Their dynamic was quite effortless really, particularly since he was well accustomed to so-called 'ramblings' considering his little brother. Though Cooper preferred to consider them as a 'sharing of enthusiasm' rather than belittle the effort with such a biased word. At the end of the day, weren't we all talking in hopes of finding the right audience?
"Sounds like you come from a real feline friendly family," he mused with a smile. They weren't his favorite but he certainly was far from disliking them as well, especially when they kept their claws to themselves. The little, possible, jab at herself did not go unnoticed either...but with the Branxton boys having a knack for self deprecating humor so it the comment was water off a duck's back and elicited a chuckle instead. It was true that humanity tended to undervalue the minds of those perceived beneath them and it was that hubris that could result in some nasty scratches. "I'm not so sure about there being hairless kneazles, but there certainly are allergy potions to counter any fur allergies that a hopeful owner could take," he nodded thoughtfully. Sure, it wasn't exactly a completely carefree relationship if you had to rely on a brew to get by, but there were options. "I grew up on a loch, so suppose the family pet was a kelpie," he mused, the smile easily reaching his eyes as he reflected upon his upbringing and the homecooked meal from mum waiting for him tomorrow evening.
Both brows rose and he put his paperwork down on the shelf beside them to offer Aurora a little round of applause. "It may not be your best subject but with the proper motivation you will surprise yourself," he encouraged - and, clearly, the little Ravenclaw had grown and realized some untapped potential during this assignment. His own project, had there been one during the terms he took Potions, would have likely been a new film developing solution. If there was a way he could develop film on the fly and not require a dark room...that would be rather nifty. But then again, there was charm in doing things the more traditional way and if a method was not broke then there really was no need to fix it. And besides, he was nearly don't with the renovations of one of the closets in his and Olivia's flat that would give him his own little dark room and it would be a shame to waste all that effort.
