| Solstice (Pt. 2) | “Melidore. Call me that, whoreson.” |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | He half-rose. Deilan and the others of the House of El had not seen Zedalien angrier in all the times they could remember. Melidore regarded him with calm eyes. Disparaging, and fearless. Such that even Zedalien wavered. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | The half-Elf went pale. He sat. Because to stand would be to die. Yet he looked at Melidore, confused. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Melidore relaxed. He sounded…disappointed. Zedalien shook his head hesitantly, questioningly. The fae looked at him, then turned his head, dismissing the half-Elf without a second thought. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Mavika was next. The fae named Melidore turned to her, smiling. He raised his cup. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | The eyes flickered again. Mavika half-hissed under her breath. Melidore regarded her. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | The last were Ieka and Ryoka. The figure drank, and ate lightly with his fingers. Ieka cleared her throat after minutes had passed. Hours? Melidore was just watching the party go on around him. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | But she did eat. She and Ieka spoke lightly; Ryoka explaining some of the nuances of accents. Pointing out treats she knew were based on people. Melidore laughed and spoke. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Twice, Melidore rose and the seven warriors stirred. Then the fae fell silent and the mortals likewise. Once, because a knot of quarrelling fae fought despite his orders to split the coveted pizza apart. The second time—when it occurred that Sikeri had ‘persuaded’ a noble to give her a vast amount of money and artifacts and jewels. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Eloise drank tea with Silver Pines. Grev won a game against three of the fae and they showered him with gold and lies for his victory. Ryoka rolled her eyes and Melidore nearly fell out of his seat laughing. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Melidore listened too. He only wept once. And that was when the tale came to its end. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | “Thank you for coming, Melidore. I’m glad you enjoyed it.” |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Ryoka asked, when she was able to summon words again. Melidore sighed. And that sigh was melancholy. His eyes met hers. And she felt that gaze of summer again. But tired summer. Weary and worn. The fading season. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Her time was nearly up. She had played the guest. And Melidore sat up. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | “Lord Melidore of the Summer Court. I crave a favor. I ask—I ask for—” |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Slowly, Melidore turned. And the fae moved out of the crowd. The dancing Summer Court. Strangers from far. Sikeri, Silver Pine. The Satyrs. They all gathered. He stood in the center of them all as Ryoka looked at the statue of Ivolethe. And the first of the guests? |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Melidore tossed down his cup onto the ground. Grass sprouted around it where it fell. He straightened. And then laughed. He looked at Ryoka with those bright eyes. That smile that spoke hate for the very ground he stood on, and shook his head. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Step. Melidore’s head turned. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | He taunted her. The others laughed. Some cruelly. Others shook their heads at Ryoka sympathetically. But no one was surprised. Melidore turned. |
| Solstice (Pt. 2) | Ryoka Griffin stepped after him. Melidore’s head turned. He looked at Ryoka, then ignored her. She reached for him. |
