 Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Ah
Now with a name that unique and …plant related…he really shouldn’t have any trouble remembering it from now on. Especially if her presence would become a common place occurrence, something he suspected would be the case by her enthusiasm on the subject. “Yes,” Marcus agreed with a nod, “however written a book is, there is nothing like seeing the natural things, such as plants and animals, in person"". A sacrilegious thought for a Ravenclaw he knew, but he’d also had plenty of experience to back his statement.
The professor couldn’t help but smile in the way she looked and talked about the plant in question. He watched to make sure she didn’t interfere with the coral, but Ms. Beery appeared to be trusted not to misbehave around the source of her interest. A good thing for one so curious, though he himself had had his moments growing up and feeling the need to experiment by touching. And dealt with the consequences on more than one occasion. “MHm the right light spectrum and saturation plays a big role,” he confirmed. "And the health of the symbiotic algae that live with it also matters.” It was what changed coral from the sickly white into the various colors it could be found in around the world.
And then her attention was solely on him and he shook his head at her question. “No, not at all. I have time on this.” Marcus was simply one to take advantage of the moments he could to avoid rushing. Or at least try given how he could get sidetracked in his profession just like any other. “Much more interesting in sharing plant facts with an interested party.” It wasn’t like every student in his classes found themselves caring about his subject outside of the classroom or even inside it during lessons.
