She smirked a little, "As adorable as I'm sure it is," she somewhat sarcastically used his word for it, "sounds a bit useless. Probably doesn't eat much, though, what are they, like this big?" she held two hands up in the approximate estimation of the size of a pomeranian.

"well sometimes things don't need to be measured by their usefulness" Broderick shrugged and smiled obliviously "sometimes things just grow on you and you want them around because of how they make you feel"

"Whatever you say." she smirked, though her tone wasn't rude - just confused. She clearly couldn't wrap her head around the concept. She understood the idea of things growing on oneself, but not necessarily to the point of keeping them without a use. She was personally quite fond of her snake, & had learned to appreciate it as a companion on top of a messenger, but she wouldn't have it as one without the other.

"don't have anything or anyone in your life like that?" Broderick asked with a frown in confusion "you don't have anyone in your life that is just there because you love them and want to be around them?" he looked sympathetic for the girl but tried not to let it show not wanting to offend her.

She gave him an odd look, & replied before she could stop herself, "What's the point of that?" she immediately realized how much of a sociopath that made her seem, and quickly backtracked to correct herself. "That's not - that came out wrong. Look, I have things I'm attached to. That might not have been the main reason that I ended up with them in the first place, but that's how it is."

Broderick certainly looked taken aback and cocked an eyebrow "um....sorry?" he commented in confusion then shrugged and half-smiled in apology "sorry if I over stepped any boundaries or hit a nerve I was simply curious"

"I wasn't - you didn't, I'm just -" her nervous stuttering caught the attention of Predaytor, the snake flinging its body angrily against the bars of it cage roughly enough to scoot it an inch or so on the tabletop, his hood flaring out angrily as he hissed at Broderick, targeting him as the source of Tiff's anxiety or discomfort.
"Thanks for your time." she blushed, pushing her chair back & standing up sharply all in a single movement, reaching to grab the cage.

Broderick watched the snake and although he did step back from it, he hardly looked terrified "Nice Kitty" he commented playfully condescending then looked back up at Tiff with a charming grin still plastered on his face "I feel like I have made you uncomfortable, if you'd like I could buy you a tea" he cocked his head to the side and widened his eyes hopefully.

She shook her head in slight disbelief, giving him a small disdainful look, "Don't mock him, my pride couldn't take it & I'd hate to let him make a mess." she insisted - not so much a threat as a very stern stop it.
Watching him curiously as he apologized, she quirked an eyebrow, wondering if that was an attempted come-on or if he was being genuinely remorseful. She slowly turned the rest of her body to face him & finally spoke, "I don't drink tea. I'd let you buy me something stronger."

Broderick eyed Tiffany for a moment not looking to worried completely oblivious, he did however stop not wanting to be rude or upset her, he smiled warmly then cocked an eyebrow looking amused as he pondered for a moment "alright then" he shrugged knowing she was of age and beckoning her to follow him.

Her steps toward him were stumbled at first, her body telling her a very stern no while she tried to convince it that it was perfectly safe. She was not one to be 'summoned', usually. Even when it was as innocent as Broderick gesturing for her to follow him out, it felt as threatening as when her fiancé would draw her nearer. Inwardly insisting that it was safe, she gave him a quick, reassuring look, & followed him toward the door, clutching the cage in one hand.
"Where are we going?" she asked curiously.

"Leaky cauldron" Broderick commented and shrugged as he looked back at her and smiled warmly "I worked there a few years ago, how I met my best mate actually" He left it at that not going into too much detail then innocently paused his walking until Tiffany was back beside him.

Esma kept a room there - she wondered if the blonde was up there, hiding out. She would vanish for months at a time, now, & then run into Tiffany when she'd been in town for weeks without having even mentioned it to her. It was an effective way to make a loveless family even more unloving-feeling. Tiffany hadn't even realized how much she cared until she didn't have it anymore.
"Haven't been in ages." she commented innocently, falling into step with the much taller man, letting the cage swing a little in time with her steps, Predaytor almost immediately falling asleep in the gentle rocking.

"any particular reason why?" Broderick asked casually making small talk as they walked towards the bar, as they reached it he held the door open for Tiffany to enter before he did "ladies first" He said softly the charming grin still apparent on his face.

She gave a well-practiced little shake of her head as she shrugged, ducking under his arm carefully to step into the pub. It wasn't dim or dark or anything uninviting, in fact, quite the opposite, but it was certainly less vibrant that the streets that they'd just come in from, & it took a moment for her eyes to adjust to their new surroundings. The bustling sounds seemed to disturb the snake, causing it to lift it's head from the coil it had created of itself, taking in it's surroundings as well. He had never been here - his confusion was evident in his sudden restlessness. Either not noticing or not caring, Tiffany continued on & headed further inside, grabbing the first available booth & slinking in to it, tucking Predaytor's cage up between herself & the window so that he could watch his surroundings.
"You said you used to work here." Tiffany prompted as Broderick took his own seat, raising an eyebrow - she hadn't asked a question, but it was clear that she was expecting an explanation or story on his end.
