Mission: By Dawn's Early Light
Location: Akiashiro Deck
Timeline: TBD

S'er'in'e had spent most of his free time packing up his quarters and moving his effects to Samanthia's. The only thing left was the bed, the interesting thing was S'er'in'e's bed was larger than Samanthia's for obvious reasons, it made him wonder if she wanted to swap for his larger one. He'd wait of course till she returned and the Quartermaster was happy to hold onto it until a decision was made on it. In the mean time he made sure that the place was tidy, his things still in containers neatly in one corner of the room out of the way and covered by one of his hangings to mask the metal container squares from eye sight.

He waited to unpack because he wanted to see where his Mate would decide things should go, this was afterall her home before his and so would defer to her choices.

Samanthia came flying into her apartment, her mind focused on other things. Next second she was tumbling over a crate, that she wasn't expecting. "Aaaack!" Her travel kit went flying to land amongst a stack of crates covered by a tapestry. "What the ..." Gethering her wits about her, seeing S'er'in'e's stuff as she stood up. She looked around the Apartment. "Increase lighting!" To see better.

S'er'in'e had forgotten about the lighting, felines had a better sense of sight and found comfort in reduced lighting, Humans however were not so gifted. "I am sorry, I did not expect you so soon, I was just moving my things to the corner out of the way." He picked up some of what was spilt from her kit. "Are you alright my Mate?"

Samanthia nodded, "Just my ego." She moved to another door next to the main bedroom. "You can put your stuff in there for now as you get settled. You have a bigger bed? I noticed that your feet paws over hang mine. That's gotta be uncomfortable." She moved to him and gave him a hug, murmuring, "My big kitty,"

"I do, I was not sure what to do with it until you returned, my bed would take up more floor space in our sleeping area and I was not sure how you would feel about that." S'er'in'e replied as he held her. "I hope your trip to the planet was not too troubling for you." He gently let her go and looked down at her with a warm smile, he had missed her and her scent. "After you left I had the Honoured One..." He altered his answer quickly. "First Wife visit me, a rather cryptic female that one."

"I'll adapt with less floor space," Samanthia fell quiet for a bit. "Tamarue? She's a wiley one and don't let her act of being old fool you. She's a decade older than me and still prowls around." She stepped from his embrace. "Need help in getting settled in?" She moved to retrieve her travel kit and held it open for him dump in what he had gathered up. What he held was a Student Visa that had on it in bright red letters, "Canceled".

"Indeed, first she threatened me to behave in a manner of speaking them asked if I would stray from you." He placed her things in the kit, he didn't mention the Visa though she knew he saw it. He felt that considering it was an important aspect of her life even before him showed up that she would talk about it when she was ready. "I informed her that once mated Males of my kind do not engage themselves in such a manner. Also I may have let my anger get the better of me when she threatened me."

"Don't worry about it. She needs to be told once in a while there are things off limits. I got the same riot speech from her. She's protecting her Domain and status within the Akiashiros." She moved into the bedroom to unpack her travel kit, since she whont be needing it for awhile. "How big of a bed are talking about?" She spoke louder so her voice could carry to S'er'in'e.

"Large enough to support my weight and accommodate my height." Which to anyone to look at him would mean a very large bed. "If you would like to see it first before you decide I do not mind?"

"I just need the measurements so I can plan out the placement of it. Is it a single or double sized bed?" Samanthia leaned against the doorway that separated main room from the master bedroom.

S'er'in'e called up the dimensions of the bed Ensign Steiner had manufactured for him, it was some what large and he wondered if perhaps it was too big. "Here you are." He offered the information to her, it was clearly very much larger than hers.

She took the information and went back into the room, looking over the room and measurements. "Oh this aint gonna work, unless some of the chairs are removed." She looked thoughtful at the wall separated the extra bedroom from the master bedroom.

She shoved her vanity table over into a corner, and then moved the chair over into another unused corner. Then looked at the measurements again. "Ta-da! This will work after all. Just remove this bed and place your bed here. this way. Head of the bed against the this wall." Turning to look at S'er'in'e. "Whot you think?"

"As long as you are happy, I am." He replied. this was her room after all, he was simply invited to sleep here by her desire. "I shall contact some people to have the bed moved here." It would mean he'd have to inform security but that shouldn't pose a problem. "Can I prepare you something to eat?"

Samanthia looked at him, being quiet for several minutes. "Sure." Giving him a smile. "I'll freshen up a bit."

To the Kitchen and S'er'in'e prepared a light meal, he was not sure how hungry she was and his cooking could comfortably feed more than just the two of them so the option to have more should she remain hungry was present if she wished it. This time his creative talent took him to leaf wraps of various meats, spices, flavours and quantity sealed closed by a syrup liquid. Naturally his own were well packed with meat in light of his own requirements but he did make some smaller ones and some slightly larger should she wish to tackle them. Armed with two plates, his tail carrying cutlery for her should she wish it and two napkins draped over his right arm he called out. "Dinner is ready my Mate."

While S'e'in'e was in the kitchen making the meal, Samanthia showered and freshened up. Wearing her fluffy robe again and brushing out her drying hair, she caught herself humming softly. She was content as she listened to S'er'in'e in the main part of the Apartment. Looking at herself in the mirror as she brushed out her hair, lost in thought about having future children with her busy life style. Hearing that dinner was ready, she set her hairbrush on her vanity table and moved into the other room. "Smells wonderful," Taking her plate with the smaller portion on it. She moved and sat on the couch and curled up to eat.

Once settled, helped herself to a napkin and the cutlery from his tail gently. She began to eat, savoring the meal he fixed for her. "This is sure to put a crimp in my education. Everything a mess and Archa is kicking everyone off the planet that have a residency elsewhere other than the planet. I'm going have to find away to continue my education or cancel them without losing my grades for what I've done so far." She resumed eating as she paid attention to S'er'in'e.

"Is there any measure or way that you can undergo distance learning or perhaps enrol in a Federation program that is run here on the station?" S'er'in'e sat down and started eating himself after coiling his tail about his waist to avoid discomfort. She seemed to be enjoying what he created even if they were somewhat large portions by comparison. He did try to make hers smaller.

Samanthia laid the rest of the meal, she couldn't eat due to she was full, off to her side. "I've already looked into it. And by the time I get started, the class is already over with. Correspondence courses are not useful. They may contain good course study. But none of the interaction with the Professor or other students. Good for a refresher, yet not for starting out in the field."

S'er'in'e nodded understandingly. "Was the meal satisfactory?" Noticing she'd not eaten it all, first impression that perhaps it was simply too much in quantity, but maybe the flavours were overpowering. "I can make you something else should you wish?"

"I'm full," Samanthia spoke with a smile, "Meal was excellent. Maybe over spiced a bit." She stood up, taking the unfinished meal with her to the kitchen, "This will give me a few days worth of meals." Where she wrapped it up and placed it within the refrigerator. "I just hope Selene and her family are doing okay."

"I have a meeting with Captain Von soon to discuss my resignation from Starfleet." While he was not nervous about the meeting still it would be the closure of a major part of his life. "At least I will then understand what my future will entail." He rose and put his empty plate to be recycled. "Did M'roaa speak to you about the things you can do as my Mate to me?"

Samanthia looked at S'er'in'e, "I could use you as a rug if I wanted to, My big kitten." She smiled at him. She moved to him and hugged him, "But I'd rather not. I've better uses for you." She looked up at him as she held him. "I just want to see you happy and content. Not some servant at my beck and call. Keeping me fed as I've been doing that for myself for years. Make yourself at home here. Hang up your tapestries, throw your boots on a chair or two. Just make sure the boots are clean before you do so. Give me a hug when you feel like it. I'm not as delicate you Caitians believe us humans are." Her voice softens, "I'm your's, just as much as you're mine." She stepped back and let the robe fall from her shoulders to the floor to pool at her feet. Letting him see her in her human feminine naked form.

S'er'in'e grinned accompanied by a low growl as he looked her over. "Indeed you are." He scooped her up into his arms, her weight light and comfortable within them. He walked towards the Bedroom while drawing in her scent deeply through his nose as it was nestled to her neck....
