The next morning Joseph immediately started shaking his finger at Maelyn followed by him winking at her. When she then sat down at the table he made a tisking sound and told her, "You naughty naughty girl! You didn't get home till late last night! Were you a bad girl and spending adult time in Abjul's bed last night?!"
Having walked up behind him without noticing Abjul startled him when he answered for her saying in a haughty sounding voice, "No. I sent her home because when we got to my rooms my maids hadn't cleaned it to my standards and so I had to beat them for their failures and that always leaves me in a sour mood that spoils any later attempts at lovemaking for at least an hour or two afterwards."
