They were just going down to the Great Hall anyway, but he was sure to cast a couple charms to make sure no one broke in again.
He turned back to Julien to give him his full attention, noting his hesitation. Oh. "Not able to work things out?" Well, that was kind of sad. Ansley himself had never been married and had no children of his own to relate, but he hated to see a family broken up. "Maybe some time away will help give you both some clarity so you can work things out." He would hope anyway. "I don't know of anything off-hand, but I can look a bit if you wanted. If you needed, you can stay at my flat for a little while while you looked or got back on your feet." Certainly not moving in permanently as he liked his own space, but he was willing to help out a friend in this way if needed.
"It doesn't seem that way. She hasn't fully talked to me since January. When I stop over it's just short words exchanges." He shrugged a bit as they walked. There wasn't much to speak of about it really. He made his choices and now she was making hers. He wasn't going to fully give up though. His family was very important to him and he was determined to make things right, but he knew he had to give space as well and think of the coming months.
Knowing something off hand wasn't something Julien expected. They had been at the castle all term so it wasn't like they were fully looking all the time.
"Just keeping an eye out would be great. I feel a bit lost without the Daily Prophet. They usually had the ads and things for stuff like that." Shame no one was getting it fixed and rebuilt yet. How were they suppose to get their news. He didn't like WHIM and they weren't really news anyway. Though he did subscribe to another smaller paper, but it just wasn't the same.
"Thank you for the offer, but I couldn't impose. I'll find something or who knows we have a month yet, maybe Liliana will change her mind by then." That was the hopefully thought he could have. He was really hoping for.
"So any plans for summer for you?" He didn't want the man to feel to awkward with his own issues, so asking or even changing the subject was probably best.
