Glancing up and spotting Milo arrive, Cooper figured Mercer would be along soon with the third member of their eaglet trio. His heart smiled thinking about it, how easily Mercer had found people here and had a group of friends to build upon. It was during his little glance of the room that he spotted Kinsay enter and softly returned the smile, his stomach knotting somewhat, while watching her find a seat in the back. "Oh, hello, Ashley," Cooper smiled a little more obviously while his attention turned away from his cousin and back towards the front of the room and the professor herself with the mystery box.
Just in time too since things were getting underway.
Chuckling at the introduction (that was meant to be a joke, right? She was the school's healer, after all), Cooper slouched a bit more in his seat and tapped his left foot against the floor softly. No real rhythm in mind and not really any sort of anxious tick, he was just feeling a bit restless today. The topic of today was, remarkably, one that he had a fair bit of experience on. Well, healing magic in application with creatures that is. His summer work with Celyn's brother on the creature rehabilitation sanctuary run and maintained by him and his girlfriend had really enlightened him in the path of magizoology he could theoretically go down. Certain aspects had been amplified during his time with Monsieur Benoit and a ranch full of abraxan. He had not been able to actually perform any of the healing enchantments, underaged magic and all, but he had watched both Derfael and Chloe perform several dozen charms of varying degrees. Mostly his assistance had been in collecting ingredients required for brewing salves and potions which, thanks to Olivia's tutoring, he had become quite good at.
Not feeling like he had much to offer on this particular topic, the seventh year went out a little on a limb that was on topic if you squinted at it a bit. "Nonna swears by olive oil....lather a little on minor burns and a spoonful a day for healthy living. Spoonful a day keeps the healer away." Italian things. "Also eating white rice with lemon whenever there was a stomach ache in progress."
Neither were really misconceptions, however. Nor even magical. Though, maybe, nonna's twist on the apple a day saying was close enough to being on topic.
