Once the underside of the rim of the fire crab's shell had been scrubbed sufficiently and all the build-up was gone, Max moved onto a certain spot on the top of the shell that had build-up right below a shiny jewel. He scrubbed at it softly in a circular motion and stopped every now and then to peek at his progress. As he worked with one hand, he subconsciously used the other hand to gently stroke the part of the shell near its head. This was kind of nice, wasn't it? The fire crab was... kind of cute. And it was mellow, just like him.

The crab actually seemed a lot like him. It was very calm and very observant - it seemed to like to watch him a lot. He was the same way. Was there a girl version of the name Max? Maxella? Maxema?

...Maxine. Of course.

"Do you like the name Maxine, bud?" he asked, continuing to stroke the shell. The fire crab just sat there, watching him; Max took that as an "I don't care one way or the other," and the seventh year gave a nod of approval. "Great. But you'll still be nicknamed 'bud.'" Because that term seemed to have come quite naturally.

Feeling that the shell looked wonderfully clean with the brush, he set it down and picked up the wet washcloth. Since he had just worked on the shell, that was the first part he instinctively with the washcloth in gentle circles to work on releasing any soil that still remained on the shell. Since he had done such a superb job with it, he moved onto very carefully and gently washing down the fire crab's stubby little legs one at a time. "Sorry if you feel violated, bud. Just trying to help." The fire crab seemed indifferent.

Once he finished the legs, he very cautiously lifted Maxine into the air with one hand. "It's okay." he assured, keeping the fire crab in the air as he worked on the underbody of the fire crab. "I'll be done in a second..." When it looked like all the soil was gone, he set Maxine back down. She seemed a little bit more lively after being disturbed, so he... let her settle back down for a moment. He still had to clean that tail.
