After his next comment Violet then covered her cheek and gasped saying in a state of panic,"What do you mean it looks awful?! Do I look awful?!" Then she turned away from him still holding her cheek saying,"Oh Merlin don't look at me..." Violet then tried covering it with her hair.
Oh dear.
It seemed Violet had gone into a state of...
SELF CONCIOUSNESS AND LOW SELF ESTEEM!
Oh no! That hadn't been his intention at all! With a sympathetic laugh, he rushed on, waving his hands to get her to stop being upset.
"No no no! That's not what I meant... It's just a little bruised... Really Vi... You look beautiful..."

OH MERLIN.
What had he done!? How could he have said that!? Right. Well now she probably thought of him as some freak who couldn't move on. Yeah, she always looked lovely, but he couldn't say that anymore! He wasn't her boyfriend! She'd think he was weird! Why did he have to mess everything up? Why couldn't he just be normal for once!?
"I mean... erm... that's a nasty bruise.... but Mrs. Skylar used to be an Auror, right? She should be able to fix it right up." He was such an idiot. Who was also bad at talking to girls. And all people in general. How in the world had he gotten Violet in the first place? Running his hand through his hair, he muttered how much of an idiot he was, not really aware that Violet could totally hear him.
