Phe rolled her eyes slightly as she turned on the chair again, swinging her legs over the arm once more. She lifted her lower body just enough to be able to comfortably pull her skirt down a little in order to maintain her decency. "I see." She retorted, eyebrow raised.
"You don't say?" Phe shook her head, smirking a little to herself. "You're forgetting I was at your house, giving your letter, whose bright idea was it to bring Godfrey into the picture? Poor little Godfrey with Soleus, he'll eat her for dinner."

"Not mine," she snorted in disbelief, shaking her head. Despite Soleus' claiming that the entire thing had been Tiffany's fault, it truly wasn't. At least not directly.
Her head snapped up seriously. "No, he won't. Not if he knows what's good for him." she shook her head, "We need that family."

"Mmm." Phe added, she wasn't really bothered about the finer details so she just shrugged it off.
"Well, he can hope he could eat her for dinner." Phe snickered slightly. "Though, Miss prudence probably-" trailing off, Phe grimaced slightly, deciding not to take what she was going to say any further. "There's need and then theres desperation."

"Ashley should suit him fine enough." she said decisively after a moment. "She's.. obedient, quiet, intelligent. She'll do fine." As if her opinion on the matter was so important - in her own head, it was. She'd never let someone she didn't think was suitable go anywhere near her brother.

"So in other words she's not going to smack him around?" Phe answered so quickly it almost sounded like she was snapping. "I mean, I'm sure he thinks he's taken the short straw when really, he's the lucky one, right? Should be counting his lucky stars and what not."

"Neither of them got the short straw." she answered back, so quickly that she nearly cut the other girl off. Her eyes were angry, fiery, now, but it was clear that her anger was placed elsewhere, not directed at the girl in front of her. "The worst thing that could possibly happen to either of them is they aren't truly, madly, deeply in love. Cry me a fucking river." she looked away angrily, immediately thinking of the way that Soleus had so lightly compared his 'horrible' engagement to the one that Tiffany was in. The way that Ashley was so.. sad that she wasn't going to go off & marry someone she'd picked herself, it all made Tiffany so angry that she wanted to scream.

"I was on about you." Phe replied effortlessly, meaning Tiff got the short straw in being engaged to Brent. Sighing, Ophelia crossed one leg over the other as she glanced down at her nails again, thinking for a moment before shrugging softly. "Yeah, well, loves overrated and besides, they know whats expected of them, they have to continue the pure blood line. At least they get along, that makes a change in these arranged marriages." Folding her arms, Phe let her head rest against the back cushion of the chair. "They'll get over it. And I'm sure you could somehow have someone worse than Ashley to have as a sister-in-law, hm?"

"I'm fine." she insisted. "I just think Soleus needs to grow up."
She considered the idea of Ashley as a sister-in-law. "I hadn't even thought of that. I mean, I guess I thought about our families being joined, but not necessarily all of the details." it was incredibly uncomfortable to think about, so she shook the thought from her mind quickly. "Guess if I plan on trying to seduce anything out of Bode, I should do it before we're married-family." she added, half-sarcastically.

"You sure about that?" Phe questioned, eyebrow raised. "I could think of a few people who need to do just that." Phe added, indirectly.
Exhaling softly, Phe closed her eyes for a moment, somewhat sleepily, her body tired but her head buzzing with thoughts, she wasn't about to fall asleep, but her eyes closed as she listened to what Tiff had to say. "Well, it's not going to happen yes, is it. So I guess you have time to go over the finer details. Still gives time for Ashley to skip the country in search of 'true love'" Phe added, somewhat sarcastically.

Tiff's eyes narrowed, wondering if that was a personal jab, but she let it slide & concentrated on the idea of Ashley running away to marry someone else.
"She'd be an idiot, to do that." she replied, even though she could tell Phe wasn't being completely serious anyway. "There are girls lining up to say hello to him, and she gets to marry him. Leave it to some romantic to be ungrateful for what they get. Always want the knight on a white horse, don't they?"

Phe smiled a little, hand moving to tuck a piece of hair behind her ear. "Mmm, people will do anything for love." She answered letting it come out a little more heartfelt than she had intended. "Something like that, best get Soleus on a horse, hey?-" Joking, Phe lifted her head, eyes flitting open. "I'm sure it'll all go to plan."

Tiff looked mildly disgusted, as if Ophelia was describing, in detail, something particularly unpleasant.
"People, generally, are rather stupid, then." she insisted, pulling her feet up under herself so that she was tucked into a small ball, letting her hands rest on both knees carefully. "Soleus wouldn't do anything to get on our mother's bad side. He's not that much of an idiot." she said, her words harsh but her tone surprisingly affectionate.

Phe knew, in the back of her mind what she was thinking about - torturing herself, somewhat, and she knew Tiff was smart enough to link it all together, not that she'd admit to it.
"Didn't we know that already?" she answered, rhetorically. "I wasn't suggesting he would. It's the other party that concerns me. Ashley has a moral code, as far as I'm aware, I'm just concerned that when the moment comes it's going to make her realise this isn't the life she's chosen, yes, she speaks all about doing what is right, what she's told to do, but do you think she's strong willed enough to go into a loveless marriage when she doesn't really have to? She could just leave."

"When she doesn't have to." Tiff repeated with a scoff, rolling her eyes. "Technically, she's of age. But her father is barely on our side, do you really think she'd be stupid enough to rock the boat by walking away from this? She'll end up dead in a gutter."

Phe thought about it, her statement had come out a little stupidly but it kind of made sense. Lowering her voice a little, Phe sighed "That's true, yes, but say she found someone between now and then, with equal blood status. Do you think the dark lord is going to throw a tiff because she's not marrying one pureblood for another? He needs as many of us as he can if he wants to cleanse this world."
ooc. my internet died and I lost my first reply to this and it was so much better than this one lmao but I can't remember what I wrong so have this jumbled piece of mess.
