SPOILER!!: Sounds like a RomCom

Not to mention that, surely, himself and Ruby agreed upon such a thought without it needing uttered. "Absolutely," he agreed while patting his pockets a bit. "Do you still have the card I gave you at the fair? If not...I ought to have another here somewhere..." He did rarely ever leave the ranch without a couple in hand just in case. Finding one, or so he thought, he pulled it from his pocket only to laugh at his own folly. "Or I only have my dueling coach ones with me today." Which would not assist at all with any floo network or apparition point to get to the ranch, alas.

"Outstanding for I have plenty of time to listen," he encouraged while scooping another spoonful into his mouth and sucked it clean while she began elaborating. And it truly was a touching tale, one that resonated with him profoundly and was quite the coincidence they they had both found their way into the same altruistic lifestyle in which creatures, horses, played such a significant part in the healing process. "Beautiful," he spoke softly, his eyes looking at her as though he were seeing sunshine for the first time. "Such a deeply personal story your family has to lead you to where you are today, not only with equestrian hospitality but into the field of healing as well," he admired, trying not to let the business and potential partnership between ranches take over his thoughts. The job fair had been all about business and networking, today was meant to be a meeting of the auras. "And, in your spare time, you enjoy a cup of ice cream for a bit of self indulgence," he mused while balancing his cup on his knee and licking his spoon clean before dropping it into the cup once again. This, naturally, provoked several follow up questions but he would save those for another moment.

"Somewhat," he chuckled as he traced a circle with his finger upon his other knee. "Ned and Loretta discovered they were an infertile couple early on in their relationship and rather than rely on healers to expand their family, they decided to foster and, in my case, adopt. There were five of us, myself the youngest, and while we all came from different places we considered one another brother and sister...Ned and Loretta our dad and mum. We also had a Leonberger dog named Avalon who, if you are familiar with the tale of Peter Pan, was very much our Nana. So we grew up understanding the way in which creatures and ourselves can mend and care for one another and they did foster kittens and puppies in a similar manner to help us as your parents did your sister. And...it expanded from there to what it is now," he explained, pride and affection embracing every word he spoke and yet there was a somber undertone between the breaths he took.

Ruby wasn’t conversationally awkward but having a flowing conversation where she didn’t just sit back and listen rather than drive the topic of interest was difficult for her. Ever the shoulder to lean on, most ‘meetings’ she had were particularly one sided. Yet with Jericho she didn’t appear to have a problem and it felt oddly natural. Maybe it was the sugar from the ice cream mixing with the adrenaline she had from actually going through with it? Whatever it was, listening to Jericho speak of his creatures and his career with such passion was endearing. “I’m sure I still have it at home somewhere.” It was likely pinned up on her noticeboard. “Unfortunately I did not make a good dueller at school but thankfully my career didn’t need that particular skill.” She was too much of a pacifist to feel that she needed to either although watching her brothers partake in the sport had been a thrill.

The pride that Ruby had for her parents' altruistism was second to none. “I couldn’t take it for granted how lucky I was to have such a privileged upbringing. The least I can do is offer my time and services back to the community.” Whether that was by volunteering her time at the stables or through her tireless work as a Mediwitch. “Rarely” she admitted shyly. “I admit that I don’t allow much time for self-indulgence. It’s something that my sister has been trying to encourage over the years.” Her limit was a walk along the beach at her parents house or a quick hack across the moorland on one of the horses every few months or so.

The similarities between their familial backgrounds was not lost on the former Ravenclaw. In fact listening to Jericho recall his own childhood had her heart fluttering just the slightest. They both had parents, albeit Ruby’s was biological but at the end of the day that was insignificant, whose hearts were wide enough to integrate others into their family. Their parents also used animals as a way to heal lost souls and the caring nature was obviously inherited by the children. Or rather by most in Ruby’s case, she couldn’t really speak on behalf of her brothers who seemed to lack the empathetic gene. “That sounds as if you had a wonderful childhood.” After being fostered she meant for he didn’t disclose the reason he was in the system in the first place. “Instilling those values onto children helps to encourage such beautiful human beings in later life.” Not that she was calling him beautiful.. but not that she didn’t think he was beautiful.

“Did they encourage you to walk around barefooted too?” she giggled, an attempt at flirtatious teasing which she hoped was obvious enough as it didn’t come naturally to her.
