Hat Full of Stars (Darius/Björn Mature)

[bjorn]

Bjorn grabbed one one everything, and put it on the plate. ""I made the bisckets just this morning. I also did the eggs and squeezed to orange juice." Bjorn said with a smile. After he had gotten everything on Darius's plate, he began to grab his own food. He didn't want to eat much, he had alot of work to do today. Also, Darius might want some more. He was trying to save the most he could for him. Bjorn still couldn't help adjusting the the fact that he was soo to be married. It was most glorious!!!

Bjork finally made her plate and began to eat. "We've much work to do before the wedding," she said around bites, "I'm expecting things to be ready by early next week." Bjorn nodded his head in agreement. He grabbed Darius' hand and smiled. "We're getting married! I'm so happy!" Bjorn smiled....then her smile faded. She glanced at Bjorns hand.....and shrieked as if she'd seen a ghost. She frightend Bjorn so, that he dropped his glass of orange juice.

"Bjorn and Darius....you both have no engagement rings!" She breathed out, taking a large swing of her sweet orange juice. Bjorn went to cleaning up the glass and liquid that had collected on the floor. Bjorn took a few deep breaths before a calming thought came to her. She smiled birghtly and began to speak. "Bjorn, I have a large load of washing. The dryer is on the fritz will you take it out to the line?"

Bjorn nodded his head yes, and went to the washer to collect the washing. When he was out of the room, Bjork pulled Darius into the living room and sat him on the sofa. "I'll be back directly." As she was walking out, she heard the back door close, meaning Bjorn had gone to the clothes line. Bjorn went to her room and rummaged in her chest of memories. She found the small boxes she was looking for and went back downstairs.

"Darius, I want you to have this." she said, handing him a little box. "That was the engagement ring Bjorn's father gave me when he asked me to marry him." Bjorn said with a smile, remmembering the day she was asked to be married. "I'm sorry I don't have anything more fancy. But I know Bjorn will be overwhelmed."

Darius heard Bjorn speak as he saw him fill the plate with one of everything. He heard him speak but he wasn't quite sure he was familiar with everything mentioned. Well, he would look it up later. He had a relatively good idea what was what so he kept that in mind. He just really looking forwards to trying all the food here. He wasn't going to jump on eating anything until he was sure it was alright to though. He noted as Bjorn came to fill his own plate with food. He wondered how much he was going to eat. It didn't seem to be as much as he was.

It seemed after Bjorn had his food Bjork had her plate filled next. It was unexpected to hear about the wedding again. Or should he have expected it. Although he agreed to the wedding for the sake of being able to be with Bjorn he didn't know any more on it then the moment he first heard about it. And he really knew next to nothing about it other then that human couples who really cared for each other went through it. That was it. He had no idea what was going to happened and doubted there was anything he could do to help. Unless someone told him he could do this or that all he could do was just wait. He was glad that this really did seem to be something Bjorn wanted. Something he noted yet again as he felt the other male grab his hand.

Th human really did look very happy. He would hope he would still have that smile on his features even after they were wed. He wondered why it was something that seemed so exciting. It was a brief thought on his mind due to the sudden loud shriek that caused him to wince with his rather sensitive hearing. He immediately wondered what was wrong as he held a concerned look as he looked at Bjorn's mother. She looked alright yet she had shrieked causing Bjorn to drop the glass of juice he had and hurt his ears as well. It had him wondering if there was something that happened that he missed. He was quick to look about before catching what was said by the women.

What was this about engagement rings? He thought he heard about rings with weddings but he never studied on such details. The whole matter seemed irrelevant at the time so why bother. Now he had some regret towards not doing so but felt that if it was important he would be told about it. Was that really the only problem? Was it was problem? He supposed it was with the way Bjork had acted. It had him wondering what could be done about it. He was thinking on it when he suddenly heard Bjork mention something about washing clothes. He didn't think to day anything on it as he just watched what went on with Bjork speaking and then Bjorn leaving.

Darius was surprised to suddenly be pulled into the living room where he was seated on the sofa. He was confused as to what was going on. He would have asked but the Bjork was gone before he could and he was left to wait. It didn't seem that long before she was back and speaking to him. He noted right away that she had some little box in hand. He found himself looking at it curiously as he was handed it. He was silent as he heard her go on to tell him what it was. He was amazed he was given this to give to Bjorn. That was what he assumed he was to do with it. But he wasn't sure what to do from here. Due to his lack of knowledge on Earth and this marriage thing. It made him feel a bit...lacking where he should be aware of a bit more here. What he did understand though was how important this engagement ring was and he knew he would cherish it. And he could just imagine that Bjorn would more so with it having been from his father.

"There's no need to apologize." He knew next to nothing about this marriage thing and all the details of it but if this was so important then why apologize. He would be grateful for all that came his way and he was. "I thank you for trusting me with this." That is he didn't expect to be given anything for this. Though it was for him to give to Bjorn. He imagined he would be really happy with this and looked forward to the look on his face when he got this. He was suppose to give it to him, right? How was he to do it though if he was? He felt rather foolish for not knowing though it wasn't important for him to have known from the start with the fact nothing of the sort was done on Zerca and he was lucky to know what he did now.

[bjorn]

Bjork grabbed his hand, "Thank you! Very much!" she said with a big smile. Bjork really was greatfull. Now she had to go give the other box to Bjorn. First, she felt she must explain everything to Darius. "I realise you must be in the dark about all of this. I'll do my best to explain it the best I can. A wedding is what two humans do to signify that they're making a promise to be together for life. It's an honored, sacred ritual, done for thounsands and thousands of years. The rings I gave you tell other people that you are married. Lots of people don't respect the vows, but some very good people still do." She said, hoping that was enough to ease his concentration.

"I hope I explained it well enough." Bjork said walking to the dack door. "If you have any questions, please ask. I'll be back soon, I need to see Bjorn. It'll be a privalige to have you in our family." she said with a smile, walking out the back door and closing it behind her. She made her way down the path to where Bjorn was hanging the clothes. As she approched, he was hanging his last article.

"Hello Bjornie." His mother said brightly. "Hello mother, are you well?" he asked, still nervous from her episode at breakfast. "Oh, quite right! I'm sorry about that." Bjorn nodded his head smiling. "Listen, I want to give you somthing." Bjork said, slipping the box into her sons hand. "Mother, what's this?" Bjorn asked, somewhat puzzled. "It was the ring I bought your father for our engagement. He asked me to marry him with such a pretty ring, that I couldn't not get him one. I saved for weeks, and bought his this one." Bjork said and opened up the box revealing a larger silver ring.

"I know it's not much....but your father always wanted you to have have it." Bjork said softly. Bjorn began to cry, tears slowly running down his cheeks. He grabbed his mother in big hug. "It's the best thing in the world! A ring from my father, to give to the father of my future children!" They finally parted, Bjorn somewhat crying herself. "I'm going for a walk. You two need some time alone." She said, waving as she walked out the back gate and down the lane.

Bjorn forgott his stuff completely and ran inside. When he found Darius, he grabbed him and kissed him passionatly. "I'm so happy! I'm so in love! Could life get any better?" Bjorn asked, happy tears falling down his soft cheeks as he kept passionatly kissing Darius.

[Kago]

Darius wondered if it was obvious he was clueless or was it the fact he was from another world that Bjork had come to speak on it. Hearing her explain did help a bit did help some. But she spoke of what he basically knew already. That this was something the humans did to show how they cared for each other. It was explained as some sort of ceremony and sacred ritual. He didn't need some ritual to show he would be with Bjorn the rest of his life. Without a doubt he would remain by his side as long as fate did not steal him away or vice-versa. One after all did not live forever but that wasn't something he needed to worry about. He saw or rather hoped that both he and his mate had a very long future ahead of them.

Considering what was said he thought that he had everything in mind he needed to know. At least covering the basics. He wanted to know all the proper procedures for what he had to do and what he could expect. But that wasn't something he imagined he needed to know until it was close to the time he would be going through with this wedding. Until then he would just keep in mind what he had been told and look forward to when he could leave the planet with the other male that was his other half. He was quite curious as to what he could expect though during this wedding. He didn't know what he should come to imagine might or might not happened and he hoped he didn't somehow mess up.

The Zercan would admit he was concerned here with what was going to happen. Well, it was more so that he was worried. He just didn't want to make any mistakes. It was something he only came to focus on as he saw Bjork left speaking of going to see her son. With that said he remained where he was just lost in thought on all this. Things just seemed a bit more complicated with this thing he had to do. If it had been any other planet then he would have just left with his mate but here he had to go through all this. Well, he wasn't complaining. As long as he got to be with his mate and was able to make him happy then who was he to go on about this or that. He would just have to make the best of things and hoped that all went well.

It was unknown as to how long Darius had sat where he was left but it seemed only shortly after, or sometime after, Bjorn could be seen. He was definitely surprised by when the youth suddenly came and grabbed him the way he did and came to kiss him. In a way he certainly was not going to complain. He would have happily kissed him back as well but it was a short kiss and soon enough Bjorn was talking. He really was happy. He was glad. He had to think this was all brought on by the wedding to come with whatever Bjorn's mother did. Well, this was turning out well. He wasn't sure what he could say now to what Bjorn said so he didn't say anything right away. He was with his mate who was really quite happy. What more could there be to make things better. He was going to be leaving eventually to his planet so he couldn't say anything could make this better. But it wasn't something he could keep thinking on with the kiss given once more that was just as passionate as before and he couldn't help but return the kiss with his own.

[bjorn]

Bjorn kissed back when Darius kissed him. Ever time the kissed, Bjorn fell in love all over again. It couldn't be natural for to be this happy, was it? Bjorn wrapped his arms around Darius' powerfull neck, breathing in his scent. Mmm, he smelled so good. Bjorn briefl wondered how far his mother had gone, but he pushed the the thoughts out of his head, leaving more room to think about Darius. 'I'm so happy with you Darius." Bjorn breahed quietly Bjorn couldn't imagine his life without Darius.

"Did ou rnjoy our breakfast this morning. We made it with love." Bjorn said sweetly.He sat down, and patted the seat next to him. Bjorn went silent for awhile, left to his own thoughts before he finall spake. "Is there anything you'd like to do while in Iceland?" Bjorn asked him, "I'd be glad to take you."

Bjorn grabbed his knitting and started to work. "I wanted this to be a surprise, but I'm making this scarf for you. I hope you like it." Bjorn said holding up the partiall finished scarf. Bjorn smiled sweetly, hoping Darius liked it. He went back to working before he remmembered the ring. "I want to give you this." Bjorn said, pulling out the ring. "It shows other people that we've commited to be together for life."

[Kago]

Every time Bjorn kissed him he was tempted to let things linger and go on further. But he was sure that wouldn't be happening anytime soon. At least with what little he knew besides what he had been told. It left him feeling it was a good thing that the kiss they had shared had ended though at the same time he wished it lasted longer. It was with that thought he simply enjoyed being around the human that was his mate. Although he did always have to keep down the beast within that was more so tempted to get at his beloved. That seemed like an appropriate thing to call him with where they stood. He did love the human here very much and he was sure that would never change as long as he was what he was but was sure it wouldn't even if he was of another race.

It was a wonderful thing to hear all that Bjorn had to say towards how he apparently felt. It was always wonderful to know he could make someone he loved happy. It was a bit unexpected to hear the following statement or comment. He had to think back on what occurred earlier and wondered about it himself. That is the breakfast made. The truth of the matter was between the shrieking of Bjorn's mother to when the human male that was his mate took off he hadn't had a moment to eat. Really, after that Bjork had taken him and since then he had been sitting here thinking on this. He felt a bit bad that he actually hadn't been able to try anything so he couldn't say he enjoyed anything though he was happy that they went through the trouble of making enough to serve him as well. "Well, it looked good so I did." He just hadn't really gotten to eat anything off his plate and it was all probably cold by now. "I know so little of this place I couldn't say or think of anything to do. Really, how could he be expected to figure anything out here when he didn't even know where to start. "I would be happy to do anything you would like to show me." He thought that was the next best thing to be said here. He really did want to do whatever Bjorn wanted him to. He would only be on this planet for so long so it only made sense that he would go wherever Bjorn went and look at whatever he wanted to show him.

It was something that Darius very much appreciated when he heard the mention of the scarf being made. "Well, thank you for that." It wasn't something that had to be made but apparently Bjorn had wanted to make it. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at Bjorn and wondered what he was thinking. Even though it wouldn't be cold like it was here he still made a scarf. He would definitely come to cherish this when he received it. If he could he would even come to wear it about here without taking it off unless he wanted to avoid getting it wet or something of the sort. It was more so unexpected when the ring the other had was shown.

Was he to take it now? It was something Darius wondered as he suddenly though he should take out the ring he had as well. "Well, if you are thinking of giving that to me now then I want to show you that I want to give you this." With that said he pulled out the ring he had and showed it to Bjorn. He wondered if he should give it to him now or if he was suppose to wait. He waited to hear if this was correct or not from his other half.

[bjorn]

Bjorn began to tear up slightly as he was given his mothers ring. He looked at it longingly. "Did my mother give you this?" He asked, he knew it was a stupid question,she had to have given it to him. Small tears escaped his eyes and cascaded down his cheeks. Before he could do anything, he slipped his own ring on Darius's finger. He was even more surprised to find that it was an exactly perfect fit. Tear's still falling down Bjorn's face he looked up at Darius and smiled. Bjorn looked at the ring Darius held. "You're supposed to slip it on my finger now."

He wiped his eyes and began to speak. "What a ninny you must think me, crying over rings." Bjorn said with a small laugh. "I'm just so happy at all this. Getting married, starting a new life in a new place. It's all so.....rich!" Bjorn said with another smile. Everything was happening all at once. Other people may not have been able to handle it, but Bjorn was use to things happening all at once.

Bjorn exscused himself and went into the kitchen. He brought back a warm plate of the forgotten breakfast and a glass of creamy milk. "You didn't get to try my cooking this morning. And you'll not leave Iceland untill you have." He said with a bright smile. He placed the food in front of Darius, hoping he would finally be able to enjoy it.

[Kago]

Darius wondered if it wasn't obvious. "Yes, she did." It wasn't like he stole it or something. He really had no idea where to go about getting such things and if he wasn't mistaken one did need currency to get things on Earth. He did have quite a bit on him but he wasn't sure how much this would cost. Well, he didn't know how these things went so he was glad he was given something he could give to the human who was his mate. He couldn't help but smile at the reaction he saw that Bjorn had. He at first thought that he might not have liked what was going on but at the same time he looked happy so he assumed he was or hoped he was. Just in case thought perhaps he should ask.

Before he could speak to ask anything he heard what he was suppose to do. Was he suppose to do that? He was to put the ring on his finger as he suddenly noted that Bjorn had done for him. Well, if he was to do that then he would. But before he had the chance to he noted what was said by Bjorn. "I don't find you whatever that word means." He really had no idea what it meant but the point wash e thought nothing bad of the youth before him. He was happy he was that happy. He did believe one had to be really emotional to cry like that and that was something he had never been. As long as it wasn't a bad thing he had no reason to think negatively and it didn't seem a bad thing so he didn't.

To hear that Bjorn was happy was something that overjoyed the Zercan. He hadn't done much but it seemed that just that had come to make the human happy. That is what his mother had come to plan as it seemed to be her idea. He didn't think much of the whole thing himself but as long as Bjorn wanted it he was determined to go through with it. From what he described as he went on it made him wonder what he thought of it and what was this description he went on to use. If he knew the meaning of the word correctly that had to do with money but that had nothing to do with this. It made him consider that whatever was said had to be generally good so he didn't question it.

Now it seemed like a good time to use the ring as he was suppose to but once again before he could something happened. That is that Bjron excused himself. He waited there for his return quite surprised to see he brought food back. It seemed it was for him. He didn't really get to eat anything with all that happened so this was god. But first. "Before I eat anything I wanted to do this." At least since he was told that was what he was to do. Taking Bjorns hand now Darius went ahead and placed the rig on one of his fingers. The same one that he had placed the ring on him. It seemed like the best thing to go with so he did. "I'm glad I could make you as happy as you seem to be now." With this said he smiled once more. He wondered if e should just dive into eat now .he was hungry but before he did anything he wanted to see what Bjorn would do.

[bjorn]

As Darius so softly slipped the ring on Bjorn's finger, Bjorn couldn't help but cry again. Bjorn finally felt like he was soon to be married! So this is what generations of people before him felt like. Bjorn was far to happy, he had never been this happy in his life. Before he realized what he was doing, he had began passionatly kissing Darius. He finally pulled away, and hopped in his lap. "I hope I'm not in your way, I just want to be as close to you as possible." Bjorn said with a soft smile. Bjorn was an emotional, touchy feely person. From what Bjorn understood Darius was somewhat the oppisite. They were oppisite in so many ways, yet perfect for each other in every way.

Bjorn finally hopped off Darius's lap so Darius could finally eat something. Bjorn sat quietly, waiting for Darius to start eating. While he was waiting, he picked up his knitting and went on with his scarf. He went row after row beofre finally speaking. "I can't wait to teach our children how to knit." Bjorn said with a smile. "I can't wait to teach our children alot of things." Bjorn settled back into his scarf pattern before another thought hit him.

"Do you have any names for our future children?" Bjorn asked off-handedly. He hoped so, those Zercan names seemed so exotic to Bjorn. Of course, Darius could be thinking the same about Icelandic names. Bjorn wanted to still know more about Darius, so he asked. He was just that way. If he wanted to know somthing, he asked directly.

"Tell me about your family? Your mother, your father, your sister. Do you have any friends on Zerca? Any special things you like to do. Any special recipies you like. I suppose when we move, I can ask your mother for recipes. I'll bet your mother is a beautifull woman." Bjorn said sweetly, hoping to pay a nice compliment to his future in-laws. "And I'll bet you're ather is handsome as well." Bjorn added quickly.

"I have two good friends here, I'll hate to leave them." Bjorn said sadly, thinking about his two best friends in the world, Harpa and Stefan. "Oh, I completely forgott! They're supposed to come for tea and lunch tommorrow. You'll get to meet them!" Bjorn chirpped. Bjorn was still unsure of what all he would be leaving and ganing as he made this transition in his life. He wished his father were still alive. If he were, Bjorn would have one of their "father/son" talks that they had. He missed those most of all.

Bjorn hopped sadness hadn't filled his eyes to much. His eyes were a curse, they showed whatever emotion Bjorn felt on the inside, no matter how he tried to hide it. Bjorn collected himself before he asked Darius another question. "So how did you get here, and how will we get back to Zerca?"

[Kago]

Darius wondered for a moment if Bjorn was always like this. That is as he had come to place the ring on his finger he had come to cry. It still didn't look like he was unhappy or sad so he wondered what the tears was for. He imagined it could only be because he was happy though he still was a bit at a loss towards his happiness directed towards this. He just understood that being given something that one's family member cherished before was something that would make someone emotional to a certain extent. Regardless of the reasons here though he was really quite happy that he was able to bring joy to the human that was to be his mate. It left a faint smile set upon his features as he considered it all.

It was random to have his mate suddenly seat himself upon his lap and even coming to kiss him. Didn't he know what kind of feelings he evoked when he did that. It left him a bit frustrated and not in a way that said he was angry. He just had to grin and bare it though he was definitely not grinning at the moment. He was just doing the latter. "Your not in the way." He thought to say this as he wondered what he meant. Although it was ab it uncomfortable in the manner that he referred to or thought back to with how close Bjorn was. Really, he wondered if he knew just how much he came to tempt him with his simplistic actions.

There seemed to be a moment to eat so Darius went ahead and ate a few bites of food. He did that until he heard what was said about future children. Of course this was also after he noted that Bjorn had moved off his lap giving him room to move about and making him a bit more comfortable, with what was mentioned before, but still having him also miss the bit of extra warmth he received from his loved one. Not that he was cold. He just liked being close to the human that was his mate. He wouldn't mind getting even closer but he didn't imagine that was possible. At least it didn't seem so with how Bjorn tempted him and left him without the slightest consideration of how his presence effected him. But maybe he was over thinking it. He supposed he couldn't imagine the human would feel quite the same way he did. They were after all of two very different races thought their looks were similar to some extent.

With the subject of children voiced Darius had to stop eating. Well, he didn't have to but he felt the need to. He wanted to speak. "I don't." He spoke this being sure that he had swallowed the food he had last placed in his mouth. It would be rude to speak with his mouth full after all. "I hadn't considered children." He thought to be honest with that. "At least not with how it seemed I wouldn't find that special someone to be with." Now that he had he looked forward to having children with the youth he was with now. He was just overall happy to have a child with someone he cared for so much.

"I'm not sure what else i can say about my family." He spoke thoughtfully as he thought back to him. He thought he said as much as he could basically. "You'll get to meet them soon enough." He said this thinking they would leave the planet eventually so there was no need to keep talking about them though his family was very much wonderful in his eyes and he looked forward to introducing Bjorn to them."My mother however, was not female." He wanted to just correct Bjorn on that. "He is still however beautiful." Thinking back to his mother's appearence he recalled that he had a certain effeminate appearence that he was use to. "My father, I would say, is definitely handsome." He could recall his mother complimenting his father with such a remark. "At least my mother has always said." Not that he thought differently. He just never thought on how his parents looked.

Considering compliments it seemed like a good time to voice his own personal thoughts. "I must say that your mother is quite beautiful as well and your father looked like quite a handsome fellow from his photograph." That was all he had to go by with the father of his mate. He really did wish he could have seen or rather meet him in person. It was unfortunate that death had taken him. He had to wonder if the father of Bjorn would have approved of this. He hoped so. At least the mother did.

There was silence on Darius' part as he heard Bjorn go on about his friends. There seemed to be nothing more to say at the moment so he was silent as he listened to Bjorn speak. It was nice to hear he had friends. It wasn't really a surprise with the humans personality. It was unexpected to hear he would actually be meeting Bjorn's friends. "I look forward to meeting them." He wondered what they would be like. Perhaps they would be like Bjorn or perhaps they were completely different from how his mate was.

The question that came up last was one he thought he spoke of earlier. Perhaps not exactly the way the question was worded though. "I came here by ship and I plan to go back that way." He wondered if Bjorn would be alright with that mode of transportation. It was really the only way they had to travel so he would have to be. He could just imagine now how his ship Talim would react to meeting Bjorn. He was sure the A.I. of his ship would have quite a bit to say as it always did.

[bjorn]

"I know my friends will adore you, just like I do." Bjorn said with a smile, still knitting on Darius's scarf. He was begining to make good progress on it. Bjorn looked around, the sun was still high in the sky. "It must only be early afternoon." Bjorn interjected casually. "I'm allready sleepy." Bjorn said with a small laugh. He hated feeling so lazy in the afternoon, especially when there was so much to do to occupy his time. Bjorn got up and began pacing around the living room, trying to find somthing to do.

Bjorn finally got up and made an announcement. "I'm going to take a shower, I'll be back directly!" Bjorn chirpped, kissing Darius as he walked out of the room. He grabbed a towl and a change of clothes, then started the water. He undressed and hopped under the warm spray, calming his body down.

He hoped out of the shower, dried off and dressed. He walked out to the living, kissing Darius as he sat back down. Bjorn twiddled his thumbs for awhile but still the fact that he was bored wouldn't leave him. Finally, we hopped up and shouted brightly, "Darius, take me to your ship? I want to go out." Bjorn grabbed his coat and things, hopping Darius would be very quick to say yes.

[Kago]

Darius was glad to hear that he wouldn't be disliked by these friends of Bjorn. He had to admit he was wondering about that. He couldn't real say it left his mind though as he had to wait and see how things actually turned out. Thought on the subject now he was surprised to hear what Bjorn suddenly said about the time. Was he tired this early? He didn't think they had been up that long especially if the time given was right. But he knew some people like to take naps so perhaps this was just the same. He considered that thought as he wondered if Bjorn was the kind of person who liked to take naps and such. He could imagine he might. He would just have to ask later.

It was unexpected to hear what sounded like a random announcement of sort. Apparently Bjorn wanted or rather was going to take a shower. As he headed out he was kissed and he gave an ever so faint smile at that as he watched the other male leave the room. He supposed that left him to wait. He briefly wondered if he should take a bath. He couldn't help but consider the idea of actually bathing with Bjorn but then thought he probably shouldn't dwell on such thoughts or he might be tempted to do it. But the last thing he wanted to do was something that wasn't wanted.

How long had Darius come to wait now as Bjorn was taking his shower. He wasn't sure. All he was aware of was that he got lost in thought on different matters. He still considered taking a shower himself but he would have to wait until his mate got back. One of the things he briefly wondered was where Bjorn's mother was. If he wasn't mistaken she had last gone to look for Bjorn but hadn't returned. Perhaps she was just giving them time alone or was busy. Well, either choice was alright to him. Knowing that she could walk in at any point on them, not that he would doing something, left things bit...something. He didn't think to be surprised though at any point by her. Not with his heightened senses. Not that it was something to think on either. He was quickly moving on to think on another subject.

The Zercan's mind lingered for a bit on something until he noted Bjorn had come back. It seemed his human, his mate, was quick to get back from the shower or perhaps he took a long time. He wasn't sure. All he was sure of was that the human had come back and kissed him as he had sat down. Then he surprised him by mentioning wanting to see his ship. Did he really want to see his ship? Well, he supposed he wouldn't ask unless he was serious. Though sometimes he wasn't that good at telling jokes from actual questions or statements. That he imagined was from the lack of being a very social person. "If you really want to then sure." They would have to go outside of town though in a location where Talim could pick them up without having to land. That is it was like teleportation or exactly that actually. Next best thing to walking onto the ship which couldn't always happen. "We'll need to walk a ways though." He meant he would have to walk out of town in order to get there to a good location to be taken to his ship.

Considering that Bjorn wanted to see his ship he thought he should tell Talim to land but not right away. When he got close he would call Talim on his communicator. "We'll have to head out of town." Darius spoke this as he made his move to go to the door however he had to take a quick trip to the room he was staying in. It was where he left his shoes. Without thinking to say anything he hurried off towards the bedroom where he retrieved his shoes and was quick to return now putting them on. He had been barefoot since he woke up. He wasn't planning to head outside so why would he wear shoes. He was fine either way but he didn't care to walk outside and step on anything that could hurt his feet. "Just follow me." This was spoken as Darius neared the door and didn't hesitate to open it and head outside. He was quite serious about going to his ship now and he hoped Bjorn meant to go now and not later. He was already walking off but waiting for Bjorn so he didn't go fast. He was heading back the way he had come into the town here where he had started off on this planet.

Bjorn finished putting on his winter accesesories and dashed out the door after Daruis. He finally caught up with him, and slipped his hand into Darius's hand. "I don't mind walking long, especially if I'm with you." Bjorn said, squeezing Darius's hand affectionatly. As they walked, Bjorn pointed out different landmarks of his childhood to Darius. Where he went to school, where he bought his yarn for knitting, the little cafe he and his friends liked to hang out at. Bjorn felt somewhat like a tour guide, pointing out this and that location to Darius.Bjorn looked as the city grew smkaller in the distance. "When you sound out of town, I didn't know you meant into the wastelands." Bjorn said with a laugh.

Before he knew it, the pavement has disappeared from underneath them. They were now walking on the stony soil of the land further inland. The marvel of Iceland, where once was city now was nature. Flowing rivers, miountains, vally's, rocky beaches to the north. Somthing suddenly familiar struck Bjorn, but he couldn't quite place it. As they walked along side a small stream it, it hit him.

'My father use to take me here!" Bjorn exclaimed happily. "He would take me here for father/son time. We would came out here and explore nature, or just scream into the air if we were upset." Bjorn smiled happily. Bjorn ran quickly and came upon a rocky hill.

"Aha!" Bjorn excalimed. "If I'm not mistaken..." Bjorn trailed off before he started climbing the hill. When he reached the top, he smiled. "I knew it! Darius, come see!" Bjorn shouted gleefuly. He waited for Darius to climb the hill. When he reached the top, Bjorn pointed down. What was in the valley was a little man carved from one of the large stones. "It's a troll, the vikings probably put that here to pay homage to the original inhabitors of Iceland." Bjorn explained.

"Allright, enough nostolgia. Lead me to your ship, are we anywhere close?" Bjorn asked.

Darius had thought he would simply be guiding Bjorn to where his ship would be but he found things weren't just that. He found as they went along Bjorn came to point out things that he knew about in the area. Places he was apparently familiar with to some extent. He could only acknowledge things silently as he went along. There wasn't much to say as he had no comment about the things he pointed out. At least not now. Not when he had his mind on the best way of showing the human that was his mate the ship he had come in. It wasn't something that was difficult to do but he had to be careful with the fact this planet certainly didn't need to be shown anything more then it may have already seen from other worlds.

With all that was seen Darius was quite thoughtful on the town he had come to arrive in. The place he had seemingly chosen at random. He really must have been lucky. That was what he was thinking at least as he spared a glance at Bjorn every chance he could. To catch sight of the youth had his mind firmly set or at least wandering back to what he was lucky enough to have. As well as what he had to look forward to which he did indeed very much look forward to. He just didn't know how he could be patient enough to wait. He didn't know but he knew he had to be and it was with such thoughts he went back to focusing on the matter at hand. That he was going to his ship.

The Zercan wasn't sure how long it took but it seemed soon enough they were out of town. Now it was a straight course, of sorts, to his ship. Now he wondered if he could give Bjorn a ride instead of walking in his human form. It was something he thought would be quicker but before he could get far into thought on the idea Bjorn caught his attention. Apparently there was something he had to show him or something he wanted to tell him. He was quite surprised with what he heard and saw. He was close behind the human as soon as he was called to see anything. In general though he would have been close behind simply because he wanted to remain close by Bjorn.

It was an honor to be able to see something that it seemed Bjorn was able to share with his father. That is the view and whatever else. He wondered then if the human that was his mate really cared to leave this planet. With all the memories he had and such. He supposed if it was something his human really wanted he would have remained. He was reluctant but he realized that he was willing to do whatever he could for his mate and that included things he didn't care to. Unless he seriously saw something wrong with it but for the most part he saw no reason to not do what was asked or wanted of him. It was just something he noted though he never thought about it before.

"I thank you for showing me this." Though Darius was the one who was suppose to lead the way this little stop was something he was happy for. Now he could go back to focusing on finding the ship. He needed to call Talim to see where the ship was exactly though he didn't doubt that Talim was exactly where he had been. "It shouldn't be too far now, just follow me." With that said Darius started to walk but then he paused and looked over at Bjorn. "On second thought." He spoke as he moved over to the human. "This will be quicker." With that said Darius picked up Bjorn in his arms and carried him much like one would a bride. He gave no warning nor uttered any other words as he suddenly took off in a run with Bjorn in his arms.

It really was for the best or at least quicker. Moving through the area and around any large obstacles he came to a clearing where he had originally started out in. There before him now was clearly a ship and not the one that goes over the waters. "Here it is." He spoke with a faint smile gracing his lips. He moved towards the ship that was obviously open. To Darius it seemed obvious he was expected. No doubt Talim was keeping track of him so it wasn't necessary to call. "It's not much." e spoke, suddenly thoughtful upon the details of everything. He was just a single person and that was what his ship was based on. Well, it was just him but others could surely fit at any point in time. It was just everything there was styled his way or not so much. He had no sense of style to speak of. Everything was plain and it seemed odd to think on when his mate clearly was anything but.

Moving to enter the ship, not giving his human a chance to get down just yet, as he still held him in his arms, he came to walk into the ship welcomed to a darkened room. Well, not quite with the lights from outside but it seemed things had been turned off. Now what was this about? They walked into what was clearly a hall that lead from the left to the right and a place to go in the front. That is that there was a different direction to go in every way. Now he gave Bjorn a chance to get down from his arms. "Feel free to take a look around or go back outside." He realized that he didn't at all ask if carrying or doing what he had so far was alright with the youth. "I apologize if I've caused you any discomfort." This was spoken with a sincere expression as he looked down at Bjorn. He wondered if he even wanted to be in the ship at all let alone approach it. He realized he had been quite thoughtless on how the other may have felt approaching the space ship.

Bjorn was surprised when Darius picked him up. Bjorn threw his arms around Darius's neck and held on thightly. Before he knew it, Bjorn was being whisked into the winds at speeds he never knew were possible. Bjorn laughed excitedly as the wind blew threw his hair and hit him in his face. The excitement was fantastic, Bjorn made a mental note to remind Darius to do this again sometime. They finally came to a stop, "You didn't cause me any discomfort at all! I loved it!" Bjorn hoped out of Darius's arms. Bjorn looked, and litteraly gasped at what he saw.

It was like somthing out of a science movie. Even in Bjorn's wildest most fantastic dreams, he never would have even thought that such a thing could exist. Bjorn just looked and looked for a bit and then walked around it. Bjorn was so taken with it, that he almost missed Darius going inside. Bjorn followed in sheer bliss. "This is amazing, I never thought such a thing could exist!"

Bjorn heard Darius tell him he could walk around, and sped off taking the advantage. He looked in rooms, ran down halls. Sat in weird looking chairs. He idulged himself like a kid a science museum. Bjorn was so happy as he began to go find Darius. Bjorn then realised he was lost!

He raced up and down corridoors, and in rooms. "Curses! This all looks alike." Bjorn said with a huff. He was begining to worry. He quickly got his wits about him, and calmly began to look around. Bjorn decided that he would find Darius when he found him, and began to explore further. As Bjorn explored, he heard Darius's voice. As he walked into the direction of it, he suddenly heard another one. Bjorn finally found the door and walked inside.
