The tease was more than enough to make Jared grin, he typically didn't find himself being flirted with. That wasn't for any reason in particular, he simply had a habit of making himself busy even when he didn't have to. It was kind of nice to just talk with someone for once, especially someone so interesting.<br/><br/>"Well, if you're ever looking for the lecture, just let me know. Though, to be fair, I know smoking isn't always the most attractive thing. But, I don't know, a french girl that smokes kinda reminds me of those old noir movies. It's actually more attractive than you'd think." Admittedly, maybe he didn't flirt because he wasn't the greatest at it. Still, he made the effort, mostly because he was being honest with it in this case.<br/><br/>"Where I'm from, that'd be Texas." Jared said, as plainly as day, though he couldn't help but make a smirk afterwards. It probably wasn't exactly the first place people thought of when they thought of chivalry or charm, more of rednecks and firearms. "I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if it's charming men that you're lookin' for." It wasn't tough to tell, he didn't consider his old friends as the charming type, but still, he grinned, it was humorous to him. A subtle laugh even escaped as he imagined his old friends even attempting to show any kind of charm. They weren't the kind, still, he was flattered to have such a woman giving him the compliments. "If you're ever looking for gun shows though, then that's your place. Though I reckon I don't see an abundance of men treating women the right way there."<br/><br/>"Jared, by the way." He said, offering his hand to shake hers. He felt just a little embarrassed that he'd yet to introduce himself. But there was no use over-stressing it.<br/><br/>"So, here from France? What brings a girl like you 'round here? I can't imagine the tourism is all that great in comparison." Jared said, pondering the reasons. He wasn't even sure if she was visiting the area or living here. "Or, would two secrets be too much to ask for?" Jared asked, grinning once more.
