[thunderproof]

I'll remember that too.

❰ but it's by far the least important thing that's happened in this conversation. ❱

I'd ask who your husband could possibly be, buuuuut...

[elegiaque]

( ugh fuck she's getting sloppy )

I married Thor of Asgard and we're keeping it a secret because Loki would lose his mind.

( utterly deadpan )

[thunderproof]

I'll have to let his mgisterialness know that you spend so much of your time in the Provost's office, then, I'm sure he'd have opinions.

❰ adalia sounds a bit too delighted by this, sorry. ❱

[elegiaque]

The Provost and I have been friends for more than two years, it's not remarkable.

( what's remarkable is how no one has fucking remarked on it, honestly. )

[thunderproof]

I mean the friendship probably was, at one point.

❰ if gwen's initial snippiness about elven things was anything to go by, anyway. ❱

I'm sorry I was shittalking your husband, earlier. In my defense I didn't know he was your husband at the time.

[elegiaque]

I've said worse about him to his—

[elegiaque]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[thunderproof]

❰ gwen ur cute ❱

I'd ask if I have to pretend to be married to him as well, same as I pretend I need the witherstalk tea, but —

[elegiaque]

Thank you for reminding me that you can keep a secret.

[thunderproof]

I am better at secrets than you'd think, probably.

❰ considering no one knows she's a soulless minion of an ancient dragon god of undeath — ❱

I won't tell anyone about you two. I don't see how it's anyone's business, for one thing, and for another... well, what I just said, mostly.

[elegiaque]

I appreciate it.

( it's quiet, but she means it. )

It isn't anyone's business. It won't matter, forever, but—for now.

[thunderproof]

It's not. Anyone's business, that is.

❰ said with all the genuine gentility adalia can muster, trying to sound sincere...

however. ❱

Him, though? "I'm older than you and you're insignificant so shut up and do as I say", him, really?

[elegiaque]

( gwenaëlle could wax poetic on thranduil's virtues if she were so inclined—but she wouldn't offer them up as counterweight to his flaws. many of the virtues would grate, probably, if he weren't such an arsehole into the bargain. )

Yes,

( eventually, decisively, )

him.

( she is quite satisfied with her choice. )

[thunderproof]

Well, so long as he makes you happy and treats you well.

❰ which it sounds like he does, at least. ...but. adalia is realizing something. ❱

Oh, gods, I know too much about the kind of sex the Provost enjoys. I'll never be able to not remember any of that.
