As Fraener lie there, next to Aetheiria, he wondered if they'd ever actually love each other.<span style="font-style: italic">It's not... completely impossible, is it?</span>he wondered to himself. He watched her breath. her chest rising up and falling down rhythmically.<span style="font-style: italic">Now, I've had my share of females. But I have a past with Aetheiria. She's special. She radiates this kind of special... I don't know, uniqueness.</span>he made sure not to broadcast this to her, blocking any foreign thought. He was worn out from the evenings activities, and he could tell that she was too. She was still laying on her back, wings spread, eyes closed. He tucked in his wings and tail, causing him to appear fully human, and rolled over to face her. "What do you want to do now? Head back home?" he asked her. She answered without opening her eyes. "We should probably get our stuff and move in together. For the sake of appearances." "Uhh sure..." Fraener said. Aetheiria summoned her clothes into existence. She stuck her tongue out at Fraener as he brought out his wings and flew up to the top of the cliff to retrieve his. They both flew back home, in their half-human form.<br/><br/>When they landed, they were shown to their new den, a large open cave, with their stuff already in it. It was a little bit away from the main den system, up on a different mountain a short way away, on the opposite side of the valley.The cavern was plenty spacious, with a some light shining in through two small holes in the roof, on the right side. The ground was relatively flat and composed of mostly smooth stone, with some dirt and plants beneath the hole. The plants on the ground grew up the wall, reaching up and pushing through cracks in an attempt to reach the sun. There were some vines making their way down into the den as well, which would have to be maintained.  Fraener and Aetheiria looked around. "Seems kind of small, don't you think?" she asked, clearly annoyed. "Nah we can make this work. I'll just put my belongings on one side..." "I'll take the left." Aetheiria said, interrupting Fraener. "Ok..." he replied, looking slightly downtrodden.  "That sounds fine, I guess." Aetheiria said. About an hour or so later, they were finished, having left two open spaces, one on each side of their new home, for them to sleep, away from each other. Fraener asked Aetheiria, "So I'm hungry. Do you wanna go hunting together? I figure that if we're to be Elders, we should at least know how to work together." Her eyes light up, "Sure! I love to hunt. And you can't be THAT bad at it." she giggled. They swiftly shifted into their full dragon form and left their new home, flying out into the darkening sky, the sunset casting long and inconsequential shadows over the forest floor.<br/><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?start=127&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;biw=1276&amp;bih=647&amp;tbm=isch&amp;prmd=imvns&amp;tbnid=6zA7XAEEWMKIqM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.best-of-european-union.eu/2012/01/03/mylna-cave-awesome-place-in-western-tatras-mountain-in-poland/&amp;docid=mfiCrjeRGs43CM&amp;imgurl=http://www.best-of-european-union.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mylna-cave-tatras-mountain-poland.jpg&amp;w=468&amp;h=314&amp;ei=0G-DT7esB46c8gTAsvS5Bw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=603&amp;vpy=277&amp;dur=29&amp;hovh=184&amp;hovw=274&amp;tx=89&amp;ty=136&amp;sig=101254914017781853603&amp;page=7&amp;tbnh=139&amp;tbnw=185&amp;ndsp=22&amp;ved=1t:429,r:13,s:127,i:172">Cave Entrance</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?start=155&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;biw=1276&amp;bih=647&amp;tbm=isch&amp;prmd=imvns&amp;tbnid=xCXF9VsbUSMK6M:&amp;imgrefurl=http://gwvault.ign.com/View.php%3Fview%3DGuides.Detail%26id%3D25&amp;docid=KsyiNSRIdl7b7M&amp;imgurl=http://gwvault.ign.com/images/Guides/preapocascalon/cavern_big.jpg&amp;w=1280&amp;h=1024&amp;ei=QG6DT52xBoOC8QTjiKnCBw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=203&amp;vpy=178&amp;dur=834&amp;hovh=201&amp;hovw=251&amp;tx=128&amp;ty=123&amp;sig=101254914017781853603&amp;page=8&amp;tbnh=139&amp;tbnw=216&amp;ndsp=22&amp;ved=1t:429,r:5,s:155,i:232">The Den</a>
