So I have heard. [He smirked as soon as she turned to the window, wrapping his arms around her waist and letting her rest against him. His eyes were also fixed in the landscape.] What's your next plan, then?

Me? Don't you want to take a turn at deciding?

[ Without question Lily had enough places that intrigued her throughout the world to keep them traveling for a good long time, but she wanted this to be his trip as well. ]

Though if you're referring to our immediate future my next plan is to drag you off to bed with a nice cup of tea.

I won't argue against a good cup of tea, but I was thinking about medium-term plans. [Severus was more of a spoiling Lily-person than someone who planned for himself, but he might have some ideas, given the opportunity.]

My ideas of entertainment involve less moving around than yours.

[ Running her hands over his arms while they stood there she smiled at the view, listening while he spoke. ]

Perhaps next we'll go somewhere with a wonderful library. You won't need to move and I'll have lots to read.

[He had a smooth, velvet voice. The monotonous tone only making it more calming to hear.]

It sounds delightful, to be honest. I could always read something for you.

Are you set on spoiling me for the rest of our lives together Sev?

[ The offer made her grin, blushing slightly. He certainly had the voice for it. ]

I thought I had made my goal clear, dearest.

[He knew where his strong points were, and didn't shy from exploiting them.]

Then surely you'll have to learn to stop trying to protest when I do the same to you.

[ Lily turned back around to look at him before she tilted her head back towards their rooms. ]

Shall we go not move for a while my love?

Depends on what you consider spoiling.

[ That resulted in another of his rare smiles, different from the teasing smirks.] I'm interested in that proposal.

Wait and see darling. [ Flashing a smile at him Lily leaned up and kissed his cheek before stepping back to re-enter their rooms. ]

As long as you don't mind me reading on you.

[ She had taken to draping across him often, and he certainly never seemed to mind - but that didn't mean she wouldn't tease him a little. ]

I'm not against the idea. [He may have looked all serious and harsh, but it was also his honeymoon and he was enjoying it in his own way. Having Lily that close was part of it... Severus was still taking a bit of advantage of how pleased her partner has been with the lovely necklace he gave her.]

I had a feeling you would say that.

[ Lily was quick to conjure a pot of tea and pour them both a cup. ]

So - there's meant to be a library worth seeing in Japan, and one in Germany. Which do you fancy my love?

That's not a very detailed plan. [He was a big nerd who enjoyed having all the details.] Talk to me about the pros and cons of both of them so I can make an educated decision.

[ Chuckling at the request for details she reminded herself that he didn't share her penchant for improvisation.

Settling onto a sofa with her cup of tea she waited for him to join her while considering. ]

Japan's library is supposed to house the definitive collection of books about Ghouls, they've got a lot of interesting ones over there and Ghoul Studies is quite popular. The library in Germany however, houses a terrific collection of Potions books.

Oh, that's an easy one. We are going to Germany. 'Terrific' as an adjective sounds truly appealing. [He settled at her side, reaching for his own cup of tea. Lily always knew how exactly he liked it.]

Germany and then Japan it is - I've always found Ghoul Studies to be quite cool.

[ Lily waited for Sev to get settled beside her before leaning into him and getting comfortable. ]

You have such weird tastes. [Him included, of course.] Anything else you want to do on these vacations? I'm surprised we haven't been involved in anything dangerous yet.

Dangerous? Would I do that to you? [ She grinned. She absolutely would. ]

Oh, don't play shy with me, dearest. [He knew very well.]

Dragging you all the way to the arctic to see the northern lights wasn't risky enough? I shall have to think of a new adventure.

Don't underestimate me, Lily. It was just a journey, a small vacation. Risk usually involves that what is not allowed.

[ Shifting she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, looking utterly bemused. ]

What if I've put my life of danger aside to be Mrs. Snape?

I'd be surprised, but not against it. The opposite. [She knew how overprotective he could be, most of their fights had been about that.]

Sev– [ Lily began before rolling her eyes and shaking her head at him, trying to suppress a smile. ]

An occasional risky thing surely won't be the death of you? I promise we won't climb Everest.

It's not the harm upon myself that worries me, you know that. [He arched an eyebrow at her expression, sighing.] And for some reason, the Everest sounds just tiresome, yet not your most risky idea.
