Chapter 22

copyright comidacomida 2022

There was a certain sound following Kaiden to the room-- something almost imperceptible; it was the ambient noise of others sharing the large abode going about their business down the hallways and in different rooms but, as if turning off an untuned transmitter, all of the white noise disappeared with an audible 'click' as the door closed, leaving complete and total silence, save for the soft, personable rumbling of a Viddin purring. That sound was interrupted when Vetlyk spoke. "Kaiden."

The human about-faced to address his classmate; the gryphon was looming over him, so very close, with a gaze which made him feel like a baby zofra about to be eaten whole. Vetlyk's eyes glimmered with the dangerous intent of a ravenous predator, and the Human knew he was the target. His heart began to beat quickly, but only the smallest amount of it was from fear. Somehow managing to swallow a gleeful giggle, he said only "Vetlyk."

Vetlyk took a step closer, invading Kaiden's personal space in a big way. The Viddin's beak jutted out from his lowered head, so near that it pressed up against the Human's forehead. The gryphon maintained the single word dialogue. The word came out in English, but it was from somewhere deep down in Vetlyk's throat, reverberated softly from the staccato purr, yet further punctuated from a deeper growl which revealed a desire which had been so subdued in public, yet eager to run rampant in private. "Hello."

Once again Kaiden was forced to keep from making any embarrassing sounds, stiffing another giggle as he slowly, carefully, purposefully raised is arms and then, letting out a breath, surrendered himself to the feel of his classmate's neck feathers as they flowed through his fingers. "Hi."

Kaiden ran his hands through them, a faint shiver creeping its way up his spine and making goosebumps raise on his skin. He ultimately leaned back far enough that he could look Vetlyk in the eye, and slowly rotated the Viddin's beak down enough that he could kiss the end. He felt like he was getting better at the action, and the soft breath emerging from his companion accompanied by a body quiver reinforced that impression.

Vetlyk ultimately turned his head to the side, pressing it forward in an attempt to deepen the kiss, yet all it really succeeded in doing was forcing the Human off-balance, causing him to fall backwards. Gripping reflexively, Kaiden almost managed to catch himself by hanging from his classmate's neck feathers, but, in actuality, the majority of his weight was caught by the talon which ha curled around behind the small of his back. Much less successful at hiding a fresh giggle, Kaiden felt his face flush red as he quickly buried it under a good humored "Well... uh... I guess you just swept me off my feet."

Vetlyk broke eye contact, the nares on his beak reddening significantly as he cleared his throat. "Ah... my apologies... I... got carried away."

The Human smiled. "I'm okay with that."

Rather than help Kaiden to right himself, the Viddin instead tensed his hind legs, using the musculature of his four legged body to raise his front half off the ground and, as he did so, hefted Kaiden bodily into the air before sending him soaring the two meters that separated him from the bed. The Human landed safely, and composed himself in the time it took Vetlyk to cross the distance. As he watched his classmate, Kaiden saw that the Viddin walked with a wider stance, his gryphonhood hanging fully emerged from its sheath. Kaiden's heart rate picked up speed.

Once they were together again, Vetlyk rested one of his talons on the mattress beside where Kaiden sat, lowering his head until their foreheads pressed against one another. "Kaiden... Kur'im... I am glad for this time..."

Kaiden's attention, which had been almost entirely focused on what he knew was coming, was derailed by the tone in Vetlyk's voice. Something else was coming, and he couldn't help but urge the gryphon on. "....but....?"

Vetlyk released a steadying breath. "Kur'im... I know you have had and been had by our classmates. Many have called you better than their Jiyjah, and talk about how they cannot wait to couple with you again..."

The Human wasn't sure where the declaration was coming from, or where it was leading to. "Does... does that bother you?"

The Viddin remained still as a statue, forehead pressed against Kaiden's. Vetlyk was silent for many moments before he finally spoke. "I could not say. In some ways it does, as they do you a disservice for thinking so little of you but, at the same time, I realize that they do not feel about you in the ways I do and so, to that end, I am... relieved."

It was a strange realization for the young man, and, although he thought he had an inkling of what Vetlyk was saying, he coudln't be sure. "Relieved? How?"

Vetlyk's beak parted in a smile as he slowly drew back, pupils dilating as he focused in on Kaiden. "They seek something as simple and small as your physical body, Kur'im... it is a simple ask, and so basic a thing to want from you."

Kaiden was surprised. "And you don't?"

The Viddin chuckled warmly, going so far as to bonk his beak against Kaiden's head. "Hukt... were there a word in your language stronger than 'yes', I would use it... but your body is not all I seek. I am not looking for a Jiyjah, Kaiden'huu. I want more."

Kaiden was ready to respond, but Vetlyk's body loomed over him, pushing him back until he was laying on the mattress with only his legs dangling over the edge. The Viddin's bulk had settled between his legs with Vetlyk's chest pressing against his crotch, making their heads draw even. The Human eventually got a chance to ask for clarity. "More?"

Vetlyk's beak hovered closer. "I am greedy, Kur'im... although I will Huu'Stook, when it is my turn with you, I want everything."

The Viddin's attempt at a kiss was clumsy, but Kaiden was able to see what Vetlyk was attempting, and he provided as much help as he could. There was grace, care, and a degree of caution to it, but it was still clumsy, yet the Human loved it. Hands running from feathers to fur, Kaiden willingly enveloped himself in the gryphon's presence, finding himself more and more eager by the moment to give Vetlyk exactly what he desired: everything.

Despite the difficulties Viddin talons had with buttons, Vetlyk insisted that he undress Kaiden. The gryphon showed remarkable dedication to success and, ultimately, only needed help with Kaiden's zipper. Unlike the other Viddin who had been more than willing to tear into his clothes to get what they wanted, Vetlyk was careful with his garb, even going so far as to setting it aside before continuing but, once Kaiden lay bare before him, the gryphon's gaze looked hungrier still, as if undressing him had been an appetizer. "I adore every piece of you, Kur'im... there is no part of you I wish to escape my attention."

Vetlyk made good on his promise, exploring Kaiden's body with his beak and talons. Despite the capacity for damage his talons and beak had, the Viddin didn't do so much as draw blood, carefully exploring him with his 'weapons' which, somehow, felt so warm and inviting with the care in which they were used. The gryphon started at Kaiden's toes, working his way up the Human's body and the young man's erection was rock-hard by the time his companion had arrived at his knees-- it got only worse from there, and he was squirming by the time Vetlyk's beak brushed through his pubic hair.

Surprisingly, Vetlyk did not linger there for long, his tongue extending for only a moment to lick Kaiden's abdomen as he continued further up. Only then did he speak. "You have Xys, Takket? Retrieve it, please, before we continue... I have dreamed of being inside you for the longest time."

Kaiden couldn't remember the time he'd crawled across a bed so quickly, retrieving the small jar he'd received from its place in his nightstand; it was hard to believe he'd only put it there less than an hour prior. "Here... it's here."

Beak parted in a smile, Vetlyk climbed up onto the bed with his forelegs, lowering his head so he could preen Kaiden's hair. "Were I to not have talons, I would delight in applying it to you myself, but I do not want to cause you harm, My Heart... do so for me, please."

To hear the term of endearment in English was a surprise for Kaiden, but it left a tingling sensation in him so strong he could not do anything but comply. As he slathered two fingers with the mucous-y goo, he addressed his classmate. "I've... been waiting for this too, Vetlyk..."

The gryphon continued to preen his head as Kaiden reached his fingers down and gingerly slid them into himself. Xys was not the same as lube but, even though the friction was still there, it was quickly followed by a certain degree of 'give', as his body acclimated with surprising speed to the intrusion. While Kaiden worked the substance into himself, Vetlyk began to rub the side of his head against the top of the Human's. "My sire is important... I know you are aware of this, Kaiden'huu, but perhaps not to the extent that it is true."

The statement was offered in what Kaiden considered to be Vetlyk's 'bedroom voice', but it wasn't exactly what he would consider 'sexy talk'. Still, if his classmate brought it up, he figured it was probably of some importance. He tried to respond with a sense of humor. "Yeah... I figured, considering he helped us get this really nice place."

A low toned rumble emerged from Vetlyk's chest and the Viddin inched closer on the mattress, hind legs almost pressed against it from where they stood on the floor. "Mmm... I can smell you, Takket... I wish so strongly to be inside you."

Realizing that he had no trouble accommodating his fingers any longer, Kaiden recognized the distinctive tingle of the Xys working on his insides. Glancing benath his classmate's abdomen, he saw that Vetlyk was at full mast, and dripping profusely. Remembering what had transpired with Sogig and Sokkas, the Human took another go at the Xys, loading his fingers up with more before he reached under Vetlyk and began working it against the gryphon's shaft. The Viddin's response was immediate. Thrusting forward, Vetlyk let out a squawk, and immediately unloaded all across the bedding.

Even as his hips hunched, spraying his seed through Kaiden's fingers, Vetlyk spoke, voice tight from his body's actions. "I have not used a Jiyjah in days. I will be with you for hours, or until you tell me you can take no more." His heady voice recovered some and he returend to addressing Kaiden as a follow up to his earlier statement. "My father is important, Kaiden'huu, which means it is expected that I shall be as well."

Kaiden still didn't quite get the reason why Vetlyk was addressing the point at that moment, but he was more than willing to reassure the gryphon. Patting his ribs with his dry hand, the Human said "You already are important, Vetlyk-- to me."

The earlier rumble repeated, and Vetlyk's wings extended, and then lowered down to give the entire bed a hug. "Kaiden... Kur'im... what I mean to say is that my family will allow my dalliances, but I will be expected to find a mate, and to sire offspring."

Kaiden froze. Had Vetlyk just told him that they were just there to 'fool around'? Were they, in fact, just Kawkikikik? Friends with benefits? If so, why was the Viddin so intimate? So... tender? Was it some kind of trial run so Vetlyk could learn how to let down his guard? What had the Human missed? "I... I don't understand."

A vice-like grip of a talon encircled one of Kaiden's arms and pulled him out from beneath Vetlyk. The gryphon sat him on the mattress so that he could look him in the eye. "Kaiden Alexander Wilson... Classmate... Takket... Kur'im... we know now that Cetacacian can be used between Humans and Viddin... this means that you can bear chicks."

"I... what?"

Vetlyk leveled his gaze, speaking slowly and purposefully. "My family would not accept it if I took a mate who could not produce offspring, but that is a barrier no longer. I want you to be that mate. I want you to be my hen. I want you to bear my chicks."

Quickly backpedaling, Kaiden found himself on his back, scooting futher away from the gryphon, whose gaze had only continued to grow hungrier. "W-what? I... I'm... I'm not ready for children-- f-for hatchlings!"

The Human paused when Vetlyk laid down, resting his head against the young man's chest. "It does not need to be now, Kur'im... some day... when we are both ready. For now, what I know is that I want you as my mate-- chicks or no... and I very much desire to hear you say 'yes', that you will take me as yours."

Despite the great weight coming to rest on his body, Kaiden felt as though an equally great weight lifted from his shoulders. "I-- good... that's good."

Vetlyk gave him an appraising glance, emotion behind a follow up inquiry held behind a mask of disconnect. "You... do not want to bear my chicks?"

Kaiden quickly corrected himself. "No! I mean-- it's not that, Vetlyk. What I mean is that I'm just focused on the Unity Programme right now... I haven't really given a lot of thought as to what comes after."

Vetlyk nodded, and a crack of relief shone through his indifference. "Ah... I see... and... if I were to invite you to stay here... on Plateau Earth... with me?"

The Human paused when the gryphon's large shaft pressed through his fingers, sliding up against his thigh and poked at his rump. Kaiden's head swam at the significance, not only of their pending coupling, but what Vetlyk was proposing. "Yes? I mean... I don't know, Vetlyk. I know I'd like that but... this is all really sudden."

The Viddin paused, resting the underside of his beak against the top of Kaiden's head, using the motion to move his body further up the bed. "Am I moving too quickly, Kur'im? I... I apologize."

Kaiden craned his head back so he could kiss Vetlyk's feathered throat. "No. It's alright, Vetlyk, I just... need a little time to consider everything. I know I joke about how slow Viddin are when it comes to change, but sometimes Humans need to figure things out too... you know?"

Vetlyk snuggled down against Kaiden, causing the Human to strain against the weight on his body, but the Viddin drew back up to avoid crushing him. "I understand, Kaiden'huu. If you wish, I can dismount and give you space."

The Viddin went to pull back but Kaiden quickly grabbed fistfuls of chest-feathers, adding "Vetlyk... I need time to think about life after the Programme... but I haven't changed my mind about you being my Takket... THIS I want."

He felt a powerful shudder shake Vetlyk's entire body, and a warm blast of precum bathe his groin and thigh. The Viddin rubbed the top of his chest against Kaiden's forehead. "Ah, my little zfielt is so good to me."

With nothing more to be said, the Human reached down and guided his classmate's large erection to his opening. He carefully positioned it and then used his free hand to rub Vetlyk's sternum. "Go slow to start.... please?"

Vetlyk crooned above him. "As long as you need, Kur'im."

The Viddin was not exaggerating. The two spent the next several minutes squirming together as Vetlyk worked himself further and further inside; the Xys helped, but Kaiden's ability to apply it was limited to the length of his fingers, and the gryphon's shaft was far, far longer. In the end, the amount applied onto it by Kaiden had to be worked slowly further and further into the Human's opening in order for him to be able to accommodate his classmate. Even once Vetlyk had managed to stuff in the entirety of his member the fit was tight, and tense-- apparently Xys could do only so much.

Panting above him, Vetlyk's chest heaved, expanding and contracting with verve; a deep, almost ultrasonic rumble vibrated throughout him as well, leaving Kaiden to feel the sensations both atop and inside him. "I... I think you're in, Vetlyk."

The gryphon let out an audible huff before drawing in breath. "I... feel as though I am dreaming... and that I might awaken any moment. Having you around me, so tight that it nearly hurts, but in so wonderful a way... I desire you, Kaiden'huu. I want you. I need you... but I will not cause you harm. Tell me if you are in pain and I will stop. I promise."

Kaiden had to admit to himself that his heart was pounding in his chest; the discomfort of being properly mounted was one thing, but what would happen once Vetlyk truly got started? He didn't know, but the only thing that he knew for sure would hurt more was to not go through with it-- the ache in his own throbbing erection promised him that. "Just go slow, Vetlyk... I'm fine... honest."

The withdrawal was slow and purposeful; Vetlyk's penal spines didn't hurt his insides-- far from it. The achingly slow retreat raked his insides and Kaiden gasped as the barbs tickled his prostate. Immediately gripping hold of the gryphon, Kaiden cried out. Vetlyk stopped immediately. "Kaiden! Kur'im! Are you in pain?"

The sensation of Vetlyk's textured member sent sparks up his spine and down his arms and legs to his fingers and toes. He strengthened his grip on fur and feather, gasping. "No-- don't stop, Vetlyk... ooh my gooooooood!"

He began convulsing, body reacting of its own accord as he bore down, his insides tightening around the massive intruder, heightening the sensation despite his companion's halted motion. Vetlyk released a squawk at the motion and Kaiden's head swam when the gryphon's hips hunched forward-- it was all Kaiden's body required and, in that moment, he realized that he'd actually cum before Vetlyk. Member surrounded by the Viddin's abdominal fur, Kaiden began to unload himself, rising to such a height that, between the fur against his penis and the shaft buried inside him the over-stimulation very nearly caused him to pass out.

A moment later, a piercing screech joined his cry and his already-full body quickly gave up, surrendering copious amounts of Viddin seed that immediately began to overflow, spurting out between the tight seal created by their joined flesh. Vetlyk began to thrust in-and-out with less hesitance, and the sensations only served to drive Kaiden into even more of a frenzy; discomfort long forgotten, he focused only on the pistoning flesh working into him with just as much eagerness as he had when it came to being filled... and filled he was.

Kaiden completely lost track of time as he joined Vetlyk in the rut, surrendering himself completely to the moment, and to his lover. He was claimed by the Viddin, willingly, and he didn't bother counting the times that he received Vetlyk's seed, knowing only that no amount could ever be enough. The spirit was willing but, at some point, he realized that his body could take no more and, as he fell limp against the mattress, Vetlyk seemed to realize innately that the Human had reached his limit.

The Viddin patiently and benevolently concluded their rut, rolling over to his side and pulling Kaiden close. Vetlyk's member still remained within him, engorged and ready for more, though the gryphon seemed content to let it serve as yet another thing connecting them together, and a stopper for all that he'd given the Human. Vetlyk's next words were spoken in a soft trill, and Kaiden got a four-legged hug as they were spoken. "I am patient, Takket. We will proceed at your pace."

Half-asleep from the exertion, Kaiden had trouble deciphering the exact meaning. Snuggling back against his lover, the Human asked "You mean... for round-'whatever' of mating... or the other thing?"

Vetlyk chuckled softly, folding his body around Kaiden. Although he was far larger than the Human, the Viddin was flexible enough to be able to still manage to preen the side of Kaiden's head. "One... or both, silly zfielt. I would never force you to perform for me and, if you want time to consider what will come after the Programme then you can take as much time as you need... more or less."

The lack of unconditional acceptance was enough to break through Kaiden's fatigue, but not enough to make him worry too much. Raising a hand to rub the side of Vetlyk's face, he asked his question. "What do you mean, 'more or less'?"

Letting out a contented sigh, Vetlyk followed it up with a yawn, and he pressed his head into Kaiden's hand. "Father requests my presence back at the aerie during the next break in classes."

The Human wasn't exactly sure why that was an issue. "Okay, but what does that have to do with--?"

Vetlyk answered the question before Kaiden managed to speak it to its conclusion. "I have told him of you, and he wishes to meet you. I will, with your permission, tell him that I mean for you to be my mate. If that is the case, he will exercise his right to judge you to determine whether or not he approves."

Kaiden let out a wary chuckle and, after a moment, realized that Vetlyk wasn't joking. Even so, he found it hard to be too stressed; with the enormous Viddin surrounding him, it felt hard to be afraid... but he was concerned. "So... the whole 'take as much time as you need' thing isn't really limitless, huh?"

Vetylk's response, which was a good humored chuckle went a long way toward bringing him further comfort. Snuggling Kaiden with his whole body, the Viddin said only "It is not I who requires the answer, Kur'im... if you will join me in my home it will be my FATHER to whom you must provide the answer."

The sudden shift of what he'd perceived as his forward trajectory left Kaiden with no option but to laugh. When he managed to formulate a coherent thought he spoke it aloud. "I guess that'll cause some problems for the HuuStook then."

Vetlyk scoffed, giving the human a gentle squeeze. "It would not, Kaiden'hu... not so long as we continue to share you equally."

That raised so many more questions. "So... does that mean I'll be expected to bear everyone's chicks then?"

Vetlyk's tone turned surprisingly light-- almost playful. "I suppose if that is something you would really want to do..."

Kaiden gave him an elbow to his sternum. "I was being serious."

Vetlyk cleared his throat, gently rubbing Kaiden's chest with a talon. The humor left his tone, replaced with calming support. "As was I, in a fashion, Kur'im. If you wished to bear many chicks that would be up to you, although I would wager that most of the study group does not want you for that, so it should not be a concern."

Kaiden had never really heard Vetlyk put so many words together when it came to the rest of the classmates getting time with Kaiden. The Human was surprised. "Really? You sure?"

The Viddin beak-clacked affirmatively. "I am... it is my belief that you are a diversion for some-- not that they are unkind or uncaring about it, but, other than having a passing fancy for your novelty, their adoration is neither as wide nor as deep as my own." Vetlyk paused. "Still.. I believe that there is at least one other... if not two."

That admission was enough to catch and hold Kaiden's attention. "Really? Who?"

Vetlyk let out a huff. "I am not one to spread rumors, Kaiden'huu... it would be my preference that you near it from the beaks of those who have an opinion rather than requesting me to speak on their behalf."

Kaiden had a hard time objecting to that reasonable request and he ended up nodding. His insides tickled and, he realized, that Vetlyk still hadn't lost any firmness to his member. Although the Human felt already bloated by what was probably at least a dozen Viddin orgasms, there was something about being so close to his lover, talking about chicks that gave him a surprising amount of stamina. Sliding down out of Vetlyk's talons, he pressed his body further against the gryphon's, lowering himself down until he was lodged between his classmate's hind legs, withdrawn sheath 'kissing' his opening-- it was enjoyably easy at that point.

In response to the action, Vetlyk let out a rumbling growl, followed by a soft squawk in inquiry. "Kaiden... would you like me to--?"

It was Kaiden's turn to finally interrupt Vetlyk. "Just stay still."

The gryphon gave no objection as the Human began to slowly rock his hips, pressing more firmly into the Viddin's groin before drawing back just enough to repeat it. Before long, his enormous lover was squirming but, to Vetlyk's credit, the Viddin did not thrust once. The sensations within him were no less intense, but the lower key movements and the control afforded to him meant that Kaiden was able to process them much more effectively... enough so that he was even able to ask "So... your dad needs to approve of me?"

Vetlyk grunted, wings quivering as the member within Kaiden flexed, and began pulsing rhythmically. The Viddin rode another orgasm, voice tight as he spoke. "I don't need him to... I would accept you even if he does not..."

Kaiden didn't slow his ministrations, realizing that Vetlyk's member was still eager for more. "It sounds like you're about to add a 'but'..."

Vetlyk's lidded eyes blinked several times and he slowly rolled onto his back, carrying Kaiden with him. Hind legs splayed, he looked up at the Human straddling him, and gently rested his talons on the Human's thighs. "By rights, I should have sired offspring last year, but I am in the program, and that took precedence. My father is pushing the issue for me to pick a mate, and you are the only one I want. I do not have to have offspring immediately, but I must select a mate."

Kaiden felt his own heart rate begin to pick up again as his exhausted body still somehow managed to respond to the feeling of the Viddin's member lodged deep within him. "A-and... how long until I'd be expected to... bear your young?"

Vetlyk curled his body, raising his front half off of the mattress as he curled in on himself so he could look Kaiden in the eye, beak-to-nose. "Not until you are ready. I promise this to you, Kur'im. My father will be made to understand-- you are to be my mate, and we will control our own future."

The Viddin couldn't remain curled at that angle forever and, when he relented, the top half of his body fell back to the mattress, causing his hind-quarters to bounce up, burying his shaft deeper still-- it was as if Kaiden's body needed to be forced into one final ejaculation for the night but, at that point he was so spent it barely leaked out of him; Vetlyk, on the other hand, roared out yet another, spraying the Human's insides with nearly the same volume and pressure as when they'd first started. It had been a long night, but a very good one, and Kaiden didn't even bother getting cleaned up, drifting off to sleep surrounded by one very content Viddin. He made Vetlyk even happier when, as he finally surrendered to his dreams, he murmured "Yes, Vetlyk... I'd love to be your mate."

* * * * *

Kaiden dreamed of bearing Vetlyk's chicks. Although he didn't know the reality of what to expect, the dreams, as they fluttered about his waking mind, faded off with the impression that it made him happy. He awoke with a smile on his face, still surrounded by Vetylk's huge body. The gryphon's member had long-since withdrawn, leaving them both separate, but they were no less close.

He found himself reclining against Vetlyk's ribs, the gryphon curled up around him, allowing the human to both sit and lay down at the same time. Kaiden was, in fact, facing the wall, which included a long bank of windows which hadn't had their shades drawn. It was just starting to get light outside. Vetlyk rumbled behind and beneath him. "It is a beautiful morning, Kaiden'im."

The transition from 'huu to 'im didn't escape the Human's notice, but he felt no need to call attention to it. "How can you tell how the morning is? We're on the wrong side of the building to see the dawn."

Vetlyk chuckled, curling tighter so he could preen Kaiden's head. "It is a good morning because I am sharing it with you, Kur'im."

Not one to let it stay so undefined, Kaiden encouraged Vetlyk to get out of bed. The two shared a shower together, much to their mutual satisfaction, and Vetlyk allowed Kaiden to towel dry him before getting dressed. After that, they retired to the balcony so they could, at Kaiden's insistence, get a better view of the dawn. Vetlyk chided him just a little. "I am surprised at how obsessed Humans are with mornings here on Plateau Earth."

Gazing out across the horizon at the picture perfect dawn consisting of dozens of shades of warm colors, Kaiden let out a contented sigh. "It's just so different here... your atmosphere is thicker than back on Land Earth, and the Viddin haven't ruined it over a several hundred years with pollution. It's... it's an amazing experience."

Vetlyk chuckled; even standing on four legs beside Kaiden he was still large enough to easily rest his beak on the Human's head. "You are an amazing experience yourself, Kur'im."

Kaiden was sure that his cheeks had probably turned the color of the sky. He turned so he could embrace his lover. "You know... if I DO end up staying here with you on Plateau Earth, you're not the only thing I'll enjoy. I know I'll never get tired of waking up and seeing the dawn."

Vetlyk rumbled softly, pulling away so he could gaze down at the Human. Despite the hundreds of times Kaiden could recall seeing an impassive, neutral, impersonal mask on the Viddin, he much preferred the glow of adoration that gazed back at him in that moment. "I know that I shall never get tired of waking up and seeing YOU."
