Richard smiled when the girl recognized him. He eyed her a bit before pushing his school bag away with a foot and sitting down on the mat. Of course, at first he was not happy about the fact that he needed to sit in this 'lotus' position as it looked ridiculous, very ridiculous. But when he did it, he realised that it was not so bad at all. At least he felt comfortable and since everyone was in the same position no one could laugh at him. If one dared to laugh at him, anyway, Rich would so hex their head off so he was safe.

Sitting in this lotus positiom, the boy silently listened to the professor woman even though he really was feeling like interacting with the Ravenclaw girl he was sitting next to as his curiosity about what this class was going to be about was stronger than the urge to flirt her. This was an important topic anyway and the boy was glad when it turned out that the class was really about what it was supposed to be about. And, to be honest, the way the woman thought impressed him pretty much. What she had asked them to do about their thoughts was not only interesting but also very smart.

When she asked the last question, Rich thought over it a bit even though he very well knew the answer for the question. He was not supposed to say what he had thought first, after all. He was thinking that he was supposed to protect himself from what would cause him a loss in a way, physically, mentally, emotionally...a loss in any way. He pushed the idea away into a corner in his mind before thinking of a new one to speak out.

''What about 'the unknown', professor?'' he finally said ''People are afraid of the unknown. And we cannot know if they are dangerous as, well, it is unknown. Defending ourselves from the unknown is a smart thing to do. If you know enough about an extremely dangerous thing, you can easily defend yourself against it.''
