She had mentioned the Tarot before he could consider it, at least for the moment, however. "I'm sure I've heard of that, somewhere." Traces of teasing had crept into his tones and eyes, but he gave her a semi-amused, semi-inquiring glance as she brought up Treyen. That one sentence could mean a number of things, especially given Renée's other profession. "And why, in the mademoiselle's opinion, might that be?"
"Of course not, Mademoiselle Bishop." It was impossible to sound serious, or non-mischievous, when Renée's eyes held that impish spark. "I am but a simple Charms professor."
He had a feeling she hadn't missed the frown, even if it had only been there for a fraction of a second. This might be a good point to ensure he could keep his thoughts to himself, at least for now, but then there was the part where he trusted her not to intrude. "The pros and cons of having a family." His smile was light, almost reassuring. "You'll be fine." It wasn't just a statement. She would be. There was something in his voice that said that. There was a pause, and then he asked, a lazy bit of grin crossing his features as he spoke, "And how is Bowie?"
Renée couldn't help but grin a little as Jared responded to her almost hypothetical question, nowhere near feeling like she'd walked right into it all. In a way, she expected it, even knowing that he knew a lot more about her than probably anyone else here at the castle. Unless Tate really looked into the backgrounds of his employees, but she'd never seen anything from the headmaster to say that. So as far as she knew, any of her secrets were still at her own discretion to reveal, and not many had managed to get her to do so. "I'm sure you have," she replied, almost coyly, leaving his curiosity alone for the time being. She'd never hidden her connection to the Tarot after all. And she raised an eyebrow slightly at the look he'd given her when she'd brought up Treyen. "Perhaps because I recommended research when it came to questions he'd come to me with near the end of last term," she replied lightly. It didn't really seem curious, anyhow, not to her.
Jared's response to her comment regarding Lily elicited a laugh, though. "Jared, I don't think anyone could ever call you a simple anything, least of all a simple professor," she said, unable to not continue her amused and impish expression. That would be impossible if he continued trying to act innocent, anyhow.
Her expression took on a bit of a stunned appearance, momentarily, as he seemed almost like he was trying to reassure her. It faded quickly, leaving just a simple look toward him, but that was new. Even though he'd always seemed to try and support her, during her problems last term at least, she hadn't expected much more. "I think that's almost an understatement," she said with a faint rueful smile, before it brightened a little at the simple confidence. She knew she could handle it, as she always had. It didn't mean she felt like dealing with it right now, but that was another story. And before she could go back to dwelling on that, he'd distracted her again and another soft laugh bubbled up. "Bowie's his usual self. He really wants to play in the snow, but you know that's kind of problematic." Disillusionment didn't exactly still work when it came to displacing things.
