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.
... Louisa should've checked on Peanut's hard tiny food chewing skills, too. She didn't say anything though, in case the fire crab choked and died and Vivi tattled ending Louisa's future before it started. "Hopefully he won't push Bob then. We can get them worms from Spike next time." If there is anyone who'd have worms, it's the boy with the acromantula living in his hair.

Nodding her head slightly Louisa hugged her knees and babysat the two fire crabs. Peanut didn't seem to eat the nuts, he just rolled them around with his head. But... how many exactly did she give him? She stared at the SMALL amount of peanuts scattered around him. And she was biting her nails instantly, frowned and deep in thought but only for a short time because Vivi was back with all the needed equipment. "Bob lives." She assured her before dragging the bucket closer to her.

Vivi was talking to the fire crab again, and she was almost cooing at her. Louisa and her Peanut stared at each other. Did he expect the same? "Uhh.." It was awkward and illogical to talk to creatures that don't share the same dialect as humans. So the logical and not awkward Ravenclaw filled the bucket with water and grabbed her fire crab, which was defensive and started squeezing his eyes trying to fart, quickly dumping him in the bottle of water.

PHEW. After giving him a displeased look, and him giving her a bitter one, she started stroking his shell and then further down to his skin looking for any cracks or pimples or whatever.
