called_lionessShe doesn't, actually, want to tell him this.
But she is, because--well.
Wives do things like that, she's certain, tell their husbands about magic compasses.
...Maybe. There isn't a book. She rather wishes there were.
But there isn't, and it's been a week, and it's harder to make herself dream apart from the woman she knows is waiting for her, and so she pulls the silver object out of its drawer and sighs as she goes to find her husband.
Lucy supposes the honeymoon had to end sooner or later.

no subject
Date: 2006-09-26 03:49 am (UTC)He wants to believe her, but he doesn't.
"What do you think will happen now?" he asks, instead, because it is easier than saying what he would otherwise.

no subject
Date: 2006-09-26 03:57 am (UTC)He watches her steadily, and doesn't want to continue, but after a moment, he does anyway.
"Or here?"
no subject
Date: 2006-09-26 04:03 am (UTC)She stops, then, because--because she's not been told, but she finds saying she doesn't know isn't quite true.
"I think both," Lu admits after a moment.

Date: 2006-09-26 04:06 am (UTC)"And when you find the way?" Still quiet, still calm.

Date: 2006-09-26 04:08 am (UTC)But Lucy adds, softly, "But I would want you to be with me," as she looks at his lap, and it's a little bit more hopeful than she'd thought it would be.

no subject
Date: 2006-09-26 04:30 am (UTC)"Aye, so you did. I'm sorry, Lu, of course I'll be there."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-26 04:32 am (UTC)"That's what I want most. Whichever way I go, to have you there." If she can have it.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-26 04:45 am (UTC)"I miss her," he says, softly, putting an arm around Lucy and drawing her closer.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-26 04:50 am (UTC)"She's here enough, though."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-26 04:54 am (UTC)But he stops, smiles wryly.
"It hardly matters. I'm glad you see her, at any rate."
