Marie had been sitting quietly by the fire just holding her billywig. She was not so sure she wanted to get stung by it so she had not made her way over to the professor yet. Did she really want to make a fool of herself in front of everyone. Looking around she noticed that Evan was going to give it a try. If he could do it then so could she, she didn't want him thinking she was afraid or anything like that.

She walked over to the professor and held out the hand with the little bug in it. "Professot, I guess I am ready to give this a try." How bad could it be, she would float, giggle, then fall. Oh, falling, she didn't want to fall, maybe she shouldn't do this after all. She looked at the professor with a nervous look and just waited for what would come.
