Tiffany either didn't know the difference, which would have been odd, or she knew better than to press the point. She was a little on edge about the whole Brent-kicking-Phe's-ass thing, as it made her idea of where her loyalty was meant to lie stretch & bend, making her change her mind to whatever was more convenient for the given situation.
"Worn out to puking? You need a day off." she said in a mock-oblivious tone as she took back the leather piece wordlessly, going back to winding it around her wrist for safe-keeping.
ooc. it didn't bother me b/c i love pink, ha ha, but i figured it was time to clean up the look & thought i'd make a new banner while i was at it. plus taylor is probably like 'wtf did i just join here'.

Phe sighed softly as she walked, pushing herself forward with each step. Really, she should of thrown on some flat shoes but she hadn't she donned her heels still, as she always did. Exhaling, she sort of assumed Tiff would put two and two together but she never felt the need to talk about Brent, it was kind of what she figured was an unspoken understanding between the two of them. "Think I just need a few days staying in the castle to recover properly. Less trips back to your house." She shrugged slightly, hand raising to rub the back of her neck again as she cleared her throat. ooc. haha yeah, fair enough. it's alright, pink, but I prefer this. Also, if you need any PHD's or anything I have a couple on here from waaay back when. Theres a couple of resources on here.

Tiff shrugged a little, not meeting the other girl's eye.
"Hm, yeah." she rounded a corner & nearly walked directly into Charlotte Lebeau, opening her mouth to say something, but the small blonde beat her to it.
"Watch it, skelegro." she hissed, elbowing her way between the two taller girls & vanishing behind a portrait doorway before Tiffany had even figured out she'd been insulted - her reflexes certainly weren't what they used to be when it came to general cruelty. Instead of being able to direct her anger at the blonde, she simply seethed & kept walking.
"Ugh, I hate her." she growled under her breath, mentally fantasizing about murdering the smaller girl one of these days.
ooc. I WAS ON YOUR OLD SITE EARLIER TO LOOK FOR THINGS

Phe's gaze was on the floor, making sure she took each step as she was supposed to, not missing a single one. Dampening her lower lip again she exhaled softly as she heard Charlotte speak, her eyebrow raising. "She's a rat." Phe said simply before walking up the stairs, using the wall to stable herself as she did.
"So, you're eating now?" Phe asked, sounding somewhat concerned.
ooc. haha really! man, I can't even log in to that site anymore!

Tiff shot Ophelia a bored little glare.
"Of course I'm eating." she shook her head, frowning a little & rubbing at her arm. "I mean, sometimes I don't, but I'm not.. making an effort not to. I just don't have much of an appetite right now. Besides, Soleus said that he had trouble eating for a bit, too, after his first." She innocently left out that it had only been a day or two & he'd practically gorged himself afterward, his body missing it immediately.

Phe glanced in the general direction of Tiff as she walked down the long corridor that would bring them to the steps of the main entrance hall and therefore to the great hall doors. "Mmm?" Ophelia hummed under her breath, unsure whether she believed it or not. "A bit, Tiff, it's past 'a bit' ago now, it's done, you can't torture yourself over it, or whatever it is your'e doing." The brunette exhaled softly, fingers dragging across the wall of the corridor as she walked. "You need to look after yourself properly or you're not going to be use to anyone and you're just going to make yourself sick." Though, it sounded like a bit of a lecture Phe's tone wasn't mean, or harsh worded, she just sounded concerned.

"Look, I'm sorry if I'm not taking advice from you seriously, right now."
Her words came out a little more cruelly than she meant for them to, but underneath the rudeness, she had a bit of a point. It didn't seem like Ophelia was taking much care of herself these days, & it was hard for Tiffany to take her concern to heart - it almost sounded condescending to her, now, even though she knew deep down that it wasn't meant to be.

Phe glanced sideways, giving Tiff possibly the most unimpressed look ever. "Tiffany-" she started before she could help herself. "I'm coughing up this because you're psycho other half beat the shit out of me, so yes, I think you can take my advice because at least mine isn't self inflicted." Pausing, she dampened her lower lip, head shaking just a little as she realised how it'd come across. "I'm just concerned about you, that's all. I know we don't always see eye to eye but it doesn't mean I want you making yourself sick."

"I'm not doing it on purpose." she hissed, eyes flaring angrily as she spoke, even though she knew her cousin didn't mean any harm by it.
"I want to - I want things to go back to normal. I just need a little time." she was so tired of this, of being this way, of not having her classmates respect or fear her the way they used to, not having her friends around, not having time to care about what other people thought of her - she missed the normalcy of 'girl world' that she seemed to have escaped from sometime over the summer.

Phe felt a little guilty, her gaze dropping for a split second before returning to Tiff. To be fair, Phe was still nursing her broken heart, not that she'd really truly admit it to anyone. "I know-" She spoke with a sigh, her head tilting to the side just a little bit as she looked at her older cousin.
"Normal?" She questioned, eyebrows raising as they reached the steps out of the dungeons and into the lightness of the main entrance. Phe lowered her voice just a little to avoid anyone heading their conversation. "Do you honestly believe it's ever going to go back to how it was? Because I don't. You need to adapt to what you've got now and find a way to be happy with it."

"I don't need to be happy, I need to be effective." she corrected, reciting it carefully from memory. "What use is 'happy' with my situation if I'm no use to anyone else?" she slowed her steps down, now, concentrating on her words. "Happy isn't anything more than a useless state of mind. It comes down to resourceful. Important. Reliable. Dangerous." she fiddled with one of her fingernails, that appeared to be growing a bit longer than the others - she'd file them all later, back into sharper points.

Walking through the door into the great hall, Phe seemed to exhale softly as the place seemed more or less empty, though food was out, people just hadn't got back from town yet, and those that were still in the school were probably waiting for friends to get back so they could get dinner together. "Further proving my point that it's never going to go back to normal." Phe answered, walking down one side of the Slytherin table, slipping in near one of the stone arches that the fire places sat during the winter months.

"You know what I mean." she blushed a little, following Phe & taking a seat across from her instead. "Normal like it is for Soleus, maybe." she chewed her lip, "Or Rowle, or Brent." she ran a hand through her hair awkwardly. She desperately just wanted to feel as in-place as all of the other ranks seemed to, but for now it just felt like she was acting a part. A part that she desperately wanted to actually be, but was just.. behind the curtain.

"Mhmm." Phe sighed, wishing she did understand. When Luke had mentioned his first kill he'd said something about it 'changing the colour of his blood' and she'd tried to understand that, getting her head around it all was a little difficult when she wasn't one herself.
Pulling forwards a pot of steaming hot coffee Phe bit on her lower lip, her gaze raising to meet Tiffs. "Just give it time." Was all she could offer. "You just need to let yourself adjust properly."

Despite the lack of experience to back the other girl's words, it brought a swell of comfort to Tiff's entire body, seeming to warm her from the inside the same way it had when her mother had told her the same thing.
Almost seeming to perk up a little, Tiff grabbed an apple from a nearby dish & used one of the nearest knives to cut it into thin, curving slivers. "Thank you. For this. And bringing me down here."
