Neo rolled his eyes. “M is an old, crotchety man. He doesn’t think anyone is gonna want to love him. Plus he’s too busy to find anyone.

Braith chuckled under his breath. "Crotchety old man is right. But he really shouldn't be alone Neo. Is there anything we can do?" He thought bizarrely for a moment that he would introduce M to his older sister, but disregarded the thought as an absurdity. He hoped Neo didn't catch it.

Neo’s ears twitched gently under his hair as he smiled faintly. “You have an older sister? It’d be a stretch, but we could try it. As long as she’s brighter and happier than poor old M.” And doesn’t mind very old men.

Braith scowled at Neo. "I was hoping you wouldn't catch that." He shoved a few dishes into the sink and handed Neo a damp cloth to clean himself up. "I suppose I could contact my sister to see if she would be interested in coming to the city…." he let the sentence dangle for Neo to consider.

Neo started to mop himself off. “Sure ya could. But honestly, I’m serious. Do you think she’ll be bright enough to hang out or even consider being in love with him?” He washed off the rag once he was done.

"Maelia is the pride of my family." Braith said quietly, not looking up at Neo. His sister had practically raised him, kindhearted as she was, but also someone who firmly stood her ground. He had always loved her the most because she had accepted all of him for who he truly was. She refused to turn her back on him like the rest of his family. He was sad to remember that he hadn't spoken to her since he left home months and months ago. Getting distracted by his new life, his new lover, had taken over.
"Her beauty and gentle heart make her quite desirable. Along with our bloodline, since we are blessed with strong magics." Braith huffed out a laugh. "She refuses any and all marriage proposals though, she's stubborn and as independent as they come. I think a woman like her may be an interesting choice for M. "

Neo listened with interest. A stubborn woman for a stubborn man was not a good mix in Neo’s book, but perhaps he was looking the wrong way when it came to personality. After all, he couldn’t directly read his twin’s thoughts, nor know his perfect match.
“You can invite her if you’d like. It’ll definitely be interesting. But I’d like you to see her again too.”

(Skip?)

(gotcha)

Braith helped his sister down from the car. They had stopped in front of the palace and she wasn't paying attention to him anymore. She spun in place look around, her skirts fluttering against the ground. "Braith…I thought you said you lived in a nice home. This–This not a home. This is a damn palace."
Braith felt his cheeks color the tiniest bit, but thankfully it was cold enough that it could pass for his skin reacting to the bite of wind. "Well…It is my home. I live here with Neo…" Maelia stopped spinning to glance at him, her brown eyes, exactly like his, glittering mischievously. "Ah yes. King Neo and you the King's Consort. You should have seen mother and father's faces when they read about it in the paper." She laughed, the sound merry and beautiful. Braith snorted as two servants came down to help him with his sister's bags. They bowed respectfully to him before disappearing with her bags. Maelia grinned again. "There is no way that you are used to that. Awwww baby brother! I am truly so happy for you! Show me your home."
Braith shook his head, sighing as he hooked Maelia's hand through his arm and started up the steps. "Firstly, Neo is expecting us."

Neo was expecting them in his finest tailor-made suit with a crisp gray undershirt with a deep blue tie. It was a matter of getting his twin ready.
M must have done something to himself (perhaps worked more than usual) because he was huffy as all hell. He hardly got prepared for the arrival (asking why he should care), and didn’t turn to the door as the guards came up to tell them of her arrival. It was probably just another humongous waste of time.
Neo hung over his twin nervously, his brow knit together.
“M, please, at least act pleasant for when she comes up.”
“No! Why should I?” M snapped at his twin like a piranha.

Braith approached the parlor on nervous feet, while his sister ooed and ahhed over the newly colorful palace. "Braith you really went all out on this didn't you?" She reached out to touch a wall as they passed, the moving colors rippling as she tapped them. "Beautiful."
He hummed in response, praying to the Gods that Neo at least got M to style his hair neatly. He glanced over at his sister, her breathtakingly lovely face calm and peaceful. What am I getting her into?
Sighing he knocked on the door. "Neo, love?"

Neo slapped a hand onto M’s face, who looked indignant for being shut up so easily.
“Yes, Braith? We’re her— eOWNCH M!”
M had not taken kindly at all. He had opened his mouth and bitten his twin angrily. So as Braith and Maelia opened the door, they saw the wonderful scene.

At least M styled his hair all neat.

Braith stared at the twins. M, who currently had Neo's hand in his mouth and pissed as all hell and Neo who looked lightly guilty. He cleared his throat, running a hand through his curls, which he had neatened for once. "Maelia…this is my Neo… and… his brother, M." he wanted to throttle them both, how is it that he became the most mature of the men?!
Maelia looked highly amused as she took in the scene. She was nearly as tall as her brother, with the same curling mane of deep black hair that rivered down to the base of her spine. Her brown eyes twinkled and she dropped into a graceful curtsy.
"My lords…I apologize for interrupting feeding time."

(My Neo)

Both brothers seemed to be in a distinct position of awkwardness and they both seemed to know it. Neo pushed off his twin, who looked ready to murder someone but they both bowed to her.
“Hello, Maelia,” Neo greeted with a smile, straightening up.
M scowled lightly at his shoulder at Maelia’s comment and didn’t say anything.

Popping out of her curtsy, Maelia immediately stepped forward to grasp Neo's hands within her own. Her eyes shown with emotion. "I truly must say it is wonderful to meet you. Thank you for taking my brother into your life." She glanced to M, bowing her head again respectfully, "My brother has told me much about you as well, my lord. He speaks very highly of your position and all that you do for your people."

Braith couldn't use the cold weather as an excuse for his blush anymore. Maelia was always putting him on the spot. She didn't care what anyone thought of what she said or did.

Neo smiled warmly and brushed his lips respectfully across the surface of her right hand in greeting.
“It is my honor. He is a wonderful man.”
M’s eyes flashed and he bowed his head slightly. “And you. Neo has talked about you non-stop, he was so excited for your arrival.” His voice had become smooth and deep, rather than the angry high-pitched one he used often. It seemed to fit him much better.
