my heart is violent because it learned how to bleed at a young age
when it is hungry I feed it with shaking hands.

He’s fortunate in that his mother listens patiently while he rambles on and on about the different siblings he’s met right here in Loess. Alita tolerates him following her like a shadow while the serpent twins allow him into their games of tag. Still, he’s calm enough to glance through Meraxes’ thoughts and he finds himself troubled to find out that he doesn’t feel welcome within the family. The gold and star covered boy will have to be twice as kind to make up for her disdain, he figures. (Which won’t be hard since he’s already his eldest brother’s number one fan.)
“I’m Malone!” he finds himself repeating as the older colt gives his name. The foal has already forgotten that he’s given his name in his haze of excitement, a wide smile across his handsome young face. His fluff of a tail wiggles back and forth like an excited puppy when Meraxes agrees that they should be friends. Malone’s wings puff up and his soft hooves dance in place.
But then the other instructs him to watch and he obeys, black and blue eyes widening joyously when his sibling breathes a jet of fire. He does a little jump backward on his spindly legs but a laugh escapes his throat as he observes this small miracle with wonder. Amazing! Malone feels the last bubbles of his giggling fall quiet as he turns his eyes back to Meraxes now, his gaze full of adoration and respect.
“That was the coolest! I can’t do anything like that,” he admits, thought he fact doesn’t seem to cast any sort of gloom over him as he says it. The tiny boy has no need for fire as he doesn’t care for fighting or destruction, but rather enjoys simple moments like this instead. He likes knowing that his brother is sincere in their bonding and not at all like the people his mother warned him about. “I’m sorry Mom isn’t nice to you. I know Dad likes you though!”
He can remember the image of a younger Meraxes arriving in Loess flashing across Ophanim’s mind. There was a flicker of kind thoughts revolving around the boy’s face and the corner of their father’s lips curled into a smile, the same one he got when Malone told him good morning. The young mind reader always sees an abundance of warmth and love within his father’s mind when it comes to their little family. He hopes that his brother can find a way to see it too.
