"Not at this time," he said, sensing his mate's wish to call his family and friends. "Later we will walk in the garden ere we retire. In the meantime, look for someone to take over the housework for you." That said, he headed back upstairs.

Delian was left alone again with thoughts of a garden and finding someone to replace his position. How was he going to find a replacement. He lingered in the chair for a a minute or so before heading to his bedroom. That's where he jumped in the bed after taking his communicator. His first call was to one of his dear friends he traveled with on the trade ship. It hadn't even been a few days and here he was.
Soon he had his communicator activated and was talking to his friend Lucas. He had gotten closer to him than anyone on the ship who were just as good a friend but he was a bit closer. Actually, he recalled a time when he asked him out. Was it really a good idea to call him? Too late he saw his face pop up on the projected vid screen.
"Dalian." The long time friend of the Fae spoke, he was a handsome Dragonis who surprisingly got along well even with what he was.
"Lucis." He smiled brightly. "You won't believe what happened." He was excited, he really wanted to share this with a close friend. "I actually found my mate, a Zercan here who I've just met not too long ago." He wasn't going to lie. He decided not to mention what he did for a living. "He's really nice so far." He didn't really feel he got to know him though but so far so good.
There was a moment of silence on the other end before Lucas spoke. "Ah...that's good."
"Is everything alright?" Dalian noticed he didn't sound happy.
"Would you mind if I come to pay you a visit there?" Lucas asked out of the blue.
"Huh?" Dalian was surprised at the question. "Oh...if you want to sure, I'll give you the address." A few minutes later the conversation had ended and he called his family next. He shared the wonderful news with a bit of small talk then he was alone on the bed and wondering what his mate was doing. Was he suppose to meet him in the garden now?

Chase stood at the garden door and informed his AI to retrieve his mate.

Dalian's thoughts were answered when the A.I told him about his mate. He was already at the garden. In a matter of minutes he was hurrying down there himself walking out somewhat hesitantly. "Chase..." He called out to his mate looking for him until he finally saw him. "Chase...you wanted to meet out here?" He wasn't quite sure what he wanted.

Chase extended his hand, waiting for his mate to take it before beginning a stroll through the gardens.

Dalian happily excepted his mates hand walking with him as soon as he moved on. "Did you want to talk still?" Or perhaps he just wanted to walk in silence. He was so fond of flowers and gardens he hadn't realized there was one here. He would definitely have to pay this place a visit when he was alone. He wondered what kind flowers were out here?

"I wish to talk about anything that comes to your mind. As to the flowers here, they are vast and the garden even holds it's own waterfall further on. My mother was a but of a flora enthusiast," he said simply.

"Its beautiful." Delian looked around in awe before smiling up at his mate. His mind quickly searched for things to talk about. "So...what do you usually do at home...when you were by yourself." He understood he ordered people from afar for his work but was that all he did. He also understood he had no personal life but he really couldn't have sat there doing nothing but work all day, right?

"I work," he shrugged. "There is a lot more to my job than ordering people around, you know. I have documents to decode and code, battle coordinates and tactics to go over and correct if need be. Your mate is a very important man. When my face is finally healed -assuming the medi box will eventually get a skin match for me - and I can blend into crowds again you and I will be travelling a bit." He thought a moment after he said that. "Not for anything dangerous and certainly not once you get with child. But after, I need to meet up with select people off of Zerca."

He was that important? Dalian wasn't sure what to say. His mates life sounded really complicated and busy. He wasn't surprised that he didn't have anything else other than his work. Did he even have time to spare for him? "I see..." He wondered how bad his mates face was when he mentioned the medi box. It reminded him that he had that mask on because he wasn't looking directly at him. "Traveling?" That sounded nice, but he didn't think he'd be doing that when he was with child. Fortunately it seemed his mate was thinking the same thing. "Well, I love to travel." So it wasn't a problem.
"Friends of yours I assume?" Who could he have to meet that wasn't dangerous but was someone in particular? He was curious but he didn't want to be nosy.

"Some. Most and more like... employees," he stopped and turned to face the little fae. "I do have time for you, Dalian, and will make all the time you need. You are my first priority now."

So it was employees he referred to. Dalian didn't expect anything in particular, just that his mate owuld be busy with these mentioned people. He was surprised when his mate stopped them. For a moment he was just looking up at the large Zercan puzzled, then his words hit home. That's right, they were mates, he had an idea of how he felt and just then he felt as if he'd be very lonely.
"Ah..." Looking his mate in the eyes he uttered the sound before looking away quickly. The fae wasn't sure what to say or rather how to express himself. He never really knew how to respond around someone you cared for with no proper explanation to. To be drawn so deeply to someone with your entire being and then be at a loss for words.
"I'm happy to hear you say that." He spoke with a faint smile looking up at Chase. There wasn't a need to say he had been worried, he knew already. "Let's...keep going." His hand briefly tightened around his mates gently. "Thank you." He nearly whispered the word, not sure what else to say but he wanted to talk more.
"That man I saw when I first came here, he's a close friend of yours?" It was random but he just pondered on it now. Surely he had seen his mates face so they had to be close.

Chase allowed his mate to have his way and continued walking. They needed to speak of this fear of loneliness the boy had when considering their life together but it could wait. "That is my long time friend and fellow handler. His background i similar to mine though his personality is completely different. I must admit," he said, glancing down at his mate as they walked on. "That I am wary of you two formally meeting. Van is very fair in the face and charismatic besides. You will never stray from me, Dalian, you do understand that?" why he asked, he did not know. After all, on Zerca infidelity was punished harshly.

"Long time friend..." That was good. Dalian was happy to hear Chase had someone who was so close to him. It made sense to make friends with someone who had a similar occupation. He wondered how different he was though. He couldn't help pausing when his mate mentioned him being wary. "Why would you be-" He began to ask but that last statement or question it seemed said it all too well. "I wouldn't stray from your side Chase." Even if he knew him for a little over a day.
"Your friend was nice but I don't imagine ever leaving you for anyone else...I would never since we are mates." It was like some unsaid declaration. Besides he barely knew this friend of his either. He might look to gain friendship if he felt ignored in anyway but he would never look for an intimate relation.
"SoI...I do understand." He wasn't sure what to make of the assumption on it either or was that a threat of some kind. No...he was over-thinking it like he always did. "If you knew me better you wouldn't have to ask such a thing." Now he wondered how long it would take to get to know him.

"I'm trying," Chase growled, running a hand through his dark hair. "I fear I am unsure of what to say. You make me... nervous."
