D'ale

D'ale woke pleasantly with his arms full of warm body. He didn't open
his eyes immediately as he adjusted to the morning. His memory came
back slowly and with it a gentle smile.

His arm tightened and he looked down to see the tossled black hair
spread across his chest. He dropped a soft kiss on the top where a few
stands of silver touched the once completely raven mass.

"Kenza," he softly whispered. "You awake?"

"Mmhm," she murmured, though she didn't move. Kenza had to admit that
she felt downright comfortable and quite sated at the moment. She was
in no hurry to go or do anything. "I think I'd forgotten how much I
missed having you around, D'ale," she said with a playful laugh as she
turned her head to look up at him. "So much so that I seem to be
forgetting already just how much, perhaps you'll have to show me again
sometime." Kenza was in no hurry for any such thing at the moment,
rather content to just enjoy his presence and the warmth from his body
that seeped into her own.

He smiled as she looked up at him. His fingers swept a few strands of
hair from her eyes. "And I've missed you too!" he said. The thought of
the stress and strain of his 'relationship' with Lesora and wondered
what had possessed him to try something that was near impossible for a
dragonrider. He really had missed Kenza, she was sensible and clear
headed.

She was not a mass of conflicting emotions that he didn't understand.
D'ale admired and understood Kenza in a way that only comes with many
years of intimacy. She was his friend first and if she wasn't ready
for another go right now... that was ok. He kissed her forehead.

"Our son is going to Stand" he said with pride in his voice.

"He's grown into a magnificent young man," Kenza said, propping her
head up and looking at him with a smile on his face. "He has made us
both proud, D'ale." Her fingers traced a lazy circle around the hairs
on his chest. "I'm glad you will be here for this special moment."
Kenza thought about Kendale for a moment, knowing how hard he had
taken her injuries Turns before. She still thought she saw a shadow of
something in his eyes when they were together, but if she was right,
he masked it well.

"Do you remember the day he was born?" Kenza asked, her smile wide,
her fingers still playfully teasing him. She could remember it like it
was yesterday.

A grin split his face. "Yes, it was the second proudest day of my
life." only the day Torerath had hatched and claimed him was better
etched in his mind.

"Second?" She teased lightly, "Let me guess, meeting me was the _best_
of them all!" Kenza chuckled and rolled onto her back, gazing at the
ceiling. "Do you know what I remember more than anything from that
day?" She breathed in and out as she thought back to the day Kendale
entered the world. "I remember the sound of rain and the smell of
soap." She twisted back onto her sides, her fingers walking up his
chest as she grinned. "Strange, the things we remember." Her voice
turned a bit sultry as she added, "I remember your scent best of all."
Kenza lifted herself up onto her elbow and leaned in to kiss his
mouth.

He laughed at her light mood. This was a rarity for Kenza who was
usually so very driven and serious about her job. Of course she was
also very _good_ at her job.

"It _was_ raining that day," he smiled and he agreed heartily with
her. Even more so when she leaned in to kiss him. His fingers threaded
into her dark hair that he'd always loved so much "and I've always
loved the smell of you on me." he growled with no little passion.
Pulling on her hair he rolled them both over and covered her body
again with his. "You _know_ what happens when you do that."
