Her eyes automatically followed Lex's hands as they worked on the telescope. She had paused to wait for hers to dry and was now both listening and watching the lioness. It was good to be sure that Cassia was doing the cleaning thingy right and so was Lex. From her angle she could see differently from the lioness and vice versa. "
There, you missed a tiny spot," she absently pointed to Lex while listening to her talking.
But then her eyes lifted to look at the fourth-year who was surprised. Cassia could not understand why since she was doing everything perfectly right with Venom. And she knew it! "
Of course I am," she told the surprised lioness. Though this of course wasn't going to make it better. The snake squinted at the telescope's surface and lowered her head until it was leveled to see if there was any visible layer of dust. Did she have to apply more solution to it. Upon squinting and holding her breath trying to know, she decided it was good and that it was time for the holding cream.
Her hand was in midair reaching for the cream but it froze midmotion hearing the word 'killer'. "
I'd rather NOT raise her to be a killer," Cassia frowned. "
We've been over this," she said waving with the towel dismissively. Well, they obviously weren't and the snake knew that her co-guardian wasn't bluffing and indeed intending on taking her hunting. "
Of course, I'll be there if you were to take her in a trip to watch," she paused before and after 'watch' to make her opinion clear. Not that Lex wasn't familiar with it.
Her eyes back on the telescope, she carefully sprayed a thin layer of the cream as instructed then stepped back from it in order not to accidentally touch it before it dried. Now she only had to wait for it to dry and take it out to stargaze!
"
I'm thinking of taking Venom stargazing with me tomorrow," she excitedly said forgetting about the argument a couple of minutes ago. Crossing her arms across her chest, she leaned against the counter and waited for Lex to finish her cleaning.
