Cardan: Jude, you can't do this.
Jude: Don't worry, I have a permit. *hands Cardan piece of paper*
Cardan: *deadpan* This says 'I can do what I want'.
Jude: *nodding* Uh huh.

"JUDE, YOU CAN'T do this," Cardan begins, sighing in exasperation. Once again, his wife is trying to run headfirst into danger. They're in the mortal world again, because Jude got bored at the palace and wants to go on another mission for that faerie she worked with while in exile, Bryem.  

Jude raises a brow in return. "Can't I?"

"No. This mission that you are attempting to accept is to hunt down a wild, possibly mad and out-of-their-mind pixie who has been biting mortals. I'd like to have my wife still in one piece at the end of today, please," Cardan tells Jude.

She bites her lip absently, and Cardan now has to fight to stay concentrated. He hates when she does that. It makes him immediately want to take her in his arms and kiss her.

She stays silent, reddening under Cardan's searching black eyes, until suddenly, her eyes light up. She rustles around in the pocket of her dress for a while, finally emerging proudly holding up a thin slip of paper. "I forgot about this! I prepared a permit," the High Queen says, a teasing note in her voice.

Her husband takes it from her, wondering what it could be. Knowing Jude, nothing ordinary.

Now it's his turn to raise an eyebrow. "This says, 'I can do what I want'," he deadpans, keeping a completely straight face.

Jude nods. "Uh huh," she says with a grin. "Isn't that great?"

"On one term," Cardan says, giving in. "I get to go with you. In that case, should the pixie try to chop you into pieces, I'll be there to chop them into pieces."

"And here I was thinking your one virtue was that you'd never be a murderer," Jude teases.

He rolls his eyes. "Do you accept or not? Otherwise, I'm sweeping you back home and locking you in our bedroom."

Jude holds up her hands. "I accept. Although, I don't think I'd mind that much being locked in a bedroom with you. Alone works as well."

"Although the bedroom might be out of the picture for now, this isn't," Cardan says, giving her a quick kiss. Jude returns it, then they set out for yet another misadventure.
