Lilly nodded in agreement before she said "I agree with you there. There are also the people who seek the easy way out of things and end up worse off for their trouble but not just in the intellectual sense. LJ told me some kids in school cheat off of others in order to pass on other people's hard work. A lazy and disgusting practice if you ask me."
Lilly smiled at Procopius as she said "Ollie is lucky to have a friend like you, Procopius. You seem to not only be patient but also understanding of Ollie's needs as a traumatized youth." She then glanced back at Ollie with a sad smile before she said "Shame you two didn't meet much sooner. He would of been happier if he wasn't forced to grow up alone. No one deserves the trauma that brings." Digimon and humans had a variety of types of relationships. Even tamers could have sibling like relationships with their digimon or maybe even paternal ones like with some of the older ones that were teens or more. "Digimon and Humans sure have complex relationships with one another, don't they?" Lilly said out loud. It was more to herself than anything else but if someone said anything she wouldn't mind.

"It's a lack of care that develops when learning becomes a chore. It comes down to bad schooling really, teachers who want students to sit down, shut up and memorize the facts and figures on a board. No attempt to make the information exciting or relevant, no relationship is built between the knowledge and anything the students could actually are about. it just becomes and obligation, an obstacle sitting between the child and whatever they actually care to be doing with their time." Ollie said, sighing. He'd had a lot of really crappy adult relationships in his short life and teachers were more than a few of them. Part of it could be explained by hostility to his "foreign" nature, the majority of it however was just plain bad teaching.
"Big shocker. The man putting together a compendium of an entire other world has some strong opinions on education." Procopius said, giving some dry and snarky humor to the situation. Ollie grinned. It was obviously good for him to have a confidant who would engage with his ideas and make it so he felt heard and seen by someone who actually cared what he had to say about things. "Relationships are trouble in general. Who needs 'em anyway?" Procopius said with another sarcastic glint in his eye, turning his head up in a mock dismissal that made Ollie snort through his giggling.

"All of that is so true and it could explain why my oldest brother, LJ, has issues with paying attention. While there are some good teachers that encourage their students to do their best there is just as likely to be the type of teacher that only cares about a paycheck over the educational potential of the students. It's sad really." Lilly said in agreement with Ollie's observation. There were plenty of students with at least decent potential that didn't reach it due to lousy teachers like this and until now Lilly never thought much about it.
Lilly chuckled at Procopius' snarky statement before she said "If only people with interest in the education would listen to Ollie. He seems to make more sense than some adults I've seen wandering the streets on the way here." Then when the topic flipped to relationships Lilly grinned before she said "I can get how being an introvert that relationships can be confused. Then again I'm an extrovert and don't really understand them. They don't always follow any sense of logic, do they? That and it doesn't seem to matter the type of relationship because they can be just as odd as a Digital World anomaly."

"Speaking of somebody's education..." Procopius said, looking over at Ollie who took a moment to realize what he was talking about and then groaned, throwing his head back and rubbing his hands down his face.
"Oh come on, Procopius, do I have to?" Ollie said, tucking his notes away, his cheeks puffing up as he wrapped his arms in front of his chest and turned away from Procopius.
"What? Do you have to go home so you can get some sleep and go to school tomorrow morning? Yes, Ollie, you have to." Procopius said, putting his proverbial foot down. It was always an odd feeling for him to have to be the responsible one, especially with a kid that seems as innocent and clean cut as Ollie but here he was, keeping the boy on track with his own needs and responsibilities.
"Fine, FINE." Ollie said, groaning again before reaching down and clicking a button on the side of his digivice, Procopius sparkling and vanishing into the machine with the sound of a low tech beeping like an old cellphone ringtone.
"Make sure you stay in touch Lilly, someone's gotta record your rise to superstardom before you forget all about the little people after all!" Procopius said through the bleeping screen as Ollie turned and waved over his shoulder before turning a corner into the crowd and vanishing under the waning afternoon sunlight.

Lilly watched as Ollie began pouting about the prospect of going to school which the magical Guilmon couldn't help but chuckle at the cute sight. However it got even better then when Procopius started putting his foot down on the matter sounding like either a parent or even older sibling even and thats where her chuckle turned into a snort before transforming into a laughing fit. When she recovered she said "Procopius is right. Education is important but I can understand not wanting to learn in the way most humans do. To be honest exploring and seeing things oneself sounds like a more fun way to learn new things."
Procopius disappeared into Ollie's digivice that he arrived in and before the pair turned to leave, Lilly replied "Don't worry. I'll stay in touch. Bye you two." As the tamer and digimon duo vanished from sight Lilly waved and when they were gone Lilly activated her holosuit and began heading out herself seeking her own next adventure.
