It's later than he'd like, but he knew it would be. Dinner's warm in the oven, still, but another half hour and he'll just make her a plate and put it all away in the fridge ( Read more... )

The front door opens quietly, and there's a thump as 'Dora drops her bag onto the floor.

"Bernard?" she calls softly. "Still awake?"

He turns, then reaches for Sunny's door, pulling it mostly shut. Softly, "Yeah. Just checking on the kids."

"'Kay." Smiling, she shrugs out of her cloak, hangs it up, and crosses the living room to kiss him hello. "They sleeping okay?"

the_woodpecker February 7 2007, 01:35:32 UTC

"Yeah," he replies, his voice low and a little rough from stress. "Like logs." He kisses her again, then pulls back to look her in the eye.

"I need to talk to you. You wanna eat first?"

clumsy_auror February 7 2007, 01:36:57 UTC

A tiny wrinkle appears between her brows. "Can do both at the same time. Lemme just go kiss the babies good-night, okay?"

the_woodpecker February 7 2007, 01:45:09 UTC

"Okay." He ducks by her with a quick kiss to her cheek, and goes to the kitchen to get her some baked lemon chicken, potatoes, and haricots verts.

With a last concerned look at Bernard's retreating form, she disappears down the hallway.

He doesn't bother with the dining room table, instead taking the plate and silverware to the living room coffee table.

"D'you want some juice?"

clumsy_auror February 7 2007, 01:54:39 UTC

"Yeah, cranberry, please."

She comes down the hallway, pulling a jumper over her head, and plops down onto the sofa.

It's poured, for him and for her, and soon enough he's sitting next to her on the couch.

"Go ahead and eat some. You've gotta be pretty hungry."

clumsy_auror February 7 2007, 02:01:06 UTC

A light shrug. "I can eat and listen. So what's up?" Picking up the plate, 'Dora digs in and looks at her husband expectantly.

the_woodpecker February 7 2007, 02:03:55 UTC

He's quiet for a second, trying to think how to even put it.

"I got an alarming note last night."

clumsy_auror February 7 2007, 02:05:06 UTC

"...From who?" she asks, eyes widening. "About what?"

the_woodpecker February 7 2007, 02:08:00 UTC

"It was unsigned, on a napkin. Telling me to remember to keep an eye on my son." His eyes meet hers, almost fearful of her reaction.

clumsy_auror February 7 2007, 02:11:41 UTC

Her fork clatters to the plate, which she sets carefully down onto the coffee table. Before 'Dora speaks she takes a slow, deliberate sip of juice. Just thinking. Softly, "All right."

the_woodpecker February 7 2007, 02:12:44 UTC

A breath.

"It could be a prank."
