Kurumi gazed at the phoenix in aw still clutching Walnut in her arms. The cat had his ears down in displeasure for being held with his stubby legs dangling in the air. It just brought more attention to the fact that they were stubby and it would do his mistress good to remember how he was rather shy about his stubby little legs. "She is beautiful," Kurumi continued as she smiled at the phoenix and bowed her head a bit.
She noticed the phoenix take a glance down at Walnut. "Don't worry, Walnut knows better than to try and do anything to a creature like yourself," Kurumi said nodding towards the phoenix and then setting the cat down on the ground. He immediately sat on one of the chairs in the room and curled up into a ball. "See."
Kurumi took a step closer to the phoenix still with an awestruck expression on her face. "But, Professor, I thought that phoenixes has a XXXX rating by the Ministry because few wizards have ever succeeded in domesticating them. Does that mean that you were able to do so?!" Kurumi's head snapped around to look at Professor Bishop. "Most people haven't," Renée said with a smile, as Kurumi stated that she'd never seen a phoenix up close before. It was true. She couldn't even really say everyone who knew her had seen one up close, as she was generally pretty careful who she exposed Anastasia to. It was hard to avoid here at Hogwarts though, as everyone who visited her office would be exposed to her phoenix unless she was out hunting. "I'd imagine she appreciates the compliment," she added, paying attention to the poor kitty as it looked rather uncomfortable. "I'm not so sure your cat appreciates the compliment, though."
She laughed as the cat then became the topic of conversation, if it could be said there was a conversation going on with Anastasia. She was fairly certain the phoenix understood everything, but responses weren't exactly given. And as Walnut went over and curled up on yet another of her chairs, the laughter continued a bit longer. "It seems Walnut has a connection to my furniture, it seems," she observed, before it seemed the kitty was being left behind again for the newness of the phoenix. She kept an eye on the Gryffindor as she stepped closer, not exactly because she was afraid Anastasia would do anything but more to check to see if the girl really was going to be careful. "They do, and that's very true. Phoenixes aren't quite as simple to domesticate as, say, owls are. or any other bird that is commonly made into pets. There has to be a level of respect, on both sides. The phoenix and the caretaker." She wouldn't exactly call herself an owner. She nodded as she was asked about the domesticating issue, however. She didn't go into the details, as she had with Jared though. She wasn't as sure how Kurumi would take knowing Anastasia had been abused before she'd come along.
