Dylan watched the scribbling for some time and wonders about the Tale of Leal. Faithfulness and being pure, who wouldn't desire to be.
Dylan was happy to learn that Eva has finally settled, even if it is very far away from Capaldi. He was glad to know it. He carefully covers her letter in envelope and put it in his study, along with his book on Criminal law.
Life gets as busy as it can be for time being. Both of them; Lena and Dylan are quite busy with their studies and doing some experimentation. Every evening , he drop Lena in Forest of Red Trunk to complete her duties as first and only apprentice of Old Shen before he drives to his father's office for some practical work with his father. Tahn he picks her up from the forest and they goes to Al'Xander mansion. Since the attack of evil on Lena It has become their routine. Late in night they come back home, only to get some rest before next day.
Lena was still asleep, when Dylan checked on her. Unable to disturb the peace of her, Dylan gets downstairs to prepare a healthy brunch for both of them.
Soon the house, which was silent before buzzes with sizzling sound as Dylan fries veges and eggs for sandwiches.
He was half way done with brunch when he goes up to wake Lena.
Lena was already awake but still in warm covers. She smiles as Dylan enters in.
Dylan sits on bed beside her, making lazy movement in covers. Dylan bends a little towards her and place his lips on her forehead before whispering to her as he carefully guide her up.
"Morning Dy" Lena hugged his arm and whispers. He put his arms around her.
"Morning love." Lena smiles, he felt the peace and he was willing to do anything for this moment with her.

Day passed away in anticipation of time alone being with her. Dylan thought about it whole day. For how long they have spend time alone, without any problems or issues faced by other one. He was in his car, before the entrance of Green House of Old Shen. He comfortablely sit there for some time before going inside.
The Green house was just as he has seen back in December. Some plants has fruits dangling from branches. He recognized some of them. Dylan walked inside, deeper into greenhouse from where the voices came.
Lena was inside, wearing an allover for work, her long hairs tied up in bun. Her hand dirty with some soil. Her eyes turned out to be sparkling when Lena saw Dylan walking in.
"Master, it's Dylan. " Lena says abandoning her work, running to Dylan. He catch her in his arms, inhaling sweet scent of her inside his lungs.
"Ahh... Dylan boy you are here. " Old Shen appears, in much worse condition than Lena.
"Yes" He greeted Old Shen. Lena drifted off to change in her clothes.
"You do appear in right time Dylan." Old Shen start to walk back into main building of greenhouse.
"Lena and I just harvested first batch of oranges. It's kinda late but I can say that it's ninety percent pure one. " He gave Dylan a basket overflowing with different fruits.
"Isn't it dangerous to plant real and non genetically modified things." Dylan didn't find a word that can exactly describes non modified plants.
"Not when you get permission for it. It's all controlled. " Old Shen replied vaguely.
"Lena you are here. " He was first one to notice Lena, who walked in wearing warm clothes.
Dylan take out his hand for her to take.
Lena held his hand, smiling ear to ear.
"Look at you now Lena." Old Shen do adore Lena.
"Maaster don't do this.. " Lena exclaimed, dragging Dylan out with her.
By the door, Lena looked back at Old Shen.
"Have good night Master Shen."
And walk away with Dylan.
"So how was your day? "Dykan asked, carefully placing the basket on back seat as he watched Lena taking her seat.
"It was good. We planted some seeds and harvested fruits." Than she suddenly turns to him, who was still adjusting his backpack.
"Dylan, real Friuts taste different. "
Looks like she forgets about the dinner.
"hmm."
"How so? " Dylan asked, taking his seat and started the car.
"I can't describe the exact taste but it's soon good. " Lena told him what she has done whole day, both in Uni and at greenhouse.
"Take me to Framers night market after dinner Dylan. " Lena was pleased with some idea that has rooted deep inside her mind but didn't tell him.
"Okay."
