"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.

See? Ladies do have an affinity for compliments. Most men, or at least most of the men he had met, didn't seem to care about them as much, for some reason. Probably the same reason they don't require several hours to dress to their satisfaction. "Point taken," Jared grinned.

He rather thought Renée's feigned innocence might have come off better, if her eyes had not been holding that mischievous sparkle. As it was, she looked anything but innocent at that moment. "That seems to imply," he said lazily. "That it can be an asset." He could feign all the shock he might but, in the end, he couldn't exactly disagree. Being thick-skinned has its advantages - some even a harmless kind of fun, some running much deeper - and she said as much, half a moment later. Though he couldn't help feeling like there was more to her comment than could be seen on the surface, and he gave her just the faintest look of interest, as if saying so.

And the maybe? "Always a good answer," he said, the teasing tones somewhat returning.

He inclined his head, accepting the fact, her phoenix being a source of inspiration, as a matter of course. "To Anastasia," he said lightly. The menu cards had appeared by the time he set down the goblet. Jared picked one up. "Shall we order?" The conversation, despite the thoughtful pauses that punctuated it every now and then, seemed like it could go on for several days. And not in a bad way.
