Evelyn gave the Professor a small smile before it turned into a grimace. She forgot the part where they had to touch raw meat. Hesitating slightly, she reached out to take the offering for the thestrals before retracting her hand away again. It was just...too gross!

Grumbling to herself, she frowned and took the meat, holding it out in front of her like it was some disease and was infested with bugs or something and moved away slightly from everyone else. It probably was diseased and bug infested anyways.

Watching Professor Morgan demonstrate how they should hold the raw meat for the thestrals to take, she suddenly found herself staring at the creatures again, watching the way they moved around the forest and each other.

Holding her hand out, still staring at the thestrals, she placed the raw meat on the palm of her hand like the Professor did and...waited. They were supposed to wait right? No matter, one was already coming her way. It looked...smaller than the others. Perhaps the youngest? Or it was just, naturally that small. Holding her hand out even further from herself, she became stone still as the creature moved closer and closer...

Until it finally sniffed the raw meat and took it happily. Was it happy? Or was it just...excited that it got food. Well one would be happy if they were excited. Right? Realizing that she was still standing there with her hand out, she slowly lowered her hand, smiling a little as the thestral seemed to be moving closer until-

It ran away. WHO did that?! Something snapped behind her towards her left, and a second later she heard someone whispering quite loudly. Ugh. The thestral was THIS clooooose! Whatever...s'not like she wanted to touch the thing anyways...

Eh...
