Sierra would go in and officially met her, but...she still wasn't allowed in the Sanctuary. So here she stood, hanging out by the gate, waiting for Professor Williamson to come along.
What...was Sierra looking as pleased as a peach about? Kurumi only glanced momentarily at the younger snake, but it was enough to frighten Kurumi.
Wait...speaking of peaches...Kurumi had been craving making some peach cobbler recently now that the weather was getting cooler. Maybe she would head to the kitchens after she did some work here and make some.
Paying Sierra no more mind, Kurumi returned to tossing little fish and tadpoles into the pond.

"Oops, slippery little suckers."
Kurumi waited a bit as the lobalug nibbled on some tadpoles and devoured others. A name...hmm...she would need to observe him a bit more in order to figure that one out. Names were very complicated things and not something you handed out without giving it careful thought. "
Professor Williamson, do you know if it is a boy or a girl?" she asked, peeking up for a moment. Although, there was a better question to be asked really. "
Or, erm, how do you tell? Is there a slight variation on coloring or size?" Because, you know, giving the lobalug a female name when it was really a male would be very embarrassing for it.
Turning her attention back to the pond, Kurumi eyed the lobalug some more, waiting for it to finish swallowing a minnow before tossing more in when...there was something wet and...bouncing? on top of her head. Slowly, Kurumi reached up and tried to feel whatever it was that had found its way on top of her head.
Hat? She looked towards Professor Williamson feeling utterly confused why he was complimenting her on a hat when she hadn't been wearing one.

Kurumi had found it just about the time that the Healer had said something about something being slippery. Kurumi removed the fish from on top of her head, its body wiggling and thrashing about wildly. "
Oops," she giggled as the the minnow slipped out of her hand and into the pond for the lobalug. "
That one seemed especially eager to become lunch."
Sushi anyone? The minnow would make a much better sushi plate than a hat for her anyway.
