Enjoy everyone. I'll come visit for some playtime once everyone else is taken care of, okay?" Lia smiled and gave one or two of the the kneazles that had come closer to her another gentle head rubbing.

"Go on and eat now. I'll be back soon." Once all of the kneazles were occupied with their food and water, she slipped out of the enclosure and made sure that the gate was closed tightly behind her. Returning the empty feed bucket to where it belonged she looked around for the professor.

Spotting her tending to the thestals, Lia quietly wandered over, leaning against the the outside of the stall remaining out of the way. It was still.. strange being able to see them and it was hard not to think about why she could.. but she was doing her best to block that out. It wasn't the thestrals fault that she could now see them. Sometimes, like right now, she couldn't help but look at them. They were an eerie sort of beautiful.
Somewhat startled when she looked up and Dahlia was over at the stall, Mia nonetheless smiled at the helpful student. "Do you want to help?" She was...well, either Dahlia was either staring at her distributing the meat to the creatures, or Dahlia was staring at the thestrals themselves. And if it were the latter...that would be very unfortunate.

But also somewhat helpful, to have someone who could see them during feeding time?

"They're..." A little unnerving, yes. A lot unnerving. Feeding something that was...very clearly there, and...very clearly completely unobservable. What could she say that was reassuring? "They're not all that bad."
