His eyes flicked upwards towards the ceiling for a moment - as if wishing on a higher power to make Louisa hurry up - before resting them on her face again. She was doing well. Or so he assumed anyway.
The moment Louisa started to scream and flail about, Lewis let out a surprised yelp while letting go immediately of the plant as if it had eaten his hands stung him and took a few hurried steps. "W-what happened?!" OMG! Had it come alive?! He took another few steps back until he hit somebody else's work station which caused him to jump a little and quickly make his way over to where Louisa was standing. "D-did it move?!" Where was Green Bentley?!
After a few more seconds of just blinking at her, Lewis' breathing had calmed down again and slowly her words were starting to sink in. She had touched the lip?! That was all? His eyes were back on the plant now and while it was still scary - and ugly - as hell it was definitely not moving. So, back to work then? Not that he was too keen or anything but they did have to finish it.
Swallowing hard, Lewis approached the plant again and after only a second of hesitation resumed his previous position with his hands holding its mouth open again. "We...we're almost done." Which was a lie since they still had a couple of more things to do but he'd learned that a lie like this one wasn't really a lie. He was...just trying to calm them both down. And get this assignment done as quickly as possible.
If Louisa's own heart wasn't about to get plucked out of her chest, she would've gone typically mocking and sarcastic at his reaction. Alas, this opportunity was gone with the wind. [/mugglebornbackground]
Nodding reassuringly at the boy, Louisa shakily continued this
torture task. Moving the brush upward and downward, flinching every time her fingers touched the lips with sometime a squeak if Lewis' hands were a bit saggy at their job.
she needed someone to blame
"
Okay, okay... I guess teeth are over.." She stepped back and siiiighed, throwing the brush to the ground disgustedly. Not that it showed because Louisa was acting disgusted all the time anyways. "
Flossing is next... you can take a break." For thirty seconds. Louisa hurried to get the flossing line.
How exactly were they supposed to do this? It probably meant... Oh no. Louisa stood back in front of the evil plant and swallowed. "
I.. think.. we need to get inside its mouth." She looked sideways at her
martyr partner before slapping him on the back with one hand and shoving the flossing line onto his chest with the other. "
Your turn." And she would hold the plant's deadly mouth open for him. She could do it now that she made sure the plant was actually sedated and safe. Thanks a bunch Lewis.
Without waiting for his permission, Louisa took two steps forward and stood on the plant's side. It wasn't so intimidating when you didn't have to look at its teeth so closely and directly. The Ravenclaw extended her hand and touched the top of the plant's head only to jerk it back to her chest with a squeak. Breathing in and out several times, Louisa did it again and this time she managed to get hold of the plant's head.
She was not going to touch the lips. Steadying the head should be enough for him. Whether he wanted it or not.
"
HURRY!" She hissed.
