Ianna sat quietly by the fountain, fingers trailing across the top of the cool water. Coailiann was laying in her mother's hammock, swinging back and forth in it, asleep like a little angel, meaning Ianna was quite alone in the warm sunshine. Which was only warm because she wanted it to be and weather could change at a whim, if it wasn't wanting to be difficult.
Coailiann had become a little cranky as of late due to the fact she no longer felt her sister's presence. She was also a little frustrated that she wasn't able to walk yet and Lahela could. Of course, she had to take it out by crying, screaming, and carrying on.
Ianna was tired of it. So here she was, in a white sundress - very different from her usual nerdish attire, and staring at the water. Her silver hair was loose, out of it's pony tail, and getting a bit longer. She knew it was time for a cut, but she was too busy to do it. It was her first time off in a week, after all. So it hung around her shoulders and framed her face.
Ever present were her glasses, sliding half way down her nose. She was blind without them.

Malen after wandering about the gardens for a few minutes Malen managed to spot Coailiann snoozing in the hammock. He thought about the bracelet he'd brought for her and decided that he'd give it to her when she was awake, much as she'd liked him the last time she'd seen him Malen knew waking sleeping babies was dangerous to ones health. Besides he figured Ianna was probably enjoying the peace and quite.
Moving a little further into the gardens he caught sight of Ianna sitting at the fountain. His tongue darted out to swipe his lower lip briefly, the woman was beautiful. She'd been amazing looking before but as he watched her looking happy and carefree he saw a sort of glow about her that hadn't been there before. " Hello there ' he called out as he approached her waving a posy of violets carefully. Unable to think of a suitable gift for Ianna he'd settled for the age old gift of flowers.

Ianna lifted her head, silver eyes focusing in on the man with the flowers before a smile bloomed over her lips, suddenly very aware her dress was a bit too thin for company. And it was light out.
At least she wasn't wet.
"Hi!"
She felt rather stupid before revising her speech, "Hello, Malen."
Muuuuch better! "What brings you here today?" Silver eyes moved to the violets and she smiled, "And who are those for?"
She truely was a little clueless, wasn't she?

Malen laughed " I couldn't stay away from you two lovelies any longer". He was tempted oh so tempted to arrange for her to fall into the water so he could get a better view of what was under that dress. " Work's slow and I thought I'd bring over some presents a bracelet for Coailiann and violets for you." Violets were a symbol of faithfulness and secret love though he doubted that Ianna knew that. It was probably better if she didn't otherwise she'd probably bolt thinking he was being too forward and going to push her into something.

Ianna didn't know what Violets stood for, but that was indeed a good thing. She would have flushed and been too embarrassed - though she wouldn't have bolted. She wasn't one to flee from a problem rather than face it head on. Not that it would be a problem - she kind of liked him herself.
"Oh! That's so nice of you, thank you Malen...Coailiann's asleep but I'm sure she'll adore it when she wakes and I love flowers....Nobody's ever given them to me either but...."
She was rambling

Sitting down beside her Malen offered Ianna the posy. " that's a shame, it's hard to believe a girl like you never got any flowers growing up." though he figured that if Ianna had always dressed down and been shy she might have escaped the notice of most boys it seemed impossible that no one before him had noticed the person beneath all that. " so how's the shop going?" he asked casually fingers instinctively reaching to glide momentarily over the Succubus wand, he went nowhere without it.

A soft flush came over Ianna's cheeks as she took the flower, looking down a little to the point a few silver strands of hair fell over her face, "Are you trying to make me blush, Malen?" she asked softly, biting at her lip.
She SO was not used to this!
"Quiet, thankfully. Matilda went into a coma-like state...Too many things at once, it zapped her. It'll be quiet for a long while, so I'll have more time on my hands." Her eyes went to the wand, "I see you have the Succubus. Have you thought of a name?"

Unable to resist touching the charming young woman before him in come way he reached out and brushed the silken strands off her face. " As much as you look adorable blushing that wasn't my intent." he said truthfully. His only desire had been o make her smile and chase away the weary look her quicksilver eyes had contained.
Malen nodded answering he question " Kishi is native American for night and Succubi are creatures of the night so I figured it suited her. Of course inevitably she'll hate it and insist on being called something else after asking me how stupid I am for picking something like that. It was in Malen's mind a pretty good possibility so many children he knew hated their names and wanted to be something else.

Ianna had the strange urge to lean her head into the other's touch - though she didn't. She was good at maintaining distance, so she would, simply nodding her head gently, "Well, at least you're not trying to make me blush."
He did succeed in making her look of distress go away, though.
"That's a lovely name, Malen. I'm sure Coailiann will kill me for the spelling of her name. It looks nothing like how it's pronounced..."

Malen laughed " Children are never happy with what they were named, heck I wasn't happy with my name but we grow into them eventually ". He was tempted to pursue the blush comment but decided to drop it , nothing he could have said would have sounded right .Besides he was sure that at some point he'd find it amusing to see how many times he could make her blush in one day. "Still worried about Matty" he asked remembering an earlier statement. he needed to stay on safe topic for a while until he was sure of exactly what sort of footing he had here.

"Yeah, a little bit. But she's...strong. So I guess I get to be too."
The truth was, the woman was more than a little bit worried. She had never seen Matilda in the state she was in, and she didn't know what to do. No matter HOW old she was, she was still her daughter.
"I liked my name, and I certainly like yours. They're different, I guess."

He nodded 'Indeed different but nice not freakishly weird but not ordinary either". The fountain behind them had been intriguing Malen for the last few minutes and he decided that he definitely wanted to go for a swim. The water was so clear and inviting, besides it would give him a reason to take off his shirt. Malen really preferred to wear as few clothes as possibly and lately he'd felt far too dressed.Carefully removing kinship's wand from his pants he quickly pulled of his shirt and dove into the water angling so hit didn't hit the bottom just glided above it for several feet before surfacing." come for a swim?" he offered.

Ianna tried not to gawk - she REALLY did - but...of course, she couldn't help it. Lips grasped for words to even answer the man before she turned her head away and lost out to the dark blush covering her cheeks, "Uh..Sure."
Ianna slid out of her dress, only in her bra and panties before she slid into the fountain herself. And no, she saw nothing wrong with that. She was naive, after all. She had done the same thing for Nai, though it was a little different this time. She was in a sling, and she had to be careful, so she simply let her arm rest on the side of the fountain.

Malen was struggling not to do .. well something. It was not everyday that women got mostly naked to swim with him. He'd had his fair share of the fairer sex yes and he'd seen a variety of personalities but Ianna just floored him. She wasn't a slut but she wasn't one hundred percent innocent either she was just.. perfect. Thankfully the water around him remained cool keeping him from getting too excited which was the last thing he really needed right now.
It was also probably fortunate that she was still in her sling and unable to get too close to him lest he be tempted by her undeniably attractive body and personality and charm and those eyes and those lips and those breasts and whoa slow down do not think that way or well just don't. Taking in a few visibly deep breathes he smiled at her " What no skinny dipping?" he teased though knowing full well if she actually got naked he'd probably lose all control.

Ianna blinked her silver eyes and a flush took to her cheeks again, "Urm...Nope. Sorry?" She offered, smiling weakly. Suddenly she was very aware that she probably did something she shouldn't have done. She was half tempted to slide out again and grab her dress again.
It would be SO easy....But the water felt nice in the sunshine, and she did so love the water...
"Uhm..." she started, grasping for words to say. She didn't exactly have any experiance with talking to men, unless they were gay - as shown by her choice in a friend, Patrick. "Um....How's the water?
Lame, Ianna. Lame.
