So, when he passed the corridor and saw a girl kneeling next to the slimy disgustingness that was The Pit™, he thought she was in a similar predicament. Who actually wanted to go near that thing, anyway? Quinn made his way down towards the girl, stopping a bit behind her.

"Oh, um, you know you don't have to go through there to get to the kitchens. Or anywhere, really. There's probably some better way to get wherever it is you're going."

Of course she could just reach into the pit and grab the slugs with her hands, which is likely what she would end up doing. But the idea of trying to scoop them directly into the jar was just as appealing. Only.... She didn't want to get her jar all gooey, so maybe the first idea was the best one afterall. Hm. She considered these things for a moment longer only to be interrupted.

"I know," she replied immediately before looking up to see who was speaking. Kinsay gave him a good stare. He was a first year. Maybe he knew Teddy and Cooper and Sammy and Tavie. Those were her favorite Ravenclaws. "I'm not going to the kitchens." She had already acquired the jar, see? "I'm catching slugs," she explained as if it were obvious.

Hm. Maybe she needed a net. That would make this WAY easier.
