He seemed to be a bit more comfortable after she had her hands around him, stroking gently. And she would make SURE to keep her voice as quiet as possible. She was also kind of luck that she had on gloves because as she pet the puffskein, his fur was coming off. That was soooooo cool! It meant she didn't have to pluck any hairs or anything!
"That's suuuch a good boy," she said gently, taking him back to her table and sitting on her chair. She faced away from Grace the owl because she didn't want to frighten poor Basil. She continued cradling him like the PRECIOUS BABY THAT HE WAS.
"I can't wait to see what you're thinking, little guy," she coooooed, and soon she was adding the fur that had come off on her gloves into the potion. She then waited patiently for the bubbles to finish doing their little thang.
