A while ago, I wrote a drabble for someone (was it
melodywilde?) in which Medea went looking for Angelo for help, and found Marcello instead. And I thought that would be the end of it.
Apparently, I was wrong.
"You should learn to fight." Marcello smiled thinly, misunderstanding Medea's startled look. "No, Princess," and she was beginning to hate her title, if only for the sneer it put in his voice, "I've no intention of breaking my word. I'll see you safely to one of your friends." His gaze darkened. "But we're entering more dangerous lands. You may need to defend yourself until I can reach you."
Medea could hear Eight saying almost those exact words, anxious and apologetic, but determined she should come to no harm. She swallowed the lump in her throat. "Yes," she whispered, "you're right."
And I totally came up with a prompt that I wish I'd thought of in time for
areyougame. Dragon Quest IV/Dragon Quest VIII, Princess Alena/Marcello: new beginnings - He carries himself like a soldier, but Alena suspects he has never known loyalty to anyone but himself.
Now, off to work.
