It had been a long time since Anders had seen Tamora so happy. She seemed to be fine with the way things happened between he and Fenris, like they had worked it out.

Tamora hummed to herself happily, everyday, without a care in the world. She visited Fenris at his mansion with any free time that she had between the clinic and the orphange.

One day while they were cleaning up the clinic after a rush of patients, Anders looked up at Tamora as she smiled softly to herself and busied herself with replacing the sheets on the cots.

"You've been awfully chipper lately, Tamora." Anders commented, washing his hands in the stone basin.

"I'm just in a good mood lately." Tamora said smiling at him.

"So, what happened with you and Fenris? You were more angry than I have ever seen you before and now you two seem fine."

Tamora turned away to hide her blush. "We discussed things, apologies were exchanged, and he is letting me help him get used to being around mages who aren't bad people."

"Oh?"

Tamora looked at him and smiled. "He started to remember things that night and he's letting me help him remember more and more. Our healing sessions have been helping the last few weeks. I don't know how much he's been able to remember, but he is doing well."

Anders looked at her in surprise. "Really? That's good, I suppose. Perhaps you can change his mind about mages."

Tamora smiled and grabbed her bag. "Well, I have agreed to not call you 'master' anymore, so as to not set off Fenris again. I have decided to call you 'lethallin', an endearing term for those we elves see as family. Will that be alright?"

Anders smiled and nodded. "Actually, that would be great. I don't fancy having a ghost hand thrust into my chest again."

"Alright, then lethallin, I am going to check up on the children at the orphange then Fenris and I have another session afterwards." Tamora said, then reached into her pocket and handed Anders a dark pink stone. "Here. This is an elven communication stone, something my parents left to me. I have the other with me. If you need me, just speak into the stone and I'll get the message on my stone. Keep that with you, alright?"

Anders looked the stone over and nodded. "Of course, my dear. Just be careful?"

Tamora nodded and smiled as she waved and made her way up to Hightown.

It had been a few weeks since his "sessions" with Tamora had begun, and Fenris had really begun to look forward to it. It wasn't just the fact that their healing sessions consisted of them having sex and her using her magik to stabilize his mind and allow him to sift through the memories he was recovering. It was the fact that she had become a really close friend of his and he had really begun to care for her. She wasn't just a mage, or just a healer, but she was an incredibly sweet woman who always looked after everyone else and never worried about herself. Any time he saw her now, his heart raced, his breath quickened. She was so beautiful to him, so innocent, and she did everything she could to help him remember his past. When the knock came at his door and he looked up to see Tamora standing in the doorway of his bedroom, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hello, Fenris." she said, blushing.

"Hello, Tamora." he replied, standing.

"I brought some of the rare herbs I got at Sundermount a few weeks ago. I thought I could make them into an herbal tea for us later." she said, setting her bag down.

Fenris took her hand and pulled her in close to him. "Whatever you would like to do." he said, leaning down to kiss her.

Tamora returned his kiss, her hands moving to his chest. It had been a customary thing for them to do, but it had begun to start to feel like more.

Fenris stepped back and started to pull off his tunic and undid his pants, letting them fall to the floor as Tamora slipped out of her dress and stood in nothing but her underclothes. He reached out and touched her pale skin, feeling how soft it was. Tamora looked up at him and traced his markings, lightly touching them with her finger tips. Fenris shuddered at her touch, a bit of electricity running between them. He pulled her towards the bed and laid her down gently, positioning himself between her legs as he kissed her. He rubbed her arms, her sides and her legs, kissing her lips, her cheeks, her jaw, her neck and shoulders. Tamora moaned, feeling the now familiar touch of his lips and hands running over her body.

Fenris looked up at her and she nodded, the silent question and its answer clear between them. Tamora watched the mixture of dark pink, light purple, and violet swirling around them both and she gasped as Fenris slid his cock into her pussy. It no longer hurt for him to enter her, but instead became something incredibly pleasurable.

Fenris rocked his hips back and forth, encouraged with each moan that escaped Tamora's lips. He held himself close to her, their bodies pressed together. Each time they had sex, they lasted longer and longer, and this time a few hours had gone by. When the last hour came towards a close, Fenris reached his climax and the memories began flooding in. Tamora reached her climax as well and held Fenris close as she felt the familiar rush of his seed. Fenris pulled out of her and fell onto his back, feeling the pain of the memories as they hit him hard. Tamora put a hand to his chest and pressed her forehead to his, releasing her magik into him. She pressed firmly down on him, willing him to calm his mind and steady his heart as the memories sunk in.

It took awhile this time, but Tamora was finally able to get him to calm down and she lay back.

"Thank you..." Fenris said, looking over at her.

Tamora galnced at him and smiled. "You're welcome. Did you remember something new this time?"

Fenris nodded. "There was a woman and a young girl with bright red hair. I felt like I knew them, but then it slipped away."

Tamora rolled onto her side and touched his shoulder. "Are the memories staying with you this time? Or do they keep slipping away?"

He propped himself up on his elbow and put a hand to his head. "They slip away for a moment, but so far they remain. I have you to thank for that."

Tamora smiled. "I'm glad." She stood and got dressed, grabbing her small pouch of the rare herbs from the Dalish. "I'm going to the kitchens to make us some tea. I'll be right back." she said, giving Fenris a small smile.

Fenris sat up and got dressed again himself, leaving the bedroom and going to the study.

It didn't take Tamora long to make the tea and she came to the study, somehow knowing he'd be there, with a tea laden with tea, cream, sugar, and some cookies she had brought him a few days ago. "I hope you like the tea. The Keeper said it would help to restore and maintain memory, as well as treat headaches."

Fenris took the cup she offered him and sat across from her as she set the tray on the table between them. Taking a sip, he tasted the subtle sweetness of the herbs. "It's delicious. Thank you, Tamora, for everything."

Tamora smiled and added some cream and three sugars to her tea. She stirred her tea with a small spoon and set aside, taking a sip and smiling contently. "It is good."

"I have a proposition for you, if you are willing to listen." Fenris said, setting his tea down for a moment.

"You have my attention, as always, Fenris." Tamora replied, looking at him over her cup as she took another sip.

"I would like you to join me, here... In this mansion..." Fenris said, blushing a little. 'Why can't I just ask straight forward to move in here with me?' he thought to himself.

"You mean move in with you?" Tamora asked, setting her cup down.

"I'd like you to stay here with me while we continue our... sessions... so that we can keep them as regular as possible." Fenris said, cursing at himself for avoiding asking her outright.

"I can do thatm, if that's what you want." Tamora said. "It'd certainly help me keep a better eye on your progress."

"Can I take that as a yes?" Fenris asked, a little bit of hope in his voice.

Tamora giggled. "Yes. I'll move in with you." She stood and went to his side, leaning down to kiss his forehead. "Although, there will need to be some changes around here. We'll need to tidy the place up."

Fenris watched her go out onto the balcony that overlooked the main part of the mansion. He stood and went to join her, looking at the ruined debris scattered around the floor. "You know that if you agree to stay with me, you are at risk of Danarius coming after you as well." Fenris said, a note of worry in his voice as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"I know." Tamora said, then turned to look up at him. "I want to be here for you, to fight for you or heal you when you need it. Danarius himself does not frighten me, but it is the thought of losing you that does. You've become more than my best friend, Fenris. I can't bear to lose you."

Fenris held her tight in his arms, pulling her close to him, and kissed the top of her head. "I won't let that happen. I swear it."

Tamora smiled into his tunic, feeling the warmth of his body against hers in the chilled air of the foryer. "Come on, let's go finish our tea and we can talk more about this later."
