Still, she tried to remain calm and composed on the outside even with the butterfly charm dancing around in her stomach.

The number of strings Jericho had to his bow fascinated Ruby. A world class duellist, a motivational speaker, a rescuer of animals, it almost seemed as if he would have no time for himself either and yet he breathed an air of self-confidence and assurance that wasn’t even remotely touching on arrogance. It was the sort of personality that drew you in and captivated your attention for a long time. Ruby wore her heart on her sleeve and unfortunately her altruism could easily be taken advantage of if given to the wrong individual.

“Oh I have no qualms over getting muddy” she tittered. “I grew up surrounded by horses, mucking out the stables was one of my chores.” She might’ve looked pulled together but ordinarily she wasn’t always so perfectly groomed. That was her sister Tabitha’s influence who had insisted that Ruby make a good impression by looking as feminine as possible. Truth be told the former Ravenclaw was much more at home in jeans and a t-shirt but she didn’t want Jericho to think that he was unworthy of making the effort. “Perhaps we should’ve met at your farm rather than at Florean’s” To be quite honest walking around a sanctuary fussing animals sounded rather appealing, just not the typical ‘first date’.

The decision over which flavour she would be purchasing hadn’t been particularly difficult. “Not yet but please don’t judge me for my mundane choice in ice cream flavours. I’d love a scoop of Mint Chocolate Chip” The giggle that came afterwards was a little sheepish. There would be no adventurous taste palette from this side of the table. Jericho might have been pleased to know that Ruby herself was brought up and still remained a vegetarian although the step up to veganism had yet to be considered.

He had breathing exercises that could assist with that. Well, breathing exercises paired with self meditations. They did not always work for all, though he was having a very positive success rate with his most recent long term client. Speaking of, he needed to send James a reminder about his next appointment so Jericho was not accidentally stood up again. Bit flighty, that blond, but making great strides.

"Ah, absolutely majestic creatures, aren't they?" he smiled. "And so remarkably like us as well. Thrive in the company of others and the bonds they form and suffer in loneliness, capable of great empathy and spending time with them can quite literally heal an anxious heart." Truly, he could go on about the wonders of the creatures and some of the honest to goodness miracles he had witnessed between the horses on the ranch and visitors. "It would be my pleasure to host sometime." So, Ruby could consider that invitation wide open and she need only RSVP when ready and available.

Jericho chuckled and shook his head, the combination seeming to cause his freckles to dance upon his cheeks and around his eyes. "No judgements here. Everyone should have their preference of ice cream with no shame," he assured her with a wink as he pushed off from the table to head inside to fetch her that scoop of mint chocolate chip and settle on something for himself.

There was a little bit of a queue inside, but he was returning to their table soon enough with a scoop each in a cup. He had briefly contemplated while in the queue going back outside to ask whether she would prefer a cone, and which one, or cup but concluded soon enough that to spare them sticky fingers and a messy tabletop while they chatted. Returning to their table, his serene smile as wide as ever, Jericho passed her ice cream to her with a gentle slide across the table and slid back into his own seat with his own scoop of lemondrop sorbet. Balancing his cup on his left palm, Jericho slipped his sandals off so he could pull his feet up on to his chair. Yes, sometimes he preferred to sit as a toddler might in their seat but what was so wrong with a youthful display every now and then? His toes curled over the rim of his seat and moved his cup of ice cream on his knee while dipping his spoon in for a bite. "So, Ruby, you mentioned growing up around horses, yes? Did your family own its own ranch or was it by other accommodations that you were so blessed?"
