"Well enough," *she said, sighing happily for a moment before she sat up.*
"I--"
*She glanced down.*
"...I'm in my undergarments."

"Well, you can't very well wear a day dress to bed--"

"Why not?" *she said, her cheeks flushing a bit as she tugged at the coverlet so she could tuck it around herself.*
"And y--you're not wearing a--um..."
*She looked at the ceiling.*
"...a...coat...or even a waistcoat..."

*Rudolf quirked an eyebrow at her*
"Yes? You've seen more than that before--"

"Well, yes...but...we...I...I'm...older...now...and...shouldn't that mean things ought to be more...austere?"
*She flailed, mentally, trying to justify her shyness.*
"...I have children!" *she blurted.*

*Rudolf was looking rather perplexed at this point, but also...he seemed to be trying not to laugh*
"Why should it be austere? Who says so?"
*He reached out to caress her cheek*
"And just because you have children, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the company of your spouse, hmm?"

*She half smiled at his touch, but raised her eyebrows chidingly.*
"I'm not your wife yet," *she said, her grin widening a little.*

"All right, not yet." He conceded.
"But you know what I mean."

"I'm sorry..." *she said.* "I argue syntax and petty technicalities when I get...er...you know."
*She waved a hand dismissively.*
"Flustered."

*He gave her a quick kiss*
"It's all right. But if this makes you so flustered, then I'll get dressed."

*She laughed a little.*
"Thank you for your concern for my delicate sensibilities," *she said, getting out of bed and finding her dress and shoes.*

*He was grinning as he hopped out of bed to dress, as well*
"I do what I can, my lady."

*She laughed outright, at that; then she gathered her thick curls over one shoulder and turned her back to him.*
"May I have a hand with my buttons, then, your Majesty? As you were the fiend who somehow managed to get them undone last night."
*She glanced back at him.*
"How DID you manage? I must have been a dead weight when I was asleep."

*He had on his face the most innocent expression he could muster when she glanced back at him*
"Your clothes aren't that difficult..."

"...and you have much practice?" *she said dryly.*
