Re: CHPT 0.7: Intrigued (Malachi & Myrrhe) [Y1052-Y1054]

Malachi quirked a brow in amusement as the tailor gave him a
once over, checking him out. Malachi was used to such glances
but shrugged this one off; the man wasn't his type- too
flamboyant and would make him feel inferior. However, the real
interest in the man was what he said. Myrrhe wasn't his-
He let out a short chuckle and grinned mischievously at the
flushed and blushing Myrrhe "Indeed I do think matching outfits
would be quite fitting"
The comment about Myrrhe scaring children made him annoyed with
the tailor- how dare he-
"My wife looks absolutely stunning in anything she wears. She
shall have whatever colour she sees fit. If her dress scares
children I'd say that might be a reflection on a fault in your
dress sense rather than her looks"
It seemed a light-hearted jibe that he delivered with a candid
smile but that was the gift Malachi had. The silver tongue that
charmed people to him, allowing him to say whatever he wanted
and make it seem pleasant. The odd slight at Myrrhe's beauty lit
a small fire of anger within himself and he had to suppress the
urge he had to leave immediately. He looked to Myrrhe and noted
she seemed uncomfortable. He decided to move and sit in a chair
by her, "We can leave when you like" he reminded her. In case
she needed to leave.

Malachi simply ignored the comments about Myrrhe appearing pale,
though when the tailor called her out mockingly calling her
‘ghost’ his jaw clenched a little. If this man kept going
Malachi was going to have to have some strong words with-
All thoughts were wiped from his mind as Myrrhe stepped out from
behind the curtain in the dress. His jaw went limp and hung open
a little as he observed her keenly. She was pale but it
accentuated her Elvi beauty- and it hung beautifully on her. He
felt his pulse quicken and a flood of adoration wash over him.
Subtly, he shifted to cross one leg over the other in an attempt
to prevent his adoration from embarrassing himself. His heart
gave a painful throb as she shyly asked if it looked bad.
He couldn’t help it and stood quickly from the chair he was
seated in as he took a few steps toward her, eyes glued on her
“You hold more beauty than anyone could ever dream of... it’s-
it’s stunning...” he managed to rasp out in their tongue eyes
still trained on her. He quite nearly forgot there was anyone
else in the room and was about to say something else- but
luckily he stopped. He blinked out of his small fever and moved
to sit down once more, folding his leg over again, cheeks a
little pink.

---------------------------------------------------------
Malachi watched from his place in the chair in the corner
quietly, trying to properly compose himself- an action he found
oddly difficult as Aeymon insisted on touching her and being so
close. He took a small breath, reminding himself that she was
not exactly his. As she looked at herself in the dress, Malachi
also admired her. She really was something...
Another dress was brought forward, a nice one as far as he could
tell, and Aeymon offered to let her try on more. Myrrhe seemed
unsure at first but when she looked at him for permission he
gave a smile and nodded for her to go ahead. He would definitely
buy her anything she so desired- he didn't seem to realise but
she had him wrapped around her finger, whether she knew or not.
As she went to try on her things, Malachi's own attire was
brought to attention and a few of the assistants fitted him in a
new set of clothes.
He looked at himself for a moment with a small hum of approval;
the navy wasn't so bad. Not one of his normal colors but perhaps
now it might be? He took a seat after paying for the set of
clothes made for him and the lavender dress. He simply waved his
hand at one of the assistants when they asked what Myrrhe's
budget was.
"What she wants, she has"
He didn't think she was the materialistic type, but he certainly
enjoyed spending money on her.

Malachi simply remained quiet as the dress was expanded upon and
discussed. He didn't have much mind for all the words he was
hearing as his mind was elsewhere. He was brought to attention
as quite a striking woman entered and also made comment on the
dress. She was beautiful but hardly anything close to Myrrhe. He
looked back to the dress Myrrhe was wearing and gave a vague
gesture.
"I think she looks fabulous in both. Why not buy they both?" he
quirked a brow and looked at his pocket watch. It was getting on
in the afternoon and he was quite hungry. Tonight were the
markets and he could already smell he familiar Glaperan
delicacies wafting in through the door. Something about this
Aaeymon character was quite suffocating and he felt that the
longer they stayed, the less air he had.

He quirked a brow as she still insisted on being bashful. If she
wasn’t going to speak for herself, he’d endeavour to make sure
she wasn’t pushed around. While she was getting changed, he paid
for all items she had tried on and had them packaged and sent to
their tavern room. It would be waiting for them when they got
back. Malachi had also returned to his previous attire and was
standing waiting when she emerged. Quickly, to try and reduce
the amount of overwhelmed she might be feeling with everyone
fussing over her. He quickly cut in between her and the
assistants with a smooth bow.
“I thank you for your services, and I will be sure to recommend
you to any other Phonaxians that might be coming through. Now,
please excuse us”
He put a palm on the small of her back and guided her out. Once
out of earshot he gave an exasperated breath and looked at her.
“It seems that people wanting to sell something are the most
suffocating. Are you okay?”
He looked at her, head tilted in concern.

Malachi walked beside her for a while, taking the packages with
the dresses into his own arms to carry as they walked. He
glanced at her and noted the way she seemed pensive and
melancholy. Her words about longing for home made him pause a
little. Malachi never really missed home, as it never felt like
a place he belonged. Many moons ago he’d arrived on these shores
and found something akin to family. A brother. So at times he
actually felt himself long for Glapera and it’s scorching sun,
wild beaches and spicy dishes.
“The first time away from ones homeland is often quite
daunting...” he offered quietly in sympathy. He paused a moment
before continuing.
“We are to meet them at their estate. It’s a grand affair and we
will be waited on hand and foot like royalty. I would warn you
against conversing with the grandmother too much... she is not
fond of our kind and only after a year in their household did I
even gain any goodwill with her. So it’s best to leave her well
enough alone”
Malachi leant on the rail, looking out to the sea in the quiet
afternoon. His mind was far from contracts at this point.
“Myrrhe... have you ever thought you’d found someone? You spot
them and your heart lights on fire and you’d do anything to make
them smile? To hear them laugh...”
he glanced at her a moment, weighing her response.

---------------------------------------------------------
Malachi listened to her words with a mix of sadness, anger and
an overwhelming desire to just pull her into a hug. It would
seem he was the only one at this point in their... friendship or
whatever you’d call it... to be feeling a certain way. He gave a
sigh and rested his chin on his hand. If he told her how he felt
would it warm her to him or just make her want to run away? He
could never tell with her what her reaction was going to be. So
far most of his advances had been accepted and while she seemed
shocked and flustered, she never outright rejected him. Was that
because she feared him in a sense? Did his status make her think
she had to let him do that? The thought made him grimace
internally and pray to the gods that that wasn’t the reason.
“I think I feel that way about someone now...” he said quietly,
just looking ahead still in thought. He let his hand brush hers
for a moment, but refrained from anything else that may make her
uncomfortable.

---------------------------------------------------------
He sighed, "Fortunate? mayhaps... Oblivious? Indeed..." he
muttered to himself.
Malachi pushed off from the bar and gave a stretch, hefting the
packages over his arm once more.
"Indeed, we will be staying at a boarding house near the port
where we arrived. It's a better option then the taverns in this
part of the city. I've ensured we each have our own room for
tonight and have booked it for tomorrow night as well"
A small part of him wished to be able to stay with his friend
once more like they had done those years ago. He wondered if
anyone occupied the room he had stayed in for the year with the
Aluana's. He gave a gesture and began to lead the way and showed
her to her room. He sat the dresses on the end of the bed and
stood there awkwardly for a moment. He wished to say more, but
he felt as if the time wasn't right. He didn't want to push his
affections on her if she seemed uncomfortable when he showed it.
"Well, I will bid you goodnight-" he said as he made his way to
the door "Dearest 'Wife'" he joked before heading to his own
room.
The next day they travelled by coach some distance through
familiar territory. Malachi was dressed well in his family
colours of blue and silver. Of course Myrrhe was simply stunning
in what she wore; he'd found himself at a loss of words for a
moment when she had come downstairs. Now they sat in the
carriage and Mal fidgeted with excitement. He couldn't wait to
see his dearest friend again. The letter correspondence hadn't
quite been the same as spending time with him like they used to.
Of course, after his brother's death he'd had to return home.
Since then he hadn't had a chance to return to the wonderful
country he'd come to love as a youth. They pulled up out the
front of the manor and he quickly opened the carriage, startling
the footman who had just been about to do it himself. Mal calmed
and offered Myrrhe a hand down from the carriage and linked his
arm in hers as they approached the family. Of course, they were
all there just as how he'd remembered- thought Eir had most
definitely matured. He noted with a huff of curiosity the facial
hair in places and the more built form he'd grown into. Mal
supposed he looked quite different as well.
He quickly jumped to the formalities and gave a deep bow,
"Fekiikiri vur seveleth quellar di aluanas. Si charis wux re
shio persvek bensvelk yinigeld" (Greetings and well met house of
Aluanas. I hope you are all in good health)
He bowed to each family member in turn before getting to
Eir'Asa. His face broke into a grin and he couldn't help but let
go of Myrrhe to embrace the male, thumping him on the back as
they hugged furiously.
"Ava'yorn danthe thurirl!" (Hello dear friend!) He held Eir at
arms length to assess him once more with a chuckle, playfully
giving him a thump with a fist to his peck "Wux tepoha grown
sari quite wer sthyr!" (You have grown into quite the man!)
He gave him a tight hug once more before letting go with a grin.

The years had been longer in Glapera for the Aluanas than most
in the family would like to admit. Recent growth and importance
in the family line’s connection with foreigners had earned them
wealth and prestige, but at the cost of much in fighting within
the family. Most in the Aluanas line wished to separate the
business from foreigner intervention and looked upon the Elvi
with skeptical and fearful glances. Eir couldn’t remember the
last time they were all in a room together where everyone wasn’t
at each other’s throats. Not since his father passed and then it
had only been sitting silently in a mourning chamber together.
But despite the division sown between a once large connected
family, Eir’Asa had begun to rise into his own and take the
charge that his family needed him to take.
A lot had changed in the drake since Malachi last saw him. His
height had reached full maturity, allowing the fully grown ebony
horns to stand prominent against stronger features. He was now
sporting a light bit of facial hair, a style that mirrored his
father’s as it was the only model he really had and he noticed
it made his mother smile. The shyness in the once fragile drake
had been spurned to change by the confident Elvi man of his past
that became a brother to him. Now Eir held his head high as his
dear friend’s carriage was winding its way from the street to
the home.
Eir couldn’t help the excitement that passed through him, the
way he couldn’t stop grinning like a moron. The years apart had
been difficult as the men had tried to keep in touch, but the
letters just reminded Eir that he couldn’t be there for Malachi
with all that was happening in his life. To lose his brother and
then have all that pressure put on him...But that could be
forgotten since he was finally there for a visit—Well for
business but business could wait. Surely he would have time for
a game of cards or at least time for a drink?
When the carriage doors opened, Eir’s eyes lightened on Malachi
for the first time in ages. My, he had gotten taller and his
strange startlingly pale features had still remained just as
fair. But that same vivacious glint was still in his eyes and
Eir could see his confidence stayed with him. He was still his
brother even if he looked older. As he finished assessing
Malachi, his golden eyes fell on the mysterious Elvi woman with
Malachi, one he wasn’t sure of but found curious none the less.
Was she his wife? His girlfriend? A trade partner? Associate?
Either way, he was sure if Malachi trusted her then she must be
good people.
The family returned the bow when Malachi gave it, his mother and
grandmother dipping some from where they were. “Aldoer ekess
hesi okarthel Hythian-ith vur Fevek-ith.” (Welcome to our home
Lord Hythian and Lady Guest) Fen’Ora, Eir’s mother, stated in
her usual formal and tight tone, the colder woman hardly much
for warm greetings and pleasantries beyond formality. It was
clear the elder Draconian woman beside her was her mother, as
she didn’t speak initially but watched Myrrhe with a stare that
seemed to dissect her. Piece by piece her eyes trailed her up
and down before they left the woman and landed on Malachi.
“ wux tepoha ti woari dout manners, drot. bensvelk. si bevi
yenta dout vs’shtak ui native.” (You have not lost your manners,
boy. Good. I dare say your Vs’Shtak is native.) The older
drake’s creaking voice held actual humor, the only emotion from
her that could be felt. That bode well for Malachi, or so Eir
believed. Grandmother only joked with family.
When it was Eir’s turn for a greeting, he went to the hug and
pulled Malachi in. The greeting in near perfect Vs’Shtak did
Eir’s heart some good to hear, which he returned with a chuckle
and a grin of his own at the light hit to his pec. “Malachi!
It’s been too long!” Eir told him with a steady hand to the
shoulder before he gave him a smirk and a shake of his head,
gesturing to the Elvi man there before him.
“si mi saeuth si shilta yenta wer diieson. si ocuir dout trouble
xurwkir tepohaic ti caught svern ekess wux.” (I am glad I can
say the same. I see your trouble making has not caught up to
you.) He joked, knowing that Malachi was good for adventure and
a good time no matter where he was. Surely that hadn’t changed.
Eir then spared his guest a softer look, one that was warm and
inviting. He did however lean a little to Malachi, that smile a
bit more knowing. “ usv nomeno vor ui wer dril wux tepoha
ifpespa vhira?” (Unless this beauty is the reason you have
settled down?) Eir heard Malachi quickly and smoothly correct
Eir’s thinking, flourishing and playing up his formality by
calling this Myrrhe an advisor. Right...Malachi was one of the
horniest men he knew. He really expected him to believe he had a
pretty woman by his side and he hadn’t tried to seduce her? Eir
would play along and simply bowed, taking the woman’s hand
gently.
“Fekiikiri, Myrrhe-ith. It’s an honor to have a confidant of my
dear friend visit us today. I am Eir’Asa Aluanas. But you may
call me Eir—” (Greetings, Lady Myrrhe) He began but was cut off
by his mother’s sharp interjection.
“Aluanas-ith.” (Lord Aluanas) His mother corrected and Eir
straightened, a bashful look entering the drake’s features.
“Lord Aluanas in public, however. Behind closed doors we are
friends though, so please use whatever is most comfortable.” He
then gestured into the home to take them to a sitting room where
they could speak without the prying eyes of his mother and
grandmother. Then things could be a bit more relaxed.

Malachi regarded the grandmother with a curious and humoured
look. It would seem the old woman had missed him- just a tad. He
noted that she had eyed his ‘advisor’ with scruple and distrust.
He knew it would probably not reach a point where the woman came
to trust Elvi. Malachi has only been granted such familiarity
with the year he’d been there and the times the pair of boys had
had to rely on each other for safety and protection. With the
Glaperans respect was earnt not bought. He kept his smart retort
to her teasing comments to himself and instead turned his
attention to Eir’s comment regarding Myrrhe. He leant close and
gave a cheeky wink, “I’m working on it-“ he whispered before
standing straight once more.
He turned and looked to Eir’s mother, placing a hand to his
chest and expression sobering.
“I am sorry for the loss in your family. May the gods keep him
in their care as he travels in the beyond... My memories of him
were fond...”
It pained him when the news had reached him of Lord Aluana’s
death. He’d sent mourning gifts and condolences but was unable
to attend due to the void and work his brothers death had left.
However, he took a deep breath and stood tall again and not
letting the sober note ruin the reunion.
Malachi placed a hand on the small of Myrrhe’s back and smiled
brightly.
“This fine face is actually my lawyer and contract expert. I’ve
yet to learn the ways of contracts and such, so she will be my
guide. Though I’m sure you will also be happy to collaborate.
Shall we go in?” he suggested.
As they walked he thought it best to fill in Myrrhe on the
relationship between himself and the Lord. After all it might
seem a bit odd to be so friendly with a business partner. As
they walked through the hall of the manor he leant over to
speak.
“As a young lad my father sent me here to learn the culture and
build a sort of alliance. Lord Aluanas is like a brother to me”
