Re: Alastor - Marlene
"Can't be doing too great a job if you feel the need to remind me of things I haven't messed up or ignored yet," he muttered. Just because he wasn't willing to coddle people, it didn't mean he was going to run roughshod over them either. He hadn't even said they couldn't have the damned club, if that's what they wanted! All he'd done was suggest a need for more security to keep them all safe.
"No worries, then." Alastor tugged playfully on a lock of her hair. "Ask me that question again in a couple weeks when the dust finishes settling on this new government and what little novelty there is about our circumstances have worn off for the people here." Pseudo-clandestine clubs in protected harbours were only going to keep them distracted from real life for so long, after all.
