It was the first time in months she had gone home humming. She was happy. Though the last two days one could say she was frustrated enough to tear apart trees with her bare teeth, this night..she was in heaven. Or close to it! A wonderful night with a sweet man and a splendid dinner..which he cooked! Men who cooked where so hard to find. And those who cooked wonderfully where even rarer.

Lang had so much about him that was strange. He was, as he said to her, her challenge. And he was. He challenged her mind and heart. She did wonder, if Icer never introduced her to him, would he ever of spoken to her" Would he of ever approached her" Or would they of passed each other with just a flash of a smile?

Well it was obvious that was not the fact. Entering her lair she brushed off the fashioned dress she had wore for her date. She could still catch the scent of him on her from when they embraced. Her lair did seem empty though without the lumber she had prepared for Lang and Icer to use for the rebuilding. That was fine though! She found her way to her bed and eventually collapsed on the feather down bedspread, her eyes staring at the ethereal crystals embedded into the ceiling and walls.

After the disappearance of Dae she never thought herself to ever be happy again..but now ..there was hope.
