She smiled and as it had become a smile just for him. Of course Faye couldn’t see her own expression, but she could feel that warmth in her body that seeing him smile induced in her and it was one she hoped would never fully leave. “Well, I love it,” she said softly and tugged on his hand as she stepped on through the doorway to the next and final room.

In the dark of the farthest space in the mushroom, the light suffused the place came entirely from the bioluminescent fungi he had picked out just for her. Pulling him in for a kiss, Faye whispered,” You are my light,” before her lips touched his.

He kissed her back and then pulled back and smiled. “So… what else do you want to show me? I’m game for anything.” he said. He just held her and looked at her, his green eyes sparkling in the low light.

Reaching a hand up, her fingertips caressed his iridescent skin. “Well, we could spend hours in the garden but that’s not necessarily everyone’s idea of a day worth of fun,” she joked. “I still want to show you my garden bed, but we’ll go past it on our way out.”

He took her hand and let her lead him away from the mushroom house and through the garden.

Pondering, Faye chewed on the inside of her cheek for a moment. “How are you with animals? Specifically, cats?” she asked, giving him a lopsided smirk. Tess had arrived a few days ago so she hadn’t been able to show her to him and a part of her wanted to quickly check on the creature to let her know she was okay, even if her mother would be checking in on the cat regular basis while Faye was away.

“Cats?” Dag asked and thought for a minute. “I don’t think Ive ever been around one outside of the - … well… they used animals sometimes on Orion. But I’ve never had any or known anyone who did. So I dunno. Why?”

“Because of Tess. I’ll explain in a moment, but come look. “As they found their way to the crew’s raised bed section on this side of the garden, Faye steered them to the outside corner one that was hers. there was a large black metal openwork obelisk in the middle with a rounded finial on the top. A vine was snaking it way up, perfuming the area with a hint of a sweet smell coming from downturned frilly flowers in a deep purple. Around the edge of the full sized bed there were flowers mixed throughout and hanging over the edges, with all sort of vegetables growing throughout. Hot peppers that were just starting to flower, bush tomatoes, some sort of large root vegetable peeking out of the ground with a frilly green top, plus a bunch of other things less identifiable that were just getting growing. It was a work in progress, but it gave her so much joy. She crouched at the bed and beamed at him. “I have a t-shirt that I garden in that says: I garden so I don’t choke people. Save a life, send mulch,” she said with a chuckle. “It’s very true.”

“Well, your… uh… boyfriend?… whatever… is in Logistics. You need mulch, just say the word and baby? I’ll send you mulch.” and he laughed

Faye inhaled audibly. “So Tess is my therapy animal. She’s a cat- half Terran, half Betazoid breeds- and is empathic. She’s only six months old so not full grown yet, but she’s already been through some training. She’s taught to recognize distress and she’s getting to know my moods. The hope is that if I dissociate, she can pull me back and if it was really bad, she can summon help. We’ve got a panic button system set up.” She grinned at Daggum. “She’s very smart. And she is getting to know those in my life so she can connect my emotions with those around me. And you are so important to me that while you’re here I want her to sense you so when she sees you on my screen she can make that association. Besides, I forgot something in my quarters I need to grab, so I might as well check on her anyway.”

Daggum looked at her and just said “I think that’s a great idea. And I’d love to meet her.” and he offered her his arm and said “Shall we?” with a grin.
