Even though she knew Professor Thompson was a nice man, Lux was still relieved when he said she didn't have to ride on her Hippogriff. The thought of walking right by the creatures was really nice to her as long as she wasn't required to leave the ground. Her fear was that a Hippogriff wanting to stretch his wings would fly waaaaay up in the air, not barely off the ground. But she did have another question come to mind and figured the Professor wouldn't mind since it WAS part of his job to answer questions. "Could I ride mine without him flying? Or do they automatically fly when someone gets on their back?" Maybe she was being silly, but she didn't know too much about Hippogriffs besides that they were prideful and wanted respect.

Continuing to brush her Hippogriff, she moved on to the next task as soon as she was finished. Emptying out the bucket, she carefully placed the items on the ground; there was no point in dumping things out needlessly. The only thing she kept was the bottle, which she placed in her pocket for the moment.

Gently stroking his head, she started coaxing him to the little pool once she had his attention. "How about a nice bath, Mr. Hippogriff. It will be amazing and you will feel nice and clean. Your coat will be super shiny and wonderful." As she gently talked to him, she carefully led him to the pool. At first he was a little hesitant, but more head pats and a gentle pat on his hindquarters got him moving. "Good boy, there will be loads more of nice head pats for you."

Mr. Hippogriff got into the water, and she poured in half of the liquid. She was happy to see him get comfy in the water the way that Henry had.
