 tarantula #1 Granddaddy Ravenclaw | | Jermione Granger
Nicky watched as the creature climbed down Ichihara's arm and onto her desk. With a small smile, Nicky rested her hand palm up. "Why hello there, beautiful," she said as each of the eight legs climbed onto her hand. "Masuru" she repeated the name softly, turning her hand so that it could make it's way to the back of her fingers.
Nicky knew these creatures. She knew their disposition. Their anatomy. And so as Ichihara gave the assignment, Nicky was completely focused on letting Masuru walks from hand to hand. She took note of the angle of it's legs, the delicate hairs over it's body, the way it tickled on her bare skin.
"What are we going to turn you into, hm, pretty thing?" A hairbrush maybe... something articulated... Nicky chuckled a little as one of the creatures leg tickled the inside of her wrist.
