It was a good thing she had become used to wearing flats when running errands with the children, because with how fast Bess twisted around in surprise, she was sure her ankles would have snapped and she would have fallen to a heap on the floor. Instead, she managed to stay upright, and after a millisecond of thought a mischievous grin appeared on her face. Yes, distraction would be the best weapon against the monster that was Charlie Spinnet. Bess could most certainly keep her husband occupied for as long as necessary.
She leaned back against the desk and crossed her arms, her eyes raking over Drystan's half-dressed form. Well, he was already right on his way into some fun misadventures, wasn't he? What was he even doing home? He did not look as if he had seen anything in print about his sister and the Kestrel, so this was a very, very good thing for Bess. Her hand flicked quickly, motioning for him to shut the door behind him. Brian could keep himself occupied with his toy quaffles, Stephen was most likely passed out asleep, and Sadie was good at knocking on doors, but she also knew that 'Adult Time' was a time that was not to be interrupted and usually found something to occupy her time.
"I don't think it's particularly fair that you're nearly naked already," Bess said swiftly, her eyes unable to pull themselves away from her husband's torso to look him in the eye. Why hadn't he shut the door yet? What had she even been doing in here, again? "I miss out in all the fun of undressing you."
