Maiz held perfectly still upon waking- some people woke groggy and often forgot where they were, who was with them. Maiz woke knowing exactly where she was, who was with her, and what they had done the night before. Until she could figure out exactly how she felt about it, she wanted to be careful not to wake the bronzerider. Perhaps on some subconscious level, T'nac could sense that the rhythmic breathing of the woman beside him had changed. Though his mind was not yet awake, he rolled over to towards her, reaching out to pull her close once more.

The greenrider fought not to stiffen. **Shards! This shouldn't be so hard for me!** she thought to herself.
T'nac was nice, he was a considerate lover- basically everything she had wanted. It was the casual part of it that she had a problem with. Maiz simply wasn't in the frame of mind of casual sex. Then again, was trying to get pregnant really "casual"?

The bronzerider's mind was slowly beginning to come into consciousness and he mumbled something intelligable about mornings and furs but then started to drift back to sleep. He wasn't quite sure he wanted to be awake yet. The bed was way too comfortable.

Ever so slowly, Maiz moved to lay a hand on her stomach. She smiled, remembering how it had felt to know she had a life growing inside her. She knew that if she really wanted that again, really wanted this plan to work, that a one night-stand probably wasn't going to be enough.
**So get used to it,** she firmly told herself. It wasn't as if she were some scared little virgin. She relaxed, and snuggled back into the warmth of T'nac's body. The movement pulled the bronzerider's mind awake with a sigh. "Good morning," he muttered as he wrapped his arm around her tighter. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, best I've slept in weeks," Maiz admitted. She had gotten so used to sleeping with someone beside her for so long... sleeping alone was difficult. "How'd you sleep?"

"Deeply," he said with a sleepy smug grin. "I guess I was a bit worn out."

"Not used to staying up half the night?" she teased. He chuckled quietly and leaned down to kiss her bare shoulder. "Not really. You were very good at convincing me it was a good idea. I'm glad I listened."

"Me too," Maiz assured him. "And I hope you don't think I do this often... I don't take every guy I see to bed. I... I guess, I'm a relationship sort of girl, more than a one-night-stand girl."

He ran his fingers along her arm thoughtfully. "Me too really. I don't... I was Hold bred, you know. I only sleep with people that... Well, that I really like a lot. And just from talking to you last night, I think you're the type I could really like."

She reached up to clasp her hand around his. "I'm glad you don't hate me for going so... fast. I'd be really upset if it destroyed any chance of a relationship between us."

"No, no," he said reassuringly. "I like you very much."

Maiz smiled, and snuggled a little bit closer. "Should we go get breakfast? If you don't want to though, we could stay in bed a bit longer."

"If you're hungry I can go get us something. But I think I'm fine just laying here," he said with a satisfied smile.

"I'd really rather wait for breakfast. I'd prefer to stay in bed. But, just laying here..." she said it a bit more quietly than the rest, and a bit shyly, but there was a definite invitation in her voice.

"Hmmm... Do you have a better idea?" he asked with a shy grin.

"Maybe..." Maiz was trying for coy, hoping she didn't simply come across uncertain.

T'nac took the shy invitation and kissed her softly, more than willing to share a few ideas of his own.

A candlemark or so later, Maiz moved far enough from T'nac to stretch. "I'm starving!" she pronounced. "Me too," he murmured lazily. "I can go get us something."

A smile lite her face, "Breakfast in bed would be fun!
I've never actually had breakfast in bed."

"All right then, that settles it," he grinned as he slipped out from the bedfurs. "I'll just find some clothes and run and get us something. Anything in particular you want?"

"Klah definitely, and maybe some sweet buns?" Maiz requested. T'nac slipped on his tunic first to hide his Threadscars out of habit before he pulled up his trousers. "Klah, sweet buns, and maybe a red fruit or two? Does that sound like a good first breakfast in bed?"

"Sounds perfect," she agreed. "But don't worry too much if you can't get it... whatever you can is fine."

"Don't worry, I'll get it," he said smiling over his shoulder as he walked towards her weyr door.

Maiz took the opportunity to speak with her dragon.
**Indyath, he's pretty much perfect isn't he?**

}:He does seem very nice. He makes you happy too. I like anyone who makes you happy.:{ Once again, the greenrider had to push back the feeling that using T'nac simply wasn't right.
