Closing his eyes for a moment to take yet another deep breath, Lewis tried not to think too much about what he was doing and where his hands were. Okay, he could do this. This was going to be fine. They were both going to be perfectly fine.

His eyes fluttered open again and focused on her when she muttered something about the plant looking scary. "Try holding its mouth open..." Now THAT was scary. And he wasn't even allowed to shudder like she was doing now. Because then he might just hurt the plant and wake it up. If that was possible.

Couldn't they just work on those other plants too? On those that didn't look THAT scary.

Lewis stared right back when she met his gaze, not wanting to look down at what he was holding or else he was pretty sure the panic that was slowly rising inside of him might just...make him run out of the class. The lips? He wrinkled his nose and glanced down for a second so he could shift his hands a little to do as Louisa had asked him to.

UGH! Couldn't she just hurry?!


Louisa narrowed her eyes seriously as Lewis' hands pushed the lips out of her way. Wow, this boy was obedient and had no chance of arguing with her. He was a first in her long sixteen years of productively argumentative life. Without hesitation she moved the brush upward as she ordered just a minute ago and started brushing, a bit nervously too. Diagonal motion seemed to get a bit smoother than a minute ago so she started the horizontal mot-

"EEEWWWWW!" The brush was flying above in the air and Louisa was flailing her arms, jumping away from the plant too. "I touched the lip! I touched the lip!!! EWWWW" FLAIL FLAIL FLAIL. D: The brush made a CLANK! nearby and it brought Louisa back to earth a bit. She eyed the plant disgustedly.

It wasn't awake yet, was it?

Moving on to grab the brush again, she gulped and held it tightly in her hands again. "Sorry." Her cheeks slightly flushed at her silly cowardy reaction, "I'm ready again..." She had only one side left to attend to anyways... maybe they could just ignore the flossing part?
