"Hello little friends, we'd like a small gift of some wood from your tree." she cooed in a gentle and quiet voice.

She stood as still as she could and was thankful when her patience was rewarded and a small Bowtruckle popped it's head out from a branch high above. It began to climb down slowly toward her but then it hesitated.

Lizzie began to hum a song, the melody to Lavenders Blue. The Bowtruckle tilted it's head, listening.

Lizzie continued to hum the song and the Bowtruckle seeming mesmerized continued down towards her, reaching out a slender finger to pick at the woodlice in her hands.

Lizzie smiled gently at the small creature as it gobbled up the gift. She slowly reached into the jar in her pocket for more woodlice and deposited more in her hand.

"There you are." she replied to the little creatures happy sounding clicks.

The Bowtruckle nodded to Lizzie and then turned to look at Chloe.

"She's a friend, she and I would like a little wood." Lizzie explained.

She wasn't sure how much a wild Bowtruckle knew of English but she hoped the tone in her voice was enough. She also gestured to herself and Chloe and then to the tree.

The Bowtruckle seemed to think and then gave a little nod before it scuttled back up the tree to it's branch. Lizzie let out the biggest breath, she hadn't realized she'd been holding it in.

"I'm surprised that worked." Lizzie half laughed, half breathed.

She looked up at the branch, high above.

"I'll give you a leg up, or you can stand on my back." she replied.

"I would squish you flat," Chloe replied absently, since she wasn't interested in climbing on her partner. She was interested in how well Lizzie did at attracting that adorable little bowtruckle. He... or she... was a darling little thing, maybe younger than some of the others and thus more willing to be wooed out of the tree.

"I can reach with my wand, honestly, but thank you. Just keep feeding that cutie with the woodlice. Maybe give it a name?" Chloe smiled at the younger girl as she eased past her to the tree. Sleeves pushed up, Chloe reached her wand toward the branch from which the bowtruckle had emerged. Just a little magical trim, basically a haircut, and Chloe had her sample of wand wood in hand.

"Got it!"
