She smiled back at him tentatively. While she didn't question his oath, that didn't mean she was completely out of the woods. For all she knew, Uncle Trystan and Aunt Ambrosia had a specific match in mind for her and wouldn't tell her until such time that it was irreversible. Adrienne let herself shiver at the thought and returned to the conversation at hand, her smile more confident.
"Who knows how a man behaves after he is married," she replied with a shrug as if it bothered her less than it actually did. "I should like to make sure mine does, at least."
She paused, her thoughts inevitably moving back to if their aunt and uncle had any plans for her - though there were surely others in their family older than her who they might want to see married before her, she was still a cousin - an extra mouth to feed that, perhaps - despite how well she may have gotten along with both of them - they wanted to be rid of sooner rather than later. "Have you heard if they have plans for me when we leave Hogwarts?" She asked, though she had a feeling she already knew the question. Likely if he had heard something, her brother would have told her in a trice.
