The little snake slithered down her arm and hissed sweetly at Irithel. "Nice snakey." Wait a minute. The professor never said the snakes weren't dangerous. She said that they were tame. Those were not the same thing. She almost recoiled as she looked questioningly at the professor. But no. The professor would not let them hold poisonous snakes, right? She shook the thought away. "This one is kinda cute, isn't it? HEY PROFESSOR, what kind of snakes are these?" Hopefully they were garden snakes or something.
"Uh, okay. Yeah, I guess it is kinda cute if I look from a certain angle ..." she said and took the little snake from Ashley. It hissed at her again, making her flinch, then slithered up her arm without causing any harm. Irithel smiled nervously and touched its body gently. She was beginning to warm up to this creature she was unfamiliar with. "You are a nice snakey, aren't you? Let's be friends. I'm sorry I can't speak Parseltongue so I can't communicate with you, but I can try to learn it in the future and you can learn English too." She was ... rambling. The snake had reached her shoulder and was hissing at her playfully. "Ashley? Can you take the snake now? Ahhh that tickles!"
