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.

Charlie smiled because forearms, let's be honest. But she needed to focus because Cooper was right in front of her and it had been too long since she had been able to see him.

Working hard? That didn't surprise her one bit, he always had been a hard worker and wanted to be the best in his field. "Are you still enjoying working at the sanctuary? I know that you really enjoyed it the last time we spoke." Her laughter filled the air when he mentioned being a child wrangler more often these days. "I can only imagine how much those kids keep you on your toes. I'm sure the creatures are a bit more predictable." OWLs, she didn't miss those in the slightest at all. She nodded, "sounds like you just want them to have a security of passing. I can't blame you there."

Snatching a chip she smiled and nodded, "I'm still loving it. There's just so much you can do for people. Little linings here, custom works there." She hummed thinking about the latest project the owner had let her lead on. "Actually, I've gotten a few opportunities on the last few custom orders that came in. But I've still been doing some designing here and there on my own." Did he just offer to give her a full afternoon of picture taking? What if she was the model, would he still do it? "You'd really do that? You'd take photos of my work, what if I wanted to model it in the photos would that be okay?" She didn't lose sight of his later comment, "what's the going rate for a Cooper original session?" He may not always be doing much photography but he was still really good at it and she knew it. Seth Elliot could shush he was always pushing the friend group, but he couldn't be blamed here. Cooper was worth the cost.
