West elaborated, hand up, after catching Loppy's look his way. Y'know. Since she had thoughts about what he'd said and all. So y'know. "And I don't think brave and reckless are the same thing." Because he actually liked Gryffindors. Certain ones and in general y'know? So that was a West being loyal to all of that. Sometimes it was braver to be smart about something though. That was a fair point. And sorta what she meant to say. Ish. He said it better though. Penelope nodded and raised her hand a little again to reply. "True. I guess that's usually what it means, the showing off thing." The phrase at least. Doing that didn't actually make someone a hero. Not a real hero, at least.
And she nodded at that last bit too. Definite agreement there. Bravery and recklessness weren't the same thing at all, though people definitely got them confused a lot. Even some Gryffindors. It was probably why people always assumed it about them. Seemed Alice and Nigel were on the same page about that too.
