I think my back is finally healing over.

titusedenthaw:

All right.. That’s understandable.

T - thank you for understanding, Titus.

Would you just look at her? She’s practically bursting off her skin with giddiness and teenage excitement and goofy anticipation. All fidgeting, like she can’t contain want and love for him.  Licking her lips like tasting him more, and getting drunk on this taste.  It has been, what? 20 years, since they have known each other, around 10 years since they have been married, and she still acts like completely smitten with him. Like they have just snogged for the first time and his taste, his warmth, his closeness affects every fiber of senses and nerves in her body. That hunger, that flirting, just ridiculous happiness beaming off her. Because she found her place - by his side, everything she would ever want from life - in his closeness. Once again,  she confirms that he is the one, the one and only. And she has got noticeable lines on her eyes, they have been through so much, death, losses, they grew up, grew old, learned each other anew, and yet that longing for each other remains, unshattered, maybe stronger than ever before. Because now they know that nothing can touch them. That they are invincible. And after all that she still wants him and loves him like  it is their first time.

Y-yeah, he… he was really upset and confused by the change when I— He really likes his routine. He knows when it’s time to be fed, when it’s time to nap, even when Titus comes home from work. [She laughs.] I definitely do. He drooled all over my shoulder that day. Naps have to happen at 3pm or he’s out like a light. I think I will ask her. She did raise thirteen babies. Hey. It’s alright, Xavier.

It’s okay now though… I mean besides the teething, his routine is back to normal now. It’s so funny how that happens. At least you know when you’re getting a break though which is handy. Exactly, she had got to have some tricks up her sleeves. I - I know…

laureledenthaw:

Yeah, his memory is pretty shoddy right now. He’s anxious around people we see all the time, it’s weird. But he won’t remember when he;s older, no. I just have to comfort him now. We should. Or I can ask momma. She would know. Yeah, well that attention is all wrong. Alright Xavier, you better.

Maybe… it might be because he got out of his regular routine for a few weeks. I think Magnus likes things to remain the same otherwise he gets fussy. Do you remember the day we didn’t let him take a nap at 3pm because we were out. He just kept falling asleep anyway. Your mother is very knowledgeable, she might have a good tip or two. I - [he goes quiet, still to scared to say anything against the Capitol.] I promise.

laureledenthaw:

I hope so, too. I hate seeing him cranky and tired because he’s in pain all the time. It upsets me so much. I know. I’m trying everything to help him but he’s got it rough. Way to go, Capitol. You don’t need to be. You just need to be a good ice cream eating buddy, okay?

We just have to remember that he won’t even remember this later on. It’s terrible at the time but we soon forget it. There has to be a good solution, we should do some reading up on it. The Capitol focuses it’s attention where it thinks it needs it. [he smiles] I think I can do that.

laureledenthaw:

Then I just might have to do that. But I’ll demand nicely. I know, poor thing. But once those are both in he’s got at least another few months before any other ones come through. Apparently babies aren’t high on the list. I know you were, I know. But we really care about you and we would never let anything happen to you, okay?

Hopefully when the next few come through they just come quickly and all together. It’s terrible the way the body forgets the pain until it’s happening again. That’s strange since they are the world’s future. I do know that. I’m - I am more grateful than I could ever express.

Oy, I don’t want you doing any hard work, by the way.

You hear?

I - I need to. I promise not to do anything that will make my wounds worse but I need to do my job.

It’s what I’d do to them if Laurel or Magnus was taken from me.

I do not doubt that for a second. They would be fools to even try.

titusedenthaw:

I don’t think they’d want to do that. I’d have their head on spikes in moment’s notice.

That is a little gruesome. I can imagine the fear it would cause though.

laureledenthaw:

Hm. Alright. But they still need to happen. Well, one of them has on the bottom and the second one’s about to come through which is just making things… horrible all over again for him. Oh, Xavier. You know Titus and I wouldn’t let them take you away from us forever,

Well.. by law, I cannot legally say no to you so if you wanted an ice cream break you can demand it of me. Two at once, ouch. I always thought the Capitol would have solutions to these problems now. I - I do know that. I was just worried.
