Pushing the door open, she screwed up her face a bit. Someone didn't clean the poops in a long time. Ugh. Or maybe it was just the natural smell of all the animals. Heh. Either way, this made her question professor Williamson's usual smell since y'know he was THE care of magical creatures.
Before she could head for the bunch of Kneazles snuggling somewhere, someone sitting slightly on the edge in front of the Re'em drew her attention. He was pretty much the only one in the barnyard. And he was simply staring at the creature.
Louisa walked over to them.
"Err...I don't think it'll help staring right into the Re'em's eyes." Whatever he was trying to do here, it wouldn't work. Louisa knew it. And she was using her neutral curious voice tone with him, she was being friendly.
Because of the Re'em. They didn't want to upset him and get killed by the negative energy against each other. Ahem.
Joćo gasped slightly at the approaching footsteps. What if it was
HIM!? He raised his eyes from the book quickly and stood there almost frozen, looking at the animal. If it was him--looking wouldn't work best. But he
had to see who it was! Some more seconds passed staring at the animal, heartbeats getting faster and faster when--
She talked.
He let out a huge sigh of relief, although she didn't exactly make things any better either. The colour of his face started to return too. If the man came, Louisa would hide him, right?
"So it's a Re'em?" Clever girl! So they were talking in a friendly way again, it seemed? After potions, that is?
Heh. She wished! He wasn't going to make a scene of course, but he was going to keep things formal. And neutral. She had chosen Adam over him, and even hexed him for that idiot. She'd used him as her manservant. Those were hard to forget. But as long as she kept her mouth shut, he was fine.
He didn't get up, but he scooted over where he sat so that she could sit too while he tried to find Re'em in the book.
