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.

It took a moment for the 14 year old to understand what was being said. At the moment the Piranha plant was attempting to close it's mouth. Even sedated and half asleep the thing had some strength in it's jaws. After a few tense seconds of maneuvering she felt her grip was back to where it should be. After all she didn't just have her own fingers to thing about.

Penny glanced at Kurumi as her words finally penetrated her brain. That seemed like a plausible design flaw in the plant though given that it was a plant it didn't follow the same rules that the animal kingdom did. She gave a mental shrug though and trained her grey eyes back on the task at hand.

Finally it seemed that the brushing portion was over. When she was sure Kurumi's hand was out of biting range the Ravenclaw removed her own and let the poor thing relax it's mouth for a moment. Well, this lesson wasn't SO bad.

Wait?....What?.....

Penny's eye flashed between the floss and the plant. She filled her lungs with several gulps of fresh air and then reached for the floss. Time to Cowboy up! She certainly wasn't going to loose face with a Gryffindor, especially since she was there Prefect. Efficiently she cut off a huge section of the mint smelling floss and twirled the two ends around her index fingers leaving a taut section suspended between them.

"Okay nurse," she drawled, "Open 'er up." She smiled at her partner and waited for Kurumi to open it's mouth back up. Idly she found it strange that her southern accent got thicker (didn't think that was possible) when she was nervous.
