 Post 2 part 3 Fluttery Pegasi
Hadley opened her mouth unsure of how to reply. "I'll, uh..." Oh look, her ten minutes of simmer was up. Welcoming the distraction, Haddie wet her finger in the still full measuring cup and stroked Asher. The ferret wasn't exactly pleased at the impromptu bath, but he'd get over it. "...Not to, uh, call him a Dodo bird?" she suggested, peeling a few hairs from her finger and dropping them into the cauldron. The rest she wiped off on the side of her robes.
Hadley stirred the cauldron, three times, yet again, all the while considering Rachel's question earnestly. She shrugged as she removed the stirrer and flipped her minute glass. Six more minutes of waiting. Yippee! "No, I'll... I'll try." The Californian Eagle nodded, more to herself really. "I will," she promised. "But he has to try too." The first minute ran out, and Haddie quickly flipped it, almost as if she was glad for something else to focus on, even if just for a second. "And, uh... if we can't be friends, I'll bite my tongue or something. And give you two some space whenever you need it. Or something." The second minute ran out and Hads flipped the glass again. Just four more to go before she poisons herself. Yippee!
