So, how do Master and I spend quality time together? What do we do to stay close, mentally and emotionally? How do we enjoy time together? What constitutes time? Who is to say what counts as time, quality or otherwise?
Over the years, Master and I have come up with many ways to keep close even when His job takes His a thousand miles away for weeks at a time. The quantity of time physically together is precious and must be spent wisely, attention divided between one on one time together as just Master and slave (some of the sweetest moments, when we are just us, the world ceases to exist and I am just His slave, His woman, in His arms, and it feels like time has stopped), parenting time, and other family or community commitments. So we have needed to get creative when it comes to time together.
When people talk to us, we get looks because they see grown adults who play video games. But, to us, those pixels are so much more than "just a game." Our relationship has played out through pixels over the last few years. I have lost count of date nights spent as our Elvaan characters. The countless nights He has eased me through sub drop by being able to be together in the game.
We have since started playing other games together. An outlet for togetherness. Together we run a clan on Clash of Clans with some friends we have met in the game. The clan gives the sense of community I need at times. It is something we can do together.
That sense of family and occasional need for family is eased by the people in our other game. Even though I have not been playing Underworld Empire as long, I am getting that strong feeling of family and belonging from our empire, they accept my weirdness for what it is and are learning that when I need to be ignored because I am just there for community and family, even if I am just in my own little world.
Of course, there is still phone calls and texts, we have not explored web cams ye, and have only used face time once, but we have ways to be together without those things.
