She grimaced when the blanket was pulled back to reveal SERPENTS inside the crate. She loves a lot of creatures, but snakes? Ugh, no. The purpose of this divination is to find out where is safe and where is not. But snakes in the wild are supposed to be super dangerous. If she were strolling through the grounds and got a gut feeling that she was not safe, she would NEVER just pick up a snake and perform Ophio-whatever. The creature would be the source of her feeling unsafe!! Or she would need to have a pet snake and carry it everywhere to tell if she is in danger, but that is just out of the question.

Still, the professor said that these ones like humans. Irithel followed Ashley as she picked up a snake as if it were a cute kitten. "Hey Ash, can I partner up with you? I kinda don't like snakes," she said and gave the snakey an awkward pat-pat.

Ashley was with Irithel on some of those thoughts. Didn't the professor know that, in Australia where she lived there were very poisonous snakes? That she would never touch? But she had good feelings about this little guy. "Sure, Irithel. Do you wanna hold it a little? It's a nice snake. Unless it tries to kill you which it won't." She held her arm out. "See?" The little snake slithered down her arm and hissed sweetly at Irithel. "Nice snakey." Wait a minute. The professor never said the snakes weren't dangerous. She said that they were tame. Those were not the same thing. She almost recoiled as she looked questioningly at the professor. But no. The professor would not let them hold poisonous snakes, right? She shook the thought away. "This one is kinda cute, isn't it? HEY PROFESSOR, what kind of snakes are these?" Hopefully they were garden snakes or something.
