It had been a little too heavy for her delicate stomach, but even she would admit that the sampling of Welsh rarebit she had received the other day had been (for lack of a better word) delicious.

Not taking in her surroundings as she moved, she made a point not to acknowledge Jesus as he sat in his usual pensive position with that curious sheen covering his eyes. Instead she preoccupied herself with wrapping the black scarf in her hand around her neck and moving towards yet another vacant bench a little distance away from the one he sat upon. Which was the only reason she noticed Levi Kenning and the Cassandra engaging in casual conversation.

Rather than engage in conversation with anyone in particular, she elected to engage in a different manner. Flourishing her wand, a blue jet of light shot out of it and enveloped a nearby rock and transfigured it into a labrador that soon went bounding off eagerly towards the Thunderbird. If she was lucky (and the magicked creature able to understand her intent) it would pee on his foot. Just for a bit of foreshadowing, perhaps.

His hand went straight into his pocket, fishing around for a piece of caramel candy (which, he remembered he took one before leaving the Beetle earlier.) After a brief tussle, Jesús found the candy and pulled it out only to drop it on the ground. Not usually clumsy (especially not with candy,) the sixth year picked it off the ground (grateful that it was wrapped) before looking around. While he would never, ever admit to being superstitious, Jesús knew that the only reason why he dropped the small item was because someone was staring at him (or had been, at least.)

It didn't take long, but he found the culprit in the form of Levi Kenning. Blinking at him, Jesús supposed acknowledging Levi was the polite thing to do. So he sent a nod his way in response, before pocketing the caramel again. And, because his life was full of irony, he caught sight of something resembling an animal heading his way. He couldn't comprehend why a random dog was bouncing over too him (and it looked like it had a sense of purpose too,) so he quickly scanned the area until his eyes caught sight of the elusive Valerie Gray. Of course.

It would be her doing, transfiguring something to pester him instead of actually coming over to talk. Jesús quickly stood up (because he refused to let the girl have her way) and brushed past the labrador, not caring if it turned around and followed him or not. As he made his way over to her, he went over how he was going to greet her and what he was going to say after that. He wouldn't sugarcoat anything; getting right to the point would do them both some good. Jesús was 95% confident in his plan to get Valerie to talk openly.

That 95% quickly diminished to a cool 16% once he reached her, though, and his hands went straight into his pockets (he had to do something with them.) Standing near her, he looked at her curiously and before he could stop himself, his mouth was moving. "Don't be difficult," he said rather amiably, the corners of his lips twitching upwards (only briefly.) This was not the approach that he wanted to go for, and he reminded himself of that fact. However, he wasn't really upset with her, he just wanted a few answers. He tugged at his scarf to readjust it. Again. "Did you intentionally sit over here?" the thought that she might've done that, just to prove a point, amused him.
