Tiana and Naveen were worried about Tav having a new boyfriend because he also has a history of shitty relationships, but finding out it was Ace and actually seeing them interact made them feel a lot better. Bhavin still gave it a shovel talk, but it was thoroughly unintimidated because it knew it wasn't going to hurt Tavasya so all threats were void
Bhavin was so, so excited to show the Isle kids around his sanctuary. He loves talking to animal lovers, even better when the animal lovers also respect dangerous animals and have common sense.
They had fun, they were just disturbed by the knowledge that most of these animals were exotic "pets." He was talking about how Jaun (short for Jaundice,) a golden poison dart frog, had been confiscated from a home and they nearly rioted.
Bhavin saw Jurassic World and he had to leave the theater because the urge to yell "Well maybe if you gave her proper enrichment and had a safe enclosure she wouldn't be killing the other animals and the guests!" at the screen was far too high
Bhavin Rogers at his herpetology sanctuary
Yes, he could safely do this with the more dangerous animals, like the king cobras, because he's immune to most herp venoms and poisons and highly resistant to what he isn't immune to, but that might give the public the wrong idea about how dangerous getting bitten by a king cobra is ("it happens to him all the time and he's fine so clearly I can do it") and that could put people in the hospital or morgue and the snake will probably end up getting killed and he doesn't want that to happen. So he saves the unprotected interaction with animals for the animals that don't have medically significant venom and can't seriously injure a human.
Fun Little Facts- AK Edition
Ben has an extremely acute sense of smell. he can smell someone baking brownies all the way across campus.
Audrey loves roses. She has her own private rose garden where she grows all sorts of colors. In botany class, she managed to make a few new types of roses that grow in colors like blue, green, and black.
Aziz is physically incapable of talking without moving his hands.
Liang has an apple orchard back home where she grows all kind of "imperfect" apples. Think of Heritage Apples, she grows those.
Jane registers as A Friend to all wild animals. She walks into the forest and deer walk right up to her. She got stuck in the forest for hours because a mama deer left her baby with the safe fae and she's not going to do child abandonment, Ben.
Jordan is very into trapeze and parkour. They installed a flying trapeze thing at Auradon Prep because she loves it. Liang and Kyan are learning it.
Susu (Jr) loves metalworking.
Ruby does all kinds of hair. Even before Mal was magicing people's hair she would do all kinds of styles for some money. You know how girls had their hair in those old Barbie movies? She would do hair like that and even now, with Mal doing her hair spells, everyone goes to her to style their hair.
Anxelin is the only one of her siblings who loves messy painting. When she paints it gets clear up to her elbows, all over her clothes, in her hair, and she's excellent. The more paint is on her the better her painting is. When she finished the one of the Secret Six, she had so much paint on her clothes that she didn't look goth.
Chad started learning sword-fighting after watching Ystin and Li Shang sparring.
Zephyr, like his mother, loves to dance. He moves like gravity is just a suggestion that he rejected.
Elle's wheelchair has a sticker on it that says "Questions = $5." She makes them for other people, too. Kyan has one on their crutches.
Kyan has cerebral palsy affecting their legs. They can walk using crutches after physical therapy and now they're looking to be a physical therapist. They aren't really interested in being the ruler of Atlantis.
Hryhoriy (Herkie) works with Ystin. He's kind of like a co-teacher. When a disabled student (Kyan, Elle, Riah, etc) is in one of Ystin's classes, Hryhoriy will have something else for them to do so that they can set their own limits and won't get hurt. He listens very well, actually, and he makes sure they tell him what they're thinking.
Winter Nolan is not actually the child of Snow White. Her father, the Big Bad Wolf, was sent to the Isle right after she and her siblings (six in total, though one of them was born dead and now goes as Ghost) were born. Snow knew that they would be sent there is Beast found out about them, so she pretended the six were her children and by the gods she will stick to it.
Yi-min can beat literally anyone at arm-wrestling. She has her father's supernatural strength.
Ally has a twin brother, Alastor.
Carina dies inside every time someone makes tea improperly.
Arturius knows that the Swords of the Cross, along with the rest of his father's armory, weren't actually lost, they were just hidden away. He was chosen by Fidelacchius, the sword of faith, and he knows who Amoracchius has chosen as her new wielder. He also knows that Esperacchius has finally been able to choose a new wielder and he doesn't know who Harriet Jones is yet, but she must be awesome.
