to the residents of the Orkney cottage

Melehan has come to the Orkney's house a time or two, but always with Melou there. Now, without him, he stands at stiff attention at the door and knocks. He may seem purposeful, but in truth, he hasn't any at all.

It's his Uncle Agravain's wife who answers the door. "...good day, lad."

[rebel_son]

He bows. "Good day."

[hardlyagravated]

"Come in. Were you looking for someone particular?"

[rebel_son]

He shakes his head.

Melou will be, of a certainty, waiting for him when he gets back again, curled up in a chair in the room he has decided is theirs, and dozing lightly, but still enough at attention to know the moment his brother comes home.

so the wrong place, plz smack me if this isn't okay.

Pfff. ♥

And he does come, of course, softly, and sits down on the edge of his bed.

[lesser_son]

Melou immediately changes places to sit by him. "Brother? Art well?"

[rebel_son]

"Ay, ay. Art thou?"
