*Soft humming and the sound of bare feet on a wood floor drift into the bedroom. A moment later Nymphadora appears, wearing a black button-down shirt a few sizes too big. She carries a plate of apples with peanut butter, and as she walks into the room, two glasses of milk obediently float behind.*

She's still asleep. Not for long, though -- she's doing that thing with her foot -- so I fixed her a snack so it'd be ready. And then I got hungry, too.

*Grinning, Nymphadora hands Bernard the plate of apples and climbs into bed beside him, burrowing under the covers before plucking the glasses out of the air and handing him one.*

Well? I mean, I needed saltpeter. Lots of it.

*He shrugs*

*A knowing grin not unlike the one she saw on the cover of that New York Times from 1970.*

Well.

I am a loyal and passionate patriot.

*He flushes again, and bites his lip*

Well, it wasn't all that organized, you know. I'm afraid I was compared more often to Charlie Manson than to John Kerry or any of the more sedate protestors, and how weird is it that I met him in Washington once and he ran for president last year?

*He laughs shortly*

Looking back, seems like I was cut out for this sort of thing all along. The Woodpecker Gang was just a practice run.

*A cough*

Um.

We got into a fistfight.

*He snickers and bites his lip, wrinkling his nose*

I called him a pussy.

*He leans over the edge of the bed and delivers the final blow*

Hasn't changed much really.

*He cocks an eyebrow*

I did briefly wish to be un-Bound in mid-October when I head he was running, just so I could go blast his campaign headquarters and blame it on Bush.

But then I realized that I'd have to take credit. The look on his tombstone-face would be worth its weight in gold.

*He flops over onto his stomach and rests his chin on his folded arms near the edge of the bed, grinning.*

Not in the last half hour or so. And that was in the throes of ecstasy and not to be trusted.

*He smiles softly and kisses her again, then rests his head back on his arms, eyes roving over her face slowly, taking everything in.*



You know, people always ask me how things are, as a matter of conversation, or as concerned acquantences and friends...

And for once there's really nothing to complain about. No bone-deep trauma, no silent yearning for what I can't have.

It's only now that things are quiet that I realize what a hard road it's been for us so far.

Yeah. Now's your chance to find out what a dick I really am and run screaming for the hills. Huzzah!

*He's joking. Mostly.*

*The smile fades from his face.*

You know, Crowley's kind of a dolt when it comes to other people sometimes.
