The transition between her Auradon life and her Underworld life was always something that took a few days. She had to get used to the sounds and smells of each place. Having her dogs around made it better when she came back to her apartment. It was just a plus that Julien was in town sooner than scheduled for the big event. It gave her something to ground her. Watching as he worked at his drawing table she tapped her pencil again her own sketch pad. “You know this is supposed to be a week of celebration, I don’t think you’re supposed to be working.” Setting her sketchbook aside she stood up. Crossing the living room to stand behind him. She wasn’t really one to talk. Muse had a launch coming up, a fashion show was being planned and they had fitting to deal with for the gala. Work was never ending at the moment. “I think you need a break,” was added, her arms snaking around his shoulders. “Or I need a break... either way...” she pressed a kiss to the side of his neck. “Don’t make me sic the children on you,” was whispered playfully. @julienfitzherbertÂ
