Ah, man, those shoulder pats. They recalled some bittersweet memories, mostly because of Jaddi and all, but Abra smiled at Baldvinsson all the same. It was nice to have his answer acknowledged like that.
Funny, the flying instructor was really not the first person Abra had heard say about how important exercise was, how it benefited physical and mental health. His healer also went on about it a fair amount, but Abra really had all those bases covered. The stairs in school, Quidditch, swimming, maybe he wasn't as active as some, but he definitely felt more than active enough just based on things he did for necessity and for fun. It did make him wonder how different things might be if he did, say, go for a run every morning, but... well, he wasn't going to do that. Sleeping took precedence.
At the next question, Abra waited a while before raising his hand again, because it was one of those questions where he was sort of worried about giving a stupid answer. In fact, most questions that started with 'Why do you think...?' made him feel that way.
"I think maybe it helps you measure your progress. Also, sometimes it feels easier to do a thing when you're working towards a goal as opposed to when you're just doing something without an aim." Abra bit his lip uncertainly, then tried for an example. "Like... with swimming. I like swimming laps and seeing if I can do a certain amount of laps in a certain length of time. Sometimes even just counting them keeps me, um... engaged or whatever? But if I'm just swimming backwards and forwards for no reason, with nothing to work at, that can feel mega boring, actually. I end up feeling a bit lost."
