While on the one hand she was very relieved that it was in fact the stuffed seal that she had located in the slime, the fact that the yanking motion had sent her off kilter and further into the slugs was... regrettable. Especially since Maria was not properly attired and going to get the full benefits of the slime. She would have reached out a hand to help her, but it seemed the Hufflepuff was up before she could do so. So instead, she slumped her way through the creatures and reached out with free hand to pull a few slugs from her friend's curls while offering the seal with the other. "I'm glad we got him!"

Oh... so changing the color of the seal then had been the prank? Vera turned hazel eyes towards the creature again, observing with a tilt of her head. "I don't know. I think he's a pretty good looking seal and could make pink work. It gives him a certain... je ne sais quoi." She had zero idea what that meant, but it sounded pretty and she'd heard other people say it and it seemed to fit for the setting. But honestly, with her luck it also probably didn't. "Should we maybe make our way out and to the bathroom and clean him," and them, "up?"
