So one should best make sure they're well spent.

Yes. One should.

And possibly some very good memories.

I certainly hope so, my dear.

I definitely have quite a few now.

What's on your mind, darling?

I was just thinking how time is so very relative. When death is a real possibility, everything is very urgent.

I guess I've never really thought about it but then again, I've never really had to.

And I don't normally. The Ophanim always seem to bring it out.

Because they only come around once a century?

Yes. It is but an hour for them, a lifetime for mortal man. And, well, I'm still not certain what it is for me.

What does it feel like at times, baby?

It feels like I could sleep for centuries and nothing would change when I wake up.

Sometimes, I feel unneeded. *shrugs* It will pass.

Maybe it doesn't mean the same but I need you.

I'm sure the rest of them do too.

*smiles softly* No, it does not mean the same. It means more. Thank you.

*Presses a soft kiss to his mouth* Anytime, darling.

You are a delightful ego booster.

One of my many gifts though it's the truth with you.

I believe it is, yes.

Well, now you know it is. *Smiles at him*

*nods* Yes, Phae, I do.

The second isn't when you're a mortal living it.

No. I would imagine not.

I'm hoping it speeds up.

After a few centuries, it does. A little.

Do you know how badly it sucks to be a fledgling?

No. I do not.

It's like being on a leash or being a toddler. I'm not allowed to do anything fun.

Well, since I have never experienced either of those two things, I shall have to take your word for it. Although I do seem to recall that human toddlers have a great deal of fun.

Unfortunately I get the Sire with a stick up his ass. He didn't like my ideas of what I could replace it with.

Dare I ask what you suggested replacing it with?

Well he's a switch so I mentioned that maybe he should look into getting a good shag in.

I see. And he did not appreciate your suggestion?

No, for punishment I don't get to have any fun with any of them.

Perhaps, then, you should accept your punishment with grace. It will make the time go faster.

*frowns* I don't know how it would help but I haven't had luck with anything else.

It is worth the attempt, I should think.

It couldn't hurt me.
