"Rest well, Sister. And may courage and strength be at your side." Lene opened her own small patch and melted down into it as the earth packed back over top of her.

"Yeah," Serenata lowered herself into her own plot. "I'm going to need it..." She sealed herself in and sent her mind away into a deep sleep.

Nicholai woke as the sun sank below the horizon and charged through the earth that cradled him. His first priority was to hunt. Going to meet with his lifemate without already eating was a terrible idea. He was already distracted around her enough without the thought of tasting her going through his mind.

Serenata slipped out of the earth as soon as the sun set and sped off to seek a bit of nourishment for herself, she wanted to be at full strength for her meeting.

After taking sustenance, Nicholai made his way to the designated spot, where he paced back and forth waiting. Would she come? Oh he hoped so. If she did not, then it would mean that she did not care to make things work, and he needed things to work.

The young demoness approached the scene cautiously, struggling every step to continue going forward.

He felt her arrive and turned to face her, bowing low to the ground in an old fashioned manner. "Greetings, lifemate. It is a pleasure to see you well this rising."

"Serenata," she said boldly, hoping she at least sounded braver than she felt. "My name is Serenata."

"Serenata," He repeated. "It is a beautiful name." It fit her perfectly, making Nicholai think about how many other things about her were perfect, like the color of her eyes. He slammed the door closed tightly on that train of thought. "Would you care to sit? We have much to discuss." He gestured to a spot under a tree.

"Ok..." she said slowly and took the seat cautiously. He wasn't being as demanding tonight...that's good...but she wasn't letting her guard down yet.

Nicholai sat across from her, leaving a generous amount of space between the two. "I would first like to discuss the most evident issue of age. I feel that it will dictate much of our lives for the time being."

"There is not much that it dictates right now," she said frowning. "I'm still just a teen...there's nothing really to be done..."

"You are correct, but I want to perhaps help you to understand why this is more of an issue for me than it is for you."

"I am sure it is no secret to you that I am older than most. K have been without colors and emotions for quite some time, a nice estimate would be 600 years or greater. I have lost count of exact numbers, wishing to forget the way black and white only blend to black and white. After such a period of time without those things, I am greatly out of practice at controlling them. I am working to remedy this situation. I desperately need your light to expel the darkness. And I will hold on until you are of age. I must. For me, finding you now is the equivalent of dangling a steak in front of a hungry wolf. I promise you have nothing to fear from me, though. When I fear that I will no longer be able to control certain things, I will leave. Do you comprehend so far?"
