Just look at the cute little half bounces little Vicious was doing. Clearly he liked his name...was he a he? Did they have to check before naming them because she hadn't and didn't think she could tell the difference anyway, not unless you could just do a standard check but she remembered how different it was with the firecrabs, making it so not her fault when she accidentally gave hers a boy name.

"I'll need you to do what I say even if the spell doesn't work, got it?" Laying down the law for the puffskein beforehand so it wouldn't act all surprized when she started laying on the orders later. "If you can make this look convincing I might find you a Firstie with tasty boogers you can sample. Sound good right? Right. We're not questioning this, it's going to happen."

Lex flicked her wand toward the ball of fluff. "Animalis Fidelis!"

Did it work? Did it work? Did it work?

To be sure, she dropped Vicious to the ground and waited. So far, he wasn't making very many movements, just in turn, watching her. Okay....so....that might have been a good sign. "Remember our deal, okay?" She just had to be sure before talking a few hesitant steps away. After a moment's pause, she saw Vicious hopping toward her.

Er....success?
