Griffins! They would be working with baby griffin orphans! Janelle could barely contain her excitement. She would have to tone it down or the creatures would be afraid to approach her. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. When the Professor opened the pen, Janelle's face lit up with a smile. She would never get used to seeing magical animals. They were so.........unusual, but unbelievably cool.

Janelle followed Professor Thompson inside of the pen and looked around. There were baby griffins everywhere. She was going to make a new friend today, it seemed. Walking over to an area that wasn't crowded with students, she sat down. Janelle tried to make herself look as relaxed and friendly as possible. "Come on little griffin babies. Come to your temporary mama.", she thought to herself.

As usual, patience was important. Janelle was still working on the patience thing. It was always a challenge for her because she was ready to jump right into the task. This time she sat perfectly still (well, as still as she could manage) with a smile plastered on her face. Any time now, one would come.........she hoped.
