Nibble. "This one would not - for more cucumbers."

Yes. Kappa. Because the Kappa's name was Kappa.
Well, so he said. Though Gold had her doubts.
"Go on, arrange them, then," Gold said, tones almost encouraging, as she set another piece on the shogi-ban. "Which side do you want?" she asked, as she conjured up a few more cucumbers for... Kappa.
"Kappa is not nickname." It's head tilted ever so slightly at the question, but this one caught it before tricksy one killed this one! "Kappa is on winning side!"

Slipping his wand back into the holster, he removed the cucumber from his pocket and turned it in his hand, fingers tracing over his own name chunked into the side.
"Do you eat cucumbers often, then?" he asked with a smile, hoping that the answer was yes. Because... well the other alternatives... eh. "Did you make friends with other Kappas at all? The ones that weren't trying to steal your waters, I mean... and you have horses? What kind of horses?"
It probably killed them. Sigh. Raiden wasn't really that up on horse knowledge, but still... murdered by a Kappa was nasty, no matter what you were.
"Kappa will eat often." Kappa would eat now if this one had stingy boy's cucumber. "This one has friend." It might have looked vaguely towards one of the nice cucumber-giving ones. "Tasty ones." Horses. Tasty.

Truebridge looked around.
"Keeping in mind the nature of conjured food, I'm sure if you think about it you will see why the cucumbers aren't filling the Kappa up." No nutritional value. Likely most of them disappeared right from the Kappa's body.
"Kappa do not eat to survive. a Kappa is a dark creature. What are the characteristics of dark creatures?"
Kappa really did not like. It let out a loud, noxious bit of gas that filled the room with almost visible fumes.
This one might have smirked again.

"Oh that is definitely not nice at all. I've been called a slimeball once too." Mmhmm, and look where that got that Gryffindork dog. Pffft. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you...Kappa." That made nooo indication if it was a girl or boy. Aaand, she was done 'trying'. The sharp teeth, and the hair, and the general way she was feeling a bit creeped out by it was enough for her.
*queue the drop of the cucumber* Might as well leave it there. She sure wasn't going to use it for anything. Unless it was to mess with Destiny.
Smiling at the Kappa, Evelyn slowly moved away before going back to her desk. Others could distract it.
Hearing the next question however, Evelyn couldn't help but think it was almost like deja vu. Didn't he ask that before? In a different lesson? Or was that someone else that asked that....
"A dark creature is something that harms something or someone for no particular reason. Just because it can I suppose." she said after raising her hand. "I think that most all dark creatures are magical in one way or another too. They are just....evil." Evil things. Sometimes cute and awesome, but still evil.
Nom. Kappa agreed with girl. "Kappa is polite." Politest, even. Nomnomnom.

"Well more than two cucumbers would fill this one up," Patroclus replied, finiding himself to be speaking in the way of the Kappa, "and I am glad you liked my Cucumber, would you care for another?!"
Patroclus traced in the air the enlongated oval, and with clear diction spoke the incantation, "Curcubita Intaglio" and a perfect 'Patroclus' cucumber appeared!
"Kappa can eat more than you. Kappa can probably do lots more than you." Just saying. Kappa snatched the cucumber and ate it idly.

Kappa returned the bow politely, but carefully. No cucumber??
