Rather than banishing all the supplies, Toby actually got up and took them back to where they belonged, needing to move around a little more because he was getting all sorts of fidgety and antsy. Griffin had on her sad face again, and tried to follow Toby out of the stable. He'd hesitated for a moment, but let her trot along at his heels, seeing as he trusted her.

Toby stowed everything away, and grabbed a soft-looking blanket, at which point he felt a sudden weight at his feet. Looking down, he saw that Griffin had made herself at home, sitting on his feet and looking straight up at him with that cute little face. He smiled, and shook his head. "How are you so adorable? How do you even manage it?" Toby asked, bending down and scooping up the griffin baby into his arms. "Reckon you could give my little brother a run for his money."

With Griffin snuggled in his arms and trying to nip at his ear, Toby gathered up a bottle (with some meat scooped up inside it, though that part made him go a little green) and headed back into the stable and off into one of the corners and sat down with her. "I think we should get you all warm and fed so you can sleep, yeah? But first we can play."

That's right. Tire her out, get some of that energy worked out so she was tired enough to fall right asleep later. Toby knew sometimes he could only sleep if he'd done a lot of charging about during the day.

He set Griffin back on the floor and the bottle and blanket beside him. At first, probably because she could smell the meat, she tried to go poke her beak about and see what was going on, but Toby was quick in lighting up his wand so that a beam of light shot out of it.

"Hey, hey Griffin. Look! What's this?!" he said in an excited voice to the adorable little baby, directing his wand so the beam shone on the floor directly in front of her. Toby's line of thinking was kinda like how his cat liked to play this game. Griffin was immediately interested, leaning her head down low to inspect the exciting new development. Toby twitched his wand and sent the beam of light elsewhere on the floor. Griffin, suddenly in a sort of playful high alert, immediately went after it. She stomped the light with one of her talons, and Toby moved it away again as soon as she 'caught' it, all the while grinning to himself.

He could have continued doing this for hours, and might have too, if it weren't for the fact that Griffin soon started to tire out. She sure looked like she was a bundle of energy that just kept on giving, but Toby knew she was still a baby, and babies had a tendency to go from high energy to crashing right out.

"C'mere, Griff," he finally said, watching as Griffin made a determined but wobbly pounce for the beam of light before breaking into a yawn. She looked up at him as though suddenly remembering he was there, and trotted back over. "Good girl. Bet you're all ready to sleep now, yeah?" She gave a single, tired (but happy, Toby thought) squawk. He smiled. "Soon, I promise."
