It... appears to be mine. [And thank the Goddess for that-- if Jack and Eugene had come back to their home and found her and Zevran...]

[The other plus is that her room has all of her clothes. So Vastra is very fast with a nightgown and heavy dressing gown out of the closet, followed by furious digging for something that would fit Zevran. Perhaps his clothes were still in the living room...]

Not that it would matter if we were in your home. Jack and Eugene no doubt are thinking exactly what we are thinking now. And I'm not certain which is worse: the fact that we both know exactly what we did, or the fact that they have no idea and are left to the mercies of their cruel imaginations.

I do believe you bent me over and pounded me into the mattress. At least that is what I assume judging by this very familiar sore sensation.

[ He manages to crackle a soft laugh. Shifts are shifts. He can forgive himself this transgression if Vastra is able to do the same. It is not as though he and the boys have not lain with another during these shifts in the past. Loki, in particular, is a common favorite of the Malnosso to offer to his boys. ]

A shift is a shift, Vastra. So long as you forgive me my affections, I forgive you yours. They will understand.

[Vastra takes a moment to bury her face into the nearest article of clothing and finally pulls out a robe that looks less feminine. She had some longer hakama in her closet somewhere, too, but for the moment she hurries back to Zevran and drapes the robe gently over him. Then she turns and rubs her face hard.]

As far as I'm concerned, you have nothing to be forgiven for. You are right, a shift is a shift. [She folds her arms.] However, once a bell has been rung, it cannot be unrung. They may understand, however they will never forget.

However, if I am reading the situation correctly, they will be very happy to see you again at the very least.

If I may?

[ He manages to dress himself with his eyes closed, a robe is a robe after all and he has quite a bit of experience with many sorts of robes. ]

It was not the worst shift I have endured. It was...pleasant. To be so enamored with a woman once more. The last it happened for me it did not end well. At least you yet live, and will live well.

[ No longer his Madame Vastra, but one that holds affection and respect from him all the same. He should hope that he'd manage a similarly affectionate relationship with his boys in the future. ]

Oh-- yes, I'm dressed.

[She, however, keeps her back to Zevran as she listens. Zevran would obviously get the same privacy he had afforded her.]

Yes, well, part of me wishes that were not so right now. [She scoffs, rubbing her forehead again.] It wasn't the worst thing I've endured either. I have been left with worse things to ponder, it's true. But I am still afraid of how this could change my relationship to all three of you. [How it changed what she thought when she thought of Jenny.]

You are as you ever were. A woman beyond reproach. A warrior and Lady of means and respect. A dutiful and faithful wife to your Jenny. What happened here was a lie. That much I am quite familiar with, Madame Vastra. We were made to prostitute ourselves for the sake of the shift's narrative.

We have done nothing wrong.

It was pleasant. [She says that as though she's expecting someone to punish her for it.]

You were a passionate and dominant lover. The first male I've been with. The fact that I am not... thinking back on it with distaste gives me cause to wonder how faithful I am.

It does not make you unfaithful, Vastra. It means that perhaps, back home with your wife, you might request her to be a little more dominant. From what you have told me of your Jenny? It should not be beyond her.

Well we have always had a... system. [That's pretty much as far as she's going to go with the description.] It works well for both of us.

I have no doubt it would not be impossible for her, but we have been very happy with how things are. [She looks down at her rug and crosses her arms.] Perhaps because I never felt alone in our home. I did not need someone to pay attention to me because I felt as though I was the center of her life, and she was the center of mine.

[Perhaps it wasn't the lovemaking. Perhaps it was the feeling of being someone's center again.]

[ He has no intention of inquiring further. Such things are sacred, even here. ]

You miss her dearly, do you not? It must be difficult to be away from one you love for so long.

Yes-- which is why we have to get you back to your own home. [She turns around slowly to check Zevran's state of dress before coming completely around.] Jack and Eugene are no doubt concerned.

I...do not look forward to that, actually. I fear it may be terribly awkward.

[ Terribly? Ha! Understatement. ]

I would not call your fears unfounded. Usually I have advice for every situation, however what to say to one's spouse after having relations with their mother is not one I have ever come across. And I believe that is saying something.

I will sort something out. Somehow. You've my thanks for your support and your kindness all the same, Vastra. I shall let you know how it goes.
