Thorfinn leaned against his bedroom door with a frown, listening for the sounds of Tiffany slamming her bedroom - Broderick's bedroom door shut. Her nightly ritual. Almost opening up, then shutting down completely. When the slam was followed by silence, he knew the coast was clear, tiptoeing past the bedroom door and heading into the kitchen. With a furrowed brow, he dug around in the liquor cabinet near the door and found a bottle of spiced rum he'd left there earlier, sighing contently as he carried it to the counter, flicking his wand to summon a glass.
Shoving the bottle behind himself and straightening up immediately at the sound of someone behind him, he raised his wand threateningly.
"Oh. It's you." He relaxed considerably at the sight of his roommate, reaching up to scratch the back of his neck with the tip of his wand. "I thought you were Lestrange." he turned back to the drink he was preparing, holding the bottle up wordlessly. "Did you want one?" The air was a little tense. With Tiffany in the house, it wasn't easy to relax for long. Not in this house, at least. This was his home, he felt like she was another intruder, though, to be fair, he supposed that could be how she felt about the dozens of strangers milling around her own house at any given time.

Broderick made a yelping noise and placed his hand to his heart as he turned into the kitchen "bloody hell" he cleared his throat a little embarrassed that he was so unprepared for someone to be standing on his kitchen "yeah...hoq are you feeling " he cleared his throat and half smiled Broderick wasn't sure where they stood at this point he knew they were better and he didn't hate him anymore but Thorfinn and him really hasn't had a chance to talk with him then Tiffany being sick.

"Much better, now that the monster's in her crypt.." he replied, dropping the other man's gaze to look at his drink. He summoned another glass & poured it to match his own, holding it out to Broderick. No ice, no mix - just neat.

Broderick snorted at Thorfinn's comment " funny" he took the glass accepting the drink then had a sip when he finished pouring it "thanks" he nodded cheers taking a sip then paused for a moment gathering his thoughts before he spoke "are..um...are we okay?"

He looked up at him and blinked.
"I'm not thrilled that you let that cretin into our home, but I suppose we're fine. Why, was there something you needed to say?" His look was almost challenging, maintaining eye contact as he took a slow sip of his drink.

Broderick snorted at what he called Tiffany then shook his head "not really no, if you're fine then I'm fine" he took a sip of the drink and half-smiled hopefully. Clearly Ashley had been diligent about keeping her and Thorfinn their secret.

He smiled back, though it was slightly tense, and took a sip of his own drink. It wasn't Broderick he was tense with, just in general.
"Are you done babysitting for the night, then?"

Broderick smirked and nodded " yes I am done baby sitting for the night " he leaned forward and rest his elbows on the table and sighed deeply "I really shouldn't have got her sick I thought I was helping her but clearly I'm just a dumb ass"

"Well." Thorfinn snorted, "I could have told you that." He smirked a tiny bit as he looked up.
"These people.. my coworkers, they aren't your responsibility. You know that, right?"

Broderick snorted "I am aware most of them I am not even fond of...but I can not help feeling a sense of attachment to her alright she just...she has had it rough but I understand I'm sorry I didn't think of that before...and I uh...I'm sorry about...you know" he didnt want to just bring it up again and cause a fight when they were finally talking.

Thorfinn waved him off once more. "We all had it rough." He reminded him, a little bluntly, thought not rudely. "I'm glad it's over - at least mostly."

Broderick blinked in confusion "what do you mean mostly..." he has no idea what he meant from that

"She's still in there, isn't she?" he raised an eyebrow, turning back to his drink and taking a sip from it.

"Oh I thought you meant between..you and me and uh...Charlotte" He spoke slowly and cautiously not sure if he should have brought it up but he thought it would be better if he just got it over with.
