"Your father was an excellent teacher, it would be difficult unless I was a complete dimwit to not pick up his teachings." The tamer praised the man that had taught them both martial arts.
"And the only chance you'd have in beating me is if you used your magic." Charlotte teased as she pointed out her one flaw, her inability to naturally wield magic without the aid of equipment. The tamer delicately took a sip of the tea after it was poured for her. 'Indeed.' Charlotte thought to herself as the scent itself reminded her of the woman Edgar spoke of.
It wouldn't take too long for Jessie would return, cakes in hand, a separate plate for the two cupcakes that Charlotte had ordered, as she had assumed one was for Gwen. A correct assumption to make as Charlotte indicated to place one closer to the edge for Gwen to enjoy and one further away that she could eat slowly with a fork without risking the gryphon stealing it after devouring its own.
"Please enjoy, and don't be afraid to call for me if you require anything else." Jessie smiled as she placed Edgar's tart in front of him, next to which a small chocolate lay on the plate as well,
"An extra little treat for the first-time cutie." She winked before taking her leave, giving the two space to continue their conversation.
"I think she likes you." The tamer teased, displaying a devilish grin as she wriggled her eyebrows in a suggestive manner the moment Jessie was out of earshot.

As they continued to enjoy their afternoon together eating cake and drinking tea, Charlotte would go on to tell Edgar more about the jobs she'd taken since their last meeting whilst also asking about his own. The tamer would tell him of how she delivered cakes, for this very establishment, and met Jessie in the process. The aid she had provided to the church of Illumin by helping the local priest out with administering medicines and collecting a local herb. Being sure to hint that the priest had seemed exhausted both times and could no doubt do with more help.
Lastly, she'd explain the work she'd done in Hosenka alongside Kaito. An ongoing investigation in which she'd joined a small-time gang, gathering information on them to deliver to her brother in the rune knights. Whilst she'd include how they had acted as different people as a couple, she was careful to avoid including all the embarrassing details that acting as a couple entailed.
