"I was just thinking that you were a bit like my boyfriend would be, if he'd been here," she continued, just to explain things a little more. At least he'd continued flossing, which made things easier. They hadn't stopped just to have an awkward conversation, and she'd be able to get the brushing over with quicker as well. Anything that meant she could step away from the plant was good, in her mind.

It didn't help that it seemed like even just the plant's breathing was making Isaac jump, since that only kept her on edge. Even if he'd assured her he was alright. She worried that the plant was going to be influenced by their fear, and not stay relaxed no matter how much sedation Professor Bentley had done. So far it seemed like her petting had at least kept the twitches down to normal breathing tics, although that didn't make her look forward to brushing any more. Of course, neither had seeing all the practically rotten pieces of meat and who knew what else that was stuck to the floss once that had been finished, and she looked away as it had been taken to the garbage. "I guess it's time for me to brush your teeth," she said quietly to the plant, even before her partner had returned. She figured he'd take over what she'd been doing for him once he got back, at least, so she stepped back slightly and positioned the toothbrush near the first tooth. Starting to brush, she tried not to focus on how disgusting things still were. Hopefully Isaac was going to get back soon.
Smiling softly as she said that he was a bit like her boyfriend would be. Nodding he understood now. At least she had a boyfriend, and just hoped she didn't think he was flirting or anything. Oi, if Amelia had she'd probably not be too happy with him at the moment. "I jus' wouldn't want anyone te be in danger, if I can help it. I'd do the same fer a guy even if they'd let me."

Dropping the floss into the garbage he returned realizing she'd already picked up the toothbrush and begun brushing. OI! Quietly but quickly he stepped up and began stroking the plant just as Stella had been doing, feeling the breathing tics under his hand as he stroked with stready strokes, he watched as she carefully went over each tooth. When the bottom was done he started relaxing a little. They were nearly done! Breathing a sigh out as she worked over the top ones he kept stroking the plant. "Nearly done." he murmured.

Wow if this hadn't been one of the more dangerous herbology jobs he'd ever done he didn't know what was!
