Ashley blushed and looked down at the ground shyly "it's not of course it's not I just I'm sorry" she looked up at him through her lashes in hopes to sway him into letting the topic go.

Pleased that he seemed to have nudged her into some subordination of a sort, he cleared his throat & moved on. Tiffany grabbed the remainder of her purchase & headed out onto the street without so much as another word to either of them, but Thorfinn didn't seem to notice or mind, stepping forward as it was Ashley's turn to make her purchase.
"I'll walk back home with you, if you like." he offered her. "You live nearby, if I recall correctly?" The sun was setting & it wasn't safe lately for young women to be walking home alone in the dark. Granted, Thorfinn was probably a part of the group they were meant to fear, though there were other small-time wrongdoers out now that were using the recent death eater attacks as a mask to hide behind as they did their own mischiefs.

Ashley smiled with relief when he offered to walk her home "thank you, I do and that would be great" she took her purchase then stepped out of the store with him "so have you been up to anything since you got back?" she asked softly trying to make small talk.

"Trying to sell my flat, actually." he said, without even thinking. He immediately winced a little - that wasn't something he truly wanted to talk about in much detail. He quickly changed the subject.
"How is school going?" he knew it made him sound like a concerned parent, but he knew she was passionate about her classes & that it was something she seemed to enjoy talking about.

"oh wh-" Ashley was cut off and smiled shyly "I love it, it is going so well we are starting a new potions chapter and I get to come up with my own I was thinking between a few options" she then proceeded to get on a rant about the numerous potions she was considering making when she caught herself she blushed and bit on her lower lip shyly "or umhm something like that"

"That sounds interesting. Lestrange mentioned that you'd been out to the forest once or twice." She had also left out the part that she'd accidentally tried to murder Ashley. "Is it giving you any trouble, or are you finding it relatively easy?" he fell into step beside her, walking along casually. He genuinely liked her company. She was easy to be around.

Ashley instantly turned pink at being found out, she nibbled on her lower lip bashfully peeking up at him innocently "well I um...I-I-I no I uh" she stammered for a moment her cheeks still red as she looked down at the ground then back up at him sucking on her lower lip "I um no, no trouble it's been going well just going over my options"

Now he was smirking. How could he have missed it before?
She had a total schoolgirl crush on him. Oh, that was adorable. He'd never let Broderick live this one down, if he ever got the chance for his best friend to find out, that is. Chances were, though, by how close the two were, he already knew. Ashley wasn't the type to keep anything from her uncle.
"Really." he teased, deciding to have a little fun with it. "You weren't just trying to visit me? I'm hurt."

Ashley giggled shyly and peeked up at him bashfully "I wanted to see you too" she admitted sheepishly playing with her fingers "I-I mean t-to tell you about that dinner thing Broderick said" she mumbled blushing furiously once again.

"I wanted to see you because I enjoy your company. But if you don't return that sentiment, I can take a hint." he put his hands up in 'defeat' & managed to look humbled.
Oh, this would be so much fun for him.

"you do?" Ashley's eyes widened in surprise, she felt herself turn pink once again and grinned stupidly to herself and shook her head "I enjoy your company too Thorfinn" she peered up at him with a stupidly oblivious smile on her face "you're really smart and insightful and I enjoy talking to you it's...stimulating" she commented again completely oblivious.

"Stimulating." he repeated in reply, letting the word roll off of his tongue dangerously smoothly. "Hm." he smirked, hiking up his rucksack of birdseed as they drew closer to the end of her drive.
"You must be swamped with homework & studying, no?" he gave her a slightly sympathetic look, tilting his head to the side.

Ashley widened her eyes and stared at Thorfinn biting on her lower lip nodding slowly along with the word as it rolled off his tongue "umhmmm" she mumbled then shook her head furiously "no it's fine I mean I do but I like homework and I really don't mind" she smiled sweetly and shrugged innocently "it's really not a problem"

"Does that mean you'll invite me in for a coffee?" he asked smoothly as they stopped walking, turning on his heel to pivot & look at her face to face, though he towered over her in height.

"of course" Ashley smiled and nodded "I have cupcakes too! you can have some if you want" she looked at him sweetly and played with her fingers bashfully.
