Now that the right texture and temperature of the delicious carcassy goodness for Vaska had been achieved, it was Zhenya's job to feed the baby griffin, who seemed to be aware that there was food. Yes, Vaska, it would be coming soon.

Squark!

Squark!

"Shh," Zhenya said, calmingly, like she did when Teddy and Ava were n00borns. Zhenya smiled at the disgusting thought of regurgitating some of this ick into Vaska's mouth. Eww.

But Vaska was ALL UP in this carcass. Zhenya had been able to calm the griffin down enough so that she was controlling the dripping of the food into Vaska's mouth, rather than Vaska fighting her to get to the bottle. She didn't quite finish it, but most of it had gone by the time Vaska turned from the bottle. She must be full. Zhenya set the bottle down on the ground, and now it was time for her to go to sleep.

"I once was a little girl, and then I got my letter and I came to Hoggy-Worts. I had some warts on my nose but the hog made them disappear. Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby sweet griffin Vaska, close your eyes, dream of worts, and may Hogwarts be there for youuuuuu," Zhenya hummed to the griffin, making it up as she went on, watching as Vaska's eyes got droopy...

Droopy...

And closed.
