Tiffany watched him closely. "You should know better than to get involved. As of a few days ago, I'm my brothers sole guardian. It's my job to protect him & serve my fiancé."
Thorfinn chuckled softly & caught her waist, looking at her curiously as she pulled away. "You know I'm here."

Broderick cocked an eyebrow "excuse me?" he shook his head "I'm not getting involved and I have no problem with your brother I have not even met him I was referring to the fact that your fiance destroyed your back and judging by your scaring, mauled tattoo and apparent veins it was not the first time" he frowned clearly unimpressed he being unaware that her mother aranged the wedding had no idea why she would want to marry him "you can not think he /loves/ you"
Ashley grinned at him affectionately and pointed to a bird who was snuggled up in the corner of a cage sleeping "What is that ones name?" she asked.

"Don't be stupid." She said harshly, as her corset finished lacing, uncomfortably tight, "that's not what we marry for. We marry to carry on the line." She reminded him.
"Oedipus." Thorfinn smirked a little, clearly remembering something distinct. "Why?"

Broderick cocked an eyebrow "/sometimes/" he corrected her and shrugged innocently then frowned "I don't mean to be insensitive but I was not sure because your parents are not...present I suppose the Malfoy's would have that rule as well." he nodded once then frowned "still to bethroth you to someone so primitive is" she shook his head and flapped a hand "forget it. not my business. goodbye Tiffany"
Ashley shrugged and smiled sweetly "just wondering, what about that one?" she asked pointing to another.

"It's not." She snapped, suddenly livid, "it's not your business. He isn't primitive, just because he views things differently than you do." She glared at him harshly. "I won't defend it when he hurts me, but you're in no place to judge him."
Thorfinn watched Ashley curiously. "You shouldn't marry if you're not ready. Physically, mentally."

Broderick shook his head "any man that will do something like that" he gestured to her back "to the woman he is engaged to is not someone I would like to get to know" with a frown he sighed and shook his head once again "but fine, you are right it doesn't concern me and I apologize if I offended you"
Ashley frowned and shook her head "it's not that I am not ready...I understand my duty and what I am supposed to do I just...I wanted to marry someone I loved" she blushed at hos childish she probably sounded then looked at her feet.

Tiffany watched him for a beat longer than necessary, before standing up again & sliding her shirt back on around her corset, rolling her shoulders to relief a little of the new tightness from the bandages, then reached for her cloak. "Thank you for.. this." she said, albeit a bit shortly.
"That one is Icarus." he said after a moment of watching her, eyes flickering from her to the bird curiously. He didn't want to let her dwell on her own hurt any longer than she needed to.

Broderick half-smiled when she thanked him and nodded softly "of course and my offer still stands if you change your mind"
Ashley looked grateful that he changed the subject once again and smiled over at him "you come up with really good names" she thought out oud.

Thorfinn gave her a little smirk. "They're all Norse & Greek." he admitted. "I didn't make any up."
Tiffany gave him a curt nod & fastened the front of her cloak, immediately heading out into the back garden so that she could apparate in privacy. She didn't even look up as Thorfinn started talking to her, completely ignoring him & Ashley as she passed.
"Whoa, hey." Thorfinn caught up to her & grabbed her arm sharply, entirely forgetting about her recent wounds. Her entire left-side of her body seemed to give way like a rag doll & he let go of her like he'd been shocked, letting her straighten herself out without apology. "Where do you think you're going?" he snapped.
"You brought me here against my will and you compromised everything. I'm going home to make sure Soleus is alright." she hissed at him, eyes fiery.
"Soleus is fine. What you need to do right now is let Brent cool down a little." he advised carefully, though his tone wasn't friendly.
"I will not be scared out of my own house." she sniffed at him haughtily, the anger in her eyes growing more intense with each new thing that he told her.
"Don't be an idiot." he snapped at her, glancing at the bandage poking out from her cloak sleeve. "You know that if you go home now, he'll pull those off & go for round two." he looked at the bruises starting to form around her neck & collarbones, the spots that had been too fresh when they'd first arrived at the Bode's, but were now making themselves apparent. "Or round three, by the looks of it. Go back inside. Now."
Tiffany tensed a little at the last, stern word, then gave him a deadly glare & turned on her heel to head back inside.

Ashley shrugged and smiled "I know but that doesn't mean it's not cool that you think of them" she grinned sweetly running a hand through her hair "I like how when I am with you I don't have to think about anything else" she mumbled softly then paused when Tiffany stepped outside blushing she watched Tiffany then stared with wide eyes relieved when Tiffany went back inside.
Broderick raised his eyebrows when Tiffany stepped back inside and smirked "road block?" he teased softly.

"Ha. Aha ha. Ha." Tiffany gave him a dark look, dumping her cloak over the back of the nearest armchair before turning to Broderick.
"Where is Rowle's room?" she offered a better explanation, not wanting him to assume she was sleeping with him - or trying to, for that matter. "If he's going to insist that I stay here overnight, he can sleep on the couch." she knew that it was unnecessarily cruel of her - after all, Thorfinn actually would be sleeping & in need of a bed, whereas she knew she wouldn't get any sleep at all.
Thorfinn turned back to Ashley with a small, sad smile. "You should stay away from her." he told her genuinely.

Broderick frowned and shook his head "you can have my room I will sleep on he couch" he smiled at her genuinely and nodded "it's fine don't worry about it"
Ashley cocked an eyebrow and blinked in surprise "I-I what?"

"Don't be ridiculous." she said, her tone stern. Her issue wasn't with him & she wasn't going to force him to suffer because of it, especially after he'd allowed her to stay there. Especially after he hadn't turned her in to the Ministry an hour ago, when he had the chance. "For the love of - I will take the couch. I don't plan to do much sleeping, anyway." she crossed his path & slumped down onto the couch beside him stiffly, staring straight ahead with a glare.
"Tiffany." Thorfinn explained, looking at Ashley seriously, "I just - I need you to stay away from her."

Broderick narrowed his eyes and shook his head with a chuckle "I don't think so princess" she scooped her up and gently carried her up the stairs to his room.
Ashley frowned and sunk into her shoulders sheepishly "I-I don't understand why....s-she I mean she doesn't have very many friends..I get that..."

She barely had a chance to properly 'defend herself', too shocked by his choice in nickname. She sort of felt like she'd had a bucket of ice water poured over her head & she couldn't shake the cold feeling, instead resorting to a little bit of shivering. "I actually have legs, you realize." she informed him, her voice missing it's usual snark & malice, instead sounding lifeless, quiet.
"Because I asked you to." Thorfinn snapped a little, eyes growing fiery.
