Having identified and named the fire crab, Ethan thought it might be best to bathe her. He did have previous experience with that in class, so he figured that was the next best step.. and then maybe feed her when he was finished? Possibly.. he'd see how everything went first.

From what he remembered, he would have to fill up a bucket with water first to extinguish any flames the little creature might emit. Looking around the stall, Ethan did not see any buckets.. or any supplies of that sort, really.. so he figured they must be in that cabinet he noticed near the back of the building. Taking a few moments to retrieve the necessary bathing supplies, Ethan returned to the stall, noticing that Clo was still in the same corner. Shy little thing, he thought.. chuckling at how unlike her namesake she was.

The boy set the bucket and brush on the ground and pulled out his wand. Pointing it at the bucket, he cast Aguamenti and watched it fill up with water. After pulling on his dragonhide gloves taken from inside his bag, he slowly approached the fire crab, thinking that if she was as shy as he thought, a gentle approach might be best. "Alright, little Clo," he said in a quiet voice as he bent down in front of her and gently put his hands on either side of her shell. "Time for a bath.." No flames yet.. he carefully picked her up and carried her over to the bucket. Setting her down into the water, Ethan noticed Clo squirm a little and attempt to shoot a flame which was quickly extinguished. Oh right.. water wasn't warm enough. He had forgotten that bit from class.. He waited till the heat of her body warmed the water and she got used to the temperature before continuing.
