it does, thank you.
a house warming, really? what is the new place like?
I'll have to speak to Emma for her part, but I'd be happy to come.

sounds wonderful, truly. I can't wait to see it. I'd love to meet your animals, too.
I confess I'm not a gifted sleeper, I wouldn't want to end up a horrible house guest. but the party itself, I'll be there.

I understand, of course. But the rooms shall be readied, should you change your mind on the evening. And I'd be happy to show you around. The grand tour, or at least as grand as we may make it.

if it doesn't disrupt the party. if you are busy playing the host I understand.
( just show him around later, Jamie! he wants to see your animals. )

not as soon as I'd like. especially after that picture.
you'll still love me if I tell you I'm here until 4am, won't you?

Oh.

I still love you.

That oh doesn't inspire confidence. Is that your final answer? Do I get a chance to convince you why I'm worth keeping on?
in my experience "Oh." doesn't generally precede genuine approval.
I'm teasing you. Remember, when we used to do that? Tease each other? I could stay stone serious if you like but nobody ever told me that having magic meant you couldn't tease your wife ever again. That might take some practice; see, I'm already doing it again.

You sure you're not just being mean to your poor wife?
Practically positive. I'm not sure I even know how to be mean to you, I've never been inclined to try. You've got an even worse pout than Marshmallow, I wouldn't bring that on myself.
You just did. Telling your wife you're going to be home at 4 a.m. is pretty mean.
I don't think it's mean unless I don't have a good reason
and I do.
and I do.
I'll be the judge of that. What's your good reason?
I don't believe you. I wouldn't have married a woman that would hold helping a new mother feed all fifteen of her puppies against me. It had to have been in those vows somewhere.
that's why they're here and not at home, or we'd go from two to eighteen and even I have to draw a line somewhere.
