" Home is where the heart is, where you feel safe & warm & loved. " Colleen mused as she flicked through her piles of paperwork.

      Malachi simply dropped his own papers down onto the coffee table in front of them, biting back the grin that was fast forming on his otherwise pursed lips, due to the approaching distraction they were about to endure.. all because he couldn’t refrain from kissing those bittersweet, self-pity pouring lips. Swinging one leg around till he’d found a comfortable enough position on his side of the sofa, he leaned across to her, half pinning the woman; his hands pressed into the cushions beneath her for support so as not to crush her. He found some complacency, in those few moments that rolled by, where upon he remained hovering over her even as he pulled away, just to sit back on his knees and watch her with mild curiosity———the lit professor was waiting on some kind of reaction that would let him know, even in the smallest of ways, he might have stamped out any of those woeful remarks.

Colleen seeing that @malachisms is grading papers and thinking he needs a bit of a spirit boost so she sings an off key version of Sweet Carolin in one of his Red Sox tshirts. :-)

Hematite, Lapis Lazuli, Nebula Stone, and Unakite. If they haven't been asked already. { from a very curious Colleen }

hematite: how squeamish my muse is 

Not all that much, actually. One of his colleagues whom he is closest with works in the Science department so he is often within those classrooms during experiments / dissections and the like.

lapis lazuli: where ‘home’ is to my muse

He feels most at home whenever he’s at work, because that’s usually what his life consists of and where he is always spending most of his time; also where his focus lies due to grading assignments.

nebula stone: how good my muse’s memory is

Incredible memory and can remember back to his childhood years, which is also beneficial given his line of work because his knowledge where poetry is concerned is quite remarkable.

unakite: what my muse’s ideal pet would be 

A huge fan of dogs, but little ones, so probably something along the lines of a Papillon or Maltese; the longer the pooches hair, the more likely he is to want for one.

HARLEEN

“N-No, Professor, that’s not it.” She assured him, sitting up as she licked her lips and fixed her far too short skirt. “I want you. But someone can come and find us, or something can go wrong.”

   He wasn’t assured by her words, for it was in her reluctance that he realised, even if they were not in a bad place and it was the right time, she likely did not want to take it that far anyway. ‘  There are locks on these doors stronger than prison bars - but you are probably right .. we shouldn’t be doing this.  ‘

[ @mscandystriper ]

   ‘  Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate, passionate, charming and.. as kind as I am handsome.. ?  ‘ he quipped, jumping in and trying to drive her thoughts off in another direction - that would, inevitably, see him in a much more golden light than the one in which he was sulking. In no more than forty five minutes, he had been reduced to the size of a mouse, or so it felt like and he was having a very difficult time putting all the pieces together.
