Not yet, at any rate.
"De rien." The standard response, for once. He and Renée hardly ever stuck to those, but then, perhaps that was why they got along so well.
"I haven't said it yet," Jared pointed out teasingly as she thanked him once more. She did look it, however, and he expected she already knew that. Couldn't resist the teasing? "You know, that seems like a mutual problem." He smiled, then said more seriously - though still lightly,
"How have your holidays been so far?"
Not much left of them, but he could appreciate the chink in the routine Hogwarts had set.
Renée returned the grin that had accompanied the response she'd gotten from Jared, knowing it meant he had taken it all the way she'd expected. That was one of the reasons they always seemed to get along, she thought. Somehow they were able to read each other, even without her using her particular capabilities. Not to mention she'd figured out enough to be fairly certain he felt standing out was better than the alternative. Excpet when it came to the admirers, as she had a feeling he'd rather not have those. It was too bad they didn't seem to have a say in that, though.
She'd nodded slightly as he resorted to French in response to her thanking him, amused that the mood in the room seemed to make that not as strange. Of course, it wasn't particularly strange anyway, as their first meeting had established his place of origin, making the language not that odd. But she laughed lightly as he spoke again. "Very true. But you wouldn't have asked about the cue if you hadn't thought about saying it," she pointed out, mischievously. If he was going to tease her, she wasn't about to back down. And besides, she was like any other female, liking flattery, however secret she liked to keep that. "It does. We seem to not let it get to us, though," she added with a little grin. Somehow she didn't see an inability to resist teasing each other a hardship.
She leaned back in her seat, however, as he spoke about the holidays. A more serious topic needed a more serious response, however light things still stayed, and she shrugged a little. "They've been lovely. Short, but I've enjoyed them. I was planning on trying to visit my father and brother before we had to get back, but it seems that visit will be rather brief. I got their Christmas gifts sent already, though, so it should work out," she said, completely honestly. Her editor had wanted to know how much she'd gotten ready for publication, so half her time at her flat had been spent with that. Luckily she'd gotten everything ironed out. "How have yours been?"
