Won't you Shake a Poor Sinner's Hand?

Being raised in a matriarchal society means that Malico is more comfortable allowing his sister to be the boss and direct the conversation with the alpha. But that doesn’t mean that the boy is impolite and he offers his name along with respectful dip of head before allowing Mariah to take over. His posture is protective of his smaller sibling and he is well aware of just how gaunt she has gotten… which makes him even more protective. No matter how much he tries to feed her, Mar just cannot seem to put on weight and it is extremely troubling to the boy.

Traveling has slow but the idea of a chart has already been shared with his sister and he hopes that, when they leave Valta, Mariah will relent and allow him to help her. Mar greets the Sumatar and lets him know why there is some confusion on the Mendacium siblings’ part at the man’s appearance. Kotori speaks, letting them know that Aslatiel is his sister and how she had stepped up when he had taking some time away. Malico bobs his head in acknowledge and, as they are welcomed onto Valta soil, Mal stands and readies to escort his sister over the invisible border.

At Kotori’s question, Malico remains silent, knowing that Mar is far better at handling questions than he is. Plus, he is just here because Mariah wanted to travel and he refuses to let her go anywhere alone.
