She knew that look, knew she'd pushed him far enough that she'd already be paying for taunting him if they weren't surrounded by students and that, most likely, making him wait for his retribution would only make it all the worse (better?...perspective) on her when he got the chance. The idea all but made her smirk at him until he laughed at her quip.<br/><br/>"I suppose it's all a matter of perspective isn't it? You feel like you won, I<em>don't</em>feel like I lost and it all comes out satisfying for everyone involved," she said while trying to hide a chuckle behind her wine.<br/><br/>Hearing the announcement that they were almost to the school she smiled and something in her demeanor actually relaxed. If you didn't know her well you'd likely miss it, but for those that knew her it would be obvious. Isa was actually content. For all that she scowled at unruly students, she was still sitting with a friend, having a wonderful glass of wine and teasing him mercilessly, while heading back to the place she truly considered home. Isa was a happy woman in that moment and she was smart enough to savor it.<br/><br/>Having let Matias push her heel away from his leg she let her leg slide down so that they were now crossed at the ankles instead of the knees before she answered his question, "You know I'm always happy to help in the greenhouses if you'd like," she answered a dark light of amusement filling her gaze as she wondered just what he might have planted, "And you know you look wonderful you silly man so stop fishing for compliments," she added with a warm chuckle.<br/><br/>
