That said, Renée and the term 'average person' did not seem like the best of friends, even without considering his own perception of her. She was just a little too intelligent, a little too mischievous, a little too closed for that. Then she had mentioned the Hufflepuff prefect, and he raised a semi-inquiring eyebrow. "Indeed?" He could guess part of the reason behind Treyen's line of thought, but the half-vague, half-enigmatic response seemed bent upon making him ask, even if that wasn't her intention.

He decided not to. There was that skill of filing away questions in one's mind and springing them up when the other least expected them, that he was quite good at. Besides, the topic seemed far less interesting, considering her next statement. Not to mention, the fact that she had laughed. It gave him things to think about. "My, my. I had no idea you had such a flattering opinion of me, Mademoiselle Bishop." His grin was even lazier than his voice, if that were even possible.

"I don't suppose you'd tell me what sets an understatement apart from an almost-understatement?" Even if it had been a general remark, he couldn't help teasing her. She seemed happier, though, not quite as distracted as she had seemed a moment ago, and he gave her a light smile. "You could always set up wards around the grounds," he offered. To keep students out. "Granted, there's a chance that could get him discovered faster than most other methods, but what's life without a good risk?" Once again, the light teasing. Underneath the teasing tones though, it surprised him that he was giving the matter consideration. Not the setting up wards matter or, at least, not in those terms. But something could be done. Why deprive a pet of some fun, after all?

That, at least, was the reason he'd decided he was considering the thing in the first place.

"I'd imagine they very well might," Renée parried, just as lazily as Jared' had made some of his comments. "Unfortunately, I can't say I see very many 'average people' around." That was more teasing, as she hadn't been able to avoid it. Even if it had unconsciously echoed other thoughts that she was still avoiding finding out about. It was exercising her restraint when it came to her curiosity, that was for sure. His change of expression when it had come to the topic of Treyen and his visits wasn't missed, though she only responded with a light smile. "I have a feeling he's trying to decide career paths, that sort of thing," she idly explained, having the feeling Jared was wondering about that as well. She neglected to mention the fact she was still waiting for the prefect to discover her literary pursuits, but then that wasn't exactly part of the conversation.

Besides, his response to her teasing remark about himself was much more amusing to deal with, right now. She'd laughed again as he spoke. "Some people wouldn't necessarily consider that a compliment, Monsieur Descoteaux," she replied, lightly, returning his manner of speaking. She was always entertained when he went back to that way of referring to herself, even if it seemed that was another way of teasing her, and she felt the need to return the favor. Not to mention his laziness was intriguing her and the facetiousness distracted her from inquiring.

She'd leaned her head against the wall behind them for a moment as he continued speaking, tilting her head to look at him again as his question finished and raising an eyebrow at his question. "I wasn't aware I'd need to," she said idly, smiling a little at the continued teasing. Not to mention his trying to come up with a way Bowie could come out to play. It was kind of sweet, if a bit odd coming from Jared. "I'm sure Chad would love wards being set up in his grounds without his knowledge," she replied, even though the idea amused her. At least, asking for permission might be problematic, given she'd probably need an explanation. Even Jared should understand that, since he actually knew about the dilemma. But she grinned anyhow at his comment about danger. "A lot safer, but I'd imagine it would be less interesting," she replied, tilting her head back straight again for a moment to gaze at the castle.

Until she realized her companion was being quiet again, and she shifted slightly to watch him for a moment before turning back to her perusal of the school in the distance. "What's going through your mind right now?," she asked softly, still looking straight ahead, knowing it would be easier to just try and find out for herself but unable to not ask. There was the likelihood he'd block her anyhow.
