If there was something other than photography that helped calm his spirits, it was tending to the school's abraxan. Eternally grateful that Professor Williamson had encouraged the interest and then Professors Paszek and Amstern continue to nurture it, the seventh year was eager to spend an afternoon here in the barns with them (and every other manner of winged horse as well). The bonus was that he would also get to spend time with his little-not-so-little cousin who, as far as the train ride had indicated, had taken the term therapy animal to a bit of an extreme. It wasn't exactly cow cuddling, but Cooper still found a real benefit to bonding with the winged creatures. Sure, there was the whole boosting oxytocin in the body that arguably arose...but building trust with such majestic creatures was soul nurturing. You really had to listen and be observant and this Ravenclaw felt as though he thrived best when such bonds were made.
Gathering his usual bucket and grooming brush, he made his way towards Apollo's stall where he had agreed to meet Kinsay and whistled while leaning against the gate. "Hey there, buddy," he smiled wide, clicking his tongue in the next moment while wafting a bit of single-malt whiskey mixed with his own handmade blend of carrot juice towards his creature bestie. Chuckling, Apollo seemed as keen to see Cooper as he was the beast, he did his best to hold the bucket stead while the abraxan shoved his muzzle and a good portion of his face into it. "Yeah, I feel you, mate," Cooper nodded while reaching over with his free hand and lovingly caressed Apollo's neck.
