He rather agreed with the latter part of her statement. The very unlucky. Never landing into conflicts could become exhausting, after a fashion. But Jared figured she knew that, already. His basic thoughts on matters like these had never exactly been hard to predict. Constancy means stagnation, at least in most cases. There have always, of course, been exceptions to that rule. He nodded, before grinning at her next remark. "You're not saying that being thick-skinned is an asset, are you?" he asked, giving the question a mock shocked tone. Her response to his remark about secrets, sort of secrets at least, made his expression change into an amused one. "And I'd imagine that's a good way to evade a straight answer," he said, not missing that she had done exactly that - evaded a direct response. "And what way might that be?" Jared asked, his teasing tones a result of the mischievous look his question had been met with. The response her teasing question received amused Renée even more. As well as oddly flattered, again. It was getting quite interesting, but for now she was going to attribute it all to the location. For all she knew, things would go back to normal once the holidays were over and they were back at Hogwarts. "It's a cliché, but that doesn't mean a girl wouldn't like to hear it," she replied, grinning back at Jared. It was hard to completely let go of the facetiousness, no matter how strange moments had been. "And no. I wouldn't expect a response, especially as I'm fairly certain of what it would be."
It seemed their conversation had lapsed slightly, or at least there had been another thoughtful pause after her introduction of luck into the mix. It had been an intriguing idea, but she hadn't expected for it to have made that much impact. She fully believed not having any conflict, even inside a family setting, would be dreadfully dull. Resisting the urge to pry, as he still wasn't talking, she was grateful when he finally grinned and spoke again. That curiosity issue was getting to be a bit irritating, even if she knew the fact he knew about what she could do made things easier. She still was trying not to take advantage of that fact, even as there was the slightest bit of curiosity as to if he'd block her again.
And she acted innocent as he feigned shock at the comment. "An asset? Not necessarily," she replied, impish sparkle coming back into her eyes. "Not being completely open to all emotions can come in useful, though." Like when dealing with death, especially mysterious types. That brought her too close to going back to remembering what had sent her back to New York years ago, preventing her from furthering her travels, however, and she forced herself to think of other things. Like the fact Jared had seemingly picked up on her evasion, which brought another grin to her face. "Maybe." If he kept making it easy for her, shortly she'd have to figure out another way to avoid telling him everything outright, simply out of boredom. It hadn't happened yet.
"Well, nobody can say she hasn't been an inspiration," she replied lightly, as he teased her again about her outfit and Anastasia's influence. It didn't happen often, but she couldn't deny it currently. Not when she knew he knew about the whole situation, whether or not he knew it had been to amuse him anyway. She was still evading out of habit, though. Mischievously, but still habit.
