He'd met her while running routes.  She was the one who did the reading part of the navigating and double-checked it against his landmark awareness.  She was the one who made sure all of the numbers balanced as they made deliveries, and verbalized the information, so he knew what was going on while they worked, instead of leaving him in the dark as it were.

Cael was smitten almost immediately.  No real clue why, but he was.

He wasn't always lucky enough to be running the same route, end of the week, or shift with her, but he loved it when he got the chance.  They were pretty good friends, and he thought they would be good as more.  Why hadn't he asked her out on a date?  Well, he wanted to work up to that, not rush her.

So really, no one was happier than he was when he got his Mate Dream.  Or so he'd say.

A bird soared in the sky.  It flew with all the grace of its species and showed off its wingspan beautifully.  There was no doubt in Cael's mind that this bird had been flying for a long time, and had mastered it.  And then it dove down, towards the earth, rushing towards a target that Cael could not see, but he knew, just knew, the bird would catch its prey.  The cry it released when it did was full of joy and pride in itself- and woke him up.

After running it by the Shaman, Cael found Eveli during a day off- she was the only person that inspired that much faith in their abilities (that wasn't family, mind), so it had to be her.  He made sure they were both off from work when he padded up to her to ask her about it.  Of course, it was tucked into several other topics; coming up out of the blue with it would be kind of odd, he thought.

When he finally spoke up about it, he started with, "So, Eveli.  I had a dream that made me think of you," he shifted his weight and continued, "Mainly because the bird soaring and diving in the sky gave me the same sense of 'I know what I'm doing and have it all worked out.'"

Eveli belongs to *Tenor

(This all stemmed from a line about organization being good for her. Hopefully I read that riiight. XD )
