Intrigued (Malachi & Myrrhe) [Y1052-Y1054]
By: DolittleMax Date: March 25, 2020, 8:57 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
In the great halls of the Galanthius household there was the
bustle of activity that usually came with a Board of Trade
meeting. Servants were hurrying to get guests what they wished
and everyone seemed to have some purpose. Everyone except
Malachi of course. The attractive young male strolled listlessly
down the hall as everyone rushed by him to get to where they
needed to be. All Malachi had to do today was turn up. As the
youngest of two sons in the Galanthius household, and as such
had no ‘purpose.’ He wasn’t required to learn his father’s
buisness and wasn’t required to make an heir to carry on the
family fortune. He was required to simply... turn up. A task
which Malachi was resenting the more and more he was required to
do it. Even as a child he’d been quite invisible; with parents
constantly working or at parties and a golden-child brother who
always got the attention, it was hard for such a child to do
much with himself. Instead, to get some kind of attention, he’d
alway be the rascal child and the one playing up and having to
be disciplined. He was labeled the ‘troubled child’ when all he
really craved was attention.
Malachi sighed, leaning against a small alcove in his finery. He
wore a deep emerald green that reflected his eyes and suited his
blonde hair. He had his hair out, falling about his shoulders in
the way the ladies of the area had come to gain over. While he
may be considered the better looking of the two brothers, he had
a reputation for being impossible to pin down for anything;
especially courting. As he stood there quietly, his eyes caught
of a figure striding through the hustle of the servants. His
eyes widened in surprise and interest as they caught on a lovely
face. The woman in question however, seemed confident in where
she was going and didn’t even notice him standing there.
“W-Wh- Hello!” he managed to get out, following her quickly and
falling in stride with her. Her eyes seemed bright and
intelligent, her chin raised to an endearing angle and her lips
set in a neutral look.
“I haven’t seen you about before. Are you new? I’m Malachi by
the way.” he didn’t include his last name for a reason.

As the woman turned to face him, he felt the breath knocked from
his lungs with the gaze she leveled him. He blinked and for a
moment was unable to speak. He moved his mouth as if to speak,
but his cheeks reddened as she so wittily caught him off guard.
Myrrhe...
The name settled in his mind and remained there as Malachi gave
a clear of his throat and straightened his thoughts.
"Amin - uh - amin nowe ta be pretentious quen- amin own lambe
instead en'i' common lambe a'y' newcomer. Nan' ta seem vee'
though amin manners nae mislaid..." he returned the bow, albeit
much deeper than considered socially acceptable for someone
lower than him. He took her hand and raised it to his forehead
in the ritual sign of respect and peace offering. With this,
Malachi had found his tongue and confidence.
"Mani naa y'vanya arwen ve'lle doien dealien yassen lyien
traders ve'ho?" he asked, running a hand through his hair. He
was interested in her- not just because she was beautiful but
she commanded an air of respect. One certainly earned and not
born and after all, it wasn't any woman who could immediately
make the young master lose his silver tongue.
Malachi felt himself a flutter and it made him frown inside. She
was just a woman- he spoke with (and 'associated with') other
women before. Why was this one so special, huh?
[spoiler "Translation"] 1. I thought it to be a bit pretentious
to not welcome a newcomer in the common tongue. But it would
seem my manners are mislaid...
2. What is a fair lady like you doing in dealings with lying
traders like him? [/spoiler]

With the witty comeback, his brow quirked and a smile broke out
on his face; better yet, the beauty had a brain! Definitely a
step up from the wine drinking airheads he was so commonly
obliged to entertain. However, Malachi clicked his tongue in
annoyance as she addressed him by his formal title. So it seemed
she did know him...
A frown crossed his elegant features as he sighed in
exasperation, "Ta seems amin nosse essa follows amin ve' y' bad
fira... Pah! Was worth it to escape myself for a mere moment. I
suppose you're part of all the business happening today, mmm?
Well, you're doing better than I am. I just have to sit there
and look pretty. It's like father puts me to the side with a
bunch of toys. "Here son, stay out of the way for a while..."
Malachi blinked as he slapped a hand across his mouth, "Amin
caela forgotten amin. You shouldn't listen to me ahaha..."
He looked at her awkwardly, that damned flush to his cheeks
flooding back and up to his pointed ears. He'd harrassed this
woman and stopped her in the hall- surely she had important
things to do...
"Forgive amin, amin tanaka lle naa busy..." he once more gave a
deep bow before moving to walk away, accidently walking into an
entryway that the door was shut on. He rubbed his head and gave
an embarrassed laugh.
"Although, if you'd do me the honour, perhaps tea after the big
meeting?" he asked hopefully.
[hr]
Translations:
1. 'It seems my family name follows me like a bad smell...'
2. 'I forget myself'
3. 'Forgive me, I'm sure you're busy.

Malachi blinked in surprise at the sudden input into the
conversation and noted the resemblance between the two; though
Myrrhe still far outshone her in his eyes. He gave a small head
bow to her as she answered for her sister, his eyes still glued
to Myrrhe as he replied.
"Amin'm honoured cael- such y' guest" he smiled, albeit probably
too eagerly and nervously. His face was still burning from his
embarrassing embrace with the door.
"Manka lle auta a' i' hyarya wien garden ale' i' meetien a're,
amin'll be eller!" he said as he quickly made an exit.
He hurried off, giving a small noise of victory as the door shut
behind him. She seemed a little uptight, but he was sure that
was because she knew of his statue. If he could get her to see
him as just anyone else, perhaps she could relax. He had the
perfect idea- a picnic! He hummed as he quickly made his way
down to the kitchens, sliding in and greeting the usual people
who saw him. His main confident in this whole damned estate was
the chef. I rotund lady Elviette with happy eyes and cherub
cheeks. As he entered the kitchen, he greeted her with a nervous
smile.
"Can I steal a few things? I'm having a picnic today."
"Picnic, mmm? Who's the lucky lady this time?"
"Her name is Myrrhe- Myrrhe Faexisys..." he said, words drifting
off as he called her features to mind again.
"Faexisys? The lawer bunch- you'll 'av to watch them. Lawyers
are a slimey bunch... not to mention the Faexisys' particular
set of beliefs... I'm guessing your parents don't know?" she
said as she continued to chop up potatos.
Malachi frowned irritably as he started to gather bits of food
and put them in a basket, "Since when have my parents cared
about what I do with my spare time?"
"But this affects their reputations... and you know they care a
great deal about that..."
"Well, what they don't know can't hurt them." he huffed,
grabbing the basket and hurrying off.
[spoiler="Translations"]
1. 'Amin'm honoured cael- such y' guest' = I'm honoured to have
such a guest

meeting today, I'll be there!

Malachi had also changed, but into something more casual than
the impressive noble clothes he was required to wear to
important meetings. These clothes were blue, with subtle silver
edging around the collar and cuffs. He was just planning out
what he was going to talk to her about when he heard with his
heightened Elvi senses, a gentle shuffle outside his door. He
looked to the door and then to his basket of goodies. He quickly
stood to his feet, picking up the basket and opening the door.
Maybe he should have let her knock... maybe opening it before
she was ready would unsettle her or make her think he was too
eager and waiting there the whole time. Before he could stop
himself, words came tumbling out, "Amin wasn't spyien - amin
mean ta's amin room nan' amin ume il- sinta lle nae Tulien.
Eithel, amin ume nan' amin nae il- listenien ten' lle"
He cleared his throat, wiping those few embarrassing moments
from his life and offering her an arm.
"Lotesse amin? amin planned ten' an outdoor picnic."
He led her out to one of the more quiet gardens, still neatly
kept with rich beds of roses, but the hedges provided some
amount of privacy and quiet in a place always full of activity.
He let go of her arm to spread out the blanket and set out a few
things. There was some fruit, cheese and some of the chef's best
sweets. He stood, brushing his knees off and gesturing to the
blanket.
"So uh- Shall lye?"
[spoiler="Translations"]
1. I wasn't spying - I mean it's my room but I did not know you
were coming. Well, I did but I was not listening for you
2. May I? I planned for an outdoor picnic
3. Shall we?

The small gesture of her pushing hair back behind her ear almost
made Malachi sigh aloud in admiration. Her shy expression was
vastly different from the confident and annoyed woman he'd met
earlier, but no less attractive. He struggled to find words as
they walked silently beside each other to the garden and he
glanced at her a moment- catching the almost downcast expression
as though she wanted no part of this. Why then, had she agreed
with her sister to come along? Surely she didn't feel that
because of his status that she had to accept? He knew if that
was the reason there would be no way she'd admit it, even if he
asked her straight out.
He blinked when she complemented the garden and looked up with a
small smile.
"Ah, Ta nae amin atar's gift a' amin atara iire ron discovered
re nae pregnant yassen amin." It was neatly kept, but
none-the-less one of the smaller gardens of the home. He gave a
wry smile to himself to think his mother most likely hadn't
spent time in this garden other than the time it was given to
her. He stood awkwardly and looked at the woman, only sitting
down as she sat. He chewed at his lip as she asked if they dealt
with trade. Malachi gave a small gesture of resignation.
"Ta naa i' chil ya must watch over such things. Amin naa y' lin
figure dol..."
He looked at her, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, before
finally speaking his mind.
"Manka lle uma il- wish ham- sinome ar' termara amin, lle
Lotesse Kela. Amin harbour aya n'uma engwar feelien tanna lle
manka lle ikotane decide. Amin rather-aya il- kwara lle thar
lle will..."
He sighed, flopping back on the grass with little grace,
expecting her to now leave.
"Lle just seemed n'ataya ar' interestien..." he mumbled quietly,
almost as an after thought to his self reflection.
[spoiler="Translations"]
1. It was my father's gift to my mother when they discovered she
was pregnant with me
2. It is the heir who must watch over such things. I am a mere
figure head.
3. If you do not wish to sit here and endure me, you leave. I
harbour no ill feeling toward you if you so decide. I'd rather
not hold you against your will.
4. You just seemed different and interesting...

Well, at least it wasn't a straight out no. Though, he could
still sense a level of reluctance. Picking up the plate, he
offered it to her. It was full of sweet pastries all sprinkled
with sugar.
"Ikotane sut ume lle tul a a' be i' dol en' lle nosse's
business? Amin caela noted an absence en' ai' en' i' n'at
lawyers tuulo' lle house sinome?" he asked curiously as he let
her take from the plate.
He took one of the pastries himself and bit into it, holding
back his delighted groan. The pastries were so fresh they melted
in the mouth and settled on the tongue marvellously. He gestured
to them, "Amin favourite perk en' beien y' hythian. I' food."
It may sound spoiled of him, but royal life wasn't all what it
was made out to be. There were so many rules and expectations-
but even worse for Malachi was that he existed in this world of
'grey.' There weren't really rules for him, because he wasn't
heir and didn't have a role but he also still had the
expectation of how to act. So Malachi was left to stumble
through court life in this grey, never being able to really
please anyone.
He loosed the collar of his blouse, finding it altogether
uncomfortable. His fingers knotted in the grass nervously as he
tried to remain composed and hold a conversation with this
beautifully stoic woman.
"Mani uma lle uma e' lle leitha coiasira? manka lle caela sai-
en' ta?"
[spoiler="Translation"]
1. So how did you come to be the head of your family's business?
I have noted an absence of any of the other lawyers from your
house here
2. My favourite perk of being a Hythian. The food.
3. 'What do you do in your free time?" he asked "If you have
much of it."

He caught the woman's red cheeks and quirked a brow in interest.
She didn't seem like the type that would get flustered over a
peep at bare skin- but yet again, maybe this hard and serious
facade was to hide who she really was; keep people back. He
hummed to himself in thought; maybe he could crack this cold
exterior.
In the woman's embarrassment, she seemed to have hurried a slice
of the sweet down her throat too quickly, forcing her into a
very unladylike coughing fit that had her thumping her chest in
an attempt to clear her airways.
When Malachi saw that she was alright, he let out a chuckle- a
light and warm laugh -that lit up his face and eyes with
amusement.
"Amin arwen, eller naa n'uma anta hort-. Eller naa plenty ner
manke tanya tul e tuulo' ar' manka lle ikotane irme ta, amin be

He took a bite from another slice and gave a happy groan, "Sha.
These naa worth sen weight e' gold"
When she spoke of her family, he used it as a good segway.
"Ah uma, i' faexisys hostar. Amin can't say amin'm ilya a'

[spoiler="Translation"]
1. My lady, there is no need to hurry. There is plenty more
where that came from and if you so desired it, I could be your
regular supplier of goods. Start my own trade, mmm? Time with
this fair lady in exchange for baked goods? How is that for a
bargain? I'd say I was getting away with theft almost.
2. Almost. These are worth their weight in gold.
3. Ah yes, the Faexisys tribe. I can't say I'm all to familiar
with your family. I saw your sister, do you have other siblings?

Malachi was glad that the small incident seemed to relax her a
little bit... enough that she seemed bold enough to ask him
about his relationship with his father. He quirked an eyebrow at
the woman, leaning up on his elbows to look at her, "Lle ask
ilya i' easy questions, don't lle?" he chuckled. He gave a
shrug, taking a breath before answering her.
"Amin parents nae known, ann n'ala amin noste, ten' sen
extravagant parties. Iire amin toror' noste, ron had y'
first-born a' show off, a' train de. Iire amin noste? i' whole
'we had y' laito' seemed cael- lost ta's sila. Ron went

He shrugged, "Amin caela grown maghe a' ta. Amin maghe a'
tyava sad, nan' i' ner amin elea en' amin atar i' happier amin

He cleared his throat awkwardly, feeling like he was being too
sullen to be good company. He shot her a charming smile,
fiddling with his collar nervously.
"Faarea en' amin, mani about lle? mani naa lle nosse ve'?"
[spoiler="Translation"]
1. You ask all the easy questions, don't you?
2. My parents were known, long before I was born, for their
extravagant parties. When my brother was born, they had a
first-born to show off, to train up. When I was born? The whole
'we had a baby' seemed to have lost it's shine. They went back
to partying and only spared moments for the eldest son. Of
course, I acted up to get attention, only to be scolded by my
father. The only time I have his attention is when he's angry
with me.
3. I have grown used to it. I used to feel sad, but the more I
see of my father the happier I am that he leaves me alone...
4. Enough of me, what about you? What is your family like?

Malachi noted with some small sense of victory that the woman
seemed to be more comfortable now. He’d hoped she might,
especially since he was nothing like his prim and proper
brother. Of course his brother was the most liked, but in his
own opinion, he was the most charming. As it had gone during
their childhood; Malachi would attract the most people, but they
only put up with him because it meant being close to the future
ruler and potential suitor that was his brother.
He looked up at the sky as she spoke of having a similar life
narrative and leant up on on elbow to look at her face. He
searched her features for some hint at what this secret might
be, but as she dissuaded him from investigating, he obeyed.
Malachi shrugged and gave her a reassuring smile.
“We all have our secrets... I will not force you to tell them to
me. I know how it feels to have people want to snoop into every
part of your life. It’s tiring...”
He flopped on the grass again beside her and gave a deep sigh,
once more looking at the clouds. He searched them before
pointing one out to her, leaning close and speaking in gentle
hushed tones.
“See that cloud there? It looks like a dragon don’t you think? A
dragon or.... a cat riding a snake.”
He gave a chuckle before laying back down, a little closer to
her now. She smelt like paper and... and freshly cut flowers. He
shut his eyes and enjoyed this odd companionship. With his eyes
still closed he whispered, “If you ever need a friend... who
doesn’t ask questions or look down on you. I’m here. I know how
lonely it is when you have to keep secrets...”
