"I'm guessing the latter." Hah. "Mind telling me your name, sir?" A small smile played across her lips.

"Much as I'd like to tell you it's the former, I'm afraid it's not." She had an easy smile, nothing forced about it, at least not right now, and Jared lightly returned it. "Jared Descoteaux at your service, madame." He grinned and half-bowed his head, the action carrying his customary touch of natural elegance, eyes full of good-natured humour because, frankly, being called 'sir' by a colleague sounded refreshingly strange.

She reached in her bag and pulled out a purple coffee cup full of various colors of licorice wands wrapped in clear plastic. "I love love love licorice wands so I put together a coffee cup of different flavors of licorice wands for each one of you to start the year off great." she thought she saw one of their faces squash when she said purple coffee cups. "O and if purple isn't your fave color, no worries...the cups are enchanted to change to your fave color when you touch them." she said with a little nod

.

First cookies, and now licorice wands. Jared, who had not done for a long, long time, something as foolish as consuming - without testing - an edible item he had accepted from a complete stranger, had to ask himself if it was safe to try any of the things being offered. Sure, these kids were students, but then Tom Riddle had been a student that one time he had gotten away with opening the Chamber of Secrets.

Colours? It surprised Jared that the student had been worrying about colours. He'd be more concerned about the contents, and if they could change into chocolate if one did not like licorice. He half-smiled, before turning to the student. "That's thoughtful of you, Miss... ?"

It seemd the Charms professor was even more interesting than their conversation was revealing, but then she imagined he could say the same about her. She smiled a little at his almost-apology for his bias, however. "It's no problem. I guess you could say I'm the same way, a little." Different, though. since she had a connection to more than one location. It seemed Hogwarts was one of her biggest.

"It certainly is. One day I think I'm going to go back," she said idly as he continued to reveal his bias for France. It didn't bother her in the least, as it just added a layer to the man. If she really wanted to learn about him, that was. Time would tell, as emotions seemed to be heightened by the excitement of the start of term. And at that point she caught the smile of the Arthmancy professor from beyond Jared, and she returned it with one of her own. She'd have to talk to her a bit later.

She laughed as he seemed to be turning down her suggestion for help in Divination. "That just makes it sound like a challenge. I think you'd find it takes a lot to get me frustrated," she replied, before shrugging a little at his self-deprecation. "It's possible. Or maybe you just need practice," she said. "Or it does." She still didn't think a so-called Inner Eye was inherent to developing a skill in Divination. At least, not so much with the forms she knew well. "Something like that. I'd imagine it's not much different than other metal abilities, really, just channeled in a different way." And they'd both know about what she was talking about now, even if they weren't admitting it.

Could he, now? Jared's green eyes asked as much. He supposed every person could be biased now and then, and no harm come of it. Feeling it unnecessary to further broach the subject, he let it drop easily, only nodding in acknowledgement of Renée's statement.

"That sounds wonderful. If I happen to be in France at that time -" he highly doubted that and the thought displeased him because, of course, it reminded him how less often he stayed in France now - "It'd be a pleasure to show you around." It was the polite thing to say but Jared couldn't consider it just a formality since it was a pleasure to show off one's real home. "Supposing, of course, that that's okay with you." He gave her a good-natured little smile as he momentarily returned his attention to his food.

"That's something we have in common, then." Lazy grin. It frustrated a lot of the people he knew, how little frustrated him. Then again, the things that did frustrate him, frustrated him pretty terribly. Injustice. Discrimination. He shook the thoughts off. "At any rate, I suppose no harm can come out of giving it a try." Channelled differently... Jared thought about that, and then smiled ever so slightly. "If you look at it from that perspective, it makes a lot of sense." He sounded faintly surprised at his own statement because he'd never thought of Divination like that before.
