Subject: It's java time!

When Marz saw Saras rush off to the fire pit and coax some flames to life, he grinned. "Wish I could start a fire like that," he said to the cat. The animal crawled up to rub its head against Marz's chin before scurrying back to the cheese. "Guess I should get the supply bag and make some java, huh?"

The sound of amplified footsteps made him look up. Surprisingly, Tristan was headed his way. Probably wants to berate me some more. He narrowed his eyes, and stared at the dragon, bracing himself for more of his harsh words. The tense look on his face softened immediately when he received an apology instead. A small smile played upon his mouth after Tristan took hold of his hand. The dragon's touch was like magic, ridding him of the earlier resentment he felt at his lover for shunning him.

A twinge of guilt hit him when Tristan mentioned seeing him and Jeremy in the water. Exactly how much did you see? he wondered, fidgeting nervously. When the dragon didn't pitch a bitch about the kiss he shared with the kid, Marz decided he must have missed the sight. Thank the gods! Instantly, he relaxed and focused his attention on the rest of he lover's words.

"I know people say I like to be alone." Tristan lowered his head, staring at the ground while he spoke. "But I don't. Not really. I hate being alone. The truth is�..the truth is that I just like being with you."

Marz's free hand came up under Tristan's chin, lifting his head slightly so that their eyes met. Damn! He wanted to kiss the dragon so badly at that moment��.but there were too many raking people and centaurs milling around. "Don't you know by now that I want to be with you all the time too? That�s why it hurt so much when you more or less told me to get lost until I got rid of those fleas."

He held Tristan's eyes a moment longer then let his hand and gaze drop back down to the cat. "Well, I been debugged, so you don't have to worry anymore." A yawn escaped him then, and he rushed on to apologize for it. "Sorry. That flea bath really tired me out, but at least I smell great now, thanks to this lavender soap Jeremy gave me."

After setting the cheese off to the side for the cat, he stretched out his legs, leaned back against the tree and rubbed his right temple. "I guess I got up too fast earlier because my nose started to bleed and suddenly I had a major headache."

When he saw the concerned look that crossed Tristan's face he reached over to poke him in the ribs, hoping to draw a smile from him. "I'm sure I'll feel better once I get some java in me." Remembering that no one had put a pot on to brew yet, he sighed. "I'll be right back."

Slowly, he got to his feet and went to retrieve Kazabet's bag of supplies that he had haphazardly tossed aside earlier. Once he returned to the fire, he sat down and pulled a pot from the bag. He filled it with water from a flask then added some java grounds before setting it on the fire.

"I like the way you got the fire started, Saras," he said, giving the genie a wink. After another yawn, he went back to rubbing his head. "You got any more of those aspirin pills that Jeremy passed out the other day, Tris?" he asked, meeting the eyes of his lover once again.
