Mal has curled herself into a booth with a blanket around her shoulders, and a sketchpad and pencil in front of her. She seems to be drawing weapons.

Namely swords.

Bother?

"Could be."

Smirk.

"I'm no lady, I know."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"I'm a bastard, and a soldier. Sometimes prince and knight. No gentleman.@

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Huh."

Slow grin.

"Quite suitable, then."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't aware that there was a standard I was supposed to be following."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Oh, the usual - common-born, and the like."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Ah."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"No worries, though."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"So, you're not going to hold it against me because Dad was high king?"

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"High king, huh?"

Shakes her head.

"Not a problem."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Yep. Right arsehole, too. And, good."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Nasty."

Shrugs.

"I was the daughter of a wealthy vampire family."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Disowned?"

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Yup. Put a crossbow to my head and told me to start running."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Family? Sucks."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"No kidding."

Shakes her head.

"Much easier just to leave."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I...couldn't."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

She tilts her head.

"You okay?"

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Just bitter and twisted, Mal."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Know what it's like."

Chews her lip, then reaches out and places one cold hand on his shoulder.

"You're free now."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

He glances at her, golden eyes somehow blank.

"Not exactly."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"No?"

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"No. It's...legends. Written about my family. Can't escape that. Say my name, and people on Earth know who I am."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Huh."

Takes a breath.

"'s good you live here, then."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"People on earth who come here." He corrects himself.

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"...yeah, that'd be a problem."

Sighs.

"Don't really know what to say. I don't know you."
