She watched and carefully backed away even more as Nadia got closer to the door. When Nadia actually opened the door, Alex gave a silent squeal and jumped back about two feet, but tripped over one of the tables and almost fell over. Luckily, she didn't though. This was not the time or the place to be making a fool out of herself. Mind you, it was never the time for that.
Heh. Nadia had closed the door rather quickly. Obviously, she had the same reaction that Alex had. To shut the door and get as far away from it as soon as possible. When Nadia had returned her gaze on her, she waited for it. She knew that there would be some kind of talking involved. After Nadia finished, Alex just nodded shortly and replied slowly, "Hopefully."
Eeek, the truth was, she relly did not want Nadia or any of the other students for that matter to go anywhere near that door or within 100 feet of the plants. Although, she was wondering who in their right mind would keep those plants there and feed them everyday. It's not like they needed anymore food. Soon they would not even fit in that room anymore. And as for the question as to whom would keep the plants there, that was easily answered. Virohsa, of course.
Shrugging, Alex quickly finished sweeping the floors and went back to reading the scroll of parchemnt, wondering what was next. Mopping. Hmm, that could not be too bad. She returned the broom back to the broomstick cupboard and grabbed a mop.
Moving between the rows, she tried to mop the floors as best as she could. She tried to avoid going anywhere near the stupid door, but there really was no way around it. As she got closer to it, she heard a low growl coming from behind that door. Alex backed away again and made a mental note to asked Virohsa exactly what kind of plants were being kept behind the door.
