As it was, Blaze didn't return for his treats anytime soon. Anna couldn't say she blamed him, though. She imagined Blaze wasn't too thrilled about jumping back into his cage anytime soon. So she'd done what any other good caretaker would have done---she let him be. Anna had spent the extra time touring the nursery and watching all the other adorable little creatures spend time with their new caretakers. After a good quarter-hour of touring, Anna heard a slight over by Blaze's cage, and she looked up to see that her beautiful baby phoenix had returned. Smiling, Anna turned around and headed back for his cage.

"I bet you're hungry, arent you?" she asked, sitting down on the ground next to the bird. She grabbed ahold of her bag and pulled it open, then began digging for the treats she'd brought for Blaze to enjoy. Since Blaze was herbivorous and fed only on plants, Anna had brought him some celery sticks and lettuce to munch on. Anna hated celery sticks...and lettuce, too, but if they'd make Blaze happy, then she'd be happy. Not wanting to get accidentally bit, Anna broke the celery and lettuce up into small pieces and poured them into a small bowl she'd brought along. When she was done, she slid the bowl in front of Blaze and watched as he devoured the treats. "Wow. I take it you were a little on the hungry side," she said, laughing as she watched her bird.

While Blaze ate, Anna decided to clean up his living quarters a bit. The cage could use a good cleaning and Blaze could probably use something other than the ground to perch upon. Anna started by scrubbing the bars of the little cage Blaze called home. The cage wasn't too bad, just a little dusty from all the in and out movement of the students and other creatures. Anna almost hated that she had to leave Blaze outside all the time in this nursery. If she had her way, she'd buy a big, beautiful perch, put it in the Common Room, and move Blaze in there. He would probably have more freedom and be able to move about more, too. Not all the creatures could be moved into the Common Rooms, though, so it wouldn't really be fair for Anna to have Blaze with her all the time. When she was finished scrubbing the bars, Anna spread a small blanket across the bottom of the cage. That would at least give Blaze something nice to walk upon. Finally, when it was just about time for her to leave, Anna attached a little pet water bottle to the side of the cage. Blaze would probably like using that for a quick shower or a nice drink of water in between visits.

Anna then turned back to Blaze and motioned for him to get back inside his little home. Anna giggled as Blaze promptly obeyed and strutted himself right back inside the cage. Anna kissed her hand and then placed her hand on Blaze's beak. "Have a good night. I'll come and see you a few times tomorrow, too, okay? Bye now!" she said. As soon as the cage was relatched, Anna picked up her bag and headed back out the nursery.
