"I learned something as well," Valzar said quietly. He was just having trouble making sense of what he had learned.

Callista smiled shyly. "Would you like some time alone? To think about things?"

"No, I don't think so," he said shaking his head slowly. "It wouldn't make much of a difference either way, would it? Even apart, you're still in my mind..." On it, and I'm in her's...

"Ok..." Callista sat down and dug her hooves in the dirt. "I could stay out. If you wanted me to, I would..."

"But I don't want you to," he said softly. "I'm sorry, this is all very strange to me."

"I know. I try to understand, but having never been on your end of this, I know that I probably have no idea what you're going through."

Valzar shook his head, "I don't even know what I'm really going through. I'm just taking this as it comes. But I do know that I care a great deal for you, and that I can't allow anything to harm you..."

"I think that's a pretty good start. I've never had lifemate before. I've heard stories, but some of them are...a little more...personal." She blushed and looked away. "Right now, all I care about is being with you, helping you any way I can."

"I would hope you haven't had one before," Valzar smiled. "They seem to be more permanent arrangements..."

"I've been doing a lot of thinking about it, putting things together. I met you when I was a baby. Ever since then, I've never really been comfortable around any male but you. Remember that one time, when we kissed? It felt so right. And when you held me, it was like the world stood still. How could that be wrong?"

"But...we're different species - and I don't mean a little different like a pegasus and a unicorn - you're of the earth and I'm of darkness..."

Callista frowned. "One of us will give up something to live with the other. I've thought about that too...I'd give up my immortality to stay with you. I'd grow old and die when you do. And even if you are of darkness, that's why you have me. Every darkness needs a light."

Painc - that was a good way to describe the emotion that overcame Valzar. "You will do no such thing!" he said nudging her. "I can let you give up your life like that..."
