D'arvn

U'fouinn was excited. He'd doned his best tunic and sat, toe tapping
waiting, impatient. Today was one of the first days he and D'arvn both
had completely free in a long time. They had made plans for a special
'trip', but D'arvn wouldn't reveal the details of the plan. U'fouinn
felt like a young schoolgirl eager, excited, and nervous. **Where is
he?** he wondered, glancing to the doorway.

D'arvn was late but he'd wanted to make sure everything was perfect
before he came to fetch is weyrmate. He grinned as he entered the room
and saw the tapping toe. "Hey there handsome, looking for a date?"

"You bet," U'fouinn said, relaxing the moment D'arvn arrived. "So,
where are we headed? Riding gear or not?" He asked, gesturing towards
his riding jacket on the couch.

"Not," he smiled an reached out his hand.

U'fouinn was intrigued. Smiling he stood and took his mates hand.
"Lead the way, love." Truthfully he didn't care where they went just
that they got to spend the day together with nary a care to bring them
down.

D'arvn tucked U'fo's hand into his elbow and lead him from their weyr.
"We're going for a picnic." They walked a ways down to the beach where
it was all set up. D'arvn pulled out a mark to give the weyrbrat he'd
asked to watch the set up and make sure it was undisturbed 'til he got
back. The table and chairs sat on a rock ledge above the waves, a
complete meal laid out upon it, including the wine.

"I love picnics," U'fouinn sighed as they approached the little scene
D'arvn had set up for them. "This is an amazing view," he breathed as
he took in the sights of the water, the meal, and his mate. "You've
outdone yourself once again," U'fouinn grinned happily.

"I know," replied D'arvn with a waggle of his eyebrows when U'fo
mentioned picnics. But then he became a little more serious. "You
deserve it my dear."

"Thank you love," he replied, moving to wrap his arms around D'arvn
and kiss him. "Shall we eat and then enjoy?" He asked, his own eyes
lighting up at that very thought. He loved when D'arvn surprised him
with little trips and things to remind him just how much and how
deeply they cared about each other.

"Yes," D'arvn smiled. "The food is hot and the wine at a perfect
temperature." He led the greerider to his seat and held his chair for
him.

"Thank you," U'fouinn replied, slipping into his seat and reaching for
his wine glass to take a sip. "This sure seems to have taken some
planning on your part." He lifted his glass towards his mate. "Shall
we toast to being together?"

D'arvn lifted his glass in return. "To another turn together," he
smiled for he hadn't forgotten their anniversary this turn like he had
last.

"You remembered!" U'fouinn beamed, clinking glasses with his mate.
Then, smiling at D'arvn, U'fouinn reached into his pocket and pulled
out a small box. "It's nothing grand, but I couldn't resist." He
pushed the box towards D'arvn.

"Whats this?" D'arvn pulled the little box toward him while with the
other hand he set down his glass and pulled out a long narrow package
that he pushed towards U'fouinn. He smiled.

Opening the one in his hand he grinned. A single earring gleamed in
the box. It looked like a sapphire stud. He pulled the plain silver
one he usually wore out of his ear and replaced it with the jewel.
"How does it look?"

"It looks wonderful on you and will be a perfect match when you are
with Falzeth." U'fouin was so pleased that D'arvn liked the gift.
Taking his own gift in his hands, he turned a quizzical look towards
his mate.

Opening it, U'fouinn gasped. "A new shuttlecock! It's so smooth. Oh, I
can't wait to throw my old one away. Maybe _now_ all my tapestries
won't be a mess when I work!" U'fouinn reached a hand across the table
to D'arvn.

"I love you D'arvn."

"And I love you," he replied and lifted his glass. "To us."
