With her statement he found that he see where that might be the view point of those around him in the Heart Court.
Eying her for a moment he considered something silently to himself. Suddenly, hoping to catch her unaware, he leaned forward till they landed on the couch laying down. Propping himself up on his elbows he stared down at her, a grin spreading across his face.
"Hi" He greeted before leaning forward to kiss her quickly.
There was something else that had been bothering him of late and he was not sure how to bring up the topic. Now however seemed like an opportune time.
"What is this going to do us?" He asked, winding some of her hair gently around her finger. Ever since they had talked to Bernard over the matter of Se being in the role of The Queen her decision had him wondering a few things.

Dre giggled when he tipped them over to lay full out on the couch. She slipped her arms around his waist contentedly and leaned up to kiss him once again. She was relieved that he did something so normal. He still loved her, despite her potentially hurtful words.
She tilted her head curiously at his last question. "What would it do to us?" she asked, obviously confused by this question. To her it was obvious that they loved each other, she would not cheat on him and he certainly wouldn't cheat on her, and therefore everything would be just hunky dory. She wiggled slightly beneath him before leaning back her head again to lay against the armrest. It was a relief to not have to hold her neck up.
Drostan rolled his eyes as they were obviously getting all cozy on the couch yet again. Iggy's next question, however, surprised the Ace.

He shifted his position once again growing more comfortable with where he was. It was good to relax with his wife every now and then, especially with the tension that had been surrounding his days of late. While he was glad to hear that she did not seem to have any hesitations about them. However, that did not stop the problem that could come along.
His eyes grew serious as he brought up the issue that he had originally meant. "If in the future Se passes the line of what will work for this Court, we both know the plan is for me to take Se away from here. Keeping him away from the Court will mean that I will not be around very often. If you become the next The Queen that will leave you here with obligations. . . ."
He paused for a moment giving her a quick kiss before coming to his point, "Will you be alright with that?"

Dre blinked as suddenly Ignatius' topic became clear. "Oh." Hrms. That was. . . something that she had accepted in passing, but hadn't really thought about before. Not truly. Her tail swished, that it was pinned beneath her so all it really did was twitch a little bit as she tried to gather her thoughts.
"I will be okay." She gave a small shrug and a sad smile curved her beak as she slipped her arms up around his neck. "I won't like it, but I will be okay." She tilted her head at him. "And I'll always be here and just wait for you to return to sex me up!" She tilted her head so she could look flirtatiously up at him through her lashes.
Drostan's ears went back curiously. Ignatius was planning on leaving his mistress? He felt anger rising in his breast, chilling the room. He tried to control it, but it was hard.

Giving a small shiver he gave a passing thought in wondering why it had suddenly gotten so much colder in their room. Snuggling closer to her and resting his head on her shoulder, still being careful not to squish her too much.
At her comment he gave a low chuckle, nuzzling her neck gently. "You know I am always up for that." He replied back.
It was both a relief and a disappointment to hear that she would be okay without him around. If this was something she really wanted to do then he would support her and it was a relief to know that she would be able to take care of herself. It was also good to hear that she would wait for him.
However, some part of him was disappointed to hear just that. He would never do well with a clingy female but to know that she would not need him around.

The woman's beak gaped in a smile and she made a soft, shrill sound that sounded a bit like a hunting cry. She, at least-- or as usual-- was oblivious to the chill in the air, though her feathers fluffed out a bit and she happily snuggled closer to the man and preened gently along his neck and shoulder. It was a loving, affectionate gesture and, by this point, Ignatius was probably aware.
"And you, sir?" she asked playfully, drawing her fingers down his back in a semi-massage. "Shall you miss me? Pine for my body? Long for my witty repartee? The mischievous flash of her eyes suggested he should be careful with his answer.
Drostan tried to keep himself from growling: at Ignatius for planning on leaving his mistress, though the Ace didn't even necessarily like the man, and at Dre for being willing to put up with such a thing.

He gave a low chuckle at her comment, giving her a rough, quick hug before loosening his grip some. He liked having her in his arms, with her he found something that he had never really thought to have hoped for before. Before his honor bound duty to Se had driven all his decisions, now however he was suddenly discovering he had conflicting desires on his choices.
"Would you want me to miss you? Pine for your body and long for your witty repartee?" He asked instead of replying with an answer. He was not sure but he thought he might have caught the warning look in her eyes and was going to try his hardest not to answer wrong. His wife had amazingly sharp elbows and surprisingly good aim.
Giving a low chuckle he leaned in and nipped at her neck playfully.
"Of course I would miss you" He paused for a moment, debating if he should admit the full truth, that he would miss her every minute of it.

Dre narrowed her eyes as he tried to duck her question; it seemed to be his immediate reaction, actually. It amused her, though, knowing that that was one of the best ways to deal with her uncle, at least. When in doubt, repeat back what the man had just said and chances were high he'd get confused and forget wot he was doing or saying, especially if he was upset over something. Still, she certainly wasn't crazy like the Queen of Hearts and she would quite tartly teach him to not treat her the same way.
Still, he was able to appease her slightly by pointing out that he would, indeed miss her. She wiggled slightly away when he nipped at her neck, and she laughed softly before turning to look back up at him. It didn't actually occur to her just how hard their separation might be.
Drostan, for his part, was still not pleased. Missing her wasn't enough. Why would the man ever agree to leave her? The Ace certainly wouldn't leave his mistress.

Glad that he had not managed to accidentally start anything that would get him into trouble, he continued his pause as he debated the worth of saying something aloud. So far he had discovered, something that still took some adjustment and confused him at times, was that he could talk about almost anything with Dre. Mostly that he had something akin to a 'normal' conversation was still an oddity.
"Dre . . . I have been pondering something." He ran his claws gently up and down her forearm. "Do you think that there could be any way that we would not have to be away?" So far he had not really been able to come up with a plan, at least one that would not instantly fail, to allow such to happen. Dre, however, seemed to be a surprisingly good mastermind behind such things.
It was one of the things that he was wondering if he was wasting his time on or if it was worth consideration.

Dre twisted slightly to glance towards her spouse in surprise. Actually. . . obviously that would be infinitely preferable to being separated, even for a short time. She hrmed under her breath and leaned back into the man to think for a long moment. Her ears flicked as she went over their situation as well as the Court itself.
"Well, part of the problem is that we'll need a strong figure in the Court. I don't know, no one is stepping up with Grandfather gone." She shrugged to herself. "So, that keeps me here at the Court." She was quiet for a long moment as something else occurred to her. When she spoke again, her voice was soft. "Unless someone were to challenge Uncle Se. . . or. . . assassinate him." She certainly didn't want to challenge the man, and she couldn't abide assassinating him, even if, for some strange reason, she thought Ignatius would agree with the idea.
Drostan's ears shifted forward in surprise at the conversation shift, and even more so since the mouse hybrid was the one to broach the topic. What was he driving at?
