"Good to hear then," he replied with a chuckle finally letting her go but still remaining close. "Wouldn't want my dearest Elinor to have a bad day." Nigel also wasn't about to let her out of his sight at the moment. Nope, nope, nope. She was off work, and so technically he could be too so why not spend the time together. Him and his love, hanging out during their free time, just like all the other couples.

Well no...not like other couples. Because they were speeecial.

"I love the way you say my name..." he got out with a smile as she questioned him. "Nigel..." he repeated to himself before reacting to her second inquiry. "What is what?" Nigel asked, tilting his head as he looked at Elinor, an expression of loss and confusion now upon his paling face.

His gentle laughter sounded so good. Elinor beamed up at him, absolutely surprised and... okay, happy at the affection he was giving her. She hadn't been in love since her late husband had gone, let alone recieved any kind of loving attention.

Wait--wait, Elinor, STOP. Do NOT get carried away.

Something was very wierd here. VERY. Wierd. And not the cute wierd that Nigel was the definition of. This was wierd wierd. "I... love to say your name," she said a little absently, taking another glance around the office. She was curious about the tiny bits of potion that had not been cleaned. She was curious about Nigel's uncensored comments about her. She was curious about his pale face... Did he look a little clammy? She pressed a hand gently to the side of his handsome face.

"You are acting ...bizzare. And you seem a little cold... Are you feeling alright?" Her eyebrows raised in concern. She would be lying if she said she didn't like the way he was acting... It was just, as she said, bizzare.

She stared at him a moment or two before letting her hand drop. She reached for the teacup and started to hand it to him. "Why don't you sit and have some..."

Gosh, how much honey did Nigel need in his tea? The smell intensified as she held the cup at her chest. She took a moment to raise it to her nose. This must've been a most peculiar kind of tea. It smelled like honey and...

Mint chocolate-chip ice cream.

OH. DEAR. LORD.

The woman froze, her eyes widening, still holding the teacup.
