I want you to trust me...... and by the morrow, I shall have implemented my plan to try and help you do that. "W-what are we going to name the child?! I have no ideas and- and that's terrible!" he wailed, eyes watering at the thought that he could imagine talking to their child and yet he couldn't think of a single name!
"I-I mean, I know we don't know the gender yet, b-but I should have an idea, shouldn't I? M-my dream was so real, but no names were there!"

 I love you, you love me...
The fae laughed lightly. "Traditionally, one waits for a sign. Such as, if the moon is full on the night of the birth, the child may be called Tristim, for it means 'light', or Saterra, for that means festivities, such as we have on such nights... or any number of other things, like perhaps Indeva, which is our word for the moon himself." he said, "There is rather a lot of choice, too, for there might be more than one sign, like a butterfly passing, a birdcall, a storm, anything really can inspire it."
He kissed him. "So, we'll be seeking the secret signs together, hm? But for now, you ought to find that dragon,,, and quit worrying so very much." he said, slowly lifting from the bed.
Soon to be a family!

I want you to trust me...... and by the morrow, I shall have implemented my plan to try and help you do that. Patrick blinked, then nodded slowly before kissing Taran's cheek and - lightly - his lips. "Ok I'll try to stop worrying so much..." he whispered, darting from the bed to go to the bathroom.
"Wait for me, alright? I won't be a minute!" he called over his shoulder as he disappeared from his room. A door could be heard closing, then the slight stirrings as Patrick's mother moved around in the kitchen.
On his way out of the bathroom, the young man bumped into his father who demanded to know whether his son was serious about travelling.
Patrick assured him that he was, promised to explain more later and hugged his dad before darting back into his room. He waited to see whether or not the Faery had any questions.

Taranieth, however, was simply waiting on the bed, a long, flowing blue robe around him. Clothing glamours were easy. Hopefully, Patrick wouldn't notice that the robe wasn't there at all- the tactile sensations were harder to do.
He stood when Patrick arrived, a smile taking to his lips. "Shall we be off, then? he asked.

At the bottom he waited for Taranieth, holding out a hand for the Faery to take.
Patrick smiled at Taranieth. "We could link arms instead if you'd prefer... and I don't mind pretending to be drunk if that'd make it simpler when people see us..."

"No." Taranieth said, "I'd rather avoid having to glamour myself for now anyhow. We can simply go to the forest." He thought a bit, then added- "Not that I have a problem with linking arms..."

"Glad to hear it..." he murmured, smiling and not slowing his pace until they hit the trees.
Then he released the Faery and cupped his hands around his mouth to call out in a soft voice: "Keeegan, I request some time with you to discuss - uh - things..."

Taranieth smiled sadly, noting that Patrick didn't seem to want him to hear this discussion.
Keegan came, slowly. He hated them to think he was at their beck and call.
"I shall simply... wander off now, correct? Taranieth said, looking to Patrick. "My word of honor not to try to hear anything, and get out of hearing range without lingering."
Soon to be a family!

I want you to trust me...... and by the morrow, I shall have implemented my plan to try and help you do that. "Thank you, Taran. I'll find you soon..." he murmured as he kissed his fiance's lips softly. "I don't want to banish you, but I really do need to speak to Keegan about some things..."
Patrick smiled, waved to Master Taranieth, then turned an apologetic expression to Keegan. "Didn't know how else to tell you I needed to talk to you, which is why I yelled. If there's some system we can work out to set up meeting times without my bellowing, such as a code written in stones or tree bark... that could work too..."

Taranieth melted into the forest, and went to his house, resisting the temptation to spy with the windows. He had never said anything about lipreading.... but still, he was trying to build trust here.
Keegan rolled his eyes and tapped his foot impatiently. He didn't really want to arrange meeting times- and besides, what would be the point? They had only four days left, and then Patrick would be living with them.
Soon to be a family!

I want you to trust me...... and by the morrow, I shall have implemented my plan to try and help you do that. "The point, Keegan, is that I want someone to trust me. Taran is trying to, and I know that - I seriously like him for it - but I don't think I'm in love with him yet, which means I can't properly express how much I want this to work."
He paused, running a hand through his hair. "See, I know that sometime in the future I'm going to need to lie - need, not necessarily want - though I don't know why. Maybe I'll have something to hide - NOT an affair of any kind, but... I don't know. Anything from a surprise present for Taranieth to something I just can't tell him about since I might not be sure how he'd react."
Patrick sighed. "Bottom line, Keegan, is I want you to trust me. I want you to know I'm not cheating or trying to hurt Master Taranieth, I want you to help me if I need it without the - the emotional ties Taran will have.
For example, some enemy of Taranieth's blackmails me but I can't get out of it and Taran thinks its an affair, I need you to know - to make him ask me rather than assuming anything. If there's a spell and he starts really thinking, then he might notice it whereas before all he saw was my strange behaviour and the lack of a love confession."
The human sat, crossing his legs. "I'll postpone the wedding if you want me to, to have time to prove that I do want this future with him and our child - or children. He gulped and looked at his hands.
"Love may not be there but I do care, mostly for his health and opinion of me. He's offering me more than I thought I'd have, since I never wanted to be made to marry a woman, not even for the blessing of children..." he whispered, eyes glittering.

Keegan listened intently. At first, he looked a little confused. Then he started to understand.
He wasn't sure how to convey "we'll cross those bridges when ahd if we come to them," but it hardly mattered.
Patrick mentioned postponing the wedding.
He whonked him in the back of the head with his tail for the stupidity. He made wedding ring in the air and pointed to it insistently with a claw. Then he quickly made himself long smoke-hair and posed with a silly grin. He ran a claw through the ring, dispersing it, then mimed rather exaggerated crying.
He wasn't quite sure how well he had conveyed the message, so he looked a Patrick with a 'got-it'? face.
Soon to be a family!

I want you to trust me...... and by the morrow, I shall have implemented my plan to try and help you do that. Patrick blinked at the pain, then held his hands out in a placating gesture. "Alright alright! I only meant I want to enter this marriage knowing I'm trusted not to deliberately harm - or go behind - Taranieth's back. I wouldn't want to hurt him by postponing the wedding, it was just a suggestion to give you time to test me...!" He explained, a pleading look on his face as he stared at the dragon.
Then he paused and tilted his head. "Though I do have a couple of questions for you, and though they're not as dire as the previous one... I'd still like to know..."
He shook his head. "But first, do you trust me not to deliberately hurt Taranieth, or to cause him worry without a damn good - or unavoidable - reason?" He asked softly his eyes blazing into Keegan's as he held his breath.

I love you, you love me...
Keegan seemed pretty pleased with himself, but then he had to wonder at the statement.
He shook his head in a definite no. He didn't trust him at all. Yet.
He didn't distrust him, but he wasn't completely sure of him.
It was blunt, and probably hurtful, but that was Keegan's way.
Soon to be a family!

"Hopefully you will eventually, because having no allies will be damned difficult..." he added with a sigh before he bowed.
"Have a good day Keegan, and - I'll ask those other questions later and if you see Master Taranieth then please tell him I had to find a tree immediately but I will go to see his - your - house soon... bye..." He babbled, not taking a breath either during that speech or after it as he dashed away to find a tree far enough away...
