At the reminder of a tour Higgs gave a little 'oh, of course', because it had genuinely slipped his mind. He waved her offer of self-stirring spells off, mostly because Higgs was so used to doing things the Muggle way, he often forgot that there were plenty of magical aids. "Putting it on a low heat will do the same trick," he explained with a small shrug before proceeding to do just that. "Come on, then," he told Ashleigh with urging her to follow him as they walked back into the living room, which she had, of course, seen when they had Flooed in, but Higgs paused so she could inspect the room properly. Before carrying on through the rest of the house, ever so often pausing to point out a particular feature or explain the difficulties of finding the appropriate shade of green for something (thought that was mostly done jokingly since a lot of the parts in the house genuinely didn't have green to them).
"Fundamental," Higgs repeated as they walked. "Do you think that, perhaps," Higgs said glancing over at Ashleigh. "You're making it obnoxiously too complex for no real reason?" He suggested. Higgs was not a man who over-analysed things. It could have very well been the lack of critical thinking he had absorbed in school, or more likely, Higgs' wish for things not to be particularly complicated, but the whole explanation that Ashleigh was providing seemed rather... unnecessary, to Higgs. "If you genuinely think it's an incompatible match in long term, then I'm not sure you're not dooming the whole relationship to begin with," Higgs told her honestly. "Does he make you happy?" Higgs asked because the descriptions Ashleigh had offered so far didn't exactly involve any degree of happiness, unless Higgs was going to ascribe 'lack of tension' due to no longer feeling 'unbearable' as 'happiness'.
