PSL - James Watson | Helen Magnus ---> We're glad for what we've got

[ladyofblood]

It had been a long day for Helen, a very long day indeed, and she was exhausted after everything that had happened, the emotional toll of finally ending the Ripper case and dealing with Adam. She'd taken her time the next day, spent a lot of it downstairs or in the library, trying to keep herself occupied. But eventually, it became too much and she sought out the only other person she could: James.

Wherever he was, she needed to talk to him. Much as she wanted to deal with it herself, she knew she couldn't. He'd been helping her deal with John first and then the Ripper case, and so she knew, despite everything else, that she could rely on him.

Her footsteps were quiet, her skirts barely rustling as she approached his study first. If he wasn't there, she would check the library next. And if he wasn't there, she'd bury herself in the books. She could use the distraction.

Helen flushed bright red through her smile, unable to hide her embarrassment. Perhaps that was for the best, as she found herself completely incapable of hiding how she was feeling from him. Not that she wanted to anyway.

"I would like that, darling," she murmured softly, leaning up to gently kiss his nose. As she pulled back away, her eyes flicked back down to his lips for the briefest of moments. She couldn't help wondering what he might have in mind for their morning. They had a little time left before she, at least, would need to check on the residents. After that... she had no ideas at all as to what they might do and she didn't mind that for once.

Perhaps she would let him decide for them.

"I would like it very much if I could spend my days with you now."

No and he didn't want her to either. He liked having her not hiding things away and the kiss was taken with a smile. And well for his plans for the morning he wasn't entirely sure what to do, except to spoil her for a time before she had to leave and he went to make her breakfast.

Because it was easier then sitting here waiting really.

"You will always be able to do so, darling." He murmured and kissed her lips gently before pulling back. "Perhaps a walk? Or is there anywhere in particular you would like to visit?"

[ladyofblood]

She certainly wouldn't mind being spoiled, though she would have to come up with ways to return the favor. "I wouldn't mind a walk," she admitted softly. "We could simply stroll along the hallways and perhaps down to a few shops later today?"

One of her hands lifted to cup his cheek so she could give him another good morning kiss. If he didn't decide to keep her there with him for a little longer, she would slide off the bed to grab a change of clothes and begin preparations for the day. Getting dressed and ready always took her a good amount of time, but in this instance she was looking forward to what the day would bring.
