Freya stepped into the nursery, glad that she had been able to take part in this 'project'. 'Seems more like a break from class to me, so I won't complain...'

She walked along the rows of smaller cages that lined the one side of the room. 'I can't seem to find my name.' Freya thought as she searched for a tag with her name, once she found it she would know what animal was her responsibility. 'Aha! Found it!' She kneeled down next to one of the cages after spotting her name, and looked inside the cage.

"Awwwww..." 'It's so bloody cute!' Okay, maybe not everyone would think that, but Freya thought it was adorable. The animal resembled a hedgehog...in a way, but had noticeably pointier teeth, shorter snout and longer claws and quills. The creature was a brown-grey color, and blended in with the contents of the cage.

Freya found a pair of gloves nearby, carefully opened the cage, and took out her animal. "Aren't you the sweetest thing..." She said quietly and calmly to the little animal as it made no attempt to flee, but blinked it's eyes against the bright light outside. Freya looked at the tag again, "Female huh? Now I've got to decide what to name you..." She kept the animal close to her, allowing the little thing to remain in the shade. "Hmm, oh, I know, Noor. It means 'light', which you apparently have to get used to soon."

After deciding on a name, Freya took the animal out to the pen for a while, allowing her to sniff around and dig in some of the soft dirt that was in the area. 'Maybe I should clean, Noor's cage as well, that might be nice.' Thinking for a moment, Freya rummaged through her side-bag and pulled out a tissue box, still containing the paper. She emptied the tissues from the box and placed them in her bag again, but kept the box out. After a few more minutes, Freya picked, Noor up and headed back to the Knarl's cage. Freya placed the tissue box inside and filled it with some new, clean shavings. "That should make things a little more comfortable." Freya said to the little animal as she placed her back inside and watched for another moment.

Noor dug around in her cage for a while, kicking shavings everywhere so that they even found their way into Freya's hair. Freya took out an apple and cut it up into very tiny cubes, offering some to the animal in a small dish that was provided. Noor sniffed the food for a moment before turning her back on it and crawled into her box, falling asleep within a few moments.
Freya sighed a bit, 'Babys always sleep so much. Guess I should be going though, I've been here for a while.' She made one last check on the cage before locking the clasp and heading back to the common room.
