Huh.

[Newt peers into the enclosure. Yeah, that is a bit worrisome... Usually she goes nuts for fish. Instead, Chimney is daintily picking at the fish chunks while Beep Beep lounges in the water dish. She doesn't look up at Newt when he taps on the side of the cage.]

Yeah, that's... Hm. Thanks for calling me.

[He opens up a drawer to fish around for some welding gloves. They're a necessity for handling salamanders.]

How long's she been like this?

[bespectacledsnake]

Perhaps a day...day and a half now?

[He reaches up to adjust his glasses, pushing them higher up the bridge of his nose]

What do you think could be the problem?

[completelycrazy]

Could be that she's not suited for the temperature on this planet. You'd think that would affect Chimney too, though.

[He gestures at Chimney who is clearly not bothered by the cold. He's gulping down fish chunks, happy as ever.

Newt puts on the gloves and unlocks the enclosure after tossing in a few more fish pieces to keep Chimney distracted. He pulls Beep Beep out of the water and then out of the cage, looking her over as he does. She struggles a bit, but not as much as she usually would, being manhandled like this.]

[Semiyon chews at the corner of his lip a moment]

Perhaps she is more stressed by the change than he is?
