Fiyero waited patiently as the line inched closer to the pen. He'd heard of crups, but he'd never seen one up close before. They looked a lot like the jack russell terrier that belonged to the little old lady who lived across the street back home. Hmm... maybe the neighbor lady was secretly a witch.
"Thank you, Professor," Fiyero said politely as Professor Draper handed him a particularly hyper little crup. It squirmed a little in his arms, si he gave it a scratch behind the ear, just as he'd seen Professor Draper do earlier. There... that seemed to calm the crup down a bit.
;Hey, girl," he whispered, still stroking the cruppy's ear. Well, at least he assumed she was a girl... she was wearing a pink collar, after all. "What's your name?" He turned over the gold tag. "Glinda..." The cruppy's ears perked up at the sound of her name, and Fiyero suddenly had to stifle a laugh. Was that a joke? Pairing a crup named Glinda with a kid named Fiyero... his dad would get a huge kick out of that when he told him!
Fiyero sat on the bench next to the nearest tub, and Glinda snuggled into his lap, licking his free hand a few times as he continued to pet her. "Well, you're just full of sweetness, aren't you?" he said. He guessed that must be why her name was Glinda... it was rather fitting now that he thought about it.
