Dinner wasn’t awkward, and neither was sitting around the campfire afterwards. When Ellis went to take her evening soak, Benton went back to the tent that they shared.

The first night, when Ellis had looked hesitantly across the bed at him, Benton had tried to make her laugh. Tonight, when Ellis returned from her evening soak in the cold spring, he said, “Would you like to see some of my shots?” before it could get awkward between them.

Ellis looked startled.

“What about your battery?”

“I’ll recharge it,” said Benton. “I’ve always kept a spare charger for my electronics in my equipment bag, so that’s fine. Would you like to see?”

To his mingled relief and pleasure, Ellis nodded.

So they both clambered into the bed, Ellis curling up against his side so that she could see the viewing panel on his camera.

“These are really good!”

“Yeah?” asked Benton, pleased. If Ellis hadn’t currently had her head resting on his chest, Benton might have preened. As it was, he wondered if it would be too much to ask her what she liked best about his work. The colors? The compositions? His style?

“Yes! I can see why this is your job! The moments that you caught are really beautiful! And they seem… intimate sometimes. You really captured the firebirds’ spirits!”

Benton did preen then. It didn’t even matter that he was on his back with his mate lying half on top of him. He couldn’t help it. His mate was complimenting him. The way that she was looking at him – her beautiful eyes shining, admiration in every line of her – made Benton feel ten feet tall.

“Your eyes just now… They’re as amazing! Just like a firebird’s!”

Benton wilted.

Stupid firebirds. Why couldn’t she like a superior bird best? Something like, say, a phoenix? A phoenix was obviously better than any firebird.

Still, he was pleased by Ellis’ admiration. And he liked having her warm body pressed all along his side, her head a trusting weight against his chest and her soft hair tickling his skin. Benton decided to take her compliment in the spirit in which it was intended.

Happy, Benton continued to thumb through his shots for his appreciative audience of one.

There was more than one way to woo an errant soul mate.
