Feeling much more human, the pair dismounted from Lillyth who was more
than happy to curl right back up with Menanth. She had gone for a
brief swim by herself - not a true bath - but the green dragon was
looking much more green than gray now.

Tucking her arm into D'ren's, she let him lead her back into his Weyr.
She had to admit that now that she felt clean and refreshed, her
blood was up and she was _not_ interested in sleeping. It was almost
like the second round of Flight lust, and it was stealing over her bit
by bit.

They were alive. Alive, when others were dead.

Pausing near the couch, she pulled herself into his arms and kissed
him deeply. "We're alive, D'ren..."

"Alive and together." He followed his words with another deep kiss.
During their bath he'd had time to think, and what could have happened
that day was sinking in. He could have timed it, like some of the
others and collapsed like the Weyrleader had, or been lost /between/.
Dysali could have gone after the weyrlings and never returned. They
were lucky, very lucky.

She wrapped her arms tight around him, trying to feel his heart beat
under his loose tunic. "Too many clothes... I want to know we're
together." she murmured huskily. She turned her eyes to his, lost
for a moment in the realization of all the daily dangers being a
dragonrider represented. "I shouldn't feel so glad... but I am.. we
survived another tragic day. Together."

D'ren stripped off his shirt. "I love you, Dysali," he murmured as he
kissed her.

The words and his bare chest acted like a tonic on her, revitalizing
her body and awakening her skin to his touch and her lips to his kiss.
She pulled back only long enough to strip out of the loose tunic and
leggings she'd worn on Lillyth's back, until she was completely naked
again. They had bathed together but had been too interested in
cleaning up to stop to do ..other things...

But now.

"I love you too, D'ren. Take me to bed... please... I need to feel
alive." in the same husky tone as before, pressing herself back up
against him. She was literally aching to feel him above her...
beneath her... inside her.. all around her.

He gathered her up in his arms and carried her to his sleeping room.
Laying her down on the bed, he slid out of his pants and joined her on
the light furs. So much lost today . . . but everything that was truly
important to him was still here. A hand slid across her smooth, clean
thigh and he bent to kiss her.

She joined her fingers to his, pulling him closer. One leg slipped up
to cradle his waist, her other hand tangled in his hair. She had
wondered if they would drift apart eventually; they'd been so close,
so long now.

But there was nothing of drifting in the kisses she pressed to the
hollow of his neck, nor the way she breathed his name.

Alive and with D'ren was a very nice place to be.
