When Rajj arrives with Ferdinand and two Erianes who help them to bring the dishes, everyone comes forward to taste the famous “farcis.” And by all the Winds, it is tasty. It is also strange. After all, according to our habits, it is a preparation that we would rather make in the morning, because it is salty. In the evening, the last meal is lighter and composed of raw and cooked fruits. It is nevertheless with satisfaction that my taste buds discover these new flavors.
As soon as the meal finished, I do not delay and I drag my companion with haste toward our house. It is that to look at his mark which exceeds her tunic, gives me a furious desire to rest my mouth there.

My second night at the Western Bastion was as fabulous as the first. Nixx is caring, tender, and ardent. A little bossy too. And rather insatiable. But who would complain? Tonight, it was the warm, husky voice of David Coverdale, the singer of Whitesnake, that sang in my head at times.
My heart is burning
An' the fire is hot,
My temperature is rising, rising, rising
I'm ready to rock
All or nothing
I'm gonna make you see,
I've made up my mind, for sure, this time
You're gonna spend the night with me.
No doubt I'll have to play this for my dark angel. I haven't had time to play him my music yet. I hope these modern sounds won't throw him off too much. But no doubt once translated, the lyrics of the many Whitesnake songs will echo his thoughts.
It's weird, but despite the circumstances, I feel safe with Nixx. And I must admit that I am particularly confident about the future. That meeting yesterday, where he tried to integrate my comrades as well as possible, giving them a chance at first to do what they would like to do best, gave me a glimpse of the leader he is. A strong, but fair leader. He seems to be very appreciated among his people.
This morning I have an appointment with Holly and Eva. We're going to look at the plants she uses and scan them to determine their composition. Then we'll see if the uses are very different from ours. Also, I know Eva has already scanned an adult Erian, but we would like to do it on different age groups. All the differences will be classified and can be used later for a better diagnosis. I can't wait.
This project promises to be colossal, but also interesting. During our visits to different worlds, we have never lived in immersion. What a richness it will be!
“What's going on this morning? You're all wiggly and your eyes are sparkling with mischief. You look like a baby babakotia.”
My dark angel is finishing drying off after his morning shower and his eyes are mocking.
Wahoo girl, check it out! All those muscles . . . that dreamy body . . . and it's you he spends his nights with . . . and his molten golden eyes, damn! Ah yes, shut your mouth and answer the question.
“I'm anxious to go meet Holly and Eva to begin our research.”
“Ah! I was hoping I had a little something to do with it. We'll go to the first meal. And after, I'll go to training with your friends while you start your ‘research.’”
He rocks me in his arms and takes us to join everyone for the first meal. Rajj took the initiative to make pizzas again. Well, this story of reversing the breakfast and the dinner, we are going to get used to it, but it is true that the pizza with hot pepper in the morning, it’s not one for the human team.
Nixx comes then to offer me a chaste kiss on the forehead, before dragging in his wake, Marc and David that I guess a little tense, facing this evaluation from which they will try to get out of it. I know that they excel in their discipline and master each one, of several martial arts, but the Erians are indeed globally taller by almost ten to twenty centimeters and much more muscular. And if we take into consideration the weight of their heavy wings, all this could very quickly turn against them. But I trust them to find a way out, they are cunning. And I trust my beautiful angel, who also wants to help them find their place.
As they make their way to the practice field, Holly, who has finished her first meal, joins Eva and me.
