And she didn't mind. Being a hands on learner, it was the sort of thing she could definitely get behind.

Risks also kept the experiments interesting, no denying that.

And she would definitely show him a non-dangerous dragon one day. It would take time and research and a whole lot of help from those who've studied them and work with them but she didn't think it was impossible. There weren't many things she considered impossible.

Then they got to talking about Ash and suddenly the Ravenclaw found her brows creasing in nothing shy of horror and confusion. Yes, she understood perfectly what he was saying and naturally would have to accept it without question--because it was his Phoenix and not hers--but that wasn't the part that twisted her features until they resembled that of someone completely stunned and even a little scandalized.

"Do you honestly think I would?" Her voice was faint, only just audible and no more. Jessa had never been a rule breaker, nor had she been a very willful child when it came to the requests of others.....but apparently the Professor had another perception of her? Merlin he must have thought her an absolute monster to think she would go behind his back and feed a phoenix something his master had told her not to. A delinquent. That day in the bathroom must have had him thinking the worst of her--even worse than she thought!

Slowly Jessa slipped off her seat, not sure what to really think anymore. "I'm.....very big on consent when it can be given....if you told me not to....he's your phoenix. I'd have to accept it. I'm not naive enough to think every experiment will work, I know there are roadblocks and I adjust accordingly." Which in this case meant shelfing it until another opportunity somewhere else presented itself. "I'm sorry you think so ill of me, Professor." Her tone took on one that was eerily polite, detached almost. "Thank you for taking the time to listen anyhow. I've...got homework." And should really be going.

Tristan could see how she would think that, but he himself, as usual, was quite the opposite. "For most people, yes. I, however, tend to take more risks with more knowledge. But...again. That is just me." He gave her a small grin.

As she spoke...he could see he had hurt her feelings, which wasn't his intention. "Of course not, Jessa....," though it had crossed his mind that she might do that. Oops.

Tristan sighed. He felt horrible for making her feel that way. Though he had to admit first impressions meant a lot to him, and she hadn't made a good one that day in the restroom. "I'm sorry Jessa. I didn't mean to insinuate that you would do something like that. I just know there are a lot of students that would do something like that." And had actually. But that was a story for another day. "Please, forgive me. After talking to you today, I know you are just a very intelligent, and curious girl, and I so appreciate that." He felt horrible for making her feel bad. "Anytime you need to chat or have questions about anything. My door is always open." He said with a small smile. He didn't want her to think he had any ill feelings towards her.

He stood, "Don't forget. Clean the horse stalls for a week and you will get those points back!" He smiled, still feeling guilty for what he had said.
