It’s a lovely day. One of the best I’ve had in a long, long time. We stay in the little cave, happy around the fire, and just talk. We talk endlessly. I do most of the talking, telling him all about the early days after we resonated, and how strange everything was, and how he’d tried to teach me how to hunt without realizing that I was perfectly happy being a homemaker. I tell him of the first time I tried raw meat, of accidentally insulting his mother’s efforts to have a resonance feast for us, of how our little cave was set up before we lost it in the earthquake. I tell him of everything I can think of, and I make food as we talk.

The soup turns out lovely—thick and meaty and full of broth. Pashov eats two bowls of it and looks hungrily at the leftovers, and I feel a sweet ache of happiness as he steals a bite from my cup when I’m not looking. This is like how it was before, I think. My mate dearly loves to eat, and I love to feed him. The meat pies are less successful—I don’t have some of the seed meal I normally use, and I don’t have my frying pan. I use the smallest of the little plates and end up scorching the heck out of the underside. I can’t get them hot enough to crisp the outsides, but Pashov doesn’t seem to care. He devours each one the moment it’s off the fire, his eyes shining with pleasure. He declares them his second-favorite thing he has ever tasted, but won’t tell me what the first one is.

I suspect it’s dirty.

It kind of makes me want to jump him.

But I can’t. I need to slow it down. I have to be sure that I’m totally fine with Pashov 2.0 before I jump in with him again.

It’s still a wonderful day, though, and it gives me hope for the future.
