WHO: Perseus and Deirdre
WHAT: Talking about living arrangements
WHEN: Augh, whatever day today is. Or a few days ago.
WHERE: Perseus' place



Perseus was married. He was so happy, there was no way to put it into words. He loved Deirdre and the way he felt about her was special. He had felt that way about only two people in his many centuries of existence.

They had gotten together to speak about living arrangements, and after greeting each other he had gone to fetch her some wine. He carried it back and smiled at her as he handed it over. "Here you are, Wife."

Comments

His comment made her giggle, like she was still a child and she took the glass. "thank you, husband." She was extremely happy. Maybe it hadn't been romantic, but it had been good and right. What hey had was not something she was going to let go.

She was also unwilling to remain in two different places. "So. Neither Patroclus nor Briseis mind one way or the other." Best to tackle this straight on, she felt. "So it is your preference. I do not mind busy homes, but it can get crowded."

"I don't mind crowded," Perseus said honestly. He spent a lot of time in a crowded station house, surrounded by other firefighters who enjoyed being up in each other's space. "If you love where you live now and don't want to leave your friends, I don't mind moving in. But if you would rather us be on our own, we could probably find somewhere new. This place is probably too small for both of us." It was pretty cramped and poor Gandalf wouldn't have much room at all.

She didn't mention her ex also figured out where Perseus lived now. She didn't feel like dealing with him every so often either. "I like having them around. But the place we have right now is pushing it for us three and Gandalf. I think we'd all get on one another's nerves right now. If it was bigger, there'd be less issue." With a frown she sipped from her drink. "Selfishly, I'd love for just a place for us two. I like people, but I've always shared." she gave him a shy smile and glanced down, "I'd rather not share this."

"I think that would be really nice," he said with a wide grin. "We can start looking for places whenever you want. We could even look online now if you want. I want to move in with you as soon as possible."

He wanted to be with her as much as he could before- It wasn't worth thinking about.

She nodded, "yes. I agree." Her friends would understand, they'd said so, and it wasn't like she was cutting them out of her life. "I wouldn't mind looking online. I could ask around, but I've never really looked for a home before." She was thinking of the things she could sell off to give a bit more capital to this. She wouldn't want Perseus to be burdened with all of it.

Perseus didn't mind paying for all of it, but it wasn't even something he thought to bring up. "What kind of a place are you thinking about?" he asked with a grin. "Near a park for Gandalf?"

[depthofsorrow.insanejournal.com]

Laughing she nodded, "that's exactly what I was thinking, actually." Her true preference would be in the woods somewhere, but Perseus seemed to enjoy his work and taking him away seemed cruel. "Preferable within decent distance of both are work places. And a big kitchen." She loved to cook, and with her new classes she'd like to be able to practice the things she was learning.

"Oh no arguments here!" Perseus laughed. He had a big appetite and he loved Deirdre's cooking. He wasn't terrible at it himself. "You know," he said practically reading her mind, but really it was because he liked being in the woods as well, "we could get a holiday home too. A quiet little cabin somewhere to escape to." He had the money for it, easily. He had been working for decades and he had never spent all that much of it.

She bit her lip, but the offer was truly too tempting. "If you're sure. I'm only working so much, and I have a bit but not too much. I don't want to burden you all with this." Then she smiled, "but I would like to have a place for when things here get too busy for me." Or Conchobar decided to come hound her. "So I would very much like that."

[herowithoneface.insanejournal.com]

Perseus smiled and he leaned in to kiss her. "I guess now is the time when I inform you we're rich, hmm?" he said with a grin. "And it's not a burden at all. You're my wife, the money is half yours. I think a getaway would be perfect. As much as I love living here, sometimes it gets too much for me too."

[depthofsorrow.insanejournal.com]

She returned the kiss, even if she was slightly stunned. She didn't know why. He had been a King at one point. "Oh. I didn't know. Now I'm trying not to sound vain." Smiling she went to take his hands. "alright then. That's settled. I'd also like to meet some of your family. The ones you think are alright. I've read up on your father, and I'm not too sure I'm willing to risk meeting him. With my luck, and my curse, well..." she shrugged and smiled, "but your sister Artemis? You said she's alright? I could make dinner for her?"

"I'd introduce my family to you but none of them are around anymore. I think Leabarcham would have liked you."

[herowithoneface.insanejournal.com]

Perseus made a face when Deirdre mentioned his father. "Not Zeus. Artemis is wonderful though and I think you two would get along well. You could go hunting together!" When Deirdre said none of her family were around any more, he felt strange. He couldn't imagine that. "I'm sorry," he said, kissing her hair.

She chuckled to his face, then nodded. "I would like that. She reminds me of a few of the Gods I used to worship. It's still so strange to know I could talk to them. Physically, anyway." She set her hand on his arm at his condolence, appreciating the thought. "It's alright. My father is but a footnote in my tale. Leabarcham only appears a few times. I've made a new family now." She looked at him with a smile, "one I love very much."

[herowithoneface.insanejournal.com]

Perseus grinned at that and he kissed her hand. "And we love you very much in return."

She was glad for that, and let her fingers touch his cheek before pulling back. Right now, she was perfectly happy and intended to stay that way.
