Broderick sighed and sat down on the couch beside her on the couch his fingers brushing her hair delicately in comfort "we all make mistakes sometimes don't beat yourself up over it"

She tensed up immediately. The only person who ran his fingers through her hair did it to get a good grip on a fistful of it.
"I need to be able to walk properly. I can't go around limping like a cripple for a few days." she pouted, her voice more frustrated & sad than angry. She felt her scalp crawling at the feeling of his fingers, but the sensation wasn't entirely unpleasant. She was pleased to be able to sense much of anything at all.

Broderick chuckled and shook his head "you wont Thorfinn is actually a pretty good healer maybe you should try being less hostile he might make the process that much faster" he winked cheekily.

"I've never known anyone less likely than him to take good vibes as payment." she pointed out, her tone a little cruel, now. Obviously she respected him enough as a pureblood but that wouldn't stop her from pointing out his faults - ie, his lack of financial safety.
"I've only splinched once before. I'm going to look like such a moron when I get back." she said, sitting up a little straighter & turning to face forward on the couch, her back taut & straight, no longer resting at all against the cushions.

Broderick glared at her remark "you would do well to not talk about him like that again" he snapped and rose to his feet "well now you did twice it's not the end of the world"

She gave him a roll of her eyes & turned herself to lay back on his couch again as he stood up, flapping a hand.
"Perhaps we're even, now." she told him coldly, glaring at the wall. Thorfinn chose that moment to return & sit down to start wrapping her wound.
"Easy." she snapped at him, wincing away in pain. Thorfinn rolled his eyes to himself & then looked her straight in the eye as he yanked the bandage around her painfully tight, forcing her to look away to muffle a groan of pain.

"last I checked Thorfinn didn't abuse me" Broderick snapped coldly "he has actually earned a reason for me to defend him" he snarled in annoyance then rose to his feet walking into the kitchen to get himself a cup of tea flying open cupboard doors and slamming them closed in his anger.

"Who doesn't what?" Thorfinn blinked curiously, totally lost & confused, now.
Tiffany was too busy trying to pull air in through her gritted teeth in pain to even snark anything back. Thorfinn gave her a short little glare. "Until you can guarantee that there's no hyena dander in that room, you're staying here."
"Didn't you hear? I'm not welcome." Tiffany snapped back at Thorfinn, their conversation being held at a volume clear enough to be heard throughout the floor.
"Then you're taking my room."
Tiffany stared back at him angrily for a long moment before turning her glare to the opposite wall instead. Thorfinn hauled himself to his feet to inform Broderick.
"Dude." he poked his head into the kitchen. "Tiff's sleeping on the couch. Well, by sleeping, I mean.. ok, yeah, she's staying on the couch. She gives you any shit & she's sleeping in the garden." he added, apologetically. He didn't want to force this girl onto Broderick or into his life - in fact, it was the last thing that he wanted to do, but he needed to make sure she stayed safe, for the sake of their cause.

Broderick frowned and shook his head "thats fine I don't care I'm mostly upset because she is clearly mentally destroyed" he sighed deeply and shook his head "she insulted you and said it was even for me getting upset that Brent abuses her it's not even close to the same situation and yet she just" he shook his head and growled lowly "I'm glad I don't see Yaxley at work because i'd probably lose my job and die cursing his psychotic ass."

"Stop." Thorfinn said shortly, looking away from Broderick with a frown. He appreciated Broderick standing up for him, but he didn't want to have to hear him put down his only other friend. "I - thanks, though." he cleared his throat & quickly made his way to his room.
Tiffany was stretched across the couch, now, wand held loosely against the palm of her hand as her fingers from both hands picked aggressively at a scab that was on her knee, her good knee, that was, probably just from running & scuffing it in the woods.

"oh right forgot he was your friend too" Broderick scowled under his breath he /really/ really didn't like Brent "she can stay here I don't care" Broderick stepped into the living room but only to get to the stairs and head for his office "if you need anything I'll here you" was all he said, Broderick never talked about his office it held top secret official ministry work that only he and other unspeakable were authorized to see.

Tiff perked up curiously, chewing her lip & quirking one eyebrow to try to peer at where Broderick was heading or what he was doing, her intrigue peaked, making her feel alert & perfectly focused. She paused her movements, fingers pausing, the tips dabbled in thick, sticky, half-dried blood.

Broderick disappeared down the hall and walked through what looked like just an ordinary wall after mumbling a password softly.

Tiff paused, then chewed her lip & slowly climbed up from the couch, gently kicking her shoes aside so she was left in stockings, padding along carefully, barely making a sound at all. She bit down on her lip & gently touched the walls, trying to find some sort of a passage or some kind of clue, eyes narrowed curiously as she worried her lip between her teeth.

Broderick hearing that his tea had finished rose to his feet from his office chair and mumbled the password as he left his office only to be met with Tiffany practically nose to nose with her, he pushed her backwards gently careful not to hurt her so she wouldn't see inside his office then narrowed his eyes "what were you doing?"
