Personally, Olivia felt the professor wasn't understanding what she'd said at all. "Sir, I didn't mean constantly in that way. Obviously it would have years of life in between it's rebirth and burning day." Obviously. These creatures were real, living beings and not like one of those muggle gifs that replayed in seconds. Perhaps her wording had been off. Words could be difficult for her at times. "I meant it's cruel to have to live through so many rebirths and burning days. Sure, they may hardly notice as it's their way of life...but I suppose the only way I can properly explain what I mean is with a comparison." Guh, WORDS... "If this were to happen in the human respect, it would be a painful life cycle to repeat. We would have to go through the process of being an infant, and then living through puberty, and then to adult, and finally to being an elderly individual. With creaky joints, disease, sickness... You know what I mean?" Olivia hadn't meant to ramble or seem rude, but she'd gotten into this discussion, and it was important to her that he see her point. She was painfully Gryffindor, okay? This mentality couldn't be helped. "Having to relive 'life' and remembering all the times that had come before...would be an overwhelming responsibility."... And cruel.

Okay, she was shutting up now. Thank you, Professor Wayland, for hearing us out.

Right... so about this mini activity...

Burying her face down into her notebook, because she hadn't meant to seem reproachful of the professor, Olivia wrote out a few things...before taking a full gander at the provided photographs. Did everyone else see photograph 5? How PAINFUL...did that look? The Gryffindor found herself greatly saddened by the diminished state of the phoenix pictured. It was frail and suffering. Sure, this creature was used to reliving it's life cycle, but it hurt her heart to have to see it in that way; so plainly photographed there for their educational purposes. Poor thing. No, she wanted to see them as they were in photograph 4; full of life and vitality. Beautiful and majestic.

She also found her desire for meat and poultry greatly lessened... There would be some looking into the vegan thing after class. Were any of the current professors vegan? Would she be able to reach out to someone for more information?
