Ok now she had to brush the fire crab. Hannah grabbed her brush...honestly she was a little nervous about brushing the thing that could shoot fire out of his butt. Sure the professor had said that the water would contain the fire shooting creature, but Hannah had her doubts. She was sure that if she irritated it enough that it would find a way to burn. Hannah would...if she was a fire crab and all.
Hannah put her long blonde hair into a pony tail...just in case things got real. She took the brush and started to scrub the crab lightly in a circular motion. "It's ok crabby." Merlin, now she was soothing the blasted creature. Oh well...whatever it took to not get burned.
She paid special attention to the jewels. Oh yeah she scrubbed, and scrubbed until she had them sisters shining. They were looking good. Maybe this was a pretty cool crab after all.
Wait. Was Elliot naming her crab? She shot her a friend a look. Well, technically Hannah didn't have much room to talk because she had just called hers crabby.
Scrub, scrub, scrub. She steered clear of the scaled...no need to mess up a good thing she had going with the crab.
"Don't look at me like that, Lockwood. You now you loooooove him," she said, and she stuck the firecrab in Hannah's face, laughing hysterically as she did so. Artemis was content..still. Fortunately. And his shiny emerald jewels were shiiiiiiny and new! Whooh! Elliot was quite please with herself.
After she...shook the crab in Hannah's face, she set him back into the bucket, squinting once again at the directions on the board...Oh! She was done! But no! Artmeis was going now!
"I have to say goodbye, now, Artemis. But I promise to come visit you..as long as you promise not shoot me with your...butt." Yep. His BUTT. Elliot still hated the word. She placed him back in his cage...and placed the dark cloth over the cage..hmm..was it dark enough in there? Poor Artemis would now be lonel-
WAIT.
WHY was Elliot caring soooo much about this...FIRECRAB? It didn't make sense! Elliot barely cared about PEOPLE, much less firecrabs! What was the world coming to?!
The blonde picked up her supplies and went to go wash them...her mind spinning...
