"Now, a glass of red wine of an evening could have beneficial effects."

"Mmmmf"

"Water, of course, for hydration. Perhaps some fruit, for flavor? And I have been thinking of experimenting with plant-based meals, an entree salad for example."

"I am NOT going vegan" A huufff

"No! Heavens, no. But you might indulge me once a week?"

"Now's tthe time to live itt up, don't you think?"

"Of course!" he encourages her "Say, are you in the mood to travel a bit? What catches your fancy?"

"You kiddingg? The club annd I may have limitted time"

"Callidora." he sits with her again; hell, the bottle is nearby. "You and the Club have all the time you wish. You know I have left my interest to Caesar, when the time comes. The Club has a life of its own, a Balefire. That will be Caesar's, and his children's."

"But, they will have to wait." a smirk "A long time."

"I.. mmm.. yes, they will" A pause "lon g enouch I can see them grow?"

"Yes." rock-solid.

He leans in and whispers to her "I bet one of them sings......"

"And in the meantime, we'll lounge by the 'Fire, and live decadently, and enjoy our own company as well as the company of others."

"MMMMM..."

"There." he brushes her hair back over her shoulder.

She calms "Singing grandchildren.. mmm"

"How could it be otherwise?"

"We will beat this, Callidora. The two of us together... there is nothing we cannot accomplish."

She kisses him

He returns it.

"I know. Now.. let's drink. I mean to get plastttered"

"Tell you what." he stands and takes up the bottle "I will make cocktails and bring up a tray -along with- a bottle. You go on and get comfortable and we'll drink in bed so we can sleep in comfort, hm?"

"Okay..." Aohte kiss and..she goes to do just that

He'll mix up a pitcher, add a bottle of scotch and glasses, and follows her up.

He includes water and some sports drinks, just in case.

Clever fellow...
