She watched as Cooper walked closer noticing his balancing skills, smiling she took the lemonade he was offering her, "Thank you." She leaned in a bit closer than necessary but it was Cooper and she was a liability when it came to him.

She shook her head at his first question but realized maybe she should actually answer him since he asked two questions, "I don't mind at all, by all means add the ketchup." She waited for him to do that before snagging a chip to dip. "How have things been for you? I feel like it's been quite a while since we were able to sit down and just chat." She made direct eye contact with him like that would let him in on all her secrets.

Shade was good. Cooper had perpetually neglected sunblock and had quite the farmer's tan because of it. He didn't mind it so much though, it was a representation of his hard work and he was working hard. Maybe a little too hard, but it was giving him a very comfortable financial foundation. He might even...maybe...find his own flat soon. Though separation from Phoebe and Theo felt like an uncomfortable concept. Phoebe moving in with Morgan was inevitable and with his erratic schedule he just felt like...maybe...he...should...well...anyway.

Thoughts for another time and maybe when he actually remembered his farmers tan since his rolled three quarter sleeves were hiding the tan lines.

"You're welcome," he smiled back as he settled into his seat properly and set right to fixing his not-so-special-special sauce. Using a chip to mix, Cooper popped it into his mouth and licked his thumb clean from some of the sauce that had splashed up while mixing. "Uuuuuuh..." he chuckled after popping a couple more chips into his mouth, once again licking his fingers - this time from grease. "Gosh...I don't know. Sort of more of the same. Working too much, according to some, and that means splitting my time between here and France...been picking up more hours on the Ashburry-Hawthorne sanctuary, Creatures and Cwtches Sanctuary, since they just had their second child and...they could use the extra hands. Some days I'm more a human babysitter than assisting Derfael with creatures or repairs around the stables." He didn't mind this though and it was a nice change up sometimes from working exclusively with creatures as a creature healer in the Alley or herding abraxan with Monsieur Benoit. Photography had sort of taken a backseat, ish, but he still got to dabble in it in meaningful ways. Promotional art for the sanctuary and the Benoit estate specifically. "It's Mercer and Marina's OWL year at school...so been trying to send them my notes and such to help them prepare. Not so sure they really appreciate it though. Probably a bit annoying and overbearing to them."

Cooper had been...rather over zealous with his studying. Great coping mechanism for PTSD from the Third Wizarding War.

Cooper leaned forward and grabbed one of his fried fish fillets and dipped it deep into his sauce. "How are things at Malkins going? You getting to make designs of your own yet? I could take some photos for you sometime if you'd like." And then SethElliot's voice went buzzing in his ear about how he ought not do anything for free, not even favors to friends. Cooper had made some coin at Hogwarts taking headshots for friends - awkward as that had been in some cases - but his style was not the best for modeling agencies in that way. Less high fashion and commercial and more...intimate. His aesthetic worked pretty good with product display though and editorials. "I come with a very reasonable price point," he added as an afterthought, hopefully it coming across that he was teasing.
