Amelia was never one to preen (regardless of her animagus form and her choice of career working with winged creatures and the like), however she did smile glowingly at Mr. Holm's compliment. "It certainly is wonderful for me!" she chirped, laughing.
As for Marian....Amelia pondered the solution. Normally she didn't mind Pascal or Penny roaming loose since they knew not to go into the enclosures. It was clear, however, that the not-so-little cat had other endeavors as she watched her writhe in Mr. Holm's arms. "It might be best to keep her close." She responded, wondering if there was another way to restrain Marian. She wasn't fond of casting binding spells on animals; it felt too controlling. But she would feel even worse to have the cat were to have an accident involving one of their animals. "I don't think she would be in much danger, but I would hate to be wrong if there was even the slimmest chance."
The witch raised her multicolored eyes back up to Mr. Holm. "Do you have a sort of spell to keep her close when you need to?" Perhaps casting an invisible barrier around Mr. Holm might keep the animal inside a certain distance without having to restrain her physically.
