She just ... opted not to follow his advice sometimes or a lot of times when she didn't want to. Cooper had good advice, usually, but good advice didn't necessarily equate to advice one wanted to take. And usually when Kins made her decisions, she felt really strongly about them. So it was hard to deter her from her path once she was set on it. But even then, there had been a lot of good growth.

(But if they could veer away from advice today, that'd be awesome.)

She watched as her Ravenclaw and his abraxan existed together in harmony. It was kind of nice if you forgot about all the gross smells. "Look at how hungry he is!" This, felt like a good indication that he was being starved. As it was, Care of Magical Creatures was not a subject Kinsay prevailed in on a practical level. The theory was easy. The practice? Not so much.

He had long surrendered to the fact that he was not one of the people she put at the top of list of voices she followed, though sometimes he did not feel this was a bad thing considering the advice and people she did (or used to) follow she had done so blindly and their voice overpowering his little cousin's. Cooper had never been the sort to have the dominant voice. Rather than a summer heat wave, his voice was more like a crisp fall breeze or the gentle warmth of a spring one. He had been writing a lot of epic poems recently - his go-to for approaching History of Magic assignments especially - so such flowery imagery was much more commonplace.

In any case...he had reserved himself to not having his advice taken and simply being an option, which lead to its own quiet frustrations and itched his insecurities.

"Apollo is quite healthy, as are all his hooved companions," he chuckled while scratching the top of the abraxan's head just between his ears and tossed his mane around just a bit. "Hand me one of those hoof picks from the wall, will you? Please?" He patted Apollo's neck and set the now empty bucket down before slipping into to the stall along side the very handsome beast. "You want to learn the ropes a bit more or...just watch?"
