The little furry garbage disposal that was Alfredo continued on his feeding frenzy and Ella took the opportunity to sit down. Probably a bad choice given how hard it'd be to get back up but tired Head Girl was tired. Plus this seemed like a good time to observe Alfredo and get to know his habits better. For example, he seemed to squeak extra loud when he ate certain berries and since Ella had noticed he squeaked when he was happy, perhaps he at particular juicy and delicious berries during these loud squeaks. Maybe. And she'd also noticed that as the puffskein moved to the opposite side of the bush, he slowed down a bit. Perhaps he was getting full after all. "It's okay to take your time, Alfredo. There are others in front of us and I'm enjoying the break." Seriously, she was. This was nice.

...Unfortunately for Ella, when the berries were gone, Alfredo's attention was also gone and he began to wander off. The blonde's eyes widened and she moved to get up, wincing a bit because OUCH! Yes, sitting down had definitely been a bad idea. "Alfredo, come back!" She was waving her arms from a kneeling position, still not on her feet yet. The sight must have been pretty comical but Ella was anything but amused. "Alfredo, I-" Sigh. "Animalis Fidelis!" She'd had good aim and was finally on her feet now, holding her lower back with her wandless hand. "C'mere, boy. This way." She wouldn't make the mistake of sitting down again, that was for sure.

Moving even slower now, the Hufflepuff navigated to the next bush, her puffskein companion now following behind her. At least they were back on track now. Yeah. Nearly there.
