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?"

She was getting better about that too. Slow progress, but progress all the same. Especially since this term began. She had thought she would be lost at Hogwarts this term, without Phoebe, but it had turned out to be just the opposite (despite her willingness to admit to it, at the moment). Of course, plenty of mistakes were being made (many, many mistakes) and it was a lot of trial and error (sometimes more error than trial), but at least she was finally listening to herself along the way. Mistakes that were results of her own choices, rather than the choices others wanted for her.

She still had a lot to figure out. That much was obvious... But maybe, with time, she would come to learn that she could figure it out.

"I'll have to take your word for it," she decided, offering Cooper the tiniest smile in concession as she moved to grab a hoof pick from the wall. "I'll help." She likely wouldn't come down here on her own next term, but spending all the time with Cooper while he was here felt absolutely necessary. She didn't want to take even a minute of it for granted. And so, she slipped into the stall behind him with the hoof pick in hand. "Do you think animals understand us when we talk to them? She was sure that Jimothy did, but she wanted that sweet confirmation.
