She eyed the snacks on the cloth curiously before glancing over at the man. "Bet it's doing wonders for your ego knowing that a woman dressed up for you," Teasing was being returned because this was their, er, friendship? Merlin, were they even friends if they're going on a date? "You're welcome," SNORT. "Don't let it get to your head, Cattermole. You don't look half bad usually." Today was just a special day, which called for special compliments.
It was nice to hear him laughing. Strange that he had decided to bring up the topic of the weather but the laugh was appreciated. "I guess that's fair. Mind you, I don't think I'd have been impressed if you picked a day that was horrible." Or she'd have been exasperated at the weather. Not Jared's fault. His next comment, though? Not only did it make her blush yet again but she also couldn't help raising her eyebrows at him. "You sure know how to compliment a woman."
Her funny side. The shopkeeper was full on smiling at this point. "Maybe you'll see more of it, then." To remind him, and to probably make him laugh more. "What are you going to do if another man sends me pansies?" she asked, returning his smirk with one of her own. Whatever this was, she did like it, but she was curious. Especially since she didn't peg Jared to be this kind of man.
Maria nodded, tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear. Perfectly fine? "Happy to hear that," Especially the part about not complaining about being here with her. Though, he had been the one to ask her out. "Thank you for all of this, by the way. It's very sweet of you." More compliments. Jeez, this really wasn't like her. Jared gave a playful smirk at her redness. Muehehehe, that's riight. He liked that he made her blush like that. Achievement.
Merlin, he honestly didn't know this side of Maria. She was actually a very funny lady. And knowing a woman dressed up for him did indeed wonders for his ego. He snorted at her remark and didn't say anything. Jared could say a thing or two about that, but he prefered not to push it. So a half-smirk, half-smile was what she got for that one. He laughed at the other comment as well. Not half bad usually, eh? "You're very funny." He said when he was done laughing. "It's a quality, you know."
As Maria went on about his weather comment, he got a cauldron cake and took a bite. Since he had his mouth full, a smile was all she got as a reply at first. "We're lucky that it is summer." British summer, but summer nonetheless. "Besides, if it started raining, it would give us many different options as well." He added stopping half-way to bringing the cauldron cake to his mouth again. "What is creativity for?" Wink. And he knew how to compliment a woman? Haaaah. Of course he did. "It is easy when they have so many good traits." You know. Hah. There he went again.
But come on, she did have a nice smile, he had to admit. "I'll be happy to." See more of her funny side, that was. He faked a serious face when she asked the question. "I will inquire about they intentions. They probably wouldn't know half the meaning of those flowers and that would be outrageous! So I would have to let them know what they are about and why I am the only one who can give you those." Simple, eh? He thought so. And he was actually willing to do that if necessary. If there was anyone who knew about meanings, it was Jared Cattermole. "What about you? How's everything in your world? Or should I say your shop?" He teased her with a smirk. Wasn't her shop her world? Until now, of course, muehehehe. "You are most welcome, my lady. You deserve all this and more." Wink.
