She took a few sips of the water and giggled again. "I've never eaten this stuff before, so it might happen again..." She set the water aside, but close by. Just in case.

After a while Jason looked over at his cousin. "Hey Max, what are we doing after this? We could drop some of this stuff off and go for that hike to watch the sunset."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea. Where should we hike?" Max asked, looking over at his cousin.

Octavius leaned in, grabbing a second sandwich to munch on quietly. He had a soft smile on his face now, glancing over at Jay often. Life was good.

Cassie had finished long ago and was just sitting with Max watching the ocean.

"Hmm, we could go up Black Ridge to the cliffs... Beautiful view up there." Jason offered, remembering the times they'd go up and just sit to watch the day go by. "You remember right? That little spring-fed pond and the waterfall? And those raspberries..."

Max chuckled. "How could I forget? I loved stuffing ourselves on berries when we were kids. Oh, my mom was so mad when I returned stained pink and red all over! And missing shirts as I had left them behind when we swam. Yes, black ridge is a fabulous plan," Max said, squeezing Cassie gently. "What do you think?"

"A waterfall and raspberries?" Octavius asked, setting down the sandwich. "That sounds wonderful."

"That sounds like a fabulous plan," Cassie smiled having stolen his words. She turned enough to hug him gently. "Is it very well known?" She was asking wondering if she'd be able to run again.

Jason nodded. "It is. I wonder if we can find any of our shirts... It's been a while since we've been up there."

"It's secluded enough. Few people know about it and fewer still actually go. We'll probably have it all to our selves, as per usual," Max said, then chuckled at his cousins statement.

"Why would you want to? Why would you cover up?" Octavius blurted out before he could stop himself. His hand slapped over his mouth and he gasped at his own forwardness. He rather admired Jason shirtless.

Cassie was silent until Jason had replied and she giggled, a faint blush tinging her cheeks as well. "I think I agree with Octavius on that one, but about you..." She smiled up at Max, her mismatched eyes searching his.

Jason's face turned a few shades redder and he couldn't help but laugh a bit. "I find I burn easily in the sun, so I don't usually go shirtless, but since we're in the shade I'm okay," He gently removed Octavius' hand from his mouth so he could kiss him.

Max looked rather smug at that. Kissing her hungrily, he whispered, "Then it would appear I am going to be wearing a lot less shirts. If you enjoy it, I am all too happy to oblige. Maybe start doing some sword drills in the orchard for you...or pop in unanounced in the cabin...or when it rains, I could tug off my shirts too." Looking positively devilish, Max wiggled his eyebrows before kissing each of her eyelids. "You are beautiful...each and every scar means something, is a story and window into your life...I love them. But your eyes are my favorite. I could get list in then."

Octavius, beet red but happy, kissed him back. "I'm glad.and if you burn, I might be able to help with that. It isn't true healing, but I watches many healers use water to help heal burns and can sort if mimic that."

Cassie giggled at the kisses on her eyelids, but smiled at his words. "I wouldn't mind any of that," She sighed contentedly as she laid her head on his shoulder, one of her hands absentmindedly running across his collarbone, her eyes on his. "I think I would be happy if you did any or all of that..."

Jason grinned and chuckled, happy to kiss him. "Then for the rest of the day, my shirt will not find me," He moved his shirt away and into a bag. "We can test your ability and I can make you happy,"

"Your wish is my command, fair Cassiopeia. I shall be doing all of those things. As often as you'd like," Max vowed, laying his head over hers. He kept her tucked close so that he could stroke his hand over her arm and back. "For the rest of our days, I will strive to make you happy. Because I like seeing you happy. For the small pleasure of it."

Octavius grinned, hiding behind his hair slightly. Lightly, he reached out to trace Jason's chest with his fingertips. "I like this plan. I like it a lot."

Cassie tilted her head enough to look up at him. "Maximilian, I want to make you happy as well..." She shook her head slightly. "Please don't say that my happiness makes you happy, I can already see that, but, I want to do something for you... What could I do? As mates one doesn't just live off the other. Both must contribute... I want to contribute... I want to make you happy..." Her eyes shone with the same fierceness and determination that was present when they first met in the slave market.

Jason's next breath was stuttered under Octavius' fingers. "I think I like it as well," He reached over and tucked the hair behind his ear and brushed his thumb over the warrior's cheek.

"You're right...but I don't know what I need...what do you wish to do? What what would make you happy to do for me?" Max asked.

Octavius caught Jays fingers, holding them against his cheek. The simple kind touch nearly breaking him. He kissed Jays fingers, needing to return the gesture. "I don't think I will ever understand...all my life...I believed I did something horrible. What ungodly act did I commit to have them toss me away? I was a baby...I had to have deserved the punishment. That is how I saw it," he whispered, voice so low, he didn't even know if he was talking. "You make me feel like I didn't do anything wrong. Like I didn't deserve any of it...I think that is true."

Cassie shook her head again. "You miss my point," She got up to kneel in front of him as she tried to figure out how to explain. "What makes you happy might not make me happy, as mates, sometimes sacrifices must be made. I would do anything to make you happy. Anything. I just don't want to be the one who is made happy all the time... That's unfair... Yes, we can both be happy, but I want to make sure I do it right... I want the gods to be happy with us... I," She bit her tongue and looked away before she reopened that wound any further.

Jason muttered something so unintelligible that he might not even have said anything. He pulled Octavius into a tight, firm hug. "You didn't do anything wrong, you didn't deserve anything bad... You are a good, wonderful person... I swear this to you. I will never lie to you. I swear it. Octavius, you did nothing wrong, and you deserved better."

"I think I understand...needing to compromise when the time comes. I am sure there will be times when we don't agree. Like your safety. I don't want you to put yourself in life or death situations where I might lose you. Do you think we could...stay together? Meaning, we both sleep in the house or we both sleep in the cabin but we sleep under the same roof? So that we can rush to each others aid when needed?" Max asked, trying to understand this. It was so important to her. He wanted to understand.

Octavius pressed close, fighting back tears as he pressed his face against Jays shoulder. "If not in this life, then the last? I had to have done something...why else would people do those things? I just...it doesn't make sense, Jay. I've followed it blindly. Anything else hurts to think about, to try to justify."

Cassie nodded and smiled slightly. "I like to swim, my mate did too, but not in the deep water like I do. He wouldn't come out very deep, but he would still come with me when we would go to the deep pools. Compromise. He liked to specifically hunt bears with a few other males. I would worry, but I didn't argue, I voiced concern, but I didn't keep him from doing it. Compromise." She hoped she was making more sense. "I made a promise to keep you safe... If you're in danger, then why shouldn't I be? I don't want to lose you too..."

"Why should you be judged and punished for something done in another life? That's not fair," He held on tightly and made sure his voice didn't crack. "Octavius, what did they do to you? No, you don't have to tell me, but whatever they did, nothing can justify it. It might be explained, but nothing could make it justified in my eyes. I will make them pay for what they did to you... I promise you." He lost it as a twin set of tears trailed down his cheeks, but he managed to keep his voice.

Max chuckled, kissing her. "Needless life or death situations. In return, I do not throw myself into needless life or death situations. I get to protect you as much as you get to protect me. That is what I meant to say. Didn't explain it well. We do it together, as a team. I will never lie to you. However, I can not be held responsible for misdirecting if I try to surprise you," Max teased, tugging her ever so slightly closer. "Sound fair?"

Octavius pulled back when he felt Jays' tears. But only so that he could try to wipe them away. There was so much...one day, I will tell you everything...piece by piece for now. So long as you are safe, so long as I get to be around your positivity, I feel like I can keep believing I got it wrong."

"Sounds fair," Cassie smiled broadly as she curled herself into Max's arms. "I think a white lie for a surprise is okay," She chuckled as she leaned in to lightly kiss him.

Jason nodded. "I will strive to be a shining light of positivity for you for the rest of our days," He leaned his head in so that it was against Octavius' forehead. "You have done nothing wrong."

Max grinned, resting his head over hers after the kiss, enjoying how they fit together. "I think I'll like that. It'll be a challenge to try to do so."

Octavius nodded, hugging him tightly. "I have....now I have...but under threat to my life. I know that it doesn't make it okay but it explains it...I am not the only one at fault for those."

Cassie nodded and snuggled against him like a dog or cat might. "Max," She whispered before lifting her head to look up at him. "I love you."

Jason shook his head. "No, no that wasn't you, that was them," His voice was on the verge of cracking. "You are not to blame for that. You are a good person Octavius, you have done nothing wrong."

Max grinned kissing her. "And I love you, Cassie," he replied. "I don't believe I can stop. And that is good. I don't want to stop." Leaning in, he nuzzled his nose against her neck.

Octavius's lips trembled and his hands shook, but he nodded, softly. If Jason said he was not at fault, then he was not at fault. Curling himself all but in Jays lap close, he began to relax, tension running off his shoulders.
