"Wait." Tiff grabbed Ashley before she could leave to make sure they actually ended up at the same place, then quickly stepped forward to catch her footing as they landed. She immediately blushed & let go of the blonde, giving her a weak apologetic look before walking again.

Ashley simply smiled at Tiffany and headed for Brodericks steps as they walked down the long pathway to his large but not obnoxious home, he unlocked the door as the 2 girls reached the steps then walked inside lights instantly flickering on, faint cluttering could be heard in the kitchen as the kettle and dishes began to move themselves preparing tea for the 3 of them.

She'd been in home-y places like this before. Everything around her was familiar, the warm scent from the kitchen of whatever meal had been previously cooked there, the clearly well-lived in furniture & the photos hung around the place in care. She'd raided & torn apart tons of these homes. She'd never lived in one before. Thinking back, she'd never been invited into one before. Following Ashley further into the house & resisting the urge to cling onto her like a child, she glanced around curiously. It was a totally different experience to be in a place like this with the lights on, no screaming or crying - without her mother nearby.
She followed into the kitchen & suddenly felt homesick. She missed the cold, dark wood finish of their home, the dusty-cornered windows & floors that had been so worn down over the years that they'd grown shiny & almost soft. This house was too fresh, clean, family-friendly.. it made her head begin to spin. She sharply grabbed one of the counter-ledges to balance herself, clearing her throat, embarrassed.

Broderick cocked an eyebrow at Tiffany and watched her curiously for a moment , Ashley frowned in concern and cocked her head to the side "Are you ok Tiffany?" Ashley asked with wide eyes, Broderick watched the 2 of them between preparing the tea after the kettle sounded

"Lost my balance." she said abruptly, glancing at her shoes 'curiously' as if worried that the problem was there.
Adjusting the top of one of her boots, she let her wand drop out of her sleeve carefully & tucked it into her boot instead in a single, swift & well-practiced movement. The sound of movement behind them, in the room they'd just left, made her head snap back around in suspicion, hand twitching in preparation to grab her wand. She paused & listened for a moment, then sighed softly when a small ball of fur trotted happily into the kitchen, completely oblivious to any of her anxiety.

Ashley's eyes lit up she quickly scurried over to Edgar, she scooped him up nuzzling the puppy affectionately "hello handsome" she grinned and kissed the animals damp nose affectionately Broderick smiled at Ashley and his puppy fondly "this is Edgar" Ashley commented in the voice of a child as she held up the ball of fluff to Tiff Edgar's stubby legs wobbled in Ashley's arms his tail spinning like a helicopter, as he panted happily lapping up the attention.

Tiff stepped back a bit with a small smirk, "Lovely." she commented, eying the dog with a look of semi-disinterest, before letting her eyes flicker back up to Broderick knowingly - he'd mentioned Edgar during his interview with her, but she hadn't learned it's name before now.

Ashley grinned obliviously snuggling into Edgar and then plopped him on the floor and began to play with him ,Broderick stepped into the kitchen and poured himself and Ashley some lemon tea and Tiffany some hot water then placed it on tray that floated behind him as he walked back into the room.

She was genuinely surprised that he'd remembered. Almost flattered. Almost.
Relaxing just a little, she carefully selected a chair & sat gingerly on the edge of it, trying to get her nerves used to the house & her surroundings in this particular room. There were family pictures in small frames & a few dents in the cushions of the couch where it had clearly been sat on the most - it was exactly like she'd imagine these people would live.
"Why aren't you at the Ministry today?" she asked curiously, turning her attention to Broderick even though her eyes didn't meet his.

Ashley perked up at the sight of lemon tea, she removed herself from the floor and sat down on the couch sipping on the warm liquid happily with a happy hum. Broderick turned his attention to Tiffany with an eyebrow quirked and shrugged "I am on vacation for the next 2 weeks"

"Any occasion?" she asked, as she moved her legs out of the way for Ashley to pass & get herself some tea. Tiff's eyes slowly travelled to the dog lying happily on the floor, panting, clearly a little worn-out from playing so hard.
Part of her wondered if he was taking his vacation time to simply.. get out of there.

Broderick shook his head "not really janelle was going to leave anette home while she went to Paris with Warner but he needs to travel with ..work so she is bringing anette and I am left to my own devices"
Ashley peeked up and smiled brightly "noooo we will have fun! " she nodded happily and snuggled next to him "lots of fun"

Tiffany didn't even flinch when Warner was mentioned - she was getting better with that.
Ashley snuggling up to Broderick sent a surge of angry, white-hot jealousy through her. The last time she'd had any sort of moment of affection toward family had been Soleus. There was no 'snuggling', obviously. Though, in fact, her one hand had shot up like she was about to hug him, which had been a huge milestone for them, so there was that.
Clearing her throat, she looked away quickly & let her eyes focus on the small dog instead, furrowing her brows at it as if trying to figure it out. She was tempted to try getting inside of it's mind, fairly sure she'd simply hear the faint chirping of crickets, but held back. Greater witches & wizards than her had tried & had reported that it was such a sensory overload that they'd never been the same again.

Broderick smiled at Ashley and kissed her temple affectionately then turned his attention back to Tiffany.
Ashley crinkled her nose up happily as she was snuggled then closed her eyes sleepily, Edgar trotted over to Tiffany and flopped onto his back at her feet panting.

Oh god, there was something she was supposed to do here. Something.. something..
She looked up at Broderick, then Ashley, her expression only able to be described as 'guh?'
