Good, walking’s good. Since my ankles haven’t swelled up yet, I may as well get in all my walking surprises now. 

Give me ten minutes to change and we can go?

[longarse]

Of course. Wait, what do you mean, your ankles haven’t swelled up yet? 

[alicealongbottom-blog]

What should I wear?

[longarse]

The restaurant is business-casual enough. Food is brilliant, gourmet, not so much. It will be bloody cold, I uh, I’d like to show you something. Not too far of a walk. 

[alicealongbottom-blog]

Woah. Out-out. That’s very out. What’s prompted this? 

[longarse]

I haven’t been in years. This time of year is prime enjoyment time for me. And in five months it isn’t going to be this easy.

If you were going to punt him, you’d have done so years ago.

Out? What were you thinking?

[longarse]

I was thinking of going back in for a portkey. Dinner in uh, in Marseille. That might be far enough away from the cat. 

[alicealongbottom-blog]

I tried to warn you Carter’s catnip was right underfoot. 

[longarse]

I’m going to punt it. 

Let’s go out tonight.

The things that happen when your loafers aren’t properly sized.

[alicealongbottom-blog]

I love you. Don’t lose faith in us, okay?

[longarse]

I can’t do that. 

[alicealongbottom-blog]

For the coffee? Me, too.

[longarse]

Not the coff-- well, yeah, the coffee. But not the coffee. 

[alicealongbottom-blog]

Stop. Stop, stop, stop. Stop the apologizing, please. Because when you apologize to me, for having done nothing, it makes me feel like I’m – it’s my fault for making you – you don’t have to say you’re sorry. I just need – I need you to stop saying you can’t be what I need. If that were the case, I’d have left you ages ago. You are what I need. That’s why I’m here. Now stop apologizing, and put on a fresh pot of coffee, please. 

[longarse]

I’m really excited. 

[alicealongbottom-blog]

Frank.

[longarse]

I’m sorry.

[alicealongbottom-blog]

What’s that look for?

[longarse]

Because this feels-- I know what it’s like to feel like I don’t know how to be what you need. I never thought I’d feel that again. 

[alicealongbottom-blog]

I know, I know. I –

You’re going to be an exceptional father.

alicealongbottom:

Frank – 

Alice, I have wanted to shag you since I was too young to want to shag anyone. 

All I’m saying is that you and I have been through far too much with this baby already. Obviously, you don’t seem worried in the least, but if you don’t know, the only thing you can do is find out. There isn’t anything that isn’t going to worry me. This isn’t about whether or not I want you. So where did you hear the things you did say?

[longarse]

alicealongbottom:

At which bit, darling? How do I feel about asking a Healer permission to shag my husband, or how would I feel after having a husband willing to shag me?

You’ve got to be joking.

[longarse]

alicealongbottom:

You’re no fun. I’ll get a Healer’s Note, then. 

How would you feel? 

[longarse]

alicealongbottom:

Even if you’re soft, slow – ?
