*While she had dressed, Rochester had slipped into his own room to change, hoping to find Kris, but was not successful. He pursed his lips and rejoined Imogen. He smiled gently.*
"If you'd like, I can show you to the sitting room and see if I can find where she's vanished off to."

*Imogen nodded, once.*
"Whatever you think is best."

*Rochester smiled sweetly and offered his arm as he led her downstairs to the parlor. After seeing her situated, he nodded and kissed her gently.*
"I promise I will be right back."

"Very well," *she said placidly, sitting in an armchair.*

*Rochester left to go find Kris.*
((Paging Kris...))

((Here?))
*Kris looked up from her book as Rochester entered. Alone. She felt bad about before, because she was a guest and anyway it wasn't like she cared if he saw other people. It was just...*
"Hey," *she said, smiling at him.*

*Rochester smiled and touched her hand gently.*
"I am sorry, darling. I didn't mean to surprise you so. Are you all right?"

*Kris took his hand.*
"Yes. I'm sorry; I wasn't expecting her. Of course, you've a right to have anyone you please stay here. It's only..."
*She looked away, a troubled expression worrying her features.*

*Rochester took her hand tenderly, lifting her chin with the fingers of his other.*
"Sweet Kris...what is it? To see you troubled is perplexing."

"I know, right?"
*She bit her lip, thinking. What was the policy on showing one's hand here? Emily had told Genghis all about herself, and probably ruined months of careful--okay, maybe not. But wouldn't it be more fun if Rochester didn't know what he was getting into?
Nah.*
"I know her, Rochester. By reputation only, but... It seems that she's been married. Often. And her husbands all mysteriously die soon after." *She shrugged.* "I'm not saying she did it. But it's not a good pattern, now, is it?"
*Suddenly she thought of something and laughed.*
"But of course, that would require *you* to marry her, wouldn't it? Well, I've put my own fears to rest."

*Rochester considered what Kris said. After all, he didn't know Imogen well at all. But she seemed so agreeable. But wasn't that only adding credence to her words? After all, with a name as long as Imogen's, it was completely believable that she had been married...a few times. His smile blossomed and he drew Kris into his embrace.*
"Oh darling...does that mean that you aren't cross with me? You're just looking out for my wellbeing?"

*Kris laughed and snuggled into his embrace, enjoying the warm clean scent of him.*
"Of course. I can't be jealous of you, Rochester. Who am I to deny the world your charms?"
((I need to get Shadi back in on the action; I've been waiting for the scene with Sinclair to play out so I know whether she has something to run to R crying about. But I miss them.))

((I miss them too. Bunches. And Rochester needs to meet River. Which by the way...I need to PM you about. I'll send it to this account.))
*Rochester held her firmly against him.*
"I promise to be careful then. And don't you worry...I'm not looking to marry anytime s...well ever."
*Her looked down on her with a tooth grin.*
"But she would like to speak with you. Are you agreeable?"

*Kris wrinkled her nose in a manner she assumed to be adorable.*
"That's all I need to hear," *she said.* "And I'm happy to meet her, if she desires it."

*Rochester's dimple deepened. The way she wrinkled her nose was so adorable. He kissed her gently and whispered in her ear, as if there was a need to.*
"Darling...I'm not about to leave you. Or Alex for that matter. I'm far too fond of you both."
*He leaned back and fitted her hand into the crook of his arm, giving a tilt of his head.*
"Shall we then?"
