"But of course if Temeraire runs off sometimes at inconvenient moments Laurence might feel hurt, too, so Temeraire must weigh his options carefully... ;)" Even if it HURTS. Temeraire is quite indignant about this new development, that if he stays until Laurence thinks of something else, it causes PAIN and it is unpleasant he DISAPPROVES. (Granby turns beet red, Jane nearly makes herself sick laughing before explaining that it's quite common in humans, who restrain themselves to be polite as well)

"OMG Jane giving Temeraire seduction advice = WIN. YOU WIN FOREVER. <3" She is instantly forgiven, and all jealousy is put aside because it's perfect and something Tem hadn't actually understood before. Plus, she's around quite a bit, and then after she has the child she and Laurence have a few long talks about what to do next. I think Jane ends up living with Margaret for a month or two, as there's a war on and the strong chance the covert will be attacked and it isn't any place for a baby. Jane will get back to fighting when Margaret has a suitable wet-nurse and Lady Margaret's supervision

"I'm sure that if he and Temeraire ever really do talk about it Laurence WILL do a firebreathing version of a blush. Possibly with actual steam." Oh yes, he blushes and it's the most cute thing about him, especially since his muzzle dips down without any thought at all.

There's no use separating them. Temeraire would roar and Laurence would be so quiet and dutiful and not at his best that they lose any advantage at all.
