behave

[mrmage]

There's a total lunar eclipse two weeks later, the first one since January 2001. That semiquarter and most of the next pass without much more noise. Jackson is occasionally sad because of his dom's electric toy, and he's occasionally more stripey than he wishes to be, but there's not a whole lot Sadde can do about that. Against his hopes, Mason doesn't dump Jackson, and nothing gives.

Sadde continues socializing with people, but no one new. And as the semiquarter approaches its end and summer break gets closer, Sadde receives an email from Tobias, saying that he fully expects his daughter to come home and tell everyone all about her first half year at magic school.

The email tells Sadde to behave.

Sadde is not in a good place.

"Sure. I mean, not necessarily overwhelming advantages, but still."

[mrmage]

"Yeah, it was mostly, I got used to being taken seriously and didn't have the thing where I was annoyed that people didn't."

[eclipsi]

"Exactly."

[mrmage]

He snuggles up. "Tiny you must've been really cute."

[eclipsi]

"Of course." Snuggle snuggle.

[mrmage]

"Hmm, okay, mustn't've been that terrible, today has been enough to get rid of- almost all of it."

[eclipsi]

"Well, that doesn't mean it wasn't terrible, it means snuggles are restorative." Nuzzle.

[mrmage]

"Well, yes, that, too, but I meant mostly it apparently- there apparently wasn't any permanent damage."

[eclipsi]

"Good. Back in good condition, my lovely my own." Snuggle.

[mrmage]

"Not completely. Not yet. But. It'll get better. I can fake it 'til I make it, getting my personality back is awesome."

[eclipsi]

"And you have a good while before he can reasonably expect you back."

[mrmage]

"Yes, thank the administration."

[eclipsi]

"Thank you, Selene Academic Calendar!"

[mrmage]

Giggle.

[eclipsi]

She kisses his head. "You in the mood for sex or too wrung out?"

[mrmage]

"Hmm, it's been two weeks, you might have to tell me what to do."

[eclipsi]

"Oh no. How will I cope."

[mrmage]

"I know, right. But if you're up for it..."

[eclipsi]

She kisses him.

And tells him what to do.

[mrmage]

Good. He likes it much more when it's her.

[eclipsi]

Good.

Nothing strenuous, nothing to keep them up late. Just lovey possessive protective carnal knowledge and then snuggles and sleep.

[mrmage]

And Sadde will stay up for Nouns because he has missed Nouns.

[eclipsi]

Nouns appear! "Cabbage. Train. Florida. Deep pile Persian shag carpet. Rosary."

[mrmage]

...deep pile Persian shag carpet? Okay, this one he's gonna remember.

[eclipsi]

Zzzzzzzz.
