She raised an eyebrow at that, wondering if Ashley really thought that she'd lay her loyalty with her instead of her brother.
"Right, well, look, I'm sure you two are passionate & sweet & whatnot.." She looked up as the two mugs were set in front of them. "But you should put a cap on it. Passionate love doesn't last, Ashley. Strong love does. Love built over time."

"it's not like that" Ashley clenched her jaw and slammed her hands on the table aggressively "don't talk down to me!" she barked "I am fully aware of what love is Tiffany" she snapped passionately "I apologize for telling you I wasn't going to tell anyone but as you can see I am a bit flustered as of late Merlin's beard do you know how sick I am of people telling me what I feel and who I am and what I can handle alright so I had a moment where I nearly cried because I was face to face with Fenrir Greyback and went to your house unsupervised but you know what given the chance I would have defended myself maybe I would have lost maybe I would have died and he would have had me for dinner but I would have made damn sure he choked on me" she growled "I am /not/ just some feeble pathetic person I lay low and keep to myself because yes I am not a fan of confrontation but that doesn't mean I am as damn fragile as everyone thinks I am!"

Tiffany blinked, eyebrows raising as she leaned back from the other girl & a few other patrons turned to look at them curiously.
"You're making a scene." She muttered warningly. She wasn't about to be dragged in for ministry questioning because Ashley Godfrey was mad at her. "Stop. Talking. So. Aggressively." She warned.

"then stop pissing me off" Ashley snapped angrily. Obviously she would never make a complete scene and give anything away about Tiffany she liked her and that would not only put her but Soleus in jeopardy too so she did fall silent but didn't seem much more relax she was getting passed being upset and just generally pissed off at everyone lately and herself for listening to those who made her feel helpless and like she needed to be taken care of, undermining her confidence when really she might not have been subjected to the daily gore and torture that Tiffany and Soleus were but she knew she could take care of herself.

"It seems that would be easier said then done." Tiffany pointed out as she took a sip from the steaming mug in her hands.
"I'm not undermining you." She lied, "I'm sure you'd die very bravely." She quirked one eyebrow before sighing, "look, Ashley, I didnt come here to insult you. If it makes things easier then feel free to yell at me all you like."

Ashley gave Tiffany a look "yes you are" she snapped then frowned "literally everyone has been you,Soleus, Thorfinn that man in Diagon Alley and I mean I guess I am used to it now that I keep hearing it, its making me undermine myself and I am not weak, I am not going to yell at you Tiffany" she gave the bruentte a look and frowned "But I am not going to sit here and have you tell me how I feel and what you think I do and don't know"

She sighed once more as she set the mug back on the table, scarred hands resting on either side of it with her palms flat against the table.
"I don't know what you feel or know, but I can tell you when to stop acting like a child. From experience." she shook her head. "You need to base your decisions on the future, not on the present." was her advice - good enough on its own if the blonde could take it seriously. "Soleus is busy. And he's a creature of habit, not of love. There are few enough people he's going to let in, and he does it over time. Slowly & carefully. He can seem reckless, but he's calculated." she ran her fingers through the length of her hair.
"And on behalf of both of us, you should make decisions based on the notion that you cannot take care of yourself. It's fine if you truly can, but letting yourself think that you can't will keep you out of a lot more trouble."

Ashley locked her jaw and glared at Tiffany "I am allowed to be upset Tiffany, how would you feel if your fiance decided that they wanted to end something that pretty much made your mother, someone who you valued the opinion of more than anything, devastated and someone that you wanted in your life and around you, decided that they couldn't be because it was too dangerous, I'm not telling him not to, I'm not going and crying to my mother, or telling his. I'm keeping to myself in the library where I belong. You happened to ask to talk to me about it, but now that I am, I am being childish? umhmm. No I'm not you just, I don't know were trying to let me vent to you and now that I have don't want to hear it, that is fine, but stop making this out to not be a big deal because, although I am aware we are /not/ the same person and our dynamics are not even close to the same, if your fiance wanted to dump you because he thought you couldn't handle whatever it was he was involved with you would probably be even more upset then I am so how about you just drop it and let me leave" she snapped.

Tiffany managed to take a few sips of her tea in the time that Ashley spoke to her, almost too tired to keep up, but making sure she caught each word.
"If my fiance wanted to end things with me to protect me, I'd realize that maybe something bigger than just the two of us was taking place." she said honestly. "Of course I'd be upset if I were you, but that wouldn't give me the right to.." she trailed off & shook her head. "As strange as it is, Ashley, I'm looking out for you."

Ashley said looking upset she didn't understand why she needed to hear this again. she was dealing with it, ok so she was sad and kept to herself, but she wasn't bothering anyone, or telling anyone what was going with her, she kept to herself and was trying to get past it but no one seemed to get that they were acting as if she ran through the hallways screaming why doesn't Soleus want me. which she /wasn't/ "I don't understand why you are trying to make me feel bad for feeling a certain way" she looked down at her hands confused "I understand why he wants to end it I-I'm not saying he shouldn't do you think I want to feel this way? why do you think I didn't tell him? and I told you?! I don't want him to know because it's easier for both of us to just move on you are making it out like I am going off and crying to every single person in the world and saying oh woe is me he doesn't want me but our love was forever /I'm not/ I am perfectly aware of WHY he ended it. "stop talking to me as if I am being over dramatic when like I said all I have been doing is keeping to myself and spending more time in library"

"Because when you're upset, people will take notice." she finally exhaled, not wanting to say it out loud, not wanting to admit it to herself. "People will notice & it's not going to stay a secret. Not with you guarding it." She eyed the blonde curiously. Ashley took 'honest to a fault' practically to a t.

Ashley pursed her lips "you really don't know my reputation around here do you?" she asked softly "about 3 people you and Soleus included will notice, know who else? Thorfinn who would already know anyway and Broderick who lets face it I know is going to eventually be thrown into the situation it's only a matter of time so really trust me when I say me going to the library and busying myself with my studies is not going to raise any red flags I don't have any other friends" she admitted with a slight blush.

Tiffany rolled her eyes in frustration, before saying coldly, "I didn't say anyone would care, I said they'd notice." she knew her words sounded cruel, but it was true - she had been in the same boat. People didn't spend time around her as 'friends' and as soon as she wasn't interesting, they dropped her. It didn't stop suspicion from raising, though.
"Look. Just.. let it out now. Get it all over with." she insisted.

"no offense Tiffany but you are now more than ever the last person I-I would be comfortable with letting all emotions out to I-I just..I'm sorry I promise I would never do anything to compromise you or your brothers position you know how I feel about him I just told you and even if you don't believe me on that you can on this" she locked her eyes on Tiffany's and looked at her sternly "I would never do something to put him or anyone I know he cares about in danger I know you think people will notice but they really wont I have been invisible since I started at this school if I am spoken to I am polite and that will remain the same but for the most part I just sit in class quietly and do my work in the library or my dorm when I am not with Charlotte or my uncle"

Tiff felt a twitch hit her at the mention of Charlotte - there had been talk about having her knocked out of the gene pool when her & Thorfinn had broken up, but had been assured that she wasn't going to be an issue.
"Right. At any rate, drink that. It'll go cold." she nodded to the untouched mug in front of Ashley.
