He was still watching the Coal Tar more than Draco, but he gave the boy a sharp look when he coughed, eyes flitting back to the Coal Tar. Ah. So they were toxic too, were they? That made a surprising amount of sense, considering they were another kind of hellbeast. Still cute though, and Steve figured his superior health was the reason he wasn't hacking up a lung. He'd certainly inhaled more than a little of the critters' toxicity.

Steve sighed and trudged along next to Draco, hands shoved deep in his pockets. He shot the kid a faint smile though, amused despite himself, "I dunno, seems like something you might do Draco, blackening someone's name just in case. But I just thought they were cute, you know? And that it might be nice to have a pet. I guess they are usually pretty dumb though."
