The 'dating' term is still being defined by Hunter, as he continues to experience new things. He is evolving more and more, due to opportunities that he had been given in the Nexus.

Hunter turns to face Jim. He strokes a hand through the other man's hair.

"I want you to know... I have always wanted to see you happy and fulfilled. Your smile... your laugh..."

"Faris and I had the chance to discuss about lifemates when we took that journey. And while there was a part of me that was still trying to 'define' what we have... day by day, I realize that I don't have to define anything. I think that darkness took advantage of those last little parts of myself that were still trying to find a 'definition'."

"I do love you, Jim. I always will. No matter what happens."
