She considered his words, before giving a small mischievous smile. "How bad are we rating bad though?" She DID like to throw the occasional prank still, though nothing that would cause physical harm. Being a Dark Witch was nothing to worry about for her - she didn't have the stomach for that. "They are definitely both good. I think for me, plants is better for having thinking time though. And creatures for like... a non-expectant socializing hour." She could hang out with creatures, talk to them, gives pets and pats if they liked that. But she didn't HAVE to keep a conversation going. And creatures didn't expect anything from her, except perhaps a treat here or there. While Aryan might not have known (or maybe he did), being told a snake suited her was perhaps one of the highest compliments. Ve had been obsessed with the reptiles as long as she could remember, and when she'd been finally granted permission to get Sass it had been a dream come true. "I don't need a why. I'm just glad to hear it." She replied, a bright beam. "Not all of us. My Papa actually has a crow, and Vasco has a cat." Which was endlessly amusing to her, though she could never pinpoint why. Giving another thought, she also added, "My Papa's boyfriend has a gerbil, I think, too." Which could be a dangerous mix with their snakes but Ve was very good at making sure Sass was in her enclosure at home. OR safely twined around her arm.

She was surprised by how sure he sounded in his no, and she quietly listened to his further explanation, really THINKING about the words he was saying as he did so. She could see where he was coming from in regards to her having difficulty with adjusting as to being something natural - and she did agree with that. But there was also the fact that delaying changes could just... mean that she never really was forced to come to terms with them. And THAT wasn't an option either. Perhaps it was her stubbornness speaking, but as far as she could see, it was just easier to jump head first into what was coming and she'd flounder her way through things until she found new footing. But because she appreciated how much Aryan was putting consideration into her predicament, and into his words as he talked about it, she couldn't bring herself to dismiss it without giving some more thought. "Maybe you have a point. I probably should just talk to the other people involved." What if she spoke to just Raju? Maybe that would be better. He wouldn't have the same attachment to solely her feelings like Papa might have. But she also didn't know if she was brave enough to do that right now. "Either way. I think you're right - we will both be okay. We just have to give ourselves some grace." She grinned at the young snake.

And it was only then too she could feel a loud rumbling growing in her stomach - a sign that the physical exertion of her earlier running and climbing all the way up here was catching up with her. "I think we might be okay faster if we get some food." She half joked, an attempt to lighten the mood as she grinned at him again. "Want to join me in going back down to the Great Hall?"
