A Winter Flame

[Adron Malvern]

Leading Anya back into the manor Adron paused for a moment before he realized something else Anya should see. "Come on." He said, taking her hand in his once again. This time the Count led her back upstairs, into the family hall where their bedrooms were. At the beginning of the hall was where his families portraits began.

"These are all of the lords who came before me." He pointed to the nearest portrait with a smile. "That's one of my eldest ancestors, Asdon Malvern. He was the first Jedi Lord of the house. Though it wasn't meant to be on purpose. He retired from the Jedi Order to reclaim his birth right. He disappeared not long after that though."

Right beside the portrait was a full family painting, showing Asdon's family. "Each lord takes a portrait of himself and one of his family each time a child reaches the age of four." Going down the line Adron finally found his father's portrait. Adron was his father's spitting image, except his hair had a significant increase in body. "My father had this portrait made about three years ago." He gestured to the coordinating family portrait with his own family. "We took that one about a month before my family died....I was thankful to have a recent one."

She was grateful to be in again as she adored the interior of the place. However she looked to him and once again was pulled by him walking with him as she looked at the up coming hall seeing tjebportraits come into view as she looked up in awe

She looked to the nearest portrait as he explained and stared up, it was like looking back on history from a time before this chaos of a time

She looked to the family portrait seeing the many children and the man's wife as she gave a smile and followed him down to his fathers portrait. She glanced between him and the image and have a smile seeing the resemblance between the two. However as he went on she frowned, she didn't have a portrait of her parents...they couldn't afford such...but she could understand it mist be haunting. She decided to try and lighten things up by moving him next to the portrait and made frame fingers as if taking a picture then nodded

Yea right there and maybe later another right beside it

It was teasing mostly, however she did at least to herself wish maybe she could be with him...but She didn't feel it right to ask...she didn't have the courage...

When Anya pushed Adron back by the wall and made a frame with her fingers the Count simply chuckled at her actions. "I suppose, Nuana has been getting onto me about making my portrait....I just don't really feel like the Lord of my house, not yet. Not until my House has justice." Adron glanced back up at the portrait before returning his attention to Anya.

Stepping forward Adron wrapped his arms around Anya's waist, smiling at her as he did. The Count shifted her up, bracing his arms underneath her like a seat. "Anya."

He paused for a moment, considering his words before a smile came over him. "I want you to be around for a long time, so....why don't you just be mine?" He said, bluntly yet truthfully.

"I like you a lot and I'd like to make you happy. So why don't we be together?" He questioned, a smile still on his face as he asked.

She gave a nod chuckling as she smiled looking at the other portraits with a nod

don't worry you'll get them, you have me helping I know my way around a few uh ahady folk that may help

She then felt his arm go around her and looked to his arm with a smile feeling him shift her up so she was almost setting on his arm, she looked to his eyes and nodded

yes adron?

The next part kinda hit her like a train, did he just ask her...her to be his? Hinwstky she didn't know what to think going silent for a minute or two as her mind worked it out before she smiled big and nodded tearing up a bit as she nodded again

yes, I'll be yours...i...i know we barely met and well...i don't care we have I enjoy you and being with you just...i love it

She didn't know how to put it and hoped that worked out

Setting Anya down Adron wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him. "Nothing is ever going to happen to you, I promise." He said with a near deadly intent, brushing her crimson hair from her cheek.

Setting his lips on top of hers he tightened his grip around her while bringing her into a passion filled kiss. After a lingering moment the Count pulled back from her and simply smiled down at the woman, finding a semblance of peace in the woman he had invited into his life.

She gave a smile hearing his words, she couldn't say a think she was so happy but his lips met hers and she melted into the kiss as she was pulled closer hands resting on his back as she then lingered and spoke

it'll be my job as your body guard and now your woman I'll keep you safe and none shall harm you

She said as she smiled up at him giggling as she squirmed a bit just happy, like a flame
