Draco had a potion book hovering in front of him at a table in their rooms in the Guild, currently poring over a very complicated potion entry. Occasionally he did a slight wave of his hand to change pages and sipped his tea as he let a quick notes quill copy down notes on a piece of parchment. He had an idea for a new special edition potion order that he hoped would take off at Dragonlight. One that produced sparkling snowflakes on command.

"Why? Does it have to be even one night?"

[gorgonfondness]

"Yes, at least one night, and the more the better. Draco..."

She holds his hands.

There's no reason why they can't have some contact.

"This is important to me. Because you're important to me. And we got married in the middle of you trying to find yourself. I want you to keep looking, and while we can look together, it's important that you have some time to look by yourself."

He frowned, "I have been looking by myself before, and that turned out horribly at times."

[gorgonfondness]

She rubs his knuckles.

"Still, if you can't be by yourself for one night a week, then there is some sort of problem."

Draco looked evenly back at her silently, worry in his expression.

[gorgonfondness]

"Trust me, dear, with how much that can be done, once a week will hardly feel like any time at all. Just the other night, Tom invited you over to the House of Arch. And you can catch up with your parents if you like. I know you miss them."

"A little. I do miss Tom, it's been too long."

[gorgonfondness]

"Now that's not right. He's your friend, your former boss, and the best man at our wedding."

A reassuring kiss to his knuckles.

"Why don't you go see him this coming Saturday, if not sooner? Then Sunday can be set aside for us and we can do something like that every weekend."

Until she's not quite so worried.

Draco thought about it.

"All right, next weekend, I'll pop in at the House. My rooms there could use a good airing too."

[gorgonfondness]

"All right. Then we'll have to think of something to do on Sunday. I don't want you spending all of your Saturday planning out your time with me. Thinking about it, maybe, but not obsessing over details and such."

"Been too long since we've had a picnic."

[gorgonfondness]

"But it is getting awfully cold."

Oh no!

They'll have to resort to shared body heat!

Draco smirked, "Mia darling? You know fire magic. I'm a wizard. It's not a concern."

[gorgonfondness]

"I thought the point of a picnic was to keep things simple."

She thinks.

"Oh, we could bring that lovely blanket Kyle and Jessica gave us at our wedding. It would be easier to enchant that ahead of time instead of worrying about it when it happens."

But drat! No shared body heat!
