Not that he'd ever... well. ANYWAYS.

Jake grinned at ~~Bunbury~~ ~~Truebridge~~ ~~Anastasia~~ Bunbury like he hadn't noticed her pale face or uncanny goldfish impression. "Oh, you know. Parenting," he jerked his head back to indicate Ezra. "Working at the ministry. Law enforcement." That part was said pointedly, just because of the surprise it was usually met with by people Jake reunited with after a long time.

"And you? How's... David?" He'd heard about her son years ago, through the real Truebridge (the one who had always miraculously tolerated Jake) and then again through the Kettleburns. Only a vague knowledge - though enough that he'd surmised that the boy might have known his sort-of-eldest - but it was polite to ask.

Jake Upstead did manners now too, see.

Parenting. Eww. That's right; they were only trapped in this unfortunate trip down nostalgia lane because Upstead had procreated and the spawn had ATTACKED HER! She cleared her throat in the general direction of said spawn. "Well, I see you still have some things to learn AND teach to your offspring." Like to not attack beautiful helpful intelligent women in the street, like herself? Hmm? They were both rubbish at this part.

She shook her head, blinking, at the next bit of nonsense to come out of Jake's mouth. "LAW EnFORCemEnT?" the redhead repeated. "How---" how had even managed to hang onto a wand in all this time?? Shouldn't he be the one GETTING arrested, not the one doing the arresting? THE WORLD WAS ON ITS HEAD TODAY! Everything was topsy-turvy, upside down, all wrong. ALL WRONG! She was perturbed and staring at him again, not even bothering to finish her thought.

And now he was COMING AFTER HER FAMILY? "Davie.........." How did he know about Davie?! Annie was highly suspicious now. Upstead had sources close to her. She was not pleased with this development. She held her chin up imperiously, glaring at Upstead, who was now taller than her as well; just another reason to dislike him. "David is fine. He graduated university with a double-major, summa cum laude. He is brilliant." Her PRIDE and JOY. And no, she was not in Diagon Alley today to follow her son around and try to make amends with him from their last argument. Not at all. She was HERE for a Pppotion ~~that she could have made at home~~ and the Upstead(s) were distracting her from purchasing it.

With that thought, Anastasia tossed her hair over her shoulder and took a step away from Jake, tucking her wand away into her wrist holster. "It's been nice catching up." Not at all. "But I have to be going, and now that you have your son back.........." They were square, right? Good. Great. Ciao.
