There was the temptation there as he wanted to wrap his arm around her slender waist and pull her against him, but he held a tight reign on those base desires. "Marie, you do realize that makes no sense. If I'd given in, you would've said that it was proof that I was submissive to your beautiful body, and by not doing anything I am also submissive. Maybe you should try actually getting to know me. You're looking for shortcuts and quick judgments. Are you really that afraid you might like me?"
Bastion started to walk with her again. "And you might not have refused me, but I would have refused you." He said with a simple shrug and smile. "So tell me, what else beyond quidditch do you enjoy?" He asked easily, as if he hadn't been annoyed only a moment ago. He still was, but he was hiding it better now that he had the time to deal with it.
