[feels a bit defensive like this person doesn't think he's handling the situation the best he can, so takes on a more formal tone]

I talk with her, make sure to project my emotions for where she can't understand what I'm saying, being that she can read auras. I try to make peaceful, positive activities for them, to develop a more coexisting relationship. She sometimes gets timeouts in her ball when she's particularly bad, which she doesn't like at all. I make sure to give her positive attention when she's being good and tolerant toward him.

I do think... getting Poppins to be more 'efficient' will make her warm up to him, I get the feeling she thinks he's useless and that's why she tries to drive him away.
