"I'm simply observing....."

"I know, I know.. part of the fun for you..." And he can feel glamour flow and when it's done, and not until it's done, do some of the pretzels turn..well, dross worthy. Ironically it's the mishapen one that looks more like a heart that's the big one

He exhales with careful satisfaction. "There. Now, these won't last forever but at least -some- of the Glamour is portable."

"Were you worried we were in danger?"

"From this little baking enterprise? No."

"Of being caught without dross" She fusses

"Well." he turns from the cooling racks, and goes to the bar cart. "It never hurts to have a few tucked away."

"No I suppose, but I thought maybe you had seen something on the horizon I was missing"

"My historic and overwhelming paranoia?"

"Well, it has served you well"

"Mmm." Agreement. He fixes them drinks.

He brings her glass over, holding his own.

She takes it, and toasts "to my man, always looking over his shoulder, but always looking over his head- I tease, but he keeps us cared for and ready"

He looks away, embarrassed. "Oh Dearest....."

"I'll drink to it if you don't," She sips

He sips, then lifts his glass again. "To my Dearest Callidora, who inspires me and motivates me."

She toasts to that "It makes me happy to do so"

"How delightful that we make each other happy." He observes.

"Does make living together tolerable" She chuckles

"Mmmm.... among other things."

A nose kiss at that

"How would you like to spend the next holiday?"

"What holiday?" She says blankly

He clears his throat. "Beltaine."

"YOu don't like Beltaine" She says "So I thought you might want to skip it"

He takes her hand. "I have in the past; no reason to celebrate, as we've discussed. But.... "

"But?"

"Perhaps now I do."

"Oh" A blush and she squeezes his han

hand*

"And, we have celebrated it together before now." Sip. "Any thoughts?"

"It will be the babies FIRST Beltaine. I would like to have a small part in th at"

"On the farm, I assume?"

"Actually, by then, I think April will be moving off the farm.. so they might have it in the city"

"We should find out."

"Mm it could affect things... but now? You and I are going to snuggle and sip our drinks... and enjoy the view out the window"

"Come." He leads her to the couch and they snuggle, indeed.

And she lays her head against his shoulder.
