Who: Rose and Rolf and open to Dennis (or anybody else with access to Dennis’ and Rose’s flat)
What: It’s that time again: another mission
Where: Rose and Dennis’ flat
When: Wednesday evening
Rating: SFW, for now

As much as Rose hated to leave Rolf – though she loved her work and wasn’t ready to give it up, even for Rolf – she was beginning to feel restless. The last real mission had been more than two months ago and since then it had only been minor items or doing introductory cases with the first-year trainees. Fun, sure, but not as interesting or challenging as the work usually was.

So it was with equal parts dread, relief, and excitement that Rose let in one of Gringott’s owls, and sent it off after she had fed it a treat. “New mission,” she announced, turning back to look at Rolf with a small twist of her lips, because really? As much as she was itching to dive into another case, she really didn’t like being away from him.

“So, let’s see,” she said with a small sigh and sat down in his lap in the big comfy chair. Quickly she scanned the brief and couldn’t help the intrigue when she saw the location and even more so the estimated duration. “It’s going to be a long one,” she told him with a put-on pout, spying the chance to maybe pull his leg a little – and differently from whenever she tried physically pulling his legs out from under him. “We’re talking months.”

Rolf was lounging and relaxing after a day of stocking at the shop in between customers and caring for the animals. Though he vastly enjoyed Rose being around all the time, but he knew she chafed over not being able to go out and do more. He sympathised; there were times he still felt like going stir crazy for not being able to travel and study the animals he wanted to study.

For now, he read until he heard Rose come in. He set aside the book, smiling as she slipped into his lap. His long arms wrapped around her, snuggling her a little closer. He saw the tell-tale letter and repressed a sigh -- just because he understood her excitement over new orders didn't mean he wouldn't miss her very much while she was gone.

He did sigh and didn't fight the sad frown that wanted to come to his lips. Months?! He'd go crazy without her for months. He'd definitely have to visit. "Months?" he said, only a trifle plaintively, which was a little bit of an effort. "Where to?" He craned his neck, but the angle was awkward from how she was holding the parchment.

	Dennis apparated into the flat silently and paused at the sound of his friend's voices. He listened just long enough to Rose mention that her mission would be for months and rolled his eyes before disappearing into his bedroom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Months,” Rose confirmed with a nod, still repressing her smirk as she snuggled closer into Rolf’s arms, almost feeling bad for stringing him along like this. But only almost, she wasn’t there at all yet. She shifted the parchment just a fraction of an inch to keep it illegible to him without it seeming an obvious attempt at just that.

“We’ll be going further and deeper than I thought they would ever allow a team with a trainee to go,” she continued, this time not hiding anything and simply letting her own awe at the upcoming mission shine through. “Supposedly it’s layers upon layers of ancient magic, and it could very well be the last mission before I’m fully trained.” Her grin was excited as she looked at Rolf, her eyes shining and her whole body almost shivering with anticipation for what her life was going to be like at least until summer.

Her excitement was palpable, and that soothed some of his disappointment at an apparent long separation. He was happier when she was happy, and obviously this job was intense and pleased her. "Well, that's just wonderful, Rosie," he said, hugging her tightly. "What an exciting opportunity! Definitely a worthy mission to show your skills before you graduate to full=on curse breaker!" He smiled, pleased for her himself.

"So what is it? Details, my dear! I must know," he said, grinning at her.

Rose was toeing a very fine line, between keeping this light and pushing Rolf’s faith in her too much. Still, it was a relief to see that even though he appeared to at least appear to be under the impression that she would be gone for months on end, he was happy, excited, for her.

“Oh, you want details?” she grinned back, burrowing closer into his embrace, her lips easily finding his before she nudged her nose to his. “Well, the first ward was cast back in 1474, and according to the parchments it’s been strengthen, replenished or supplemented at least once a year ever since.” Her eyes were wide as she drew in a deep breath as if trying to contain her exhilaration – which she was – as she moved to straddle his thighs, combing her fingers through his thick, dark hair. “That’s at least five hundred and thirty-one wards and layers of Curses, which are rumoured to include both Geminos and Fragrantes. This could so very easily not only be my last mission as a trainee, but also my first as a Cursebreaker.”

"Yessssss, oh tease of mine," he said, teasing her in turn. Rolf grinned, threatening to wiggle his fingers against her torso as blackmail in order to get her to divulge the details, not that it was really needed. He kissed her lightly, suppressing his dismay at her sudden long-term orders and letting his happiness for her happiness take over. There'd be time to show her how much he'd miss her, though she had to know.

"Oh wow, that'll be quite the challenge," he said, eyes widening slightly as he took in the information. "That's a hell of a lot of wards and curses." Worry for her safety made him tighten his arms around her, wanting to protect her, though he knew logically that she was more than capable of taking care of herself. "That's a really great one, love. It shows how much they value your skills." He was proud of her on top of everything else -- he had such a kick arse, talented girlfriend.

Dennis rolled his eyes and clomped back into the sitting room to stare at the two love birds. It was entirely possible that his expression was slightly more tart than it could have been, and his hands could probably have done with not being on his hips, but he was equal parts amused and exasperated with them. "For Christ's sake Rose, tell him or I will," he said, a hint of a smirk breaking out on his face. "It's not fair to keep him all suspense-like."

“Not fair?” Rose grinned, shifting in Rolf’s lap until she was turned around, lounging back against his chest and looking up at Dennis. She pouted her lips out into an almost pensive look before she shrugged. “Maybe not, but he’ll forgive me when I tell him where the deepest, darkest place I’ll be going to is, don’t you think?”

Turning her head she looked at Rolf, her eyes and smile softening; here she was, toying with him, making him think that she would be gone for months and months and yet the most evident emotion she got from him was pride and love. Pride in her, love for her… him and Dennis, they were the only people here she knew would be proud of her. “That I’ll be working on one of the oldest family vaults in Gringott’s London branch?”

Rolf's eyebrows rose at Dennis' tone and expression when he caught a glimpse of it. "What?" he said, a little baffled. He had no idea what was going on, and he wondered if it was his general obliviousness to some things or what.

"You. You!" he said, laughing when she told him where she was really going to be for the next several months at least. His fingers tickled up and down her side in retaliation. "You were pulling my leg, and very well too! Evil little Rosie!" he said with another laugh, hugging her to him. Now he was even more thrilled, because he wasn't going to have to miss her when she was far far away for a long time. "Oh, that's brilliant, and you'll be around. I won't have to miss you terribly for so long."

Dennis rolled his eyes and looked at Rose sternly. "Maybe he will, but you're still an awful tease for teasing him young lady. You should make someone spank you. Probably Rolf." He turned and looked at Rolf with vast amusement. "What what?"

Dennis gave a mock sigh and threw himself down on the sofa. "I was looking forward to some peace and quiet so I could focus on some scrapbooking and fill my death list notebook with new names, but oh no, Rose had to go and get her amazing assignment," he lamented with mock-sadness, before peaking through his fingers and grinning at them. "I'm really excited though, it's going to be brilliant!" He turned and looked at Rolf and smirked. "Plus, I won't have to deal with mopey, sad Rolf."

“No!” Rose screeched when Rolf’s fingers a little too unerringly found her sides and the tickling had her abdominal muscles contract and draw her knees up to her chest as she frantically tried to catch his hands and make the horrible tickling stop! Finally she managed, and threaded her fingers with his to keep them where they couldn’t tickle her anymore. “And no spanking,” she looked up at Dennis, then glanced briefly at Rolf. “A good old-fashioned arse-kicking, but no spanking.”

She cooed when Dennis put his Gryffindor on full display and dramatically dropped to the sofa. “No mopey Rolf and me to help you with your deathlist scrapbook,” she grinned at him. “And we don’t have to proxy any of the roommate agreements for a long while.” She paused for a moment. “Speaking of; I’m hungry.”

He had mercy on her after a moment, twining his fingers around hers and ceasing his attempts to tickle her more. "As my lady wishes," he said. "Sparring and arse whipping only." He grinned. His balance was improving, though he still had a ways to go -- but they could spar again now, and they enjoyed it.

His eyebrows raised. "Death list scrapbook?" He asked, wondering if there was something he needed to know. He made a face at Dennis. "You sure didn't mind when I made all that food in my last so called mopey mood," he teased.
