Text Cut: Jared the carrot once had a pet ferret? XD

That was why he had said what he had said. Maria raised her eyebrows, half-amused, as she said, "Looks like we've come far from that meeting." The woman remembered, all too clearly, the level of rudeness and un-professionalism that had passed between them. "What makes you so sure of that?" Of course she wasn't planning on taking it back.

Huh. Will you look at that. Jared really was in love with these magical creatures, wasn't he? It was amusing and the woman would laugh if she knew that it wouldn't offend the man. But there was every chance that it would so she kept quiet. Besides, there was something nice about hearing someone go on and on about something they were passionate about. "Are you telling me that when you've been away for months on end without even dropping an owl," Still a tiny bit mad about that, FYI. "You've been partying with the merpeople?" Maybe partying wasn't the right word but she couldn't help it. Many people enjoyed learning about them. Huh. "It sounds like someone's been making a lot of friends." She was happy for him. Really. Couldn't you tell behind her smirk? "I'd like that. It'd make an interesting change. I hardly know what you do, you know."

Yes, that was bad, Jared Cattermole. Shame on you.

Maria nodded along as she reached over and grabbed a piece of fudge. "I only choose the best." Wink. Jared didn't need to know that she hadn't actually chosen this intern. "I have no idea. Maybe she's looking into bookkeeping or something similar and thought working in the UK will boost her profile." She shrugged before chewing off a bit of the fudge.

That. Smirk. He really was being both amusing and annoying, wasn't he? Stupid adorable Jared. But then he was asking the all important question and her cheeks flushed once more. Be. COOL, Maria. "Only if you promise not to run off with a mermaid. Because I WILL gift you a screaming book." But she smiled to show that she was joking.

And that's your yes, by the way Cattermole.

And if she did, he miight take what he said back as well. Hmmmm... nah, he wouldn't. Jared smiled when Maria said the merpeople had had a big effect on him. "They most certainly did." He would tell her he'd rather spend his time with merpeople rather than regular people, but that would be an inappropriate time, in his opinion, so he kept quiet about that. "I think you will only understand how amazing those beings are when you learn more about their culture and, if possible, get to spend time with them." And the fact many people didn't appreciate merpeople really annoyed him. *"They are fascinating and there are* many people that enjoy learning about them." He explained. Jared had stopped eating when the subject changed to merpeople. He could easily go on about them the whole day! "You know, you could come with me one day to see what my job's like." He grinned at her, before finally popping another crystalised pinapple into his mouth. Was it bad that Jared was glad he had annoyed her a bit? Well, he was. Oh, that was what the intern was doing? Looking after the entire shop while Maria was there with him? "Wow, that's a good intern that you've got." He was impressed. "Is she planning to move to the UK after finishing school?" Why else would a French girl want to do an internship in Diagon Alley? Jared smirked triumphantly as he still watched the pond. He changed his smirk to a grin and turned so that his eyes would meet hers. "Not at all. So you are my girlfriend now?" He asked in his casual tone, but the look in his eyes was an intense one. That was why he had said what he had said. Maria raised her eyebrows, half-amused, as she said, "Looks like we've come far from that meeting."
