"And where would we be without situations like that?," she asked facetiously. The inference was that there would be no openings for conversation, but that seemed rather impossible. Especially when he kept surprising her with things like this dinner. And birthday presents, even though he'd never officially revealed himself as the sender. It wasn't likely to have been her family, or her editor, and given the common knowledge of their exploration of faculty files, the list had narrowed.

When he spoke about his previous studies of Divination, she paused in her meal to listen interestedly. Perhaps this would shed more light into his theory of being dreadful at the subject, but as the revelation concluded, she was unable to continue resisting the urge to laugh. "That would be a rather unfortunate end, but I can assure you that has only happened a few times in history," she replied, still highly amused. In fact, she hadn't ever thought about a situation like that, but now that it had been brought up, she was glad at least one of her students wasn't there to hear that. She knew he wasn't entirely serious though, and she imagined everyone had ridiculous ideas like that when in school. She'd had several, although she had pushed those memories back almost involuntarily when other events had occurred.

Making herself uncomfortable with her thoughts, she applied herself to finishing the last few bites of her meal before she heard him speak again, and she looked back up, finally back to her previous demeanor. At the challenge, if nothing else. "Does he truly think she'd be that cruel?," she inquired, still oddly intrigued by their moment of third-person referral. At least it was entertaining, as opposed to thinking about her mother again. She hoped he knew it was all in good fun, and his grin seemed to establish that. And as he continued, still echoing her earlier mischievousness, she relaxed and sent him another little grin. "It still has to involve a bit more creativity than realism, but sadly I have to say that's true."

A lazy grin met the raised eyebrow. "Not here, for one," he said. Talking to others could become the equivalent of talking to oneself, if that became the norm. In fact, one might be better off just sticking to the latter, should something of that sort happen. Unless pursuing a conversation with a doorknob or two sounded like a better idea.

Though, of course, human beings have been known to adapt to stranger things, before.

"Unfortunate is not the term," Jared said, sounding as amused as he felt because of the adjective she had chosen, before he helped himself to another bite. He had a feeling the people that could be subjected to the kind of end in question, might agree. Though he doubted that, Inner Eye or not, such a thing had occurred to most of them. "For some reason, that assurance isn't particularly reassuring," he grinned. "It's bad enough that it's happened before, let alone happened a few times."

There seemed to be a change in her train of thoughts and countenance, though, for a moment there; but it had gone almost at once, and he had no time to reflect over it. And it seemed he was going to be referred to as a third person too, now. "Do you think he could?" he asked, though his expression turned from amused to mildly curious at her next remark.

"Sadly?" Considering that the original remark had been her imagining that she'd say he knew certain things better.
