Broderick watched the snake curiously and sat down across from Tiffany then cocked his head to the side and smirked "yeah I did, I used to live in Paris with my Parents, they died when I was 15 and I began spending summers with my sister so after I graduated I just decided to move here so I worked here until I was 22" He smiled and shrugged "not that interesting of a story"

She wanted to ask how his parents had died, but didn't voice it aloud. She'd find out by her own means later on, if curiosity struck her.
"Why would you leave France? I don't think I would, given the choice." she almost voiced how she'd been with her father but managed to remind herself not to, in time.

"my family is here" Broderick commented simply with a shrug, "besides I love my job and I don't mind it here" he grinned and cocked an eyebrow "you headed for France after you graduate then? " he asked innocently.

His question took her by surprise & she chuckled humorlessly, softly, as if at some private joke that no one else was in on but herself.
"No. I don't think so. That depends." she paused & thought about it altogether. The Dark Lord preferred England, she'd realized. The Ministry's main operations were here, along with various other powerhouses that he wanted to keep an eye on, & frankly, she didn't think her mother would allow any of the Lestrange clan to leave his side. Even if Bellatrix agreed to let her daughter go somewhere that the Dark Lord was not, Tiff wouldn't ever want to leave her mother's side.
"No." she said more definitely, now. She gave him a small glance, before quickly dropping eye contact again as someone popped up to ask them if they were interested in opening a tab. Before Broderick could speak, or offer to pay, she quickly spoke her own solution.
"It'll be on Esma Lestrange's room, please." she glanced at Broderick properly now, eyebrow quirked as she impatiently waited to hear his drink order.

"oh what are your plans then" Broderick asked innocently "not to pry just making small talk" he gave her a look when she spoke again and sighed "it was supposed to me on me"

"I have my brother." she reminded him lightly, "and a fiance. My plans don't get to involve romantic self-discovery trips around Europe & 'finding myself', like some of my classmates." Her tone wasn't rude, but it certainly wasn't pleasant - though it was obvious she wasn't upset with him for all of this.
"And now we can both save our money." she said lightly, not dwelling on it.

Broderick nodded along in agreement "family and obligations are important I understand" he smiled looking impressed "who are you engaged to?" he asked innocently "that wasn't mentioned on the report I was given I can't help but be curious"

"Brent Yaxely." she said his name as an exhale, lifting her ring-fingered hand to brush back her hair carefully, the sleeve of her cloak falling away to reveal the burns & scars covering her hand & arm. She didn't hang on to this subject either, clearly their arrangement was not one of romance.
"You're what, twenty-five? Where's your ring?" she asked, then immediately regretted it, wondering if he was widowed & she'd just accidentally twisted the invisible knife in a little more.

Broderick narrowed his eyes at the wounds on her but made it as if inspecting he ring "ahh don't really know him that well, he is close with a mate of mine though" after a moment he chuckled heartily and shook his head "not engaged or married I'm 22 and fortunately for me the age gap is larger for me to find someone being a male"

She snorted, but quickly muffled it, not wanting to offend him.
"Sorry, I - I know him. Rowle, right?" she quirked an eyebrow curiously, already sure that she was correct without having him confirm it. Her hand dropped as her hair was pushed back into place, & she used her other, equally as scarred up hand to pull her sleeve back down carefully.
She twirled the ring on her finger carefully, concentrating on watching it catch the light & reflect it through the window instead of looking at the unspeakable's face.

Broderick laughed at her initial reaction and raised his eyebrows "it is, how do you know him?" he asked almost sympathetically knowing how Thorfinn liked the pretty underage girls then shook his head and asked casually "through Yaxely? "

She felt her breath catch in her throat at that question. Stupid. Stupid!
"Uhm?" she bought herself a second of time by pretending she hadn't heard him at first, then nodded, as if finally 'understanding'. "Oh, yeah. Like you said. Friend of Yaxely's, definitely not a friend of mine." She felt a blush heat her cheeks as she thought about the night she'd recently spent with her fiance. The way he'd lead her up the stairs to her room, threatening her in all sorts of artfully creative ways - then the way Rowle had watched them pass, hearing everything, & his only reaction had been a nod of respectful greeting at her male counterpart.

Broderick eyed Tiffany's blushing and took that as a yes on the Thorfinn pursuing her front, his expression tensing as he thought of Charlotte and how she remained obviously faithful to a man who obviously did not grant her the same courtesy. "umhm" he cleared his throat and looked away trying to remain calm it not being Tiffany's fault she was much like most of them oblivious.

She frowned, not comfortable under the sad sort of look he was giving her, before snapping a little more harshly than she intended, "What?" she squirmed in her seat, only looking up & breaking gaze from him when two drinks were slid in front of them.
Without skipping a beat she uncapped a small vial from her cloak & dumped it's contents up-endedly into her own drink, watching them sizzle for a moment before taking a sip.

Broderick's eyebrows shot up at her snappy tone and shook his head "nothing, sorry got distracted by something " he watched her pout the vial into her drink and cocked an eyebrow curiously once again but didn't ask.
