Mam, what a charming name. Pippa smiles as she listens to him talk and quietly thanks him as he hands her the jar and then later her wine glass. Taking a sip from her glass, she shrugs a shoulder then turns up the flame under a pan, heating it through. "What sort of work did she do?"
She'd much rather talk about him, his family and where he grew up, keeping her snide remark about one faerytale or another to herself-- Pippa's aware of how people tend to envision that 'different' world. That's certainly not the impression she wants to make on him this evening.
She'd rather, but she shouldn't. Give and take, she reminds herself. Give and take and if she wants something real with Rory she's going to have to be honest with him. Honest yes, but she doesn't have to look at him while she speaks.
Continuing to put dinner together one step at a time, she waits until she's whisking a pan filled with blueberries and stock (amongst other ingredients) to speak up again. "I don't really have anything to do with that 'world' any more, Ro. I haven't for a very long time. I suppose that's why I don't talk about it much...about them. I can assure you, they think nothing me. Nothing kind at any rate."
