That initial answer was loaded, and Corbin filed it away. "Ahh, and what is it you do?" he asked, thinking it was fair for him to ask since she'd brought it up.

There was something validating in the way she responded, always enjoying having his expectations confirmed. "Mm, that is good to know. I do enjoy a good scotch." Whiskey too, but scotch was better, in his opinion. One dark eyebrow curved up at her observation, a small smirk playing on his lips. It was rare he got that question worded in that way, as typically people observed that he wasn't from the area after a comment on his accent. But she also had an accent, if more muted than his own, as if she'd grown up multilingual in more than one country. "I am not," he confirmed. "I'm from Somerset, England." He'd not lived there full time in many years, but he still claimed it as home and probably always would. "And you?"

"I'm a teacher at the local High School." She paused. "Here in Sleepy Hollow, not Tarrytown."

Scotch was an acquired taste, one that the men in her family seemed to have that she couldn't quite get. "I have family in England still that we split time with over the years. At this point I'm more American at this point, but there's still a hint of accent I've never been able to shake." Not that she wanted to. It made her unique, and provided a reason for her to laugh at herself when introducing herself to a new class of students. "And what do you do?"
