Originally Posted by SilverTiger ”Nice to meet you too,” Stasya had said back with a grin, still letting her eyes travel over the accessories that were on display around where they were. There had to be something she could buy for Dobby, even if she was supposed to try and only spend the money she’d been given on stuff for school. A scarf or something for Dobby was something school-related. Her attention had gone back to Isa as the girl had asked, though. “His name is Dobby.” Like the elf.
At least she hadn’t gotten the normal reaction to her saying she wanted a goat. It immediately made her feel way more comfortable with the older girl, although her eyes had widened as she had started asking all sorts of questions. “Not to eat…,” she interrupted, almost insulted by the implication. That’d be like someone asking if she wanted to eat Dobby. Or the ducks she’d befriended back home. “There’s room back home if I got one.” She’d find somewhere to keep it if she got one. That wasn’t something she worried about. She’d proven she could take care of animals. “Well, actually it’s a crup. I think we were s’posed to give it back a long time ago but papa sort of had to go away for a while and we didn’t know who it was for so we still have it? It’s still a baby.” Actually, she wasn’t really sure how old it was. Papa had just said she could help her take care of it.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another boy wandering closer and trailed off in her explanation about papa’s crup. “Hi!,” she said to him with a smile.
Isa smiled at her new friend Stasya. It was great meeting people who shared her interest in animals. "Dobby is a wonderful name. How long have you had Dobby?" Dobby. Like the house elf. A fitting name for the squirrel. Squirrels had a sort of elf-like look to them.
Not to eat. Of course Stasya wouldn't want a goat for meat if she was looking for a pet. That was probably a stupid thing to ask. "Not meat. Good. Didn't think you would want a meat goat. Just needed to know that so you can find the goat breed that is right for you. I've heard that pygmy goats are good if you just want it as a pet. If you get a dairy goat you have to milk them, but they don't have any milk until after they have babies." Rambling again. She needed to stop talking. Isa couldn't help it though. What was she doing? Was she really trying to help Stasya find a goat? Isa was all for helping Stasya find a goat. She would have to look into pygmy goats and breeders. Was this a bad idea? Maybe, but Isa was just thinking about helping Stasya get a goat. More responsible thinking would have to come before she actually did anything though. Like where the goat would live and what food it would eat and stuff. Stasya said she had space for a goat, and that was a good starting point. Parent approval would probably be required though if Stasya was planning on keeping the goat at her house. "Cruppies are adorable! Maybe you'll get to keep it for a while longer." Isa was curious about what Stasya had said about her papa being away and how they were supposed to give the crup back to someone, but she felt it would be rude to ask about that now. She had only just met Stasya, so she shouldn't ask too much. SPOILER!!: Kane Quote:

It'd be like having a chimpanzee - but without having to worry about it ripping his face off.
Or did Clabberts get aggressive too?
See, this was why he needed a practice animal!
He wasn't planning on buying anything TODAY, but it was a distraction from buying books so...here he was. Browsing the shelves and taking a look at the different animals on display. Isa caught sight of a familiar handsome Hufflepuff boy browsing the shelves. KANE WESTWOOD! KANE WESTWOOD! Um, calm, breathe. Be cool. Isa approached Kane, running her hands smoothly through her shining long golden hair. "Hi Kane! How are you? Looking for a new pet?" Her pink lips that glistened with strawberry flavored lip gloss curled back into a broad smile that revealed her gleaming white teeth. Isa had butterflies in her stomach, all excited and nervous. She momentarily forgot everything that she had just been thinking about Stasya and goats. All she saw was Kane standing there in front of her. Here she was smiling and running her hand through her hair, just sort of staring at Kane without realizing that she was staring. Nothing else seemed real right now. Oh, was she staring at him. Awkward. Um, maybe she should, like, say something. "What have you been up to this summer?" Was she asking too many questions at once?
