Whatever, now Jez wanted that orb too.
"Hey little weird forest creature," she whispered, getting down on her hands and knees and shuffling closer to the squirrel and the orb. Her free hand dug around in her satchel, finally coming out clutching a small paper bag. Without taking her eyes fully off the squirrel, she took some almonds out of the bag and laid them out in her open palm. With a flick of her wrist, she threw them a little away from the squirrel, close but far enough away that he'd have to abandon the orb to get them.
She looked at it hopefully. Go get them, little guy! And let me have your shiny thing ...
Still banging his shiny nut on the ground, the squirrel let out a tiny squeak and looked up, frightened by the shadow looming over him. He clutched the nut to his chest and eyed the tall creature making rustling noises and scattering something that smelled A-MAZ-ING.
"SQUEEEAK!!!!" the squirrel flipped out, recognizing the sight and smell of tastyliscious almonds. He quickly dropped the orb, which rolled toward the Ravenclaw's foot slowly, in favor of pouncing on the almonds. The squirrel continued to stuff as many almonds as he could in his bulbous cheeks, the bright, shiny nut already long forgotten.
