Quinn winced as he felt her pinky tighten, the slime squishing between them even more. He nodded. Quinn did know about the sacredness of pinky-promises—he made one with Atlas at the beginning of the term. That was such a nice moment between them, and it honestly cemented their friendship. This felt like some sick reimagining of that moment, making pinky promises all around disgusting. Quinn thought to separate it by hands: this pinky, his left pinky, would only be used for those pinky promises he didn't mean. Slippery slug slime promises, this pinky. Other pinky, his right pinky, would be used for the good pinky promises. The Atlas pinky promises.
When Kinsay held out the slug to him, Quinn eyed it warily. He really really really really didn't want to touch it. But sacrifices must be made. He held up his already slime-covered pinky and gingerly brushed the slug along its back. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew "V-very nice baby slug..." he forced out, stopping his pets. He held his gooey pinky out, not wanting it to touch the rest of his hand. He had done it now, very well, and he didn't have to touch another slug ever again. Quinn forced a smile. "Thanks, Kinsay, you... really helped..." He looked a little funny, but Kinsay just assumed that because he was just nervous. He would've said if something else was the matter, right?
Kizzy watched Quinn and gave him an encouraging sort of smile, trying her very best to be reassuring and kind and the way Teddy always was with her when he was trying to help her step out of her comfort zone. It must've worked too because he was going for it!!! Except... How come he was petting the baby slug with his pinky? Well. Small steps towards bravery, at least. "You're welcome!" She was, evidently, quite appeased. "See? Told you it wouldn't be that bad. Isn't he squishy?"
