The thought of Chris and Jaxon's kids meeting Elena's was a funny one. "Your kids and ours, all of them meeting would be amusing, to say the least. I definitely can see yours being appalled at how mine and Jaxon's behave." They were more lenient with their kids, mostly because most of the brood was Durmstrang they figured. Pheobe was the rare exception to that.
It was true, it kept him amused when all of a sudden there was something sharp and metal flying through the air at the table, or even above someone's head. And usually when a very boring, small ministry official was in the meeting. Too many countries had allowed themselves to be taken over by the confederation, yet their officials still insisted on being present for meetings that didn't have a major effect on them. So, they were usually Elena's targets. "I'll say this. If that idiot from Norway falls asleep again during a meeting, feel free to use him for target practice. I don't know how much more I can take, his snoring in meetings." The man drove them all nuts. Every single person in that room.
"You picked me long ago my dear. You're the one who laid claim. So whenever you get sick of me, just toss me aside. I'm used to it." It was a joke, of course, Elena and he had been around one another for far too long and they were both too old at this point to start over with other people that they didn't know.
"Thankfully they seem to be sleeping through the night, as far as I've heard. Unless Pollux has put a silencing charm on our bedroom door." Their bedroom... He liked the sound of that, probably too much.

Elena did wonder of how a meeting with their descendants was going to happen. She was certain they’d think of their behaviours as too straightforward and not as disciplined as they should be. She knew how her children could be and tried to teach them that they could enjoy their lives too and have a bit of fun. Even if they were still back in Russia, she believed that they’d at least try to follow her instructions on how fun life could be. “They have trouble enjoying themselves, I have to admit.” She said referring to her kids. “But I’m hoping they found ways of happiness too, they seem like they did, with the families they have. I’ll have to show you pictures one day.” She mused at the thought of her cherished memories.
She let out a loud vibrant laugh as he reminded her of the Norway official. “Oh you can count on me, you know what keeps me happy, darling.” She mused, still laughing at the idea of giving the chills of that person who fell asleep on meetings. He wasn’t the only one who seemed to be snoozing during those so she could take a mental note of her future targets. “Might get things interesting.” She said with a smirk. “Especially when they realize the knives go past them very close to their face and think I could have hit them.” She added as she rubbed her chin a little, liking the perspective of tormenting the poor sleeping people.
“Ah, we’d have to check that when we’re home.” She said, wondering if his family was kind enough to do that to them! “They either did that so we don’t hear their kids or because they don’t want to know what we do behind shut doors.” She added chuckling. The idea that your grandparents could still do stuff was a chill to some people and hey, what was wrong with that?! They were humans too!

Christopher chuckled softly, knowing full well Elena meant every word of her threat to use the delegations as targets for her knives. "Trust me, my love, you can use them whenever you feel the need. I know that these people are getting out of hand with how lazy they're becoming. It's shocking how many of their countries feed into Durmstrang, it truly is. And then the headmaster wonders why the children sent to him from these areas are awful students!" He got regular complaints about some regions of students, and how awful they were with their behaviors towards their studies. "Next visit we pay to the school, maybe we need to scare some of the students into paying better attention... I'm tired of hearing they're causing explosions because of their carelessness. I can see where it comes from now that I think about it."
The idea that his son had put a silencing charm on his door because he didn't want to hear him and Elena cuddling was laughable. "That's a funny idea for sure. We'll find out if we hear the twins wake up tonight. Or if we hear Pollux snoring. Sometimes I wonder how Colette and Natasha can stand sleeping next to my sons. They snore like foghorns." He didn't snore that badly, every now and then he snored, but his sons snored regularly, and very loudly.

Elena wondered if Chris really gave her a green light to go and torment the other delegations with her knives. Didn’t he remember the fun she could have and the stunts she could pull at them when she was bored? She was the worst when she was bored, they both knew it and it was better to keep this old lady occupied if you didn’t want her to give the chills to a couple of men who pretended they were part of the high-end and had a big head. “You’re giving me the green light? Are you sure you know what you’re getting them into? You know how I can threaten them with my knives.” She said, only wanting to make sure he was truly fine with her having a little bit of a blast with it. Oh, she certainly would and wouldn’t hold back. Perhaps it would get them back to work for all she knew! “I’m afraid I might be too much for kids though, I don’t think my ways are going to be handy there.” Kids were kids, however, she couldn’t just throw knives at them, she still had some sense in her, just a little.
She laughed a bit and looked at him quite amused when he commented on his son’s snoring. “Well, they had to inherit of some of your genes.” She added, implying that he too could snore quite a bit. They had a fun family and one that definitely kept her entertained and she wanted to maintain that. “That’s true, we will find out soon enough about it.” She conceded.

Christopher gave Elena a stern look. "My love, you know how to behave when the time is needed for it. You also know how to make others sit up straight when the time comes for it too. I trust your judgment." The kids were another matter entirely. "The kids on the other hand have been around you too much to be truly afraid of you. They know you love them, so you won't kill them outright unless they really piss you off. And none is dumb enough to piss you off that far."
Elena made him laugh when she commented on the fact he snored, as did his eldest. "Charlie's worse, trust me. Much worse. I'm grateful he doesn't live at the manor anymore, I don't know if the roof could take all the snoring with both boys and me there." He knew he snored, he sometimes woke himself up from a dead sleep snoring. It got worse when he was exhausted. But she put up with his worst trait like a champ anyways. "You don't seem to be too bothered by my snoring anyways pet. You haven't complained yet."

Ah, yes, Elena always loved remembering who the authority was. It was fun watching them getting their nerves up whenever she decided to pull out her knives. They were as deadly as a wand had she to say. When you knew how to use them! She had to give him right when it came to children. She loved them too much, she couldn’t bring herself to be as threatening as she wanted to be even if sometimes they’d need it. She wondered if there was anything she could do that would convince them otherwise. “That’s probably the only downside of being a grandmother.” She said teasingly to Chris. She didn’t mind it, but she hoped that sometimes when they were going overboard, they’d know what the limits were. It was just harder than with someone who did not know her.
“If he is worse then I am glad I do not live around him too much.” She said teasingly. “I only am when I have trouble sleeping, and you will know soon enough.” A light slap or poke in the elbow usually did the trick but he did not need to know hence he never really seemed bothered when she did that. It was better than putting a pillow on his face! She had been trained to be able to do much more and could be a dangerous person. Though, she’d never do those sorts of things to Chris, yet. A smirk played on her lips at the thought

"What? That you can't kill the kids outright? Thats the downside?! There is a good thing about Pollux having the kids though. We get to spoil them rotten and hand them back over." Christopher had to laugh at Elena's 'downside' of being a parent and a grandparent. The woman was bloodthirsty as all Hell sometimes.
He knew when she had trouble sleeping. He usually woke because she was awake. That was one thing that took a bit of getting used to when they finally agreed it was time to move in together. Sleeping in the same bed as his woman again. It'd been a long time since his first wife, and his now ex had slept in the same bed with him until Pheobe was born, then had taken off on her dalliances. "I always know when you're having trouble sleeping. I wake up every time, or damned close to every time."

Elena didn’t hide the fact that she did enjoy tormenting others from time to time. Being Chris’ bodyguard didn’t prove to be as entertaining as some of her past jobs could be. She did enjoy having a certain thrill. However, she always liked to have a good laugh from seeing the wizards’ faces when she brought up her favorite weapons! Being a grandmother, however, didn’t only have downsides. She liked to spoil the kids and give them back to their parents once this was over. It was fun watching them go nuts if they decided to get the said kids high on sugar. They had done their parenting part, they were just being the coolest grandparents now. “That is true, it is nice having that part of the deal. Being a parent can be a handful at times!” she said, remembering her children. Luckily, they all had respectable lives and families.
“Are you implying that I’m being noisy when I can’t sleep?” She asked him teasingly. She did hope she didn’t wake him up for too long when that happened and certainly, he would have warned her if it was the case. Besides, she never had been that much of a sleeper, which wasn’t good for Chris probably. “I will try to behave next time we sleep, darling.” She added, smirking slightly as she said that.
