Cela tipped her head sideways and let the scorpion crawl up her cheek so she could have her hands free to adjust her Ravenclaw tie that she was wearing as a headband. That done, she scooped up the scorpion and held it protectively, wondering if her housemates would spaz out the way the Gryffindors on the train had.
Rachel grinned as Cela made space for her.
"Oh cool! What is i-" she cut off as she saw the scorpion that was slowly climbing up Cela's cheek. He eyes widened in shock.
She got a... Swallowing, she asked in a whisper, almost afraid that if she spoke loudly it would attack,
"A scorpion? You got a scorpion as a pet?" Rachel wasn't really a fan of insects and various bugs, but she didn't mind them that much.
"Well, what type of name do you want to give it? A human name or something more original?" she asked, eyeing the little thing. She smiled as she watched Cela hold the scorpion protectively and wondered how it was possible to love a scorpion.
Then again; there are people that have phobias of cats and dogs and owls and whatnot...
