Lyra eased her way to sit in the floor as she began scratching the little niffler behind the ears. "You are just adorable," she giggled as she moved her scratching to one side. "You like my shoes? Well..." She leaned down to whisper as if she were telling someone a secret.

"Professor Bunbury took these shoes off and I've been watching them...until she asks for them back of course." Her green eyes stared at the niffler for a moment. "Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone!" She began giggling as who in the world would he tell? How would he tell? Squeak it out? And that made her giggle even more.
