[Paperwork. Dinner gone cold. Too busy.]

Comments

[wifeofgorlois]

[As if she was going to knock.] You need to eat.

[dukeoftintagel]

I need Uther to stop inventing new paperwork. [Siiiiigh.]

[wifeofgorlois]

You need to stop listening to every word our liege says. [simply picks up the bread and walks over to him, leaning against the back of his chair and dangling the food in front of his face] Uther means well, to be sure, but you cannot think when hungry, my lord.

[dukeoftintagel]

he is my King, I think I'm supposed too. [Nevermind Gorlois has enough land and power to be a king of his own accord... He takes the bread from her fingers, but sets it aside.]

I have much to be doing.

[wifeofgorlois]

He is my king as well, but you are my lord, and I am more concerned by what you're not doing, Gorlois. [takes that bread back and repeats the motions]

You have much to be eating.

[dukeoftintagel]

[he siiiighs. Woman, the things you put him through. Leans back against the chair, head falling back to look at her.] I am hardly to starve if I miss a meal.

[wifeofgorlois]

[quirky smile, shakes the bread a little, teasing it against his lips]

[dukeoftintagel]

[Fine, fine. He takes a bite of the bread and gives her a look as in "happy now, my Lady?"]

[wifeofgorlois]

[follows that with a kiss]

[dukeoftintagel]

[He wants to pull her closer, but can't. still he kisses her back, nipping lightly at her lip.] Come around here.

[wifeofgorlois]

I quite like it back here, my lord. [She likes it because she can set up a reward system. Oh look. Chicken. How about a nice piece of chicken, hm, love?]

[dukeoftintagel]

[Sigh. eats the piece of chicken.] My lady, you make me feel like a child or a pet or both.

[wifeofgorlois]

Are you not, my lord? [she strokes back his hair, fingers lingering along his brow. She loves you dearly, Gorlois. Did you know?] If you are not going to take care of yourself, I cannot imagine how else you're to be treated.

[dukeoftintagel]

[He smiles at her fingers, closes his eyes a moment.] I will not waste away because I forgot my supper once or twice, my sweet wife. I am young, and strong enough. And generally very well fed.

[wifeofgorlois]

Yes, but only when someone reminds you to eat it. [keeps up the gentle caresses] You may be young now, but doubtless you will remain so.

[dukeoftintagel]

Are you saying I'm getting old too soon for you? [opens his eyes and his grin is cheeky.] I do not forget so often.
