It was the squeaky things that looked like Mum's coat that weirded him out. Clutching his pygmy puff tighter to his chest, the bespectacled boy avoided eye contact with the girl. No, he only had eyes for the ferrets right now, it seemed. "Yeah, I'd be squeaking too if I were a snake covered in fur." No offense. Not that HE was calling HER a snake or anything.
Davie looked down at his pygmy puff. "I should probably just stick to these guys, y'know. They like my boogers." Oops, that wasn't supposed to come out out loud.
Ailsa looked quizzically at the boy as he backed away and studied him. "You're going to hurt your little puff friend if you squeeze him too tightly you know." It wasn't an admonition or even judgment; just a matter-of-fact observation. "More like salamanders with fur," she mused aloud, "because of the feet you know." Another moment's thought and she looked up at him, "And just what's wrong with snakes anyway?" There was a slight challenge in her voice and a firm look in her eyes until it broke with a giggle over his comment about boogers. "They're puffs and pygmy puffs," she pointed out with an amused smile before continuing, "they like everyone's boogers."
With a little bit of shifting to keep the ferret happy she stuck out a hand, failing to notice its cuts and scratches from the chaos before Thornton had managed to calm the animals down. "I'm Ailsa. I'll help you by picking up these polecats if you'll teach me that 'arresto momentum' thing you did."
She'd help him anyway, because that was who she was, but it was silly not to at least try to get him to help her with that new spell. Besides, he seemed interesting.
