He watched and waited for the dragon to take the bait, moving closer to the pool and dangling the others right over it. Willy nodded toward the volunteers but then got a somewhat confused expression on his face.
"Er, where did you guys get those bottles of baby oil? We're going to be using the buckets of oil I used to fill up the pool..." And he'd smartly only filled it up halfway so that when Roro got into the pool, oil wouldn't splash everywhere. Just somewhere.
"Anyway, once Roro gets in, we have to move fast. It will help if you hum as you dump the oil," he pointed to a few still-filled buckets, "slowly down Roro's back. I'll use my wand to massage the oil in but then once it's all in you guys should back up to your seats."[/color]
Dead ferrets?
Kurumi was suddenly reminded of hippogriffs and it brought a small smile to her face. That had been another fun lesson, because it had been hands on. Sort of like this one. The more hands on experience Kurumi was able to get with creatures during a lesson the better really. Although, Kurumi was sort of curious as to why they had feed him a liquid mixture of chicken blood and whiskey and were now feeding him solids. Kurumi had assumed that the liquid food at the beginning of the lesson meant that Roro wasn't quite ready for solid food, but she had assumed wrong. Pleasant surprises all around!
"
Professor," Kurumi asked as she picked up a bucket. See, she knew that there was no reason to have picked up a bottle, which is why she hadn't. "
How old do dragons need to be before they can begin to ingest solid food?"

"EOOOORK!" the dragon squawked, snapping at the ferret in front of him and devouring it in a few simple swallows. He wagged his big tail, noticing the hoomans gathering near him again, and sniffed the air. More ferrets! Ferrets over by da liquid stuff!!!
Roro quickly stomped over to the pool and, actually, right into it, stealing the ferrets out of his Daddy's hand. Omnomnomnomnomyum. He was so busy digesting his snack that he didn't even notice that he was standing in something cool and wet...
If there had been any doubts about solid foods and Roro before, those were gone now. Aaaaw, just look at the way he tore through that ferret! How endearing!
Bucket in hand, Kurumi collected enough baby oil into it and her arms shook a little at the weight of it as she began to slowly pour it over Roro's scaly body. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star had seemed to work during his hatching, so it was this tune that Kurumi began to hum as she proceeded to do the task she had volunteered for. Kurumi poured the baby oil over his right flank, starting at his hinds legs and slowly working her way up to his shoulder until her bucket was empty. "
Professor, do we need to put some on his head?" she asked, singing the words softly in tune to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as she did.
