Thorfinn's health had been on a slow decline for the last week but he woke up in the morning feeling surprisingly better. Standing up from his bed made him suddenly feel a bit light-headed, but the itchiness was fading, almost non-existent, and his limbs no longer felt achy, or old. There was something about the first day waking up less sick than he'd been for a while that just made everything feel a tiny bit brighter, and when his door creaked open, the blonde who had been essentially babysitting him for the last several days poking her head in to make sure the sound had been him standing up, not falling out of bed, his grin lit up his face.
"Ashley," he breathed, as he grabbed her by both hands and pulled her into the room. "Ice cream. I promised you ice cream when I was better. We should go." The truth was, he probably wasn't quite well enough to be out and about for much longer than a few minutes at a time, but waking up with clear sinuses made him feel invincible. He should have felt embarrassed -- and he would, once his deliriously happy state wore off -- about how he'd acted, how she'd seen him, but he couldn't be. Not when he was in this good of a mood.

Ashley had only left the room for a moment to check on Tiffany who was still dealing with full blown chicken pox in Broderick's guest room , when she entered Thorfinns room she was happy to see he was up and about "Thorfinn" she beamed and giggled at the happy mood that he was in " I'd love to" she wondered if he could recall any of what happened between them ..the cuddling the kiss..maybe he was too out of it

He grinned, then it faltered the tiniest bit.
"We should go now, though. Before Tiffany's up. Before anyone is up." he looked around, then found his clock and squinted at it curiously. Broderick would have been the only one awake, and if he was, he'd be at work for the day, most likely. "Let's go. Now." he said, suddenly feeling urgent.

Ashley raised her eyebrows curiously "alright we can go now" she cocked her head to the side with a grin "you certainly seem better" her fingers slipped into his and gently tightened "I'm glad, I was worried about you " she didn't let go of his hand for a moment then pulled away blushing "right lets go" she hastily turned away from him hiding her blushing and headed for the front door.

He paused, his first gut reaction being to reach for her hand as soon as she let go, but he stopped himself. Bad idea, he repeated mentally. Bad, bad idea.
"You should probably be in class." he sighed guiltily as he followed her out of the room and through the house towards the front door. "But ice cream first." He did feel a little bad, taking up so much of her free time but his selfish side - the majority of his being - wanted to keep spending time with her, to have her to himself.

"I actually finished with my classes for the day I get finished early on Fridays " Ashley smiled at him hopefully unable to help herself after everything with Soleus ,Thorfinn was the main person other than Broderick who helped her get through it and her obnoxiously obvious school girl crush was also a reason

"Good." He smiled a little, stepping into his shoes and dipping down to tighten them. "Pretty sure 'taking care of a grown man with the chicken pox' is the worst excuse for absences in the history of the school."
"Where do you want to go?" He asked as he straightened back up. "You're sort of the expert." he added.

Ashley shook her head with a smile "I would never miss school..even for you" she playfully bumped his hip with hers then chewed on her lower lip in thought " florean fortescue? " she asked hopefully.

He snorted, pretending to be offended for a moment, and then nodded. Her suggestion sunk in a moment later, though, and he frowned a little to himself. That name was very familiar. He just couldn't pinpoint why.

Ashley smiled happily "yay!" She took his hand and apparated quickly to the ice cream shop Felicity smiled brightly as she spotted Ashley "the usual " she commented with a grin . Ashley blushed at being s regular but nodded shyly and turned to Thorfinn expectantly waiting for him to order.

He remembered the moment they walked into the shop.
"I'm. Um." he frowned, reaching out and putting one hand on Ashley's shoulder very gently. It wasn't clear whether it was for support or just the comfort of having her with him, but he powered through. "Caramel. Please." There. Polite. Normal. Completely non-suspicious.

Ashley smiled at him sweetly when she felt his hand on his Shoulder, Felicity was completely oblivious to Thorfinns Discomfort she smiled brightly "coming right up" she chimed out happily, Ashley pulled Thorfinn to a seat and sat across from him "I am really glad that you are feeling better Thorfinn" she smiled up at him hopefully chewing on her lower lip "although you are probably the most adorable sick person I have ever looked after" she giggled at him cheekily.

Ashley's playful demeanour relaxed him a little and he mock-scowled. "You. Stop right there. Nope. That's enough."
He looked a little out of place in the brightly lit ice cream shoppe, but his rather optimistic outlook that day seemed to brighten him up enough to keep him from sticking out too terribly.

"Sorry" Ashley giggled peering at him through her lashes "so I um....I was wondering if you um..." she paused sheepishly looking up at him , she was so nervous that she began to blush crimson growing at the base of her neck working it's was up to her cheeks "did you um remember what we uh" she almost got it out when the icecream floated over to their table and gently landed in front of them, losing her nerve she forced a smile and squeaked "oh look icecream...nevermind"

He frowned, eyeing her for a moment as she grew distracted - or rather, as a convenient distraction was placed between them.
"Ashley." he said firmly, trying to recapture her attention.
