Strengths and weaknesses. Heh. Sure. It just seemed like Simon had more strengths than she did. She would never complain about that though.. the very thought of complaining just seemed silly to her. "Yeah, I would ask him for help but I don't wish to disturb him." Or admit that she needed help. "I am working in a study group though."

Olivia nodded, remaining silent as she listened fo Professor Newton speak about Peeves and his potential feelings. It made sense to her too that he'd be torn. She wasn't one to comfortably go up and ask the Poltergeist how he was with everything... especially since her last encounter with him had earned her a broken wrist, bruises, and leeches stuck to her. Gah. She shivered at that thought. Whenever she thought of the situation, she could swear that she felt the leeches stuck on her neck. "I could see that. I overheard Miffy asking Peeves why he didn't pay attention to Storm," she added with a small frown.

Not wanting to disturb someone was something that Rosalyn knew very well; she herself had felt that way several times throughout life - as did most people. It was a silly thing to feel, but completely natural. Besides, emotions could be silly in general. "I understand that, but I am sure that he wouldn't see it that way. He seems to love teaching, and I don't think he would feel that his little sister was disturbing him. I'm sure that it would make him happy." That she would want him to help her. Of course it was up to Olivia as far as if she actually DID, but there was nothing wrong with sharing an opinion. "Well, that's great! Are you feeling confident about your OWLs?" A lot of students didn't, but then there were quite a few who did. And a study group definitely helped with exams and classes in general.

Rosalyn wondered what was up with the shiver from Olivia, but felt that it wasn't her place to ask; clearly the girl was completely fine. "It's weird to think of them as beings with complex emotions. Usually they come across as only caring about causing mischief. Well, that seems to be what Peeves is about on the most part these days." Head shake. He was back to his old self now that he was once again the only poltergeist in the castle.
