To Astoria's horror, Zacharias didn't seem to be shooting down the idea immediately. Though even though she was not listening completely close, she was pretty sure he had just defended her a little against her mother. She tuned back in to the conversation from her moment of shock in time to here her mother respond to that. "Oh, don't mistake me, Zacharias, I have no problem with Astoria having a job, I simply worry that she isn't focusing on her long term plans and that she is using it to hide from her responsibilities." Astoria knew it was an expectation for every purblooded daughter to marry and continue the family line, and she figured Zacharias was very familiar with that as well. While her mother sounded callous and rude, it was how she had been raised, and it was extrodinarily normal for a pureblood. Astoria was fairly unnormal for a pureblood, and everything fell on her since her sister had the smarts to get out while she still could.

"Mother, maybe we should have talked about this before Zacharias arrived," Astoria said in a bit of a whisper. She gave a nervous smile at Zacharias that she didn't consider could be construde as her actually being interested in the proposition.

"Nonsense Astoria, I wanted to surprise the both of you, I thought it would cheer you up, as you've been so down the past few weeks." Astoria closed her eyes so that her mother couldn't seen her rolling them. Yea, she'd been down, probably had something to do with visions of inferi like creatures and nightmares of being brutally tortured to death, but hey, what had she to complain about? Astoria was at a loss for words. She looked to Zacharias hoping he would see how insane this was.
