He brought his little orange guy/gal/puff into his lap to meet his/her/its new friend. "This is Sutherland. I just met him at the beginning of class."

He wasn't sure what the girl would want to talk about, but he had brought up the question about the naming, so he figured they may as well start there. "Erm, d'you want to start with the whole naming thing? That's what I want to know. But there's other things that sound interesting as well."

Unsure if he should continue to carry the conversation, he just plowed ahead. "Apparently these little creatures are bred from Puffskeins? I think those are usually a bit bigger. So maybe the pygmy part is meant to refer to their small size. What do you think?" he asked politely, still smiling encouragingly at her.

Ella returned Keefer's smile rather nervously. She thought of him as quite the celebrity in their house, especially since he was the quidditch captain. "Hi, I'm Ella, nice to finally meet you." she said shyly. She looked at the little orange puff he put on his lap and giggled. It was quite cute. "Hello there, Sutherland!" she said, patting its head. Ella held out her little puffy yellow friend towards Keefer's with a small smile. "This is Barnabus. I just met him at the start of class as well...well I'm assuming its a him. Who knows for sure." she said, shrugging.

Ella nodded when Keefer suggested a subject to discuss. She didn't really know anything about pygmy puffs so she figured that was as good as any topic to start with. "I think that's a great idea." she said brightly. Happy that he decided to carry on the conversation, Ella listened with a smile. As he talked about the Puffskeins, Ella became quite curious. "What's a Puffskein?" She had never heard of it but was able to add some comment about the pygmy point. "Oh yeah, pygmys are those little people right? Well it makes sense then that these puffs are called pygmys because they are small as well. Probably they average much smaller than most magical creatures just like pygmys average smaller than other cultural groups." Ella finished her sentence with a sigh, having talked quite quickly because she was nervous. It wasn't easy being partners with an older boy, let alone the quidditch captain!
