Lyra/Ash
"How?" Ash asked with a tilt of his head, "I told you how pureblood marriages work. And Bella won't be able to move past her father's choice being me." He assumed that Lyra heard this thing because that's what girls did. They talked to each other and from what he knew of Bella and Lyra, they were close. Lyra's constant worry about Bella certainly made that clear, but he didn't think that was it.
There was more to this and she just wasn't saying it.
"What other reason?" he asked leaning in closer to. It didn't look at like he was going to kiss her or anything, but he was close enough to that should he want to, he could probably do it.
