RP: Moody/Marlene Who: Alastor Moody and Marlene McKinnon Where: Doge Farmhouse When: Sunday, 16 May, 2025, late afternoon Rating/Warnings: Summary: Now that they've moved her, Moody resumes his watch.
It had been an eventful morning. But, after setting things into motion the previous afternoon, they'd managed to make all the arrangements and get Marlene settled their bed at the farmhouse earlier in the afternoon. Alastor had made sure they had everything set to the best of their ability the way Nott needed for treating her, made sure the young Healer was still comfortable with his decision to join.
Now, the others had been sent away, the patient was settled, and all there was left to do was wait for Nott to work another miracle.
And, waiting was not something Alastor was good at. Not unless he had some form of work that could keep him busy while he did so, which he didn't have at the moment.
Closing the door behind him, Alastor tried to move quietly around the room as he toed off his shoes and rolled up the sleeves on his shirt. With all the excitement, Marlene needed to rest now. He likely should have stayed in the other room, but he had no intentions of leaving her unattended after what Nott had explained about the potential progress of the curse. Taking care to move slowly so as not to jostle her, he got onto the bed and stretched out beside her.
Alastor had never been so afraid to touch someone before, but he was now for fear of causing more pain. So, he just sat there and took her hand in his.
