 "So he told us, you can't sleep together, you need a room with two beds."

"And what did you reply?"

"I said, no, you've got it wrong, I'll pay you for the room but only if you give us a room with a large bed in it."

They all laughed.  They were beginning to understand each other and how misunderstandings would arise.

Fillun was feeling more comfortable in this situation and was gaining in confidence, both talking about their relationship, and thinking about it.

"Is that the way it's going to be for us?" he asked Bonnar, looking at him a bit worried, slightly biting his lip.

"If this is what you want, then yes that's how it's going to be," answered Bonnar, "but with one difference."

"What's that?" Fillun asked, getting more worried.

"You'll be king, and can do whatever you want!" joked Bonnar.

They all laughed again and Fillun felt comfortable, but blushed. 

But he was getting the hang of this, the idea was they talked about things, and laughed. 

The laughter helped to release the frustration because behind it all, each one of them had a difficult time trying to cover - or explain - his situation.

The four talked late into the night and when they were tired they went to bed.

In the morning, there was talk of travel, first a trip to Velastria.  At first mention of this Fillun reacted quickly, becoming very enthusiastic, and then making suggestions for the plans.

After that they were talking of the return to the castle, and what had to be done before then and what they could expect when they returned.

That night after dinner, there was a slight chill in the air outside, as they looked down the valley into Velastria.  Fillun felt arms wrapping around him from behind.  The scent of Bonnar was unmistakeable: he relaxed into his arms and felt protected, loved.  They stayed like that while the scent went down.  There was no need for words.

The conversation that night was kind of bitter-sweet, but Fillun felt an immense amount of love in his heart for this man who had taken him in, protected him, fed him, mentored him, and most of all loved him.  He also felt a pang of what it would be like to lose Bonnar, and jumped slightly.  As everyone was quiet and looking into the fire, they all turned to look at them when he jumped.

"What happened? Are you alright?" asked Bonnar

"I just ..." Fillun's eyes started to fill with tears ..." I just feel this time has been so special, and want it to be like this for us, always."

Bonnar smiled with a wise smile at him.  "I know, my love, what we have here is the best, but this is the foundation for the rest.  And when we can, when we have time, we'll come back here, this is our home, this is where we build our love.".

Fillun gave into tears and hugged him, and then kissed him.

The two horsemen left and they were alone, just together in front of the fire.
