This trip to his clan was obviously the best thing for Bramen. Dorian could see it in the happiness that practically radiated from his lover, brighter than the mark on his hand. It was the most beautiful sight Dorian had ever seen.

"They've surprisingly lovely creatures," Dorian said as Bramen approached him. "Your people seem happy with me as well, at least, enough to allow me here with these creatures."

Ah, so they were allowed to kiss. Dorian sighed with relief as he returned the kiss. "I'd still like to see it with you if you're done with your Keeper and can show me more."

He would feel more confident with Bramen at his side as well. His lover would keep him from making some horrible social faux pas.
