It seemed she had taken to exploring the observatory and, his own attention being divided between her and the crup, that was fine.
"Is he spoiled?" His lips quirked into a smile at her statement. Renée didn't seem the pet-spoiling type though, with a pet as adorable as Bowie, one could never say. Speaking of pets... "Would it interest you to know Ellie has forced me to -" Keep? No, not keep. Keep didn't express half of it. "- adopt a kitten?" Not that he could have gotten rid of that kitten anyway, at least not without resorting to magic. It [her, he reminded herself. He needed to stop referring to the feline as an it] seemed to have made following him around, the sole purpose of its [her] life.
Her feigned incomprehension wasn't exactly hard to see through. The crup, oblivious to the situation, continued to wag its tail. Jared looked down at Bowie, for a moment. "This," he said, a bit of amusement still lingering in his eyes. The fact that the whole thing didn't adhere to the rules and regulations in place didn't bother him. He hadn't always stuck to the right side of the law, after all. But that Renée had done it, did surprise him. Though, now that he thought of it, it seemed like the kind of thing she'd do.
Even in her wandering, Renée had noticed Jared's nonverbal response to her contiuing their teasing. And to be honest, she hadn't really expected much less. Once it got to a certain point, the topic almost had to dissolve into silence. It was definitely an amused silence, but silence nonetheless. Not to mention, she'd been able to tell the silence wasn't uneasy or offended. Just understanding, or the amusement factor if nothing less. But as he paid attention to her cruppy, she continued her exploration of the tower. It was amazing how the castle had both stayed the same over the years, and yet changed noticeably. or maybe it was just her that had changed.
Another wry grin met his question, however, as she leaned against the wall to regard them both. Bowie seemed just this side of ecstatic, but then sometimes she thought the cruppy knew he was being discussed. It was just a look in his eyes. "That would depend on your definition," she said idly. She didn't personally think she spoiled her pets, but then it was entirely possible she was too close to the situation to accurately tell. And a soft laugh escaped her at the next revelation. "I can't say it would surprise me. Ellie is, well, determined. She sets her mind on something, it's hard not to cave." Well, except for in her own case, but there were some things the Ravenclaw couldn't really influence. She still had plans of ttrying to break through that wall, though. "Will I ever get the chance to meet the new addition?," she added, still smiling. The thought of Jared with a little tiny kitten was just too adorable, yet amusing, for words. Not to mention fascinating.
The distraction of the kitty didn't last long, however, and she moved closer as the conversation inexorably led toward her admitting to what she'd done. She had a feeling he was both surprised and yet accepting, which was the only reason she was contemplating admitting her failure to comply with every little law out there. As he'd looked back down at her cruppy, though, she shrugged before kneeling down facing him and letting the creature in question scramble up into her lap. "Could you intentionally mutilate a poor innocent baby creature?," she replied, admitting it while not explicitly saying anything. At least her bending of the rules didn't break the statute, as she was diligent in keeping the charm up when Bowie was around anyone other than just herself.
