*Malefica nodded.*
"No spare oxygen at all. What could I have done to make it worse for them?"
*She looked up at him, questioning.*
"I have to learn to become more evil, because if I'm not, my mother will have an easy match with me. So I concider what I did to those two jerks practicing."
*She sighed.*
"I wish you could teach me, Icarus."

*Ok, things were getting weird. Didn't she just say that she couldn't stand practicing the dark arts? A test. For certain. He answered cautiously.*
"But darling...you will be pained if you do. I don't want that. And besides, White Magic would have more effect in this case. It seems a waste of time to teach you black magics."
*He took her gently by the shoulders.*
"If there is Black Magic to be done, I will do it. Do not be afraid, I will not abandon you."

*Malefica relaxed and embraced him lovingly. She kissed him on the cheek.*
"I am glad you want to spare me the pain, Icarus. You are right, it will harm me if I do. I will not abandon you either. Never. I love you."
*She snuggled closer to him and said quietly, more to herself than to him.*
"And if my mother tries to harm you or Eden, she will never be safe from my revenge, no matter where she choose to hide. Because I will hunt her down, and kill her, slowly and painful."

*Icarus couldn't help but smile at the thought.*
"Thank you."
*He glanced at the door and back at her.*
"Do you feel better now? Because I really should be getting back to work if there's nothing else you need."

*Malefica smiled and looked up at him, lovingly.*
"I meant it. Every word. I feel much better now. Thank you for listening to me. I'll leave you to your work... and your dinner. I made you something special tonight. I hope you'll like it."
*She placed her hand over the tray with food, to make sure the dinner was warm enough for him. Then she leaned over to him and kissed him hotly. When she broke the kiss she looked him deeply in the eyes and purred.*
"All I need is you."

*He smiled when he met her gaze and nodded.*
If only it were that simple.
*He turned back to his work for a moment, but then remembered the tray and pulled it closer to him.*
"Thank you."

*Malefica smiled and stroke his hair gently.*
"You're welcome. I hope you like it. And if you want me to bring you something afterwards, like dessert, tea or drink, just call me. I'm in my workroom if you need me. One of your black shirts have lost all its buttons, so I am sewing them back on again."

*He shut his eyes, tired and ready to get back to work.*
"Very well. I will. Good luck."

*Malefica looked at her husband for a moment. He looked really tired. She poofed up a cup of espresso for him before she left the room. It was a stronger coffee than the usual, and she hoped it would keep him awake, so he could focus on his work.*
"I see you later."
*She smiled before she quietly left the room and closed the door behind her.*

***FROM THE LIVING ROOM***
*Icarus sighed at the knock on the door. Maybe he hadn't been clear enough. He didn't stand or look up from the notes that were spread across the table, but his voice carried clearly.*
"Yes?"

*Malefica entered the study and came over to him.*
"I just wanted to apologize for my behavior. I didn't mean to go off on you like that. It's just... I have more problems than I can handle on my own. And I haven't slept properly for almost two weeks. I have recurring nightmares."
*She sighed.*
"My last nightmares are about my mother trying to take Eden with her somewhere."

*He sighed.*
"I'm sorry that things have been bothering you. But this is a stressful situation for everyone. We'll just have to get through it together."
*He looked at her expectantly.*
"Was there anything else?"

*She came over to him and wrapped her arms around him and hugged him.*
"Except from that I am worried to bits and pieces about Eden because of this? No not really. But I checked inside her room, and she's not there. And she has not told me she was going out. Do you know where she is?"

*He shook his head.*
"But she knows that we are working hard to protect her. She's probably outside trying to stay out from underfoot."
*He smiled, trying to be strong and put her at lease, but still...he couldn't help but wonder.*

*Malefica sighed and looked at him. She really didn't want to ask him this, but she had no choice.*
"And there's another thing I have to ask you as well... Just in case everything goes wrong...."
*She blushed and looked down.*
