"Wonderful." Maelia and Braith said simultaneously. They shared a grin as Braith lead the way out of the door. "Come, come. There's plenty of food for us to eat. I'm starved."

Neo smiled brightly and followed his lover intently out of the room, grabbing his hands and pulling him back. “Waaaaiit, I wanna hold your hand!”

M let himself get tugged along behind her, grinning a small grin.

Braith allowed himself to be pulled back, pecking Neo lovingly on the lips. The hand Neo grasped was warmer than Braith's usual firewarmed skin, his excitement was leaking through to his power.

Maelia walked casually beside M, hand still within his. Her eyes were bright at the prospect of new adventure and excitement, but she definitely had better control over her power than her brother.

Neo smiled warmly, not minding the heated hand. After all, he did feel upon many occasions Braith’s heated skin. He pecked back, rubbing his nose on his lover’s cheek.
“You’ll have to calm down, or you’ll catch flame.”

M liked the tingly excitement coming off of the interesting woman next to him. It woke up the long-sleeping sense of adventure in his Soul.

Braith stuck his tongue out at Neo, "I thought you liked it when I did that." He teased, remembering the last time it happened between just the two of them. "Besides, my sister has a way of bringing out the adventure in people. Sop you can blame her." He nodded to where Maelia and M walked a bit ahead of them. "I'm surprised…"

Maelia could not keep her eyes off of the palace as they walked. "Do you like what y brother has done to the palace? He always enjoyed putting color everywhere. I remember we used to get into fights with our paints as children." She laughed, politely covering her mouth with their clasped hands. "It is good to see it everywhere. I am very proud of him…" She finished wistfully to M. Braith had told he he was quiet so she did not expect much of an answer, she just enjoyed the fact that he was listening intently to what she had to say.

Neo glanced up at his twin, whose still tired and haughty profile could still be seen. A slight smile lightened his sharp face into something more familiar.
“I do like it when you do it,” Neo assured softly, smiling down at his lover again. “It’s very nice to sleep with.”

M nodded lightly with a bit of a bigger grin. He looked around. “I do like it. It’s very quaint and pretty. It matches the Palace well.” He rumpled his hair up with a hand, his hair sticking out at the back again. This notion seemed to remind Neo to smooth back his trying hair.

Braith hummed, leaning his head onto Neo's shoulder as they walked. "I shall do it more often then." He didn't want to say it out loud, to jinx it, so he thought to Neo, I think our plan may work.

Maelia hummed, dislodging her hand from M's to smooth his hair down for him before putting it back within his grip. "I'm sure you're used to it my now, my lord. Since you spend most of your days here. What is is that you do? Braith told me vaguely, you know how he can be."

Neo rubbed his thumb on the back of Braith’s hand. I know. It’s wonderful, He commicated in return, smiling. I think it’s farther along than what we first thought.

M set his free hand on his smoothed back hair, smiling bashfully. “What I do? I’m certainly not a lord. I’m just Superintendent of the Detective Agency. And Head PD. It’s fun, but it’s a lot of work.”

I'll say, Braith thought back. He truly loved communicating with Neo this way. It was a lot easier to get his emotions and thoughts in order. I may have finally found the one to tame my stubborn sister. Who would have thought it would be your brother? He snickered.

Maelia tilted her head to the side, dark curls spilling over the skin of her exposed shoulders. She had worn her favorite off the shoulder gown to get some sun, but she was a bit self conscious about the skin she was showing. She did not expect the King's brother to be so handsome. I should have dressed more appropriately. She glanced back at Braith, who wore neat trousers, a nice casual shirt and a blazer. Oh…perhaps I am fine. "But you are the King's brother, doesn't that make you a Lord?" She smiled at M, trying to figure out how this all worked. "I cannot imagine that there is much crime here. The city is wonderful. Or am I just blind to it's underbelly?" She asked conspiratorially, glancing about M in a silly manner as if she would spot a burglar lurking about.

Neo chuckled softly, squeezing his hand. Like I said. M can be very sweet if he wants to be. He’s truly a very kind person.

M smiled a bit and looked around. “There isn’t an underbelly. It’s just the beautiful town of Isla. It’s one of the safest places in town because of Neo, the Department and I. It’s quite nice. And no, I wouldn’t be. I’m a consult. All I am is his twin.” He shrugged, flicking a small curl of hair out of his face. The lock of hair shinmered a gray in the sunlight.

Figures he would be sweet to my sister. Do you think he will like me more now? Braith mused, tapping a rhythm out on Neo's bicep.

Maelia pretended to be shocked, "No underbelly, but how ever will I be a damsel in distress so that you may save me?" She was teasing him, but found herself to be quite enamored with his pride over keeping his people and city safe. "Hmmm. I do think being his twin is still quite important." SHe said a bit more seriously. "Family is everything."

Don’t “figures” him. It’s the first time in months I’ve seen him with a smile on his face. He seems to really be enjoying himself. Maybe. Maybe not if you keep treatinf him the way you have been. Neo nudged Braith gently.

M glanced at her when her demeanor changed and he nodded. “Of course it is. It’s the only thing you can’t choose.” He lightened up again, thinking about the first half of her response. “You won’t have to be.” He laughed softly.

Braith sighed. Neo was right and he knew it. He hadn't been entirely kind to M either and their relationship was strained because Braith was such a hot head. I will apologize to him when we return home. His mind voice quiet, ashamed.

Maelia met M's gaze with a smile. "Because you will protect me always." She said simply and casually, as if she had been saying it all her life to him. Her hand warmed a bit more in his.

Neo rose his hand and pressed his lips to them. It’s alright, dearest. Don’t feel bad.

M met the meet with a even bigger grin. “Of course I will. No hesitation.”

Braith smiled only the tiniest bit. He still felt guilty no matter what Neo said. "What are we hungry for?" He asked this time out loud. They were approaching the stretch of resturants and he didn't think his sister or M were paying much attention anymore.

Maelia bowed her head, teasing once more. "I am honored." She when she raised her eyes again, she told M "You are not what I expected at all. My brother certainly painted a strange picture of you when we spoke."

Neo hummed softly, looking up. “We might go down to Cameron’s again. His food is amazing.”

M blinked at her, tilting his head. “I don’t know how to take that, my lady.”

Braith's eyes lit up. "Yes please. Comfort food a million times better than mine? Of course that's where we are going!" He hummed, please with how the day was progressing.

Maelia snorted delicately, looking a bit unlady like. "If you are no lord than certainly, I am no lady." She leaned closer to M, squeezing his arm in a gentle hug. "I only mean to say that Braith made you sound like a crotchety old man. This you are certainly not." She laughed. "Although I'm not surprised, Braith is good with art but terrible with people."

Neo rolled his eyes and nudged his lover. “Come onnnn. Don’t be that way. Your food is amazing too.”

M rolled his eyes and let himself be pressed to her with not much reluctance. “You most certainly are a lady. And Braith is right to call me so. It’s all I have been for the past few weeks.”

Braith preened under Neo's compliment. He was getting better, considering a half a year ago he could not cook at all. Has it already been so long?

"Would a lady do this?!" Maelia called as she spun away from M. When she was a few steps ahead of him, she winked over her bare shoulder and began to spin in place. Her skirts flared, long curls lifting and shining in the sunlight. She laughed, raising her hands above her head, releasing a fountain of flames from her finger tips.

Braith stopped next to M, looking as if he as trying not to smile. "Show off!"

Neo chuckled softly, rubbing circles into his lover’s back. It has been. Six months. He paused next to Braith, nudging him,
“Hold you tongue, oh rude brother.”

M had stopped and looked quite curious. His mouth fell open lightly as he watched the licks of flame sparkle in the midafternoon air then shimmer out prettily.
“Wow…” He breathed softly.

Braith chuckled, nudging Neo back. "She always makes things look so pretty. Meanwhile I'm bursting into flames all the time." Case in point, he ran a hand through his neat hair, messing it up thoroughly, and a happy river of embers fluttered out.

Maelia completed a final spin before walking somewhat drunkenly back over to the men. She grinned, happy and full, even though she pressed a hand to her temple. "Oof. Dizzy."

(IT GOT PRETTY DAMN CLOSE)

Neo chuckled and nudged him in return. “Sure sure. Your flames are still very nice, though.” He beamed at Maelia. “Nice flames, my lady.”
