"How odd."

"What happens on wednesday?"

"Nothing that I can think of" He frowns "Pooka have to lie, could that be part of it? "

Earl has been nibbling at his food

"Mayhaps..."

"I know your focus on the meanings she left behind but... the food is delicious, thank you"

"They're mine, not Mama's. I'm glad you like."

He smiles "Then it's doubly good, for I know how you work extra hard with odd and strange troll tastes"

"Aye! So stark and fresh! I know not how you stand it... " She sneaks in a kiss. "Mayhaps... we could take the rest upstairs?"

"For I fear now you may need rest.... such a long day, mayhaps you need bed..."

"Yes, I'd like that."

She winds around him, picking up the plate without losing contact. "Aye..."

"I...mmm" He likes the way she moves about him, brushes him lightly "Bed you say?"

"Aye. Bed. Mama's not home..."

A long kiss, and he heads up at her insistence.. one must not disappoint

Certainly, the bed is involved... rest, however?

Well, that is not for most to know, and them to smile about
