Rylee picked up her hot cocoa letting the warm cup help warm her hands for a moment before taking a sip of the wonderful chocolaty goodness. Might as well enjoy her drink while the professor spoke. Creatures. Conjuring. Ethics. Well this was certainly something to think about. Did it even matter what she said? Everyone was surely going to have their own opinions.

Setting her drink down she picked up her quill and started taking down some notes. The differences between a real true creature and one that was conjured was important. Slowly she raised her hand to give an answer. "Well real creatures are just that... real. They eat, drink, sleep and play. They have families, can learn things and feel pain just like us. Conjured ones might look real and feel real to us but they were created by what we wanted in that moment..." Right? At least that's how she had understood it when she had asked her sister about it once before. As for the ethics of it all well... "We can never fully know if a spell works unless it's tried out. I would much rather test out a new spell or a potion or whatever on something I conjured up rather than say my own pet..." Mistakes happened and she wouldn't want anything to happen to her pets, they were family.
