Ella walked down to the Courtyard with a blanket, her messenger bag full of different treats, and Barnabus, sitting happily on her shoulder. "Wow Barny, you must love it up there! You haven't left my shoulder since class." Barny gave a little squeak and Ella giggled. She was so excited that Professor Williamson was letting the class work with the puffs for homework, especially since she had grown quite fond of the little yellow puff ball currently tickling her cheek. She smiled as she found an empty bench. "We're going to hang out here for a bit, okay Barnabus?"

Ella pulled out a piece of the chocolate that Logan had given her for Valentine's day. She placed Barnabus on to her lap and held the candy out to him, waiting for his reaction. Suddenly, a tongue emerged from his mouth and started to lick the chocolate with enthusiasm. "Woah Barny, you must really like chocolate." As she continued to watch, Barnabus devowered the candy, looked at her with eyes that screamed 'Give me more!' She laughed at this, thinking that Barnabus and Ella were a lot alike."You're a puff after my own heart, Barny."

Ella wondered what it would be like caring for Barny until next class. If he would enjoy their bonding as much as she would. She pet the little guy, watching as he seemed to be purring. "Do you like that?" she continued to do it, giggling as the creature seemed to become more and more relaxed. "I don't want to put you to sleep Barny but maybe this is how I would do it!" She pulled a notebook from her bag, wanting to remember that the whole petting thing seemed to relax her puffy friend.
