She'd let him have the thought, however, because it was still fun to feel like she could get him to relax and be amused like this. Him thinking she was that literal at least for now didn't bother her in the long run, and actually only gave her more openings to surprise him later.

But then their conversation had gone to the long-standing challenge of Divination and teaching him, and she chose to murmur her order to her plate before replying. She didn't want to get too distracted and forget what she'd finally decided on for her meal, at least. Once that was taken care of, she looked back up at him with another smile. "Dinner is only an opportune time if we were discussing food-based divination," she pointed out, before laughing at the renewed challenge. "You're deceived if you even entertain the thought she'd back down that easily." It was oddly amusing referring to herself in the third person, especially when that was as oblique as it was turning out to be. He'd been the first to do so, however, so she was willing to keep the charade up.

"I haven't forgotten," she said lightly, glancing down as she noticed her food had appeared as the menu had told. She hadn't exactly been trying to emphasize differences, or prove her knowledge. It had just been an idle comment, and she smiled as he spoke lazily. Picking up the first bit of ood from her plate, she regarded him for a moment. "I'd imagine that certain person could say there are some thing you know better as well," she responded, before applying herself to the first bite. The food was definitely better than she'd expected, but then the entire night was quite nice. Unexpected, really.

"If it's hypothetical lists that are under consideration, I suppose you have a right to be," Jared said, smile light. That did seem to mean unexpected focus, all things considered.

He transferred his attention to the table, for a brief half-second, as a pause in the conversation occurred and lingered, and the table in question re-set itself; looking back up at her as she spoke again. "Fantastic how Divination doesn't seem to let any time be an inopportune one," he said, a teasing touch slipping back into his tones. Hard to let go of it around Renée, really. Not that he minded. And it seemed there was a level of Divination that could be discussed even now, though Jared doubted the food itself might appreciate it being subjected to it. Not that he had any idea how any type of food-based Divination occurred. If 'occurred' was even the word.

"Does that mean she has decided to subject this dinner to some of her skills?" he asked, grinning at her next remark. He hadn't though she might back down from the challenge of sorts, just as he didn't think she had decided to make the dinner an object of her Divination skills after all, but teasing her hadn't lost its appeal yet. Nor, apparently, had referring to Renée in the third person. Especially since he had, after a fashion, gotten her to do it herself.

"I'd hope it isn't just your imagination," Jared said, a mischievous grin flickering across his features as he spoke, before directing his attention, at long last, to the food that had appeared.
