Tora giggled a bit and pointed her wand at another dark corner.
"Solis Focalis" she said bringing out more of the creepy crawlies and directing them into the maw of another plant. "You'll never feed the plants that way," she said over her shoulder to Adrienne. "You have to get at least a little bit close to them!"

Suddenly she felt a leafy tentacle on the back of her neck. Her head whipped around and she stood eye to toothy grin with one of the plants she had yet to feed. "Uhhh... Adrienne" she whispered, afraid that if she moved the plant would strike.
"You know what?" Adrienne said, a bit snappy now, partially from fear and partially just from annoyance. "I don't actually want to feed these stupid plants. This was all your dumb idea." Okay, so maybe it was kind of a good idea, in comparison to some of her own that she'd written down for homework, but it was certainly scarier than any of hers, and plantier, and greener, and probably slimier, too, given the ooze coming from that weird-looking flower over there.

Oh... oh dear. Was that a piece of plant? On Tora's neck? Adrienne was not responsible for this, and should totally be able to just leave, quickly. And she was tempted to, under the guise of getting a teacher or something. And then Tora would probably be eaten. Yikes. In a moment of unexpected bravery, she reached out for her friend's hands and jerked her slightly to the right, then pulled her to the left and towards Adrienne and out of range of the plant.
