Much better. Frank felt himself significantly relax once they left the crowed room and walked into the larger foyer area. All that chattering and pleasing and sucking up-- it had become harder and harder for him to deal with. There was only so much fakeness he could take after having to deal with reality for so long.
"Other things?" he repeated, not understanding at first. Frank turned to Alice behind him, hoping for a cue from her face. Staying home? As in... not going into work everyday. And doing other things that were much less serious than they had been dealing with for the past three years. Well--- who wouldn't want that? And if he could give that to Alice, which he could, then he would.
Nodding his head slowly, Frank began to smile. His feet stopped, giving Alice enough time to move closer to him, "I think," he started slowly, wrapping his arms around her and dipping his chin low while doing so. "If you want to, then it's a very good idea."
Actually, the more he thought about it, the more he wished he had realized this earlier. The idea of taking a break from being an auror had never occurred to him before. But now... would be a good time? Life was beginning to become much different now--- Frank couldn't quite bring himself to think that meant he could just drop being an auror though. It had been apart of him for so long, something he had latched onto as a defining subject of who he was... so maybe he would just take next week off. Start small and ease into it.
