Thorfinn Rowle was standing in the middle of a new, much smaller petshop that had opened on the opposite end of Diagon Alley as the original. Business on the entire shop-front street had been booming lately & it opened up the market for duplicate supply shops. He preferred this location to the original, as it was often less full & he was less likely to be bothered, there. However, he found that a few other alleged-death eaters, the ones who were questioned by the authorities the most even though they had yet to pin any solid proof on them, shopped there as well, along with the other 'duplicate' shops. They seemed to have the same bright idea that Thorfinn did.
"Ms. Lestrange." Thorfinn greeted with a small, unimpressed sigh as he began to navigate the area around him in order to find the bird seed. Tiffany barely looked up, then gave him a small, curt nod.
"Rowle." They didn't get along, but they were both mature enough to act somewhat civil. Occasionally. Only in public. With witnesses.
Thorfinn looked up as the bell above the door to the shop chimed sweetly, smirking as he saw the young blonde that he'd been seeing occasionally in the forest step inside.

Ashley had stepped into her favorite pet shop one of the few that had the kind of pet food that her kitten Euterpe required she eagerly browsed the shelves humming softly to herself on a hunt for it not paying attention to much else, only looking up when she felt a shadow looming over her, with quick reflexes she turned around opening her mouth to speak, then stopped for a moment an smiled shyly when she had seen who it was "oh, Hello Thorfinn" she smiled at him politely biting on her lower lip shyly "how are you?"

Tiffany even stopped what she was doing to turn & look curiously, though she kept her distance from the two of them. Rowle smirked up at Ashley, quirking one eyebrow at her thoughtfully. He enjoyed her company, most of the time. She seemed genuinely interested in him, not necessarily as a romantic interest but just personally. It stroked his ego a little to know that at least someone out there was curious about him.
"Ms. Godfrey." he gave her an almost wolfish little grin. "What are you doing this end of Diagon?"

Ashley smiled bashfully a Thorfinn and waved shyly "Hello Thorfinn, it's nice to see you" she commented genuinely then ran her fingers through her hair shyly "oh my cat Euterpe she had a birth defect and needs this special kind of food" she nodded then cocked her head to the side curiously "what about you?"

"Birdseed." he replied quickly, gesturing vaguely in the direction he'd come walking over from. "What's wrong with your cat?" he leaned against the shelf as he spoke, though he was only making small-talk his face said that he was incredibly interested in whatever she was saying, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration, dipping his head to lean forward just a little. The sort of thing he did to make most girls swoon.

Ashley smiled shyly and nodded "Oh right of course" She widened her eyes and bit on her lower lip When she saw his look he gave her she couldn't help swooning slightly, her cheeks turning a shade of pink she bashfully tugged on a piece of her hair "She has a growing disability I charmed her so she doesn't grow because it was supposed to get worse with age she also falls asleep constantly because she is so tiny she doesn't have much energy"

"That's adorable." his tone was completely condescending, but it wasn't necessarily cruel.
"Look, I said they needed to be live. Can't you just petrify them?" Tiffany snapped loudly at the man behind the counter near them, glaring at the containers of dead mice that had been preserved in jars & cans.
Thorfinn quirked an eyebrow & turned to glance at her, a little smirk growing on his lips, "Prefer playing with your food before eating, Lestrange?" The look Tiffany gave him could have frozen flames in their place.

Ashley blushed at his tone and looked at the ground shyly, when Thorfinn spoke to Tiffany she took it as a queue to leave, after waving to Tiffany politely she disappeared around the corner picking up the bag of food she needed \then headed for the till waiting for Tiffany to finish.

Thorfinn glanced up as she walked away, heading over to grab his own supplies & get in line behind Ashley. "Where did you manage to buy a defective cat, anyway?" he asked conversationally, mostly teasing, but it was Tiffany who interrupted this time.
"A kitten? Do they sell kittens?" she immediately looked around curiously.
"I had no idea you were so cuddly." Thorfinn smirked, mocking her.
"Not for me, moron, for.." she trailed off as the shop owner returned. Speaking about her the illegal African dog-descendant currently chained up in the backyard of Lestrange Manor wasn't the best plan in a public place. The owner cleared his throat, holding out a cage that was overstuffed with wriggling, live mice. It was probably some sort of animal cruelty, forcing so many into one cage, but they'd be eaten soon enough. "Ciao." she replied sarcastically to the pair of them, chomping her teeth once to make a double meaning of her goodbye, as in 'chow'. With a rustle of her black cloak, she was out the door.
Thorfinn turned back to Ashley as she approached the till. "So. The kitten." he repeated.

Ashley looked from Tiffany to Thorfinn remaining silent as she so often did then turned to Thorfinn and smiled faintly "well...Broderick took me to buy one on my fifteenth birthday there was a whole bunch there but the moment I saw Euterpe I knew that she needed me and she was the one I wanted..we had to go to a muggle pet shop to get her...they said she would probably die within a few years but not if I charmed her..." She shrugged and smiled happily thinking about her kitten "she is one of the most affectionate animals you will ever come across"

Thorfinn gave her a small smile. He thought about his own birds, then thought of Hephaestus & smirked a bit. Ashley would probably give it a better home than he could - he had too many to take care of as it was. It was impossible to provide such intense care to one individually.
"That's interesting. I've never had a cat before." he smirked a bit. "You obviously got lucky. I hear they can usually be quite stand-off-ish."

"usually they are yes but she for some reason is not" Ashley shrugged and smiled brightly "Broderick wanted to ask you to come over on Friday did he get to talk to you about it?" she asked innocently cocking her head to the side and smiled curiously.

"No, actually. He must've owled. I, uhm, haven't been home much." he awkwardly cleared his throat & scratched at the back of his neck before asking somewhat playfully, "I'm not in trouble or something, am I?" he knew Broderick was his friend, but he also knew he could be getting a damn stern talking to when he decided to arrive, possibly on the Charlotte-related front. Things had ended pretty hideously. In all honesty, he didn't care much, but he was tempted to ask Ashley how his ex was holding up for the sake of looking like the better man.

Ashley cocked an eyebrow "would you blame him if you were" she asked innocently tilting her head to the side obviously it was plain to see that Ashley heard about Thorfinn and Charlotte "but I didn't ask just passing on the message" she smiled innocently and shrugged.

"I didn't realize that what I did with my romance life concerned so many people other than myself." he said knowingly, giving her a look with one eyebrow raised, lips pursing a little. He obviously understood the concern that his friends & Charlotte's friends had, but he didn't want to be treated like he'd done something horribly wrong. No one could force him to stay in or leave a relationship that he didn't want to be a part of. Concerned or not, the final decision came down to him & him alone.
