Livin' on Love / P

She whispered back, uncertain of her brother's reaction. That did nothing more than quell the anxiety in Maaverick's chest. It was a battle in there, in the caverns that surrounded his heart, a battle between adoration for this girl and anxiety of her family. A battle that was soon swayed toward anxiety when the brother spoke up, apparently still in the vicinity. He had been beside her the whole time, how had Maverick missed him!? The boy would feel him bump his shoulder against him, would be forced away as the russet lad made his body a barrier between the pair. The Prince fought hard to keep from reacting negatively as Syrinx uttered a sinister threat. Epiphron would come to his aid, trying to appease her brother's sudden temper. Maverick's ears would flick back with a sigh, but he quickly joined the conversation, hoping to quell any ill-will. "It's alright, Epiphron. I can't say that I would react any differently if I saw a strange male with my sister." It was then and only then that he realized he was standing within Valhallan territory. Just the sight of her and the realization that she wasn't gone sleeping with some warlord made him lose his head! He scoffed at himself inwardly and backed up three paces, bringing himself back out of Valhallan lands. "It seems I'm breaking rules all over the place." He remarked rather lightly, trying to assure the Heir that he had meant absolutely no harm. He longed to sit, to relax his weary-from-travel paws, but was unwilling to do so. He had a sneaking feeling he may be chased out of this place before too long, depending on how well Syrinx would take to their joint efforts at trying to calm the situation. It had blown up in his face, and he should have known better than to even come here, but love made a man do crazy things - especially when that man was still very much a boy. The gentle caress of Epiphron on her brother reminded him of how he greeted his sister. He loved her dearly, probably more than anything else in the world, and could only imagine the fury that burned in Syrinx seeing Maverick touch her as he had. The Prince really had messed up. "I sincerely apologize for my actions, Syrinx. As I said before I mean you and your family no ill-will." Eyes would drift from Syrinx to his sister, the lovely Epiphron. Oh how he longed to embrace her, to have a meeting like they had before in the ravine. Heck, he'd purposely fall off of that cliff again if it meant a day like they'd spent three days ago.
