Zhenya was listening excitedly to Atticus who was explaining how to interact with the Hippogriffs. She got quite excited, and shoved her gloves on and walked briskly to the bin with the insects in it. She took a giant handful and looked around at the Hippogriffs. One stood out to her, which was a slightly smaller creature. She liked that! She walked slowly towards it so there was an appropriate distance between them. She looked at it, waiting for it to look up at her, then she slowly bowed, trying hard not to blink which was getting quite hard. Pretty quickly the hippogriff bowed at her, and she slowly approached it, smiling and holding out her hand, whilst maintaining eye contact.
