"In fact, the implication has its point. being thick-skinned is occasionally an asset, but a person needs to know when they can let those walls down as well," she replied, almost feeling like she'd ventured into yet another topic altogether. That was a strange feeling, and the look on his face seemed to relay that he'd had a similar feeling about it all. It seemed that was going to be another idea that would remain unsaid for now, though, as she was relieved when he went back to the teasing.

"That's why it always shows up eventually," she teased back with another smile, before raising her glass again. "To Anastasia," she echoed, before taking a sip from her drink. Eyes flickering downward, she smiled around the edge of the glass as she saw the Leaky had been efficient yet again. Either that or they really wanted the two of them to leave, but she had a feeling that wasn't the intent. Efficency had its place, that was for sure. "We may as well," she said, looking back up at him as he spoke. They could always continue their conversation while they ate.

True enough. Jared nodded. He had a feeling that, should this topic be pursued, it might lead to some dead-ends or, at least, secretive corners. He doubted either of them had come here to discuss secrets, though, and so he left it at that, at the nod. Once again, a definite unwillingness to pry, at least in such a matter as this.

The sudden change in the mood, courtesy her teasing response about maybe's showing up eventually, made Jared laugh. "That tops today's list of clever comebacks by a certain person," he teased back. "And speaking of this certain person, she has yet to teach me Divination." He hadn't forgotten about that, and now seemed like as a good time as any to discuss her subject and the possibility of him ever coming to terms with it. In more than one way, actually. Though that thought, like a sudden breeze, left as soon as it came.

Giving her a light nod, Jared picked up one of the menus. "This seems like a refined form of self service," he grinned, as he looked down at it, the fine print detailing one had to read out the name of a dish, for it to appear. How the table set itself, items shifting smoothly on their own, was actually impressive spell-work. Then again, he hadn't expected less than impressive spell-work from the place, so he couldn't say it came across as a surprise. Even if it did differ from that apparent in French restaurants.
