Oh, and of course he was still making sure that the plant didn't suddenly start moving again.
That would have been...bad.
Hearing the relieving words that she was done with the brushing, Lewis immediately let go of the plant and took a step back. It had been done. He winced a little when the toothbrush Louisa had thrown hit the floor and he glanced over at her, only to find himself faced with her back as she went to get the flossing line. Right, they WEREN'T entirely done.
Until she returned Lewis busied himself with picking up the brush - he did NOT like things just lying around on the floor - and - seeing as he didn't know where else to put it right now - placed it inside the plant's pot so it was sticking out vertically. Right. And now on to the flossing part. He was ready when she was.
Lewis had already positioned himself with his hands on the plant's head again so he could hold open its mouth for Louisa when he froze, just staring at her. His...turn? "But...you were doing so well." That and he REALLY didn't want to get inside that plant's mouth. What if it DID come alive then? It had been sedated for a while now and who knew how long it was still going to last.
The flossing line he had automatically taken from her in his hands, the Hufflepuff slowly made his way around to the other side of the plant, chewing on his lip nervously. It looked a lot scarier from this side. His eyes flickered towards Louisa one last time before resting on the plant's teeth again. It was probably only fair that they would change positions. That still didn't make this any easier.
Once Louisa had taken a hold of the plant's head, Lewis took a deep breath and started flossing its teeth. That wasn't so hard actually. It was really- His hand jerked a little when Louisa hissed at him and it hit one of the plant's teeth. Oh no! Had he broken it?! Glancing up at the Ravenclaw again, he frowned a little. "Y-you're making me nervous." So stop please!
Hesitantly returning his gaze to the plant's teeth, he eyed the tooth he had accidentally hit carefully. No, it seemed fine. A little...wobbly maybe but it was fine. Absolutely. So...more flossing.
Louisa pursed her lips together, fine. She wasn't about to tell him to hurry up but he had only one minute to finish his job before she took her hands off this filthy plant. Her eyes moved toward the scene made by ---
"
Joao?" She gasped as a little boy went headbutt into her ex. "
Crap!" she almost let go of the plant's mouth
probably causing Lewis' hands to be trapped between the teeth but professor Bentley was already heading toward the three, saving not only the little boy but also Lewis from being chopped off by a sedated plant.
Her eyes moved from the Brazilian boy to Lewis working hard in front of her. She could swear that he was almost sweating in focus and seriousness. She found herself snickering at this. He was serious in a funny way, "
Geez, Lewis, you sure look like a hard working student." Heh. Also, "
So, you and Kurumi are close friends?" SMIRK. Because Bentley didn't say anything about partners not chatting together. Besides, that hand-holding thing didn't go unnoticed and won't go unquestioned.
