”Don't be embarrassed. If it makes you feel any better I’m a werewolf. That gets pretty weird too certain times of the month.” he admitted with a laugh, trying to make Astrid feel better because seemed to be uncomfortable for the little slip up. He wondered to himself if she had ever injured anyone with her icy superpowers. That surely wasn’t an appropriate question for a second time meeting someone. At least he managed to get her number this time. ”That’s pretty cool though. You can ice out your enemies like Sub-Zero from Mortal Combat.” Alfie said out loud to himself, realizing he should have left that comment to himself. He definitely entered the music store too stoned today.
It was hard to tell if Astrid was pleased about her potential new purchase. Surely, she'd prefer a cello. Alfie gestured to the icy guitar nonchalantly, ”Hey, if you want to learn, I can teach you. The frost bitten strings will be an easy fix…” he offered her with a smile, curious if she’d take the offer.

Astrid opened her mouth to say something, then snapped it shut abruptly. So, despite appearances, Alfie did have experience in being an outcast. There were certainly similarities - in light of it all, werewolves were still viewed as untrustworthy in many communities. And what was Astrid to say about that? I'm sorry? That didn't seem to cut it. So she said nothing, looking down at the palms of her hands. Though Alfie did know what it was like to be different, Astrid wondered if he understood how to be one of a kind. A muggleborn in a blood elitist society, with special ice powers on top of that? She didn't feel much better about the situation, even with Alfie's bravado.
"Who?" asked Astrid, looking confused and her self pity spell was broken. "I'd like to think I have no enemies, but that would be much too hopeful of me," said Astrid grimly. She was certain there were people out there who would be interested to know more about her abilities, even if it meant pulling her limb from limb to find the source of it. It was a dour thought, one that Astrid pushed away eagerly.
Alfie offered to teach Astrid how to play, and she offered him a genuine smile. "Yes, alright," she agreed with a not. "What may I offer you in return payment? I have gold," said Astrid, knowing that services such as these came at a price. Nothing was for free. She glanced at the guitar and sighed. It seemed she would be returning to her musical roots after all.

Alfie smiled when Astrid asked 'who?' after he lamely mentioned the Mortal Combat fighter. Mentally cringing at letting his inner and outer nerd seep out of him. "Oh-No one." he answered quickly with an easygoing laugh, waving away the Sub-Zero comment because she probably wasn't much of a video game fan. She seemed far too pleasant too have any enemies. Alfie had a feeling like Esther would either love or hate her, which was an interesting thought right now with Astrid in front of him.
Astrid seemed to be keen to the idea of learning guitar from him and he couldn't help but mentally pump his fist in victory. She asked him about payment and mentioned having gold. He shook his head in protest. "Oh, no, keep your gold." he chuckled with a smile as he scratched the back of his neck, feeling awkward at the idea of taking payment. "I dunno-you don't have to pay me." Alfie insisted, genuinely meaning it. He liked any reason to jam and if he had an opportunity to teach a pretty lady how to play 'Smoke on the Water', or a bit of 'Wonder Wall', that was only an added bonus. Though he knew he'd never offer a male or unattractive female the same.
Shrugging lazily with a laugh, "You can pay me in beer if you insist. A nice dark ale or IPA always hits the spot." Alfie shared, visualizing the perfect brew now that he talking about it. "Do you really wanna learn?" he asked her curiously, wondering if she'd take him on the offer. It would be an easy way to see Astrid again..

Astrid's brow crinkled in confusion. "What? It is only fair. You pay for a service. It is a transaction," she reminded Alfie with a conflicted look. And with the way he was looking at her, a sort of longing twinge to his gaze, she wondered if he did have some sort of payment in mind that had nothing to do with material goods. Astrid's breathing stuttered, and her gaze flickered down to his lips. She had wondered what it would be like to kiss him, to know if he tasted like the plants he grew, if he was a gentle and attentive lover as he was a friend.
Flushing scarlet, Astrid blinked and brought herself back to the here and now. "In beer?" Astrid echoed. She managed to smooth out the expression on her face that was dangerously close to disgust. She'd never understood the allure of alcohol, especially not beer. It just tasted like burnt grass. "Alright. I will pay you in beer," she decided with a firm nod. She glanced down at the guitar, excitement bubbling in her chest. "Yes, I do really want to learn. And no, it is not just so I can see you again," teased Astrid, playful in a manner she'd never seen before.
