"Uhm." he shifted his eyes awkwardly.
"I guess - yeah, he's alright." Thorfinn had to admit, even if he didn't get along with Soleus perfectly, he was still not a bad person. Maybe a little too confident, a bit of an ass sometimes, but certainly not a bad guy. It could have been worse, for her, really. "He's, uhm, close with his sister." he tried to think of ways to word things to make them sound like good qualities in a person, not just a death eater. "He's.. loyal. Family is important." he nodded. Yes, those were all good things to say, right?

Ashley nodded along in agreement and smiled hopefully "yeah and he doesn't dislike me I mean at least I don't have to marry someone who hates me" she commented genuinely grateful "and my mom is really happy" with a sigh he ran her fingers through her hair and forced a smile "it's going to be fine"

"It is." he reinforced, giving her a serious look.
"And if he turns out to be an ass, we can call the whole thing off & I will marry you." he teased, giving her a little nudge, affectionately.

Ashley dropped her jaw and just stared at him in shock for a moment then shook her head and smiled shyly "I-I would never ask you to do that Thorfinn i-it would be unfair to you" she stammered out as she blushed.

"I have to button down sometime, I'd rather it be to someone I actually enjoy the company of." he said with a little shrug, giving her a charming smile.
"Besides, it's not going to happen. You'll be fine, honest." he gave a little playful sigh. "Do NOT tell Soleus that I said this, but.. you could do a lot worse. He's a good kid."

without warning Ashley leaned in and pulled him into a big hug and just stayed there curled up on his lap her eyes closed and snuggled into him subtly taking in his scent.

Definitely not what he'd call a 'hugger', Thorfinn blinked in surprise before carefully slipping his arm around Ashley's waist & using his free hand to squeeze her upper arm gently, in what he hoped would come off as a reassuring manner.
"Uhm, it's okay..?" he tried, as if worried she was about to cry again.

Ashley peeked up at Thorfinn from where she was snuggled into him only her eyes visible for a moment as she smiled into him with a nod, when she pulled apart she agreed and leaned in kissing his cheek softly her nose crinkling at the feeling of his stubble on her lips.

He nearly forgot who she was & what they were doing for a moment, his gut reaction telling him to grab her chin gently between two fingers & turn her to kiss him properly, but he stopped himself. She wasn't flirting, she was being kind. There was a difference, he just didn't often see this end of it.
"Besides, if you want to talk, ever," he continued, to kill the silence between them, "you know where I am." he gestured around them with a small smile.

Ashley's smile grew and she nodded all bright eyed and grateful "definitely" she commented then brushed some of her hair behind her ear shuffling her feet bashfully "I should probably get going..."

"We'll talk soon." he insisted as he took her hand, giving it a small, reassuring squeeze. He couldn't help but feel a little useless, he had no idea what it was she or Soleus was really going through - he'd been his own guardian for so long that he'd never been 'threatened' with an arranged marriage. On top of that, in Ashley's case, he was on the complete other end of it. It wasn't completely unheard of for much, much older than Soleus, pureblood men to be married off to girls Ashley's age. At least Soleus & Ashley seemed to be, shudder, friends. For a moment, Thorfinn thought about Brent & Tiffany. Brent wouldn't have made a horrible husband, & Tiffany a wife, but to one another, they were horrible. It was a bad match & Ashley was lucky to be coming out of her arranged engagement fairly unscathed.

"I hope so" Ashley commented her eyes genuine and wide as she looked at him sincerely and pulled him into a hug, a moment later she stepped back, focused her mind and with a loud popping noise vanished.
