"I know-" *he said, cringing again.*

"I think I may have overdone it," he said after a pause. "I may have given them too much."
He looked at Aziraphale and blinked his pale eyes.
"But it was only fair."

"Just hush now. It's all right..."

"I'm quite fine now, dear," said Herbert, smiling serenely. Perhaps a little too serenely, in honesty.

*Marishka's head appeared from the top of the stairs again, looking to see if it was safe to come down.*
*Aziraphale smiled at Herbert a little warily, not noticing Marishka.*

"You're not even listening to me, are you?" Herbert snapped, face falling. "Oh, God, you're going to ask me to leave"

"Herbert, stop it. I will do no such thing," *he said looking him in the eye.*

"Oh, good," said Herbert, smiling again. "Because if you did, I'd just take those scissors from the desk and sharpen the nearest piece of wood into a stake and kill myself, and then you'd have to clean up after me."

*Aziraphale blinked and smiled weakly.*
"That won't be necessary."

Herbert nodded very solemnly and wandered off to a nearby chair, where he put his face in his hands.

*Aziraphale went over to Herbert and rubbed his shoulders.*
*Marishka chose that moment to creep down, cringing when the stairs creaked under her.*

"Sometimes I just can't take it anymore," Herbert sighed lagubriously. "Why does everything have to be so hard?"

*Aziraphale sighed and shook his head, planting a kiss on his cheek.*
*Marishka eyed Herbert with a frown. He didn't make it much easier for himself, she thought, though she knew it wasn't entirely his fault. She cleared her throat, cringing a little at interrupting them.*
"Er. Hello. Should I- I mean, I can go away- um, away away, if you want- Sorry."

"No, no, come here and sit on my knee. And cover yourself, woman, now that he's seen you!"

*She shrugged, but went to him a bit nervously. It was best to be on guard when he was like this.*
"I'm not indecent or anything."
