Louisa observed the two fire crabs slowly interacting, Peanut sufficiently going back to its peanut when Bob touched the gifted nut welcomingly, and that made her smile. But no 'awww'ing at them.

She leaned closer and stared intently at her fire crab's shell, checking if he missed a jewel or suffered from any other obvious irregularities. He did have a couple of jewels scratched and missing a teeeensy piece, they maybe needed polishing and some scrubbing? The touching check up will happen when she had his rear in the water like they did in class, Louisa was not going to risk her HAIR. Up to grab some items from the cupboard, "A bath is in due, he seems like the type to care about smelling good to his peers."
"She doesn't chew hard tiny foods as well as a human person does," Vivi offered apologetically, and she tossed the peanut away for now. Maybe Peanut could eat peanuts, but Bob was a banana and lettuce eater. And maybe worms later, if Vivi got motivated to go digging.

Which, to be honest, was unlikely.

"A bath sounds great. Will you keep an eye on Bob?" Vivi popped to her feet and went off in search of supplies: the buckets, the brushes, and towels. She appeared several minutes later laden with all they'd need to give Bob and Peanut their baths. Soap? She'd forgotten the soap.

"Now then, Bob-a-loo," Vivi leaned down to peer into Bob's little face. "I'm going to stick you in water, and you are going to like it. You'll smell fabulous, and you'll bring all the boy fire crabs to the yard with your shiny pretty shell." That was a thing, surely.

Vivi sat back up and filled her bucket.
