Re: Marlene/Alastor
"You shouldn't be. I'm not going to regret it, and if it becomes unnerving, we will talk long before either one of us can regret it." She nodded. "It's really horrible, isn't it? I suppose I can put up with it for you since you've putting up with me for so long." Marlene smiled. "I know you do, love."
Marlene snorted. "Right, that means a week or two, tops three if he gets distracted by his dragons."
She knew that the definition of hard was a fluid one here. "All right; I won't bother you as long you as I can have you in bed for a full five hours every night."
