[ A soft ah, as he realizes that she thinks it's work-related, not play-related. ]
There might be. [ Chances are there will be, honestly. It seems trouble finds them no matter where they go. ] But, no, I'd thought...
[ An evaluative flick of his eyes, as if to gauge Jill's reaction preemptively. ] ...That we might go to one of their bathhouses together. I hear good things about the hot springs in the area.
[ Even helped a guy not go out of business, that one time! ]
[An oh comes from Jill, smile turning sheepish. For pleasure, not business. What a delightful change, and she laughs softly.]
That's a lovely idea, Clive. What time shall we depart?
[She can't wait--but she also needs to speak to Tarja, first and foremost. There's no way time in a bathhouse with Clive doesn't lead to more opportunities to end up pregnant. Abstinence is absolutely out of the question, now.]
[ Obviously he knew she'd agree, but Clive is still pleased with Jill's acceptance anyway. It lights up his expression, blue eyes widening for a heartbeat of a moment in something that might be read as awe. Like he still can't believe that he's lucky enough that she gives him the time of day. ]
I'll have to speak to Otto in the morning, but we should be able to leave afterwards.
[ Just a few updates on Cursebreaker activities, making sure the books are balanced, and reassuring him that he'll be back to take care of anything outstanding. The usual. ] You can... relax. You must be tired.
[Just enough time to confess her sins to Tarja and escape before Clive gets pulled into hot water with her. Deserved, but still a thing Jill would like for them to avoid.]
I have no bones left in my body. You relax.
[For no bones, her arms aren't lacking strength when they pull him down to her.]
[ Will Tarja kill Clive before he can take Jill to Dalimil???? Stay tuned. A thing for future Clive to worry about, though, since he's being pulled down into Jill's orbit again, cuddled against her like the biggest stuffed animal the world has ever seen.
Happily held, he rests against her and closes his eyes. Content in a way he's never know, still thinking about husband and how warm that makes him feel. He'll be thinking about that, and the feeling of having been inside her, for a good long while. ]
Alright, alright. [ He'll rest, now that he's made plans (an excuse) to stay close to Jill the next day as well. ] Rest with me, my boneless lady.
[ A little smile, and he winds the blankets around them a little tighter. He's going to sleep like a log, tonight. ]
[Every time Clive curls up with her, she can't imagine being more cozy and comfortable. And then the next time somehow manages to feel even better. She's happy for this weighted blanket made of lovable man, and she squeezes him for a long moment before relaxing her hold, but keeping her arms around him.]
A rest we've earned.
[Him, especially. Jill hums, warm and content, and easily drifts off to sleep.]
