"Shall we sit here?" Jack asked, pointing to a spot on the floor and sitting down, cross legged, and pulling out his list. "Well, erm, my favorite animal is a koala bear, and I picked it because they're different from a lot of other animals, and they aren't REALLY bears. Although, now that I think about it, I wouldn't really want any characteristics of a koala," he said with a chuckle. "I think having a pouch on my stomach would be incredibly weird and unnatural."
He tapped his chin in thought. "Maybe their claws? Or perhaps their ears," he suggested. After all, he had a slight feeling that he knew where this lesson was going. "What about you? What animal did you pick?" he asked Cela.
"Sure!" Celandine sat down with her feet tucked under herself. "Ohhh a Koala! Well, how about the cuddly characteristic? Even though they are actually feisty, people want to cuddle them, especially girls. Hugs are nice, wouldn't you want to be huggable? Or are you already?" Celandine laughed a bit and offered a friendly wink.
"I think the claws are cool because it helps them climb trees really well and I totally loooooooooooooooooove climbing trees." or she had until it had started getting mildly awkward.
"I chose a scorpion!" Celandine informed Jack. "Best thing about them is they can control exactly how much venom they inject into their prey. Also they dance. The promenade à deux. I mean, I can dance already but it's pretty cool that they have a special name for their dancing." A particularly special
kind of dance, but Cela saw no reason to go into particulars.
Did that mean Cela wanted to be venomous and to dance with boys?
Um...
