I could use a bit of advice myself, so it would seem. Initially, I had thought to also hide my identity. However, I realized that it would do me little good. With what I've to ask, I fear it might be a touch obvious.

Thus I ask: what would be a good gift to celebrate one year of being with your partner? How do I present it to him when we don't have a specific date? Officially, that is.

A silly thing to ask, I know. I suppose I would simply like for it to mean something and seeing Cassiopea only brings it to the forefront of my mind - to ensure that with the time we are granted that I express myself appropriately.

Is that not a prime reason to mate?

[afflatusexarch]

For some, perhaps.

Others ah... Pair up simply due to how they feel about one another.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Are you not concerned for the future generation?

[afflatusexarch]

I needn't reproduce to pave the way for future generations. Righting the wrongs of the current era and leaving it better for them to inherit is enough.

Those individuals will shine brightly, of that I have no doubt.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Your bloodline will end with you. {Unless the other man has siblings.}

A demon may take lovers, but the mate they choose must be strong and capable of procreation.

[afflatusexarch]

I am not concerned for "my bloodline." My tribe lives on, though I have not been one of them for quite some time. Whether they still maintain their ways or not, I could not say.

[ Not to mention, he wouldn't want to pass on the Allagan Eye anyway. So this suits him just fine. ]

Suffice to say, "procreation" isn't possible between my partner and I. Yet he is more than I can ask for and more.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I have met a few who made your choice.

Do not regret it. Recall your memories and search for gifts that encompass them.

[afflatusexarch]

What is there to regret?

As for what to do about my situation, I can only say that the difficulty lies in this man would be happy with anything I do.

[prince_of_the_moon]

So why worry?

If your company is enough, consider it a blessing.

[afflatusexarch]

[ Oh he... He hadn't thought... Well he hadn't thought of it like that. That it is a blessing to have a companion who will be content with him as he is, even in moments like these. ]

Perhaps that reminder is all I truly need. Thank you, for that.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Sesshomaru makes a soft, dismissive sound and types, equally dismissively:}

Find him.

[afflatusexarch]

Aye, that I will.

Thank you for putting it back into perspective.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Not all can be with their mate.

[afflatusexarch]

My apologizes. I hope, whatever your future may bring, that you are able to reuinite.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I do not have one. {But that seems to change in his future.}

[afflatusexarch]

Oh! I overstepped. The way you stated that I suppose I couldn't help but think...

[prince_of_the_moon]

You did not. I will have a mate in my future. It is inevitable.

[afflatusexarch]

Is that what you desire?

[prince_of_the_moon]

The line must carry on.

[afflatusexarch]

That is not what I had asked.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I am a pure demon. We are not often terribly emotional.

[afflatusexarch]

They are also apparently skilled at dodging questions.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I am giving you my answer. There might come a time I feel more. I suspect that is so or I would not have mated.

[afflatusexarch]

Ah! So you are aware of a possible future in which this has already occurred. Interesting.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I have met the daughter of my brother.
