MALONE
kill me softly, your hold on me is somethin' i can't explain.
Malone watches her fumble with her embarrassment for a while, though the kind smile of his face never fades or grows critical of her. Having always been an affectionate sort of creature, he finds himself humming softly when she traces the glowing lines along his cheek. A soft laugh comes flowing from him then as he watches her skitter back.
“Glows like you, with your whole body?” he asks as he closes the space she left between them with a few long strides. He reaches out and touches her cheek then, mapping his way to the curve of her jaw and the delicate skin behind her ear. And then he pulls away almost as quickly as she had. Malone laughs once more, pleased with himself.
“Not usually. I have to travel if I want to see a lot of snow. Sylva has too many trees to really let a good layer of snow form on the ground,” he explains, still grinning. “Sometimes I like to shake the branches and make all the snow fall on whoever is standing beneath the tree.”
He does not tell her that it was in fact Larrikin who taught him this trick, nor does he mention that he had been the first target. Azure cannot know all his embarrassing stories in one day.
“Nerine is a good place to visit if you want to really experience winter. Maybe this winter we can visit there and test out your wings?” he suggests with his dark eyes growing eager now. It’s been ages since he made plans with anyone who wasn’t related to him, he thinks.
