Today had already been a very long day. His grandfather, who sometimes like himself, actually, forgot what time it was, had Floo-ed him at 3am asking about the winged polo season. Which, it seemed, was over in this hemisphere. Which was probably just as well, since Rolf really wasn't sure if he could ride again yet, with how tight and painful his scars could be at times, and he knew if he watched a match he'd probably want to play as well, at least casually.

He supposed he should muster up more interest in Quidditch, but while he was a good flyer, he'd never been an enthusiastic Quidditch afficianado, probably because his parents and grandparents could pretty much care less about Quidditch so he hadn't been around it much growing up.

And then he'd gotten an owl about an Enlarged rabbit running around the countryside, so he'd had to go out and catch it, which had taken hours around dawn. Not to mention he'd gotten filthy in the process. A shower and a strong mug of tea later, he was at The Bestiary, wishing he had more reliable help so he could nap for a couple of hours.

He hid a yawn with one long-fingered hand and started to make rounds again, visiting all the animals and paying specific attention to their individual needs.

"Oh, poor thing." Neville said to both Rolf and Adonis at the same time. Grinning, he looked at Rolf. "I can promise you he'll never be this messed up again. "Hey," He told Donny. "Wanna come over to my place? We have a really, really big yard. I'm sure you'll like it. And we have flowers and a garden. Lots of sun and lots of shade." It would be perfect for Adonis.

"I'm no seer but I can see that already, I think. I do believe he's been raised in a magical environment, though he's never done anything overtly magical. Like most animals inside and outside of it though he is aware of spells and such." Animals always seemed to see the uncanny. "I think he'll find himself perfectly at home with you." Rolf grabbed the leash hanging outside thr pen and handed it to Neville. "He is mostly leash trained though like most he can be distracted on occassion. If you'll lead him to the front I can get you the basic supplies you'll need and we can look at the birds as well."

"Oh, perfect. At least he's not gonna freak out." He said with a chuckle. Even though it was just the two of them, Neville and Augusta tended to use a lot of magic to do things around the house.

"He'll love the gardens. I have singing plums trees and magical morning glories." They tended to have the best harmonies in the morning, which usually set off the plums into vocals.

Neville took the leash and opened the pen, allowing Adonis to come to him, waggling his tail. He was clearly excited. He clipped the leash on the collar to bring him to the front. "Come on, Donny." He called for him to follow, which he promptly did.

"Oh, I bet that's lovely to listen to in the mornings," Rolf said. He'd seen a lot of things in his travels and here and home, and while plants were not his specialty, he'd run into the combination before. It was one to remember.

Rolf followed them a trifle more slowly, in part to disguise his hurts. He was smiling, though, for very little felt better to him than finding a home for an animal that actually needed one. He picked things up from a few shelves as he went, and he'd summon the large bag of dog food in a few. Not that he couldn't carry it, but he'd rather not test out his leg right now.

He set those things on the counter and went off to the side, to the birds. "This was the bird I was thinking of for your grandmother," he said, bringing the cage over. The crimson-bellied conure looked at them inquisitively.

	Neville's eyes grew wide when Rolf brought the bird out. "Oh.. Oh that's perfect." He said, his initial stunned expression cracking up into a grin. He hoped his Gran would love it too. The house was so big that he figured Augusta could do with some company. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rolf grinned. Hopefully this was two for two for the day, which would thrill him to no end. He tapped one of his wands on a paper under the counter, and it copied out perfectly. He flipped to another, and did the same thing. "These are your care instructions for both animals," he said. HE summoned a few things for the bird, and set them on the counter. "And I recommend these things, though you of course don't need to purchase them all. It's up to you. I do recommend the food, however," he joked. "If at anytime you have questions or concerns, please ask, and I also ask that I have first take-backs if you can suddenly no longer take care of either of them."
