In comparison to others, and some adults even, she was quite mature for her age, an old soul. In her opinion, that was what mattered most, or should have mattered, at the end of the day.

Funnily enough, the possibility of them getting into trouble if they brought a creature of some sort home with them was a thought that vanished just as quickly as it popped into her mind. There wasn't a time when she and her brother got into trouble. Receiving the look and a reprimand here and there, yes, but never anything more extreme than that. She was very aware that they could be hard to say no to. She could be rather persuasive, and Drake had his charm.

"I don't think she'd say no. Though I do think she'd appreciate a conversation before we show up with a critter," Gillyweed replied rationally. "But looking at our options would be a good start. Better to go in as a unified force and have a plan of action." As for getting a kneazle versus a cruppy, she shrugged. "Both have their pros and cons."

He supposed it did matter how Gil felt, but one thing he didn't think he'd ever agree with her on (a rarity yet also consistent on this particular point) was her desire to be taken more seriously at such a young age. They weren't even Hogwarts students yet, and yet Gil was so scholarly and thoughtful. Drake was far happier to just exist in the same space as his favorite people and enjoy life as each day came. Focusing on questions or expanding his knowledge or life experiences was just not something the 10 year old was interested in.

Besides, why would he need to be scholarly anyways when he had his sister who could probably explain anything to him?

It was unfortunate for their mother that they were such a good pairing together. Though, if he were to hazard a guess he'd probably say that she liked that they were - considering how often they used that to their advantage and worked together. At the end of the day, wasn't that what a parent wanted? "I'm sure she would. But do we want to risk it? Because if she does say no it's pretty much over. We can't really go out and just get a creature after we know the answer for sure." But still, his sister was not wrong that a plan was better than none. "What creature would you want to get?"
