Certainly she could have chosen to be easygoing and no doubt could have had half the boys who took her classes half in love with her by Christmas if she chose...but that wasn't her method of gaining obedience from her students and he knew it. "Whose playing? In my classroom I<em>am</em>a cruel taskmaster. I expect them to give their best and accept nothing else. You know you do to, you're just cuter than I am and nicer about it," she added with a soft laugh as she sipped her wine.<br/><br/>Listening to him talk about his summer, her smile continued. She liked hearing about his family, so much larger and more connected than her own! She couldn't imaging what it would have been like to grow up with brothers and sisters and parents who wanted  you around so hearing him talk about his own family was always a treat. She wouldn't trade her Grandparents for all the siblings in the world, but there were times she thought it might have been nice to have a larger family as well.<br/><br/>"Quiet compared to yours no doubt. Mostly I helped my Grandparents tutor the magical children who come to them for preparation before they are old enough to start school formally. There are a few who will be starting in another year or two who seem quite promising at the moment. I helped Grandfather with his garden as well. You'd never have made me believe it as a child or teenager, but as an adult I find working in his garden quite soothing. It's almost a form of meditation digging in the dirt," she said with a laugh, clearly finding herself silly for only now realizing she enjoyed gardening.<br/><br/>Fingering her bag she flashed him a wry grin before opening it and pulling out the book she'd been looking at earlier. Sliding to him she couldn't help but to chuckle softly, "I had to get it for you when my Grandmother mentioned having seen it and asked if that wasn't the vineyard my Professor friend lived at," she said. The book itself was a large coffee table table, it's cover hard and glossy, and prominently displaying his family's vineyard as a gorgeous landscape. The book itself wasn't so much about famous vineyards, but about those that produced the best wines from all over Europe and the Château d'Chevalier featured prominently. Clearly the author had not only enjoyed their wines, but the whole feeling the Chateau as well.
