“So you got married,” Yuuko mused, playing with the glass of wine in her hand. “How did that ever happen?”

“Well, it's a very long story,” he replied, “but if you're interested...”

“Oh, I've heard the story,” she interrupted him. “I was simply wondering how could such a sensible person as your Sophie ever consider marrying you, Howell.”

He must have been truly in love, the witch thought, because he didn't even scowl at that.

“Just so you know, Yuuko, I make a very good husband.”

“Just like you make a very good anything else, I suppose,” she said, rolling her eyes at him. “Wizards and their egos...”

“Now you do sound like Sophie,” he muttered.

“Ah, but I couldn't tell, could I? You haven't introduced us yet,” Yuuko said, with a suspicious look.

“Oh, well, she's always very busy,” he said. “And she doesn't really like travelling...”

“You're such a bad liar,” she told him, smirking. “I can only think of one reason why you haven't brought her along in your visits yet, and it's tht you're just too scared to have both of us in the same room.”

Howl smoothly (but still obviously) changed the subject.

See, Sophie meeting Clow, is Sophie the one that ends up with a headache. So much ego, it's too much.

*giggles* Lovely ficlet!

That's very sweet and funny. It's great to see a crossover of those two series.

He must have been truly in love, the witch thought, because he didn't even scowl at that.

Well, really he knows it's the truth. ^^

ZOMG! I was thinking of this! Of Howl meeting Yuuko and lo and behold here it is and it is lovely. Of course Yuuko would rag on Howl and of course Howl will be afraid of Yuuko and Sophie becoming friends!
