The feigned, playful innocence was amusing, and he laughed, the sound a tad sudden in all the quietude.

It seemed Bowie had decided the laugh was for him, because the crup looked up, eyes all big and excited. Renée's little pet seemed to possess an inexhaustible supply of energy, and missed no chance of letting everyone know of that. Grinning a little, Jared petted the crup. If someone had walked into the observatory right now, the scene they'd have seen might be a surprising one, given that two professors seemed to be having a relaxed conversation at this hour of the night, one of them petting a crup in his lap. "I can't really say," he grinned, in response to her question. He didn't see Renée as the kind of person that opens up, at once or unnecessarily. That said, he didn't think of her as someone who refused to open up at all, either. It all came down to trust and the right time, perhaps. "Would you have?" he asked, turning her question around.

"The ever-famous most," he grinned lazily. Most things not being on the greyer side of the law, said more than it didn't.



Renée found their conversation too entertaining to resort to simple responses. If that was even possible, but it seemed Jared brought that out in her easier than most others. She wondered if he knew that, but still kept prodding her to continue because he found it amusing as well. She grinned at the laugh, however. Even though its arrival made their little conversation less likely to stay discreet. Most people were probably nowhere near the observatory at this hour anyhow, or at least she hoped so. "That could be turned back on a certain Charms professor as well," she replied wryly. Just because the risk was there didn't mean she wasn't about to continue the amusement.

She'd kept an eye on Bowie, though, as her crup seemed to be making himself comfortable in Jared's lap. Well, until the laughter, at which point the wiggling started up again. She smiled as it elicited pets, once again thinking that the kitten would have no trouble winning him over. Not if her crup managed it. The smile turned into more of an enigmatic grin at his response to her question. It seemed their understanding of each other went further than she'd have thought, but that made things no less interesting. Or made her more likely to change. "Perhaps. It seems we may never find out," she teased, shifting her position on the floor a little. Stone floors were never too comfortable.

As he continued, though, she grinned yet again, before finding her gaze going to the view outside the tower for a moment. "It truly does seem ever-present," she said, feigned thoughtfulness in her tone. At least, most seemed rather ubiquitous when one remained a bit of a mystery. She couldn't quite decide how long they'd been talking from the sky, but then that was why she'd never considered astronomy one of her better subjects. They probably should head down rather soon, anyhow. The attempts at staying quiet seemed to have failed already a little, so if they let time get away from them that would only be made worse.
