Re: Alastor - Marlene
"You are! You really are, but I know you, and I know that people tend to be more demanding as time goes by and your patience gets spread thin. That's why I'm telling you." She looked at him. "You really are doing an amazing job, Alastor. I'm... I admit that I'm surprised that you're staying so calm. Maybe five years have helped with that, too? Or maybe you're just adapting. I don't know, but I do know that you're being really good. The D man would be impressed."
Marlene cupped his cheeks. "We will save the world and will keep this new and fresh. We'll find ways to keep people entertained so they can do their real jobs. We will fix this, love, and then we're going on vacation, although I can see how that might not be the best incentive for you... we can take a holiday inside the Vatican libraries or the Alexandria library. Any place you want."
