Sass's enclosure was looking clean, which was unsurprising given how much attention she was sure Professor Paton gave the reptile room on top of the fact they had not yet been at school very long. But... still, it was better to be safer than sorry wasn't it? She really wanted to make sure everyone knew (faculty wise) how important her companion was to her and how she could actually be responsible and care for something else. She might pretend to be dense at times, but she knew enough to know this was a privilege to have Sass here - not a right. And she would not be the reason she lost that opportunity after break or next term.

Feeling her snake slither up her arm more and drape herself around Ve's neck, she gave up on staring at the enclosure and again gave her head a gentle pet with her finger as the Rosy Desert boa flicked it's tongue out at her. It was then Vera heard the familiar voices join her, and her grin grew all the more at seeing a few of her favorite people. How lucky was she to have some of the best dorm mates?! "She feels warm and cozy too. I think she really likes it here so far! What brings you to the reptile room, Polka Dot?" She moved towards the other Gryffindor, scooping up Sass and offering her towards the other Gryffindor in case she wanted to hold her. Ve had spent a lot of time handling Sass and made sure the snake was very comfortable around all people.

Sia's arrival was not long after either and she also got a beaming grin from the brunette as she waggled her fingers at her. "She's happy as a clam. Or... whatever you'd say about a snake being happy." She wasn't good with words majority of the time, okay? "I wasn't expecting a Gryffindor reunion down here in the Reptile Room! Not that I'm complaining about it." It was ALWAYS nice to run into them.
