Martyred Saint's Day
Marlow had never celebrated Valentine's Day. She knew about it and why, but it didn't really register. There was extra chocolate around in brightly wrapped foils, and heart shaped cookies available in the kitchen, but given how much the compound residents ate every day the extra goodies didn't last long enough to give her a clue they were for a reason other than the usual one.

She thought the valentine Zoey gave her was lovely and told the little girl so. It was on the mirror in her bedroom along with the Christmas card Zoey had given her. In return, she drew on Zoey's cheek with her fingertip and bit of magic to give her a sparkly red heart that would fade within a few hours.

	"Is that all, luv? Surely there has to be other things a pretty girl like you enjoy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I really don't get out much," she murmured. "Cream and sugar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a bloody shame, luv. Perhaps you'd let me take you out? Black please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Marlow slid his mug of tea toward him. "I...uh...okay." She immediately dumped extra sugar into hers. Did she just agree to go out with Quinn? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-15 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Quinn grinned broadly. "It's a date. Don't worry, we'll have a smashing good time. Promise." Quinn took a sip of his tea. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 01:36 am UTC (link)
	She smiled back. His enthusiasm was hard to resist. "There are cookies if you would like some. I have to hide them from Ohu so Svalin and I get a share. She shares the bungalow with me when she's not in Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-15 01:43 am UTC (link)
	"Luv, you're spoiling me. Cookies would be great and I'm completely yours." He was still smiling and he gave her a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 03:36 am UTC (link)
	She retrieved the cookies from their hiding spot on a top shelf, far above her head and right in Svalin's reach. A bit of magic floated the container to her waiting hands. "You shouldn't say that lightly to a sorceress," she chided in an amused voice. "We take such things seriously." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like to live dangerously," he said. He grinned. "Besides, I wouldn't mind being subservient to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 04:14 am UTC (link)
	She laughed, possibly the first full laugh out of her since she arrived on Earth. "You're in luck, I haven't had any experience with a minion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-15 04:38 am UTC (link)
	"So tell me," he said as he grabbed a cookie. "What does being your minion entail?" He winked, waggled his eyebrows and then bit into the cookie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 05:01 am UTC (link)
	"Hrm..." Marlow tapped the side of her mug with a fingertip. "Aside from my errands and running interference when one of the gods takes it in their heads to do something that disturbs the rest of the compound, I would require my morning chocolate to be the perfect color, my afternoon tea be served with fresh cookies, and all the tags in my shirts removed promptly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-15 05:22 am UTC (link)
	"That doesn't sound too taxing. Anything else?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 05:33 am UTC (link)
	"Don't say that until you get between the gods and their meals," she warned with a grin. "Then there are the demons. This part of the country seems to attract them. I could use a minion with power to draw from when they attack again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-15 05:42 am UTC (link)
	"Well, luv, if demons attack, I'll need my power to fend them off," he said. Unfortunately outside of England he was an above average sorcerer and needed all the power he could get. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"Then I guess you won't do as a minion." She did well enough on her own. The power surges always seemed to come at just the right time. "I didn't even get to the part of running my bath or fluffing my pillows." That bit was drawn directly from the last book she'd read. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-15 05:52 am UTC (link)
	"I'll still do those," Quinn grinned. "Just say the word. Do I get to wash your back too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 11:58 am UTC (link)
	"Are you skilled with a sponge?" Marlow asked before the words actually registered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-15 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm an expert with a sponge, luv. I've had much practice." He gave her a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-16 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Marlow's meager store of learned flirtations expired with a blush that lingered on her cheeks. "You didn't learn to flirt from Doctor Strange. He uses worse lines than an old Dracula movie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-16 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"He probably learned then from an old Dracula movie he watched when it first came out," Quinn grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-16 03:06 am UTC (link)
	She laughed. "He must've been born middle aged because he's looked the same since I was given to Clea to raise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-16 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"He was born in the 1930's...well my Dr. Strange was. Don't know if the one here was." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-16 04:57 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know when this one was born, but he talks like a bad horror movie sometimes. It was a relief when I discovered I didn't need to rhyme every spell or even speak the words to make them work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-16 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Quinn nodded. "That sounds like him. Any him I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
