It was odd being there without that ball of energy jumping around and knocking her over..
Looking up when she heard Alexa got closer she smiled. "Hey Alexa, I haven't seen him since I got here, but I'm hoping to see him soon. Millie is out, but Pepper is missing. I have never seen one without the other and I just wondered if Pepper was in the hut or something." She turned back to Millie and pet the wombat a little longer. Looking over to Alexa again she smiled at the first year. She didn't know Alexa well, but liked her from what she did get to know. "Want to stay and play with Millie a bit until Mr. Gibbins comes back or were you going to head to the hut and see if he might be there?"
It was just as she'd thought. He wasn't out here which meant she'd wasted her time walking all the way over here with the cauldron cakes and chocolate frogs she'd bought for him. Such a shame. He said they were his favourite. POUT.
WAIT WHAAA??
Now that the girl mentioned it she didn't see the dog that was usually so hyper active...Pepper actually
left poor Millie alone?? At a time like this when things were stealing candy??? Didn't the dog have a heart?
....Unless....
"You don't think something happened to her, do you?" She just refused to believe the dog would abandon her friend without a good reason.
Oh? So he'd be coming back. Good. It meant she didn't have to leave and she hadn't wasted her time completely.
"Sure, I'll stay!" GRIN. She knelt next to the seemingly traumatized creature and began petting her gently. It's a good thing Felix wasn't there...he got jealous much too easily.
