Thorfinn was the first one to cut Broderick off as he arrived home from work that evening. He stopped him in the middle of the house, his pose large, as if to block any view that the other man could have over his shoulder.
"Hey. Dude. Okay, so, uhm. We should talk. Outside. That way." he nodded in the direction that Broderick had come, the front door. The death eater stood there awkardly, still wearing his outer cloak, which was currently coated in a wiry layer of fur, while Edgar went absolutely ballistic in the background, the sound of him through the kitchen jumping around & scratching at the back door - clearly something outside was bothering him.
"I mean, yeah. Outside? Outside." he nodded, gently trying to usher the other man toward the front door.

Broderick raised his eyebrows and then narrowed them at his friend "What?" he asked suspiciously and stared at the fur on his friends cloak "are you trying out a new fur look or...." his face fell instantly looking worried "Where is Edgar?"

Thorfinn frowned a little, looking down at his robes.
"Er. No. Edgar's fine, honest." he glanced over his shoulder at the incessant barking for a moment & then cleared his throat. "Annoying, but fine. Can I get you anything? You're probably tired from work. Sit. I'll put a kettle on." he pointed rather aggressively at the couch. Whatever he was hiding, it was clearly outside in the back garden, but knowing Thorfinn, it wouldn't have been too serious if he was doing such a terrible job covering it up. When it fell in line with something truly deadly, he tended to not even act hysterical, nervous, but more cold, & distant.

Broderick stared Thorfinn down and shook his head "umhmm" he pushed past Thorfinn and headed for the backyard his eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"Wait wait wait -" Thorfinn side-shuffled to try to stop him, not wanting to use any force.
Stepping over Edgar, Thorfinn put himself between Broderick & the door, gripping the doorknob in one hand & staring his friend down. "Dude." he pleaded, trying to look calm & serious.

Broderick ignored Thorfinn's pleas and swung the back door open stepping into the yard eyes narrowed and alert.

.. only to be likely completely bowled over, a nearly full-grown spotted hyena came bounding across the yard in a few large leaps & took him completely down, though she didn't immediately attack or show any other sign of aggression, instead just stood on the man, her back legs between his & her front paws planted firmly on his chest, her snout just inches from his face. Only then was it clear that she was muzzled. The muzzle itself looked as though it could do a firm amount of damage, it had long metal spikes running down either side of the jaw area, the very front was open like a cage, vertical slats running down the front. The slats were coated in fur & blood - sticky, fresh.
The chain around the hyena's neck rattled & pulled taut as Tiffany, on the other end of it, tried to pull the animal back. "Illsa!" she finally snapped angrily, causing the beast to sink into it's own shoulders, whine like a sad puppy, & climb off of the unspeakable.

Broderick instantly let out a comical yelp as he was taken down by the animal, he paused and stared up at it in shock and surprise, taking in the animal on top of him he cleared his throat nervously as he rose to his feet and stepped away slightly, once he was away from the animal by a foot he relaxed and cocked an eyebrow "why is there a.....hyena..in my backyard?"

"Uhm." Thorfinn looked over at Tiffany awkwardly, who cleared her throat, knowing it was about to sound ridiculous.
"She sort of.. killed one too many neighborhood cats that wandered in & I think people are going to get suspicious." she said awkwardly. The Lestrange house was rather secluded, but when the far-neighboring families lost pets, it could be pretty obvious who was to blame. The hyena in front of Broderick whined again, licking her chops underneath of the muzzle.
Thorfinn piped in awkwardly, "She's not exactly.. regulation.. or registered, for that matter -"
"You can't tell anyone about her." Tiffany snapped, cutting Thorfinn off as she looked at Broderick with a deadly sort of seriousness.

Broderick gave Tiffany a look as if she were completely stupid "you brought a illegal pet..that has been unauthorized and killing neighborhood pets to an unspeakable....who has a pet pommeranian BRILLIANT" he replied sarcastically.

Tiffany shot him an angry glare.
"You have a death eater for a roommate." she pointed out, quirking an eyebrow.
Thorfinn turned to Broderick with a small shrug, as if to say, she has a point.
"Look, I'm not.." she trailed off to tug at the leash as Illsa pulled, trying to get a better sniff of Broderick, whining pitifully under her muzzle. "I'm not keeping her here, I'm just hiding out until the neighbors are.. taken care of." she blushed a little, realizing that Broderick was still under the idea that she was living with the Malfoy family. "My aunt will have to talk them down for a little, it's best if she's not there as evidence." Tiff gestured to the creature, quirking an eyebrow.

Broderick rolled his eyes and shook his head "umhmmm, fine" he flapped a hand at the pair of them and walked back inside "keep it outside and away from my dog" he smirked slightly as he closed the door softly and went into the kitchen to get some tea.

Tiff immediately rechained the beast up, crouching in front of her to readjust her muzzle, before leaving Thorfinn to make sure his birds weren't in total emotional trauma. As she headed to the door, a loud, muffled cackle escaped the animal's mouth, so loud that it was likely heard inside of the house as well. She stepped in through the garden door & glanced at Broderick making himself a pot of tea.
"Are you just putting that on, now?" she asked, somewhat hintingly, her hands wringing together a little guiltily as she extended the metaphorical olive branch to him.

Broderick gave Tiffany a look then sighed and nodded "want some water?" he asked curiously then eyed her for a moment "soooo why my house?" he smirked "why would you bring it to my house?"

"Yes." she said bluntly, before looking out the window at the yard again. Thorfinn was still tending to his birds, but Illsadryl was gnawing on her magically reinforced chain impatiently, unhappy to be tied up while in a new place that she wanted to explore.
"Rowle suggested it. Brent actually said his parent's place, but to be honest I don't think I'd be able to get her to come home after that." she admitted. Illsadryl loved Brent - she'd hate to find out how much it adored the rest of his family too, given the chance to meet them.
