*Malefica looked at her husband and smiled sadly. The frustration of not being able to touch him without harming him was showing in her eyes.*
"I know, my dearest. Still, I can't help but worrying about you when you get hurt. I'm sorry I'm causing you so much trouble."

*Dracula shrugged and returned to his seat.*
"You did what you felt you had to at the time. I understand that."
As much as I can.

*Malefica stirred her tea and drank some of it.*
"Vladislaus, about the baby... is there anything I can do to help you?"

*Dracula shook his head.*
"I am to meet someone...but you have your family to care for. Your other calling. I am capable to handle this on my own."
*He smiled gently.* "Thank you, though."

*Malefica smiled and looked back at him.*
"You're welcome. You know I will do anything in my power to make you happy. Who are you going to meet?"

"Some scientist." *Dracula waved the thought away.* "I don't have all the details yet, but they will come in time."
*He turned back to his book.*

*Malefica looked up at her husband, clearly worried.*
"Some scientist? Does he have an established name, or any idea what he is doing? You should be careful around people like that, my dear."

*Something swelled in him and Dracula spun back to face her, his face stern.*
"Do not speak to me like I am some child. I have been at this longer than you can imagine. Trust in me to show some sense of judgement."
*He hunched back over his book.*

*Malefica looked up at her husband in mild surprise.*
"Vladislaus! How can you say that? Would I have married you if you were a child? Would I have shared your bed or given birth to your child if I thought you were immature? I don't doubt your judgment, I merely ask you to be careful."
*Her face softened.*
"I'm sorry, my love. It is merely my concern that you may fall in harm's way that makes me talk to you like that. And my endless love for you."

*Dracula's shoulders tensed, his eyes focused on the page.*
"I promise to be careful." *He vowed.*

*Malefica smiled and looked over at him. She noticed his tensed shoulders. If she could have touched him without burning him, she would have rubbed his shoulders gently, to release the tension. Now all she could give him, was sympathy.*
"If anything happens to you I don't know what I'll do...."
*She said quietly.*

*That made him smirk at the book in front of him, but his voice lifted.*
"Ah, but what did you do before? There is much of your life I was not privy to, and yet you managed."

*Malefica smiled.*
"True. But knowing you exist, makes my life much happier. And that knowledge gives me the strength I need to carry on with my tasks."

"Then I am glad to be of service."

"You make me proud to be your wife."
