Anya was so excited as she ran down the the owlry tower. She had tripped and ended up jumping down the last stair and had to old on to the banister as she whirled around to head down to her common room. She'd sent in her weekly check in with her father last week and had included her meeting with Marcellus Adair and he'd returned her letter with news that the betrothal had been dissolved.
She couldn't wait to tell Marc and was thankful when a Huffle had opened the door right as she came around the corner and she was able to slide into the common room. She muttered a polite thank you before searching out Marc.

Marc stared at Beans. The poor thing had been sick recently and he was trying to nurse him back to health. He sighed. He was having a miserable week... first von now his frog. His bruises had turned a yellow color. With a sigh he put beans back into his container and headed toward the common room.
He entered just as he saw Anya come tearing in. Raising an eyebrow he laughed. "Slow down a little... It will be safer for everyone involved."

Anya looked up and flashed a smile at Marc and waved her starched letter in the air. " I got news from my dad!" She paused to catch her breath and stand up, brushing the dirt off her skirt. And grabbed his arm pulling him into a duo of seats in the shadow of the room and lowered her voice." So I told my dad I'd met you and that we'd been talking and kind of hanging out. no I didn't tell him about the tower. But anywho!"
She literally sat on her hands to keep them still. " He told me he'd actually just returned form a visit to your dad's AND the betrothal contract had been dissolved!" She paused for a moment to let the news sink in! "You're free!"

Marc raised an eyebrow as she waved around a letter. He never ran around the castle when he heard from his mother. Her excitement was contagious though because he found himself grinning. When she dragged him to the seats he frowned. "Whats going on Anya?"
His golden eyes flashed as she mentioned the tower. However they widened by leaps and bounds when she told him the contract was dissolved. He shook his head "What?" He broke into a grin. "Yes! Omg YES!"
He jumped up needing to move. "Finally Von..." He frowned and his happiness vanished. "Damn... my old man still has impeccable timing... i couldn't get this news 5 days ago?"
He sighed and took a deep breath. It was over he was moving on. Marc turned on the charm . "So...You wrote home about me did ya?"

Anya smiled and watched Marc rejoice. Though at his frown she frowned. Remembering the encounter in the tower she winced. Ah yes, the old best friend, that had to hurt. "I'm sorry. I thought you'd be excited, and who knows there are years left in school maybe you can get back with her."
Anya was a romantic at heart and so she was holding out hope that the two could work things out eventually. As he asked about her writing home about him she turned five shades of red and stared over his shoulder. " Umm. Yea. I was curious about you and thought I'd ask my dad about your dad's engagement contract." She raised her hand to her mouth and bit her nails "I'm sorry if I shouldn't have."

Marc smiled at her blush. "I am excited. Very Excited that this whole contract business out of the way. And im glad your dad told you... since my parents obviously forgot to mention it." He grinned noticing she wouldn't meet his eyes. His hand reached out lightly tracing her cheek bone as he caught a loose strand of hair to tuck behind her ear.
"You know what this means for me right... I can now date whom ever i want... and never have to worry that my parents will interfere again... " He grinned again he couldn't help it. "Is that why you were so excited to tell me the news? Because you knew i would be free to date?"

Anya smiled, she was glad he was happy. "Well the way Father phrased his letter. It'd just happened today. So maybe they will contact you." She sounded hopeful, after all his parents should let him know, though if his dad isn't happy about it, that might take awhile.
At his touch she jumped slightly but smiled nervously returning to look over his shoulder and raised both her hands to tuck her hair on both sides. And at his question she blushed at what she thought he was implying. "Kind of. I knew you'd be happy with that fact. You seemed very upset about being betrothed and not allowed to properly court Vonali, or anyone else who might have one day caught your eye. It had nothing to do with me personally." She was rambling so she just shut her mouth.
She'd been honest that she'd just wanted to be friends, but she did find him cute, she found a lot of people cute. Though his touch had sent butterflies into her stomach, but she filed that under he didn't' like to be touched and so this was abnormal for him.

"Don't hold your breath, Mah hen" He used the term and grinned. Her blush was kinda charming. "My father doesn't use owls and doesn't keep my mother in the loop with business... So i would never have known... at least not till Christmas."
Marc laughed softly. "Ah but don't you remember Von and i aren't on the same page. So it couldn't have been that, Mah hen" He reached out and curled a finger under her chin. "Fa nursed me back tae health an' listened tae me swear th' whole time... it surely wasnae Vonali? " He smiled. "Come now, Mah hen."
"'at blush is huir uv a charmin' ye ken..." He smiled. "So what do you think? Would you like to go down and get some dinner with me?"

"Not til Christmas! He could send a letter, and if nothing else through my father!" She was slightly pissed at the thought that the man wouldn't even inform his son of changes in his life. She huffed for a moment but then he mentioned Von.
"But just because you aren't on the same page doesn't..." As his finger touched her chin not only did she blush but all thoughts left her brain for a moment. She cast her eyes to the side, no it hadn't been Von, but herself. "No it wasn't Vonali."
As he called her blush charming she just tried to shake her head but her chin was still trapped by his hand. "It's bloody annoying is what it is." Thinking he was going back to them being friends she smiled. " Food sounds wonderful. And when I ran past there earlier it smelled SO good." She stood up and still feeling odd brushed the wrinkles out of her skirt and straightened her vest before smiling innocently at him. " I'm ready."

"Don't get angry... anger doesn't suit you... bring back that smile....My father is a cold man with half a heart... I was born simply because he needs someone to replace him when he dies."
He moved his and up her cheek and cradled the side of her face. "Von and i were never going to work... she told me that and i always knew it deep down... So no... who took care of me... and could probably curse out someone in perfect scots... " He leaned down to look her in the eye. "Right... you." He let her go. His green gold eyes sparkled.
"I like it... it shows me just what you are feeling... even if you don't want to tell me." He smirked lightly... "What did it smell like? Cause i think a bit of soup could really hit the spot."

Anya blushed again at his compliments but refused to acknowledge it. "I doubt I could curse anyone out in Scottish but I do plan on getting a translator." She smiled and giggled lightly. though there he went making her blush again.
With a slight frown she humphed." I'm not so great at hiding my thoughts so you'll be able to practically read my mind. Wish I could, your thoughts being broadcasted here isn't the best way to survive."
Catching sight of his smirk she stuck her tongue out at him but laughed. "I'm not sure if it was soup but it brought to my head an image of beef stew. Which I might add sounds delicious right about now. With some hot buttered rolls and maybe some mashed potatoes and corn. Ok Hungry now." She looped her arm through his and pulled lightly encouraging him to come with.

"You don't need a translator... I will gladly tell you anything you want to know.I speak english Gaelic and obviously Scots..." He grinned showing of his Gaelic. "Dh’fhaodadh tu na faclan a leanas fheuchainn, a tha faisg air" He smirked. "Now contemplate if you really want to know what i said."
"Well... then i look forward to reading that book..." He smirked as she latched on to his arm. "Mmmm buttered rolls." he laughed for his own personal reasons. He was playing with innuendos. Apparently being a cad was the way to attract girls now a-days... so he would give it a try.

Anya stopped in mid step. "Ok what did you say? I told myself I wasn't gonna ask but now I've got to." She did give him and odd look as he laughed about rolls. " Why do I feel like you've told a joke and I don't get it?" She gave him a sideways glance as if trying to understand him. " If a book wrote every thought I've had most would be gibberish. Thankfully there isn't."

He smirked. He had said she was as lovely as a spring morning and called her darling again. "Nothing... I said i can't wait to eat soup..." He laughed and pulled his arm from hers to wrap his arm around her shoulder.
"I don't know... i was trying something." He shrugged and glanced down at her... "You know kenny right... Do you um... Like him... in his...um... mannerisms and stuff?" His face turned a mild shade of pink when he asked.
He ran his free hand through his hair. "I bet a lot of people would read it... looking through the gibberish for the important thoughts."

She looked at him for a long moment but took his explanation as truth and was ready to walk on when his arm went around her shoulder. She looked at him and then to his arm before blushing again, just slightly. "Yea I know Kenny." It took her a minute to understand what he meant then she noticed his own blush. She smiled kindly at him and shook her head. "I don't know much about his mannerisms I've only seen the guy a couple of times. Once when he gave me a bag of candy for playing poker with him and again the night he was trying to calm Von down. But I do know I like you for you. Don't try to act or be anyone else."
She gave him another bright smile and stood on tip toe to kiss his cheek. " No one wants to read my gibberish, nothing really important up there. Unless they need a healing spell." She was still smiling and even giggled a little but it ended in a squeak. her eyes got wide and she covered her mouth with both hands as her cheeks flushed again.
