Ashley peeked up at him cautiously and slumped into her shoulders "I-I just..I don't want you to go" she admitted softly "y-you didn't just start avoiding Broderick you started avoiding me and I-I /needed/ you I needed someone to talk to I'm hurt to you know I really cared about Soleus a-and once I started to h-he went away I- I haven't seen him in months I don't know where he is, who he is with and no one will tell me anything I can't talk to you guys because you have your own problems a-and I understand b-but I don't want you to leave me, please don't?"

He frowned, "Ashley, I - I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you - I didn't realize anyone needed me around. I'm truly sorry." he looked at her genuinely, squeezing her hands & trying to make her feel reassured, safe.

Ashley half-smiled and wiped at her eyes daintily "it's ok...I didn't want to make this about me I know you are hurting I-I just panicked" she blushed at her little out burst and looked down at her feet shyly "if you really need to go I understand but I really /really/ don't want you to"

"I just - I wanted to get away for a bit." he admitted, slowly releasing her hands so he could sit back in his seat a bit. "I try not to walk away from friends when they need help, though." he promised.

"I-have you talked to Soleus at all?" She asked unable to help herself "is he ok?" She nibbled on her lower lip and looked down at the ground "my mother still is upset with me, she thinks I scared him away because he could tell I didn't want to marry him...b-but I was sort of ok with the idea by the end of it...that's why he didn't want me anymore"

Thorfinn tried to process for a moment, then shook his head. "I haven't heard anything. I - normally we don't do a lot of communicating unless it's necessary." he hated to have to break it to her, but he wasn't going to sugar coat it. "Not exactly the 'checking in' type, really." Fiddling with the handle of his mug, Thorfinn rubbed the back of his neck. "He's with Yaxely, who wrote in to update us. He'd say if something had gone wrong."

Ashley forced a little smile and nodded "right of course " she fell silent and stared down at her cup of tea she had been sipping on sadly.

"I'd tell you - if I knew anything." he reminded her, looking at her hopefully. He sighed & glanced at her quite empty now mug. "Can I walk you anywhere? Home? Another bookstore?" he gave her a small, hopeful look.

Ashley smiled at that and shook her head "don't need to go to another book store but I wouldn't mind going for a walk with some company?" she widened her eyes looking painfully hopeful this was the most social she had been in months, she missed Thorfinn probably more than she should have.

"I'd be glad to." He told her quite honestly. This was all he wanted - her company, without any guilt. About Soleus, Charlotte, Broderick.. just things between the two of them. He stood up & offered her a hand to hold her purchases from before, if she so wanted.
