She feels more comfortable in this element, with some sort of upper hand and someone to explain things to-- god, it was like being back in high school. Perfect. "Most of their stings aren't lethal to humans, but I bet we won't be that lucky here." And then she smiles encouragingly, shrugging her shoulders in a practiced move to downplay her knowledge while still drawing attention to the fact that she knew it when other people didn't. Ah, high school life.
