Re: [In-person: Patrick/Newt]
[Patrick left the topic of Adrian and, instead, he willingly followed Newt to see if the animal Newt spoke of was home. It was a strange way to word it, but Patrick was not surprised at the language Newt used when it came to his creatures. Patrick, himself, was a great lover of nature, but he was more partial to flora than fauna. Still, curiosity led the way, and Patrick willingly approached the hill with the door that opened.] We can go inside? [It was a rhetorical question; Patrick was already following Newt into the low-ceiling'd space.
He was quiet when Newt lifted fingers to lips, and he refrained from brushing dirt from his hair, but Patrick mouthed (perhaps unintelligibly): He looks like a platypus.]
