Smiling, and feeling a little relieved that the younger girl didn't go all wide eyed at the sight of the badge on her robes, Kurumi bowed her head politely to the Ravenclaw. "
Nice to meet you Penny, I'm Kurumi." This would have been the time for a handshake, but such manners were forgotten to the sixth year at the moment. She wasn't raised to do so, hence why she had bowed slightly instead.
Picking up the rather large tooth brush, Kurumi ran her fingers over the bristles to make sure that they were not dull and, seeing that it was in perfect condition, returned her attention to the Ravenclaw. "
So...do you want to be the one to brush our plant, or would you rather distract and hold its mouth open?" Gently, of course. Massaging its nose area - or where the nose would be - usually helped.
