 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Never fear, Weasley or Walter White or Whatever, some students had zero intentions of taking any notes. This student in particular, duh.
Speaking of 'duh', Nem did not immediately answer the question that was asked of the class, and instead let his eyes flick to each of the other kids in turn as they provided answers. Pretty straightforward stuff, just like how the first question of any lesson tended to go.
Eventually, Nem raised a hand.
"Funny, isn't it? A lot of animals can be really sensitive to their environments; a temperature change of a few degrees in the wrong direction can even make some of them cark it. But some can withstand all kinds of stuff. It depends on the animal but, generally speaking, a creature requires specific kinds of surroundings and requirements to thrive, and live its best life, or simply not die or whatever." Nem paused and scanned the class again, then looked back at Walter. "Humans - we're part of the animal kingdom too, obviously - we can be pretty resilient. Like if Castillo were to fall into that thing-" he nodded towards the pit, "-she'd be in a different environment, but I'm sure she'd be just as pleasant as she is on... relatively dry land." Not that Nem was planning an accidental nudge or anything, but Castillo didn't need to know that. "Just a hypothetical example, of course. Don't want anyone getting any ideas."
Just to be clear, this wasn't a point in favour of people. That resilience just meant humans were capable of being utterly intolerable in numerous environments. |
