[And he just goes with it, as malleable and fluid as molding clay in her hands. With some people, being turned into anywhere remotely hidden from the public eye was a bit of concern, but April? Nah. Not that sort of concern, anyway. He was so happy he'd stolen some new clothes now, no matter how much they didn't match.]
All right, all right. [His hands go up beside his head, like he's been caught, he's not gonna resist arrest. Officer Ludgate cracked the case.] I'll stop telling you how fantastic you are, and how much I love you, and how I think you're the most beautiful person I've ever met. If that's what you want. [One finger goes up in a point.] Draw the line at faking it during sex, that's my limit. I'd say I'd try but...
[He makes a pfft sort of face.]
...couldn't do it.
[The murder addiction gets a free pass. This time.]
[She said as she grabbed for- his missing tie. Hm. Maybe she was getting to used to being married to a police man and having a lawyer at work to boss around. The second grab gets his sleeve, though, and they're back on their way.]
Praise me all the time. I'm amazing. But don't thank me.
[The sleeve will do just fine. Really, April could grab his ear and he'd happily follow after, resume their former position. Even with the dreaded d-word on her tongue. At least in this tone there's no real fear of her going through with it.]
How can I praise you all the time if we're divorced? Unless you expect me to go through the stressful process of divorce but keep everything the same.
[Judging by his tone, that idea doesn't seem too horrible. Waking up next to April is anything but, always has been, before and after it was official.]
[He wiggles their fingers again, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye as though he's finally caught onto her game. Long enough for her to spot the mild theatrics. Nodding, he murmurs:]
[His lips purse as he nods a few times in resolution. Acceptance of fate instead of putting up fuss, that's her loser husband down to the marrow. No complaints, only agreement. He deserves this fate, but perhaps he gets a question. Not questioning her judgment, just a question in general.]
[ They still haven't really talked about Baltimore involvement. There is plenty of time for him to ruin everything. With that or a million other things.
Or time to distract her so her forgets it all and lives her normal, fur covered life. ]

You're de-furring the whole house, too. After waffles.
