But he knew sometimes patience and waiting was necessary for the best observation and experimentation.

He reached for his journal to record some facts, just as he heard a voice, causing him to turn. .....where did Sailor come from? Had it been that obvious what he was doing? Though to be fair, he wasn't JUST looking for the giant squid, but the confidence in his dormmate's words made Phoenix curious. "Oh? Why is it probable?"
Sailor looked at Phoenix as his dorm mate turned to meet his gaze and nodded at him as his way of saying hello, before looking back at the lake. No ripples. No bubbles. Not much movement, aside from the wind blowing. The lake was disturbingly quiet at the moment. "I've been observing." Sailor wasn't sure for how long, but it felt long. "The squid might be entertaining the Slytherins in their common room. I once heard from a passing pair of Slytherins before. It's possible." Not that he meant to eavesdrop at that moment, but conversations holding information like that were hard to ignore and forget.

He had also noticed the journal in Phoenix's possession. "Are you doing research? What are you taking notes of?" Even without the affirmation, Sailor was already intrigued with the idea of it. Observation was a data-gathering method, and that was what he thought Phoenix was out here for. Sailor could learn a new thing or two.
