Elara was in her study doing some work, she and Zarkon were back to normal and were working harder than ever. Zarkon felt like she'd overwork herself and decided to check in on her. It was late and she was still occupied with work, he didn't like that. Ever since she somewhat recovered from her miscarriage, she's been trying to caught up with work and she's been losing hours of sleep. She was in the middle of working when her ears twitched when Zarkon walked in. It was so late that she had to work in her nightwear, the doors opened up to he bedroom anyway so it's fine.

"You're still here?" He asked.

"Why wouldn't I be? I've got a lot to catch up on." She said, she just looked exhausted and stressed out.

"You need to get some sleep." He said seriously.

"Zarkon don't be ridiculous, I'm fine. I have a few things left to do and I'm done." She said.

"You're not fine, look in the mirror, you're clearly overworked and exhausted. You need to just call it a night already." He said, his glare was stern enough to scream at her for him.

"Zarkon I'm not trying to fall behind again." She said.

"You're not going to fall behind. You need some sleep or you're going to give yourself a headache." He said.

"I'm not tired. I'll be perfectly fine, go get some sleep." She said, continuously denying that he was right.

"Don't make me tired you out. You know exactly what I mean." He said.

"Zarkon don't you dare, I'm not in the mood for that right now." She hissed

He shut her up when he turned off her holopad and threw her over his shoulder and walked into their bedroom so she could get some rest.

"You're going to get some sleep whether you like it or not." He said.

"Fine... " She huffed, pouting like a toddler.

"Come on lighten up. You'll thank me later." He said.

"Just put me down." She said as she sighed.

"And if I don't?" He asked.

"No nightly activities for three months." She threatened.

"Down you go..." He said, putting her down immediately.

"Thank you." She said and got in bed.

"Not even tonight?" He asked.

"I'm exhausted." She said, smirking deviously.

"2 minutes ago you were denying that you were exhausted and all of a sudden you're no longer denying it." Zarkon said, a scowl creeping onto his face.

"Yep." She said, getting comfortable for the night.

"The audacity of this purple she-devil..."
