Each little flower that opens,
each little snake that poisons,

Karel didn't often do his own dirty work, he had people who he got to do it for him. Granted, this wasn't exactly dirty work, it was related to his agreements. He'd had a couple requests related to magical creatures and animals in general as of late, alarmingly so; he had even just finished making a deal with someone and he was left studying the caged creatures. Karel hadn't thought much about it when a Gryffindor had asked for his help, he began to question things though when they'd arranged to meet him in this classroom and it had become even more questionable when he'd directed Karel to a cage that had a pair of Moke's in it. The wizard hadn't be sure at first as to why, but as they spoke. He was asked to somehow bring a couple of eggs for the Gryffindor to keep. Karel had agreed and he had a partner who knew their way around animals but right now the Slytherin was just... observing the creatures. He hadn't questioned why the lion had wanted something like this, but he had his theories. It wasn't any of Karel's business and he wasn't going to pry, he was just going to make the necessary arrangements to fulfill the request.
He hummed thoughtfully as he examined the vivarium; the Moke's weren't overly interesting, they just sat and stared at him, but Karel wanted to be thorough in his examinations; if there was even an inkling that providing his client with Moke eggs could be dangerous and could very well cause trouble for Karel, he wouldn't go through with it. He couldn't afford anyone putting roadblocks in the way of his business when it was starting out and starting to grow. That wasn't to say Karel didn't like to take risks, he would do what was necessary but some risks just weren't worth it. The fact that the Moke's were here for lessons caused very little worry for Karel, that meant that they weren't too dangerous; of course there were dangerous beasts around the school, but all that could be a risk were shown outside. These two were inside, and looked like a bearded dragon, muggles had them in the house as pets, muggles! Clearly these would be simple enough to deal with?
Karel moved towards the vivarium and tapped the the door of it before sliding the glass back and picking one up. He held it in his hands and the creature just sat there, still staring blankly at him except it's tongue protruded a little, wanting to be fed, Karel assumed. The brunette held the creature at eye level and ran his finger down its back, he knew they were highly sought after for bags and accessories and he couldn't quite see the appeal, sure it made things you bagged extra secure, but it didn't exact feel nice to the touch; the scales were rough and Karel would never dream of carrying something like that around, it felt awful but different people liked different things, who was he to question it? "I sincerely hope you are a breeding pair." He murmured to the creature; Karel wasn't thrilled at the idea of having to hunt for the eggs out of school, if it was easy enough for them to get and right under his nose. He could use another student to snag the eggs for him as payment for whatever they'd requested and if whoever it was, was smart they would know this was probably a small price to pay; a few broken rules. It was something to think about.
He heard someone walking past the door, but he continued to look at the Moke and started to put it back in the vivarium, hopefully whoever it was would just keep walking and leave him be. He wasn't feel chatty right now, he wanted to get back to the common room and to a certain witch that would be there.
