Trying a Picnic Again (D4 MA)

[Kaliya Redding]

With a hint of wistfulness, "duty calls, as everr it must. I... I have enjoyed myself, thank you forr that."

[Davelyn Sand]

"You arre quite welcome. And I'm always glad to sharre my time with you Kaliya." Davelyn separates and rises to his feet, offering both hands to help her to hers. And once she is up, he smiles mischievously at her for a moment before scooping her up in his arms like he had previously. But rather than walking her to carnal pleasure, he carries her to Perlera's side.

I thank you again, forr today. And I look forrward to ourr next meeting. It will undoubtedly be the light of my day." He smiles at the sand steed next, "Take carre of herr Perrlerra."

His mind was tingling with positive feelings about the entire meeting. It felt as though she was starting to realize that she might be able to trust, to accept that she might find happiness. Even if only a little. The fact that it had not become another physical affair actually made him even happier really. Last time it hadn't she was definitely not nearly as pleased with him when she left.

Finally, everything packed up he called Qitam over. "Did you see that," he said, resting his forehead against the horses own. The stallion didn't know what he had said, but could sense the joy in Davelyn and so made a happy nickering noise. "I think... I could be truly happy... if..."
