Carefully she adjusted her grip so that she could get the mouth open wider and turned up so that Kurumi could get to the teeth easier. She felt a little resistance from the plant, like it was trying to shake off her hands but the attempt was feeble. Resolutely the Ravvie held on until the resistance passed.
Phew!
To sooth her nerves she latched onto Kurumi's last spoke words, talking always seemed to help her in tense situations. "Even if it's teeth had been brushed yesterday his breath would still stink. He's a carnivore who eats meat and slowly digests it's food. That smell is his food rotting in his stomach." Okay, so she probably knew that but it was how she got a hold of her rampant nerves. She was a Ravenclaw after all and spouting useless information calmed her.
Left right left right left right aaaaaaaaaaaand... circular motions clockwise across the top and then counter clockwise going back across...
Kurumi sort of wished they had one of those hourglass timers, the ones with the colorful sand in them. Her and her brothers used one, with red sand, whenever they were brushing their teeth in the morning and evening. Ryunosuke always turned it over the moment they were in the bathroom to make the brushing time shorter though. He was always cutting corners.
Right...she was brushing this carnivorous plant's fangs. Ahem.
Working on the back fangs now on the lower half of its mouth, Kurumi nodded when Penny went into a bit more detail. "Ah yes," she nodded, almost finishing up the fangs. "
Still, it's a shame that their saliva doesn't produce some sort of enzyme to fight that. Or, you know, that their saliva is like that of dog's, able to heal wounds of their own kind." Hmmm....that seemed like an interesting research topic come to think of it. Maybe she could study some of Xavier's saliva sometime. She would have to ask Professor Bentley after the lesson.
Brushing over the last fang on the bottom, Kurumi quickly did one last sweet over the gum line before removing her gloved hand from its mouth and setting the brush down. "
Do you want to try flossing?" Kurumi had already had plenty of practice doing so with Xavier, so it wasn't like she needed this time to practice more. "
It really isn't too bad...once you get past the smell." And the idea that it might try to chomp off your arm.
