Post by Thorfinn Rowle on Jan 19, 2014 7:11:38 GMT
Thorfinn had been holed up in his room for three days, now. This 'not talking to Broderick' thing seemed to have gone from cold quietness to outright hermitude. That, or maybe he'd died, alone in that bedroom. It wasn't until Tiffany showed up to complain about his absence at a raid that it became apparent something was wrong.
"Where's Rowle?" were the first words Tiffany said as she appeared at Broderick's front door. It was lucky that Charlotte hadn't been home. Tiffany stared angrily up at the unspeakable, as if he had something to do with the 'disappearance' of the older, darker death eater.

Ashley had tagged along with her classmate much to the brunette's dismay and peeked her head from behind the girl staring at Broderick with wide doe eyes riddled with concern " what Tiffany meant was....have you seen him at all? we are just..concerned" she admitted.
Broderick frowned at the accusing tone that Tiffany had used on him as he had just finished a long day at work and hadn't been his house for 5 minutes before she appeared. His expression softened as his niece spoke his own concern showing "I haven't seen him in days, at first he was just not talking to me but he literally hasn't left his room I've knocked and asked him if he wants food a few times but like I said....he hasn't been talking to me, I started to think he bailed and was shacked back up at your place" he said nodding at Tiffany.

"He'd better be dead." she said coldly, brushing past Broderick & heading into the house without invitation, marching back toward Thorfinn's room & knocking angrily on the door. It was so loud that it was surprising she didn't dent the wood frame.
"Go away." was a weak reply from behind the door. If Broderick had been the one to knock, it would have been the first thing he'd said to him in weeks.
"Open this fucking door so I can ring your neck. You left us one man short two times too many, and if you don't-" the girl began, only stopping when the loud 'click' of a lock being closed on the other side of the door was heard. Her eyes widened in outrage, jaw dropping, before she patted down the door carefully, checking the area of the wood just below the handle, stepped back, raised a foot & kicked it open.
The BANG and splintering sounds of wood served as an introduction to the door creaking open loudly, slowly, before Tiffany marched inside.

Ashley frowned at Tiffany and followed behind her Broderick behind her, "maybe we should just l-"Ashley turned to leave only to turn back around again when Tiffany kicked the door down. Stepping in after Tiffany she bit on her lower lip and spoke in a soft caring voice "Thorfinn?"
Broderick however was leaned against the door frame arms crossed eyes narrowed scrutenizingly.

There was a large lump in the center of his bed, covered by a mass of tangled up covers & blankets, only the man's arm sticking out to prove that it was where he was hiding, his wand held tightly in his hand - clearly how he had locked the door without getting up.
The room itself was a disaster area, books strewn open with a bubbling cauldron in the corner by the window. A stockpile of dirty dishes, mainly bowls & pots, were scattered on every available surface except for the floor. Two cardinals were perched on the edge of one pot, pecking inside of it to pluck up grains of old, dried out chicken-rice-soup.
Making a disgusted noise in the back of her throat, Tiffany kicked aside a few books & stepped further into the room, toward the bed. "Rowle. Get up, now."

Ashley widened her eyes and gently brushed past Tiffany "oh my gosh, thorfinn" she sat herself down on the edge of the bed and gently pulled back the blankets her fingers brushing through his hair a frown in worry on her face "he is obviously ill Tiffany" turning back to thorfinn she leaned in and brushed her fingers through his scruff cocking an eyebrow at the red spots underneath "awww he has the chicken pox"

Tiffany rolled her eyes & stepped closer to Ashley, ducking down with a frown on her face as she tried to see over or around the blonde while she examined the Death Eater.
Chicken pox.
The smaller brunette leapt back so sharply she smacked into Broderick & continued backing her way into the hallway, pushing back against him as she was in too much of a hurry to try to get around him instead.
Thorfinn himself, however, was much less mobile, groaning softly & pulling the blankets back up over his head poutily, brushing Ashley off in a way, but then snuggling the lump of comforter closer to her leg sleepily. The amount of potions for the itchiness he'd taken clearly had made him a bit drowsy.

Ashley continued to frown as she looked down at thorfinn and gently pulled the blankets back again to see how far along the pox were then rose to her feet covering him back up, with a flick of her wand the books askew began flying back into neat stacks as the empty dishes floating to the kitchen washing themselves "he isn't going anywhere" indulging him only a little she took his blankets off her nails Softly gliding up and down his back a few times "do you need anything?" She asked
Broderick snorted and moved so Tiffany could leave the room "never had chicken pox have you?"

Tiffany shot Broderick a sharp glare, though there was a hint of surprisingly childish nervous fear underneath of it, before she turned back to face the room, saying angrily, "He's not staying in bed for the rest of the week, if that's what you think is going to happen, here. Some of us have work to do."
Thorfinn tensed up, before stretching his back like a content cat & nuzzling sleepily into his pillow again, eyes closed in relaxation. "Some arsenic, maybe." he mumbled, barely awake but enough to be ignoring Tiffany.

Ashley rose to her feet and walked over to Tiffany eyes narrowed for once in her life wearing a fierce expression "how many death eaters have actually had the chicken pox?" She snapped "they are HIGHLY contagious as you are clearly aware considering you are cowering like a child he /is/ staying in bed all week" she snapped.
Broderick's eyes grew wide at Ashley's tone and instantly stepped between the girls "enough. Tiffany is there someone who can fill in for thorfinn?"

"Cowering?" the girl repeated back, stepping forward angrily, "I suppose you'd be the expert on th-" she stepped back when Broderick intervened & glared between the two of them. "No. There isn't. He's Yaxely's replacement. When someone gets sick, their replacement can't just decide to as well." she turned to Thorfinn where he was snoring quietly as if this was entirely deliberate & he was at fault.

Broderick narrowed his eyes slightly at Tiffany then cocked an eyebrow without warning he grabbed Tiffany by the arm not to gently but not enough to actually hurt her, without anymore warning he firmly pushed her face towards thorfinns.
Ashley widened her eyes and scurried after him "WHAT ARE YOUDOING" but if was to late their lips were forcibly touching for a few moments before Broderick stepped back looking pleased "we have a spare bedroom you are Welcome to stay in...if you aren't to busy working" he quipped condescendingly with an annoyingly handsome smirk.

Tiffany's heels dug into the carpet as she tried to force herself to stay in place despite the older, larger man clearly overpowering her. She dug her hands desperately into his arms trying to twist out of his grip before pulling back sharply & panting, bending slightly at the waist as she tried to catch her breath before turning & snarling at him.
"No. Here's what I'll do, though. I can go home & have my replacement take my place." she coughed, scraping at her mouth with her hand feverently. "I swear to merlin, if I'm sick, I'll murder you. Messily."
"Just.. had the carpets.. cleaned." Thorfinn mumbled obliviously, snuggling deeper into his pillow. He clearly didn't have a care in the world.

Ashley glared at Tiffany "the state you will be in I don't think you will be capable of much" she legit snarled threatening Broderick was the last thing someone could do around her.
Broderick heart warmed and slightly terrified slipped at arm around Ashley and kissed her temple "it's alright sweetheart"
Ashley seemed to relax then turned her attention back to thorfinn making him comfy and applying some potion of the wizard equivalent to calomine lotion.

Tiffany squirmed uncomfortably on the spot, elbowing Broderick out of her way to get to the door.
"I'll let them know you're not feeling well." Tiffany sneered at the older death eater from the doorway, muttering just loud enough as she walked away, "See if you can feel much of anything below the waist by the end of this."
