Kurumi was letting her fire crab soak in his bucket of fresh water while she ran her finger over his rubies, checking for any other cracks or other problems there might be. She supposed that there was a little softness around the crack in his shell...but she wasn't sure what all to do about that. Professor Newlin would have to come over and take a look.
And she probably should have named her fire crab, since they had bonded and everything. Only then she was going to get attached and want to keep him and...
Wait...could she? Just for the remainder of her time at Hogwarts that is. Raising her hand to get the professor's attention, she was about to ask when...

Plus, she wanted Dragon Bait to faint again and for Elijah to take his shirt off and set himself butt on fire. Aspen was learning SO MUCH this year.
She turned her bucket over so that her crab was UNDER it. He was looking stressed so he could just chill under there for a while.
Aspen Odessa happened.
....................
Kurumi's finger froze in place over a ruby and her head SNAPPED to the side to look at Aspen. Was she.... Did she.... Kurumi wasn't even going to comment on how she had just shoved her poor fire crab under a bucket. She was too focused on Aspen's lips and the words that had just come out of them.
"
Are you suggesting that we all take our shirts off?" she squeaked, her right hand tugging uncomfortably on her collar NOT as though she were going to actually do it, more that she really needed some breathing room right now.
SPOILER!!: Instructions!
Step One:✓
Fill the bucket up with enough water to make sure the rear of the Fire Crab is completely covered. While letting soak for several minutes, lightly rub the shell with your fingertips to feel for any soft spots or cracks. (Soaking will allow any buildup, caused by its flames, to loosen)
Step Two:✓
With a soft bristled brush, gently scrub the entire shell using a light, circular motion. Pay special attention to any areas with buildup, mostly around their colored jewels and under the rim of the shell. Be careful not to brush areas covered in scales. They tend to be sensitive.
Step Three:✓
Gently massage the Fire Crab shell, under body, legs and tail with a soft, wet washcloth. This will loosen most soil. Don't worry if small flakes are released from the shell! This is just normal shedding. Rinse the Fire Crab to remove flakes.
Step Four:✓
Rinse the Fire Crab thoroughly. Closely inspect the shell for any irregularities, such as softening, excessive flaking, cracks, unusual discharge, or discolorations. Discoloration would occur on the jewels.
Step Five:
While still wet, place the Fire Crab back in the cage and cover with the cage with a dark colored cloth (the ones that covered it earlier). Rinse out supplies.
