“Hmm?”
“We can’t…”
“Can’t we?” She rocked her hips into his, knowing he was interested.
Bad Ruby! Seducing your husband! XD
“Wanna do it again?”
You sweet-talker, you!
“Aye. But also enjoying you, being here.”
She glanced down at him, noting how sombre he suddenly appeared. Elias could be mercurial, especially when tired, which she supposed accounted for at least some of his mood swing.
He is having Mate in Danger angst. He's allowed.
...she stood and practically ran to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
Ow ow ow ow
And then he was back, shaking his head slightly, frowning and then staring at her in horror. “I did it again.”
Poor Elias!
“Shh. Eat more banana.” She stroked his cheek with her knuckles, then held a piece of banana to his lips.
If Rose were trying to hand-feed banana to Peter, that would be a form of torture.
The last was said with a heavy sigh; she knew when Elias was at the breaking point, and she had no desire to drive him past it over something which hopefully would never come to pass.
They're gonna have to talk about it at some point.
She laughed at the one from Cunningham, passing it to Elias without comment; he read the scrawled “Get well soon. Someone has to keep McCoy in line, and you’re the only one to do it!”, then shook his head.
And here I thought that was Peter's job. ;D
There was a gorgeous, gigantic arrangement from the Tylers...
That's true, she'd have met Jackie and Pete by now - at the reception, if nothing else.
...and a lovely basket of heather from Peter and Rose.
Ooooh!
“They don’t. I…just don’t want to tempt fate.”
They know what happened to Peter's mum. *sigh*
“Aye, it might.” He fed her another forkful. “But not if I take care to pad the bath with towels.”
Let me guess, number three on the new bathtub material tryout list? XD
“But as that’s all between my wife and I, I’ll say no more.”
One shudders to think what details he's leaving out!
But then, she’d always been told she had a ludicrously high pain threshold.
Being a woman also helps.
“Don’t leave me, don’t,” he finally whispered, kissing her once more.
“Never.” She pulled back, making sure he looked at her before she repeated, “Never ever.”
*cough*Neversayneverever*cough*
Not that you'd do that to Elias and Ruby, but still.

Isn’t she *terrible* to Elias? ;)

*pets Elias*
If Rose were trying to hand-feed banana to Peter, that would be a form of torture.
That is because Peter is a man of refined tastes *g*
They're gonna have to talk about it at some point.
And they will. But it won’t be after Elias has an episode.
And here I thought that was Peter's job. ;D
Peter’s good-but even he can’t fully handle Elias on his own. It takes two wranglers to keep that man in line!
That's true, she'd have met Jackie and Pete by now - at the reception, if nothing else.
They’ve met a few times-to the point that Ruby isn’t *quite* as awestruck as she first was. Jackie likes the both of them, because they’re no-BS people. And of course, because they’re friends with Rose and Peter.

Well, that. But also I suspect that the inaccuracy in dosing is a common problem in PW. Not to worry-Vitex is working on it. ;)

Perhaps. They’re renting, though, so probably not. :(
Being a woman also helps.
*g*

Dear lord, no. Peter and Rose, and Ruby and Elias, all live to ripe old ages. *nods vehemently*
