And, well, to the bowtruckle's benefit, she was doing better. Less snippy and trigger happy with her fingers for the most part.

And what lessons his own bowtruckle had to offer, the brunette had certainly taken on board because she was doing amazing right now. Mesmerized watching her and the creature interact, he truly DID forget that he had a task to perform as well and was only reminded of it when he caught her gaze flicker in his direction and his spine straightened a bit.

RIGHT!

Smiling at her, he offered a quick nod that she...may or may not have noticed ...Derf quickly and quietly sidestepped his way around the pair and over to the tree from whence the bowtruckle had come from. Carefully retrieving his wand and pointing it at the underside of the thick branch and caaaaarefully administered a Severing Charm to slice a thin sheet off and gingerly collected it. Clicking and chattering his teeth, Derf muttered a thank you of sorts in bowtruckle to the tree and any other lingering creatures that may still be hidden within the leaves and branches.

Sidestepping more quickly back, he hurried over to the container by the barn and deposited it as instructed.

Well, that was pretty easy. When Derf had seen the noticed about needing to wear more casual clothing and not their robes, he had honestly been expecting something a bit more, well, active than the gentle luring of bowtruckles with woodlice.

Wood deposited, Derf cautiously approached Natalie and reached to grab a bit of woodlice for himself and held the pile spread out between both his hands as he quite literally went to lay down on the ground beside her. "...you're doing brilliantly," he whispered to her, laying his hands on the ground before him in case the bowtruckle wanted some more woodlice.

She did notice the nod he gave her and wondered if he had been watching her the whole time. But she didn't want to distract herself from her new Bowtruckle friend in front of her, so she turned her attention back to her new friend and cooed at him as he ate his little snack. Meanwhile, she caught Derf getting to work out of the corner of her eye. They made a GOOD pair, she thought.

The Bowtruckle seemed to trust her quite a bit now and was happily snacking on his woodlice. Then she saw Derf return and... lay down on the ground. She grinned at him at his compliment, taking it to heart, because Derf would know best. "I'm glad it's going well. At least much better than when Picketta sees me," she said with a little laugh. Looking back at her bowtruckle, Natalie admired the little green thing with a smile. "Maybe I'll come visit you," she said, paused, and then continued. "But I suppose I'll have to bring a professor with me..." Because of those new rules. Hmm.
