In those instances she would have to act quickly otherwise someone was likely to lose a pet or some other thing of value. Eh, details details. Point was her kneazle was a terrible thing and a handful when he was jealous. As for step mum, Lex wrinkled her nose. "Not. One. Bit. We have a mutual dislike thing going on." She shrugged. It was an old issue. Nothing new.
Charlie looked a bit taken aback by the fact that the plant was man-eating. "Those are the best kind. I wasn't really sure about doing the competition until the Professor mentioned that there was a chance I'd go up against one. Haven't you ever been drawn in by the promise of life-threatening danger?" No? Was it just her?? She found herself laughing at the request. "I won't. I'm really good at this whole not dying thing. This is my fourth year here and all my limbs are still in tact." GRIN.
Is...what allowed? The torturing. Lex shrugged again, shifting the kneazle to make him a bit more comfy. "They have a torture chamber down in the dungeons, I figure if they have one of those then it must be allowed. I had detention in that room once. It wasn't so bad." Not with the ice-cream she got. It was actually kinda fun.
"It's not all that sad. They don't like me much anyway." She could tell they tolerated her but could see there was little beyond that. "How often do you see either your mum's or your dad's family?" Lex was aware that some people were close knit like that. Must be nice...or really annoying.
Her eyes widened, she liked that idea very much. "I should! Hey, do they have Yetis in Poland?"
Was it possible that the more emotionally demanding the kneazle got, the more adorable he was? Quite, to Charlie anyway. Although the kneazle acting out and not behaving, etcetera, didn't sound like fun, really. You know, the cleaning up and everything afterwards. Charlie smiled softly at Lex's nose wrinkle, tilting her head to the side.
"I'm glad to think I'm not the only one," she said. Even though Elaine wasn't her step-mother as of yet...
Apparently she would be soon. Sigh.
"I can't say I have," Charlie laughed, shaking her head at the prospect of life-threatening danger being enjoyable. Nope, not something that she would enjoy getting into. Especially not if it was a
promise. She shuddered a little at the thought. Not for Charlie, not today, at least.
".............Do you mean that there is a high chance of me losing my arm?!" Whilst she was here? Or something along those lines? That was not fun! That was SCARY. Charlie liked her arms and legs.
And to think that Charlie had embraced the school so far.
"A chamber. For torturing people." Nope, she did not plan on getting detention in the near future. Or ever.
"And... did they torture you?" And how had they done it? Was it painful?
Charlie found the fact that Lex's family didn't like her incredibly sad, and she frowned at the thought. She knew her dad and his partner didn't have much time for her, too, so she knew how it felt.
"I lived with my dad permanently from when I was six, I saw my mum and Christmas and in the summer and now... it just depends." What with her being at school now, and stuff.
Yeti's in Poland? It wasn't something Charlie had thought about.
"I'm not sure. Maybe I should go looking next time I'm there."
