O_______________o

Well, it was too late to put the crab in first now. "It'll be fine. Just pop the little feller in there." Unless Terry wanted to do that water spell again. Theo didn't like a wasted magical effort, you know. But he did kick the bucket slightly, just to take a few layers off. Cos it was kinda still overflowing.

There. Fit for a king.

Eyeing Terry and his gloves, Theo quickly dashed to retrieve his own. That was a GOOD CALL on Terry's part.. Though, suddenly, something came over him.

....
What about his vulnerable feet? They were gonna get burned off with his pathetic shoes! >____<

Why did Theo look like he didn't believe him when he spoke about his experience with Fire Crabs? "My mum used to be the Creatures Department Head, she brought home lots of different creatures, we had a pair of Fire Crabs once and I was always allowed to help out with them." There, that wasn't so hard to believe was it?

If this went wrong and the crab fired at them, it definitely wasn't Terry's fault. "Alright but if you get burnt it will be all your own doing" he chuckled and gently placed the crab, backside first into the bucket. He could feel through his gloves that the heat was starting to cool down until eventually the crab was cold enough to touch with his bare fingers. He took the gloves off and placed them beside him on the workspace, glancing up to see what the next activity was.

The next part of the first step was too check for soft spots and cracks and the twelve year old gently rubbed the shell, satisfied that there wasn't anything drastically wrong with the crab. He let go of the creature and looked at Theo. "Your turn" he indicated towards its shell.

What was next? He picked up the brush and waited for Theo to stop with what he was doing. They were onto step two now, it was going well!
