Melinda's pride in Dalindme's accomplishment reverberated through the link they shared and warmed him in ways he'd never experienced before. In some ways, what was her happiness and what was his were fusing into one as they shared all that was in their hearts with eachother so effortlessly. A new 'normal' was being established between them, one in which loneliness and fear had no place. Melinda's bright smile was his Sun and the only true light in his life.<br/><br/>The colour that rose on Melinda's cheeks was something Dalindme marveled at. With it came good feelings of being wanted. Being wanted for the warmth of his body, the strength in his powerful frame, the sharpness of his vicious claws and most importantly fire all they was in his heart and mind. In everyway that was important he knew he was Melinda's and she was his.<br/><br/>Dalindme was gentle when he worried Melinda's delicate fingers with hits needle sharp teeth. They pricked at her, cool and dangerous, but did no harm.  A thrill coursed through their link as he enjoyed the taste of her without a need to devour her. He released his hold on her as she taught him a new word while wiggling her finger just a little. "F'nher," he cooed and then added a word as a a devilish light danced in his eyes, "deh' iszs'uhzz."<br/><br/>When Melinda showed off her pearly white teeth and snapped them together after sharing their name Dalindme shrunk back as if cowed by her. His face took on a mask of fear and timidity, the way hers had the first time he'd revealed his fangs to her. Yet, in truth, Melinda could tell he was joining in the  game and just playing at being afraid of her.
