"You're going to wear a hole in the floor, you know," says Kitty, where she's sitting with her legs crossed, a little above the floor.

Her eyes aren't totally shut.

"Good. Because if you say something that stupid again, I'm spending the night in New York and letting you have some time to think about how idiotic that sounds."

iustus_rex January 26 2006, 05:51:20 UTC

He nods, a little, and leans back against the wall, apparently thinking about how it sounds already.

"I think," after a moment, "Raven's right."

iustus_rex January 26 2006, 15:47:30 UTC

Slowly, quietly:

"I think so too. I'm just...

"Not at all sure what to do about it."

"May I suggest hitting something?" It's half a joke.

But only half.

iustus_rex January 26 2006, 19:15:11 UTC

"Tempting."

Half serious.

... probably only half.

There's a sigh, as she uncrosses her legs and sticks them out, dropping the inch or so to the floor.

"So what are you going to do?"

iustus_rex January 26 2006, 19:24:19 UTC

"Haven't decided yet," glumly. "Depends, I suppose, on whether or not I find something to hit."

prydeful January 26 2006, 19:28:53 UTC

"Well, there is me. Not for hitting so much as sparring. And I hit back, sadly. But there's that."

Edmund smiles, a little, and turns his head to press a kiss to her shoulder.

"Thank you for offering," he murmurs softly. "Might take you up on it, at some point."

prydeful January 26 2006, 19:43:46 UTC

"I promise not to hit you too hard."

There's a long moment and then she says, carefully, "If she really bothers you--well, you could leave, I mean. You don't have to stay here."

His arm around her tightens, quite a lot.

"This is my home," he says, sharply. "This place holds my family, the woman who's agreed to be my wife-- no. I'm not leaving. Not for her."

prydeful January 26 2006, 19:53:34 UTC

Little tight there, Ed.

But Kitty doesn't object, just smiles, a little.

"There's my guy."

iustus_rex January 26 2006, 19:56:04 UTC

"Love you," he says, quietly, arm loosening a little, after a moment.

She's still held tightly against him, make no mistake, but not any longer quite so tightly as to be uncomfortable.

prydeful January 26 2006, 19:57:44 UTC

"I know."

She shifts a little, turning, and half on his lap, so she can look at him. "Guess what."
