He thought of her as a delicate creature. All silk and veneer. She pranced around him, steps high and light, laugh so soft and breathless.

She swept them away with her dazzling looks and they haplessly tugged along for the ride.

She was beautiful.

His eyes softened as she laughed, twirling away from the mirror all dressed in fuchsia, skipping up to him with that impish grin, that light in her eyes.

"Come," she said, brushing past him, feather light but still as startling. "I have a crowd to amaze."

And he followed. Silent and still.

"What kind of relationship is that?" his friends asked, furrowed brows and concerned stares. "She just... what? Gallants off every night and drags you along for the ride?"

"It's not like that," Markander replied, but there wasn't much conviction there. He'd had this conversation with them often, nearly monthly ever since he and Aisha had gotten together. "You know it's not."

"All I know is that you follow her around with puppy-dog eyes while she's off flirting with other people."

"It's not flirting." And it wasn't. Flirting wasn't just fleeting glances and gentle touches, gazing up through thick lashes and that gentle quirk of lips, soft whispered compliments that fell empty and flat and eyes that turned away, frigid and cold, just as quickly as they caught and held.

"Uh huh. Yeah, sure," his friend said, thoroughly unconvinced. "Well, when she ends up cheating on you, don't come crying to me. She—"

But Markander wasn't listening. His gaze lit up as Aisha entered the room, magnificent and beautiful as always, her eyes bright and that smile she only saved for him.

"Good evening," Markander murmured, ignoring his friend's scoff as he stepped toward her. "How was your day?"

"Exquisite," she replied, pressing close to him, touching a chaste kiss to his lips. "I think we should have something special for dinner."

"What did you have in mind?"

"Mm," she said, twirling away, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "It's a surprise." And off she went, a whirlwind of motion and color.

No. Flirting was the way her face lit up when he entered the room, a flower turning towards the sun, the way she curled up next to him in bed, whispering promises and secrets and confessions. The way she trusted him as much as he trusted her. It might not be conventional, it might not involve holding hands and moonlit kisses, but it was theirs.

She glanced back at him, eyes crinkling, and he saw all the words she didn't need to say. And that was enough for him.

Markander is remarkably emotionless. He's mild-mannered despite his appearance (and oftentimes people view him with caution due to how armoured he is), often not caring enough to warrent a response to most things. He has friends, though, which some people find surprising 'cause really, he's practically silent half the time. How does anyone even become friends with him when he just sits there and stares? Plus, he comes across as off-putting due to his weird overprotectiveness of his mate, Aisha, and how he practically follows her wherever she goes.

Despite how incredibly unstable Aisha and Markander's relationship seems, Markander never crosses a line. Yes, he's overprotective, and yes, he weirdly follows her everywhere, but he still maintains his stance. He knows where he stands with his mate, and knows her well enough that he never does anything she'd disapprove of. To an outsider's perspective, the relationship is one-sided (Him mostly pining after her while she's out flounting her wealth), but it's not. He's gentle towards her, perhaps not talkative or as romantic as others, but he cares about her in his own special way.

What he shows the world is pretty much who he is. Some gruff, silent guy who weirdly pines after his girlfriend and really sucks as company 'cause half the time he's either not talking or you have to put in so much effort just to get a decent answer out of him 'cause really, how many one-word answers can one dragon give?

H i s t o r y
There's not much known about where he came from. Obviously from the Tangled Woods, but other than that? Who knows. There's always rumors, of course. Like the unfounded one that he's Reginald and Celozon's child, but that'd be just absolutely ridiculous.

What is known is how he and Aisha met. The clan was fairly new back then, not many warriors and everyone had to put in the work (Admittedly, with the way this clan is run anyways, a lot of people still need to put in work), and Markander was doing his best to do what he could. He went into the coliseum a few times, as did other dragons, and eventually he happened to go in at the same time as Aisha. She stuck out immediately. No armour, no weapons, wearing finery that really didn't fit in. So Markander helped her, looked out for her, and sometime between then and now, they grew closer. He was charmed by her, learned to understand the meanings behind her sly glances and unspoken words, and she in turn learned his. Sure it wasn't all that romantic (Who knew the coliseum made the worst place for a date?), but for them it worked.

M i s c e l l a n e o u s
Markander loves Aisha as much as she loves him. It doesn't seem like it, and he only barely seems to put up with her never-ending fashion shows. He always stands aloof from her, never any signs of physical affections or soft touches other couples share. He's just there. Like her body guard. But in the privacy of their home, there's a tenderness to their actions. They're good for each other, even if other people think they're just a working relationship. He's also a teensy tiny bit overprotective of Aisha. Just a bit. But Aisha thinks it's flattering and cute, and since Markander never gets between her and what she wants, she doesn't much mind. It just means he follows her around a lot. And that's just really romantic, don't you think? (Or not. It could be kind of creepy.)

Markander doesn't like Tanithe. Some say it's because he'd captured Aisha's heart, for whatever short amount of time they were dating ("... It wasn't long," Aisha admits sheepishly. "Maybe... oh, I'd say two days?"), and others say it's because Tanithe is a creepy lunatic who kills Beastclans way too much. And one person who doesn't wish to be named claims that Markander and Tanithe are related and part of the whole Reginald and Celozon disowning their children thing. But that just makes the whole thing really complicated because supposedly Reginald and Celozon had Tanithe and Markander, raised them together, then disowned them and now claim they've never had children? What would be the point in that? Who even thought up this rumor? Whatever. This rumor also apparently uses it as evidence for why Markander's so emotionless and cold. Because apparently Reginald stunted his emotional health or something. Again, someone must've been eating some glowshrooms or something to come up with this crazy idea.
