Though she was relieved to hear he wasn't there to arrest her, the sudden surge she felt from his power was startling, even as she tried to remain calm about it. She'd certainly felt the dull dampening before, so what was there to fear now?

"Well that is a relief, sir, but I promise I have done nothing. I just...would not put it past a cruel person to make false accusations about me given my recent history. Mother has welcomed me back but I know not everyone shares her opinion about me. I just had not realized I would see you...well, a Mordecai, again so soon," Maddie admitted, her posture relaxing as she backed away from her defensiveness.

Leaving the door open, she took just a few steps outside. "To what do I owe the pleasure, then? Uh....Dempsey, was it? Yes, Mordecai Dempsey who-has-no-given-name."

He stared at her passively as she explained, keeping his face neutral as he observed her excuses. She certainly seemed genuine in her protests yet the fact she had assumed the worst still set him more on edge than perhaps was necessary. Lorcan decided to himself that he would keep an extra close eye on her just in case even once she thought he had left.

"One of my duties is to ensure that all mages and other citizens on probation adhere to the law of our lands. You are free to carry out your work. Please excuse the disturbance of my presence as I observe. I won't be in your way I assure you," he formally informed her.

The excitement of a visitor quickly faded from her eyes once she understood he was there strictly on orders. She hadn't expected such a visit to come so soon after her release, but she understood that it was his duty.

Madeline nodded her head in understanding and felt a little silly for greeting him as little more than a guest. "I apologize for interrupting your work, then. It was just very difficult to not notice you were there. Well...not exactly you, more like your presence. It was...very obvious to me, was all. Please let me know if you need anything, though. I'll be inside." And with that she was backing away to return to her home again, feeling entirely silly and upset for confronting a man of authority. She resumed her work quietly, despite the constant, dull presence of the Mordecai.

It was several hours later with the moon shining proudly in the sky that her mother returned home. Maddie felt such guilt over it, knowing she had stayed late to finish the duties of two people at their storefront, but she greeted her as warmly as ever. The younger woman set aside her work and had their supper plated within minutes as she listened to her complaints about her day at their shop. They were nearly silent at the table, but she could not hide from the questioning eyes boring into her as she gave few words about her own day. "A Mordecai is here," she finally told her.

"In...the house?" came the wary, assuming question. "Well why aren't they having a meal with us?"

"No, he's... he's outside. If he hasn't left. I don't think he has. He said he was 'observing' to make sure I was following the law still," Maddie explained.

"Well...I just hope that doesn't become a regular job for them. The last thing you need is more attention about this, and I'm sure the neighbors will start to notice if they're hanging around often. Take care of yourself, Maddie. Behave as you should and I'm certain your life will continue on as normal as it ever has." The encouragement was heartfelt, but she knew it wasn't particularly likely for a recognized mage to have a normal, "human" life.

Once their dishes were put away she peered out into the darkness through a window by the door. It still felt like he was near but she certainly couldn't see him. She returned to their kitchen to make up a small tray of food while she stored the rest of what remained of their dinner. A slice of roast, a bowl of soup, a hunk of bread and a mug of water were set out neatly.

As she passed her mother on her way to the door she noticed she was holding a letter of some sort. Realizing she'd been caught she flashed an apologetic, weary smile her daughter's way. "From you father," she prompted, as if she should have known. "He's invited us out to visit him. Given the date, I doubt he's heard of your...incident yet." The young woman smiled sadly.

"You'll likely visit alone. I doubt I would receive permission to travel so far from home."

"Couldn't hurt to request it, could it?" Her mother shrugged, not wanting to get her hopes up too high over it. Noticing the tray she carried, though, she waved her along. "Go on, don't let that get cold. Kind of you to offer a stranger a meal," she observed.

Madeline didn't think it was overly kind. Rather, a gesture of comfort from one human soul to another. As she exited the house, though, she felt more lost than ever. Her quiet footsteps carried her out towards the road where she'd last seen him, but she couldn't be certain of where he was as his gift lent her no clues to his exact location. "Mordecai Dempsey?" she called gently, wary of drawing any neighbors from their homes. "May we speak for a moment? If you have the time."

GoblinFae

Lorcan spent the day milling about on the border of not only Madeline's family property but also some of the neighboring properties, explaining to nosy neighbors it was a routine upkeep inspection for their safety. He continued in this matter for hours until dusk when he drew the hood of his cloak up against the evening chill and lit his pipe for a brief smoke.

It was not long after he had lit up though that he heard his name being called and sighed to himself before turning towards the voice further up the road from him. Quietly he made his way towards the woman he recognized as Madeline, the gravel crunching beneath his boots. "Yes?"

Relieved that he'd answered, Madeline turned her head towards the sound of his voice and squinted at what little she could see by moonlight. Once his form became more obvious, though, she moved closer to greet him with an apologetic smile and outstretched arms to offer him the tray. "I brought you a bit of supper in case you were hungry. I, um, also had a favor to ask of you. Unrelated, of course."

GoblinFae

"Thank you," he replied, surprised by the unexpected kindness bestowed upon him. "You didn't have to though." Lorcan made no move to accept the food and instead straightened at the mention of a favor, adopting a neutral expression instead of the warmer one he had been previously displaying.

"I am not sure it is within my power to honor any such favors Miss however you are free to ask what you will of me and I will see what I can do to assist if it is possible. How may I be of service to you?"

The lack of reaction other than a "thank you" left her feeling a bit awkward standing there with the tray she'd brought out with him in mind. Still, she held it out expectantly with hopes that the single, positive comment might have been acceptance after all and he would take it rather than leave her with the shame of bringing the food back inside.

"I do realize, and I apologize if I'm putting you in an awkward spot because of this. But I needed to ask... I know it was stated I might receive..."leave" from my arrangement with special permission. My father has asked for my mother and I to go visit him in the south, and I was wondering if you might know how I might go about making such a request. Or is it more your place as the one currently overseeing me to do so? I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with the laws of these things."

GoblinFae

Lorcan nodded his head slightly at her request, his eyes drifting to the side in thought as he contemplated her request. Finally he nodded his head once more in a more decisive manner as his faced relaxed into a more gentle expression, although no smile tugged at his lips.

"I can submit the request on your behalf but I am afraid I can do no more than that. I do not have the power to personally grant your request. I can tell you however that should it be granted you will most likely be sent with an escort to ensure the truth and sincerity of your request given the terms of your parole.

"Do you know when you will be going and for how long?"

"I understand," she muttered, feeling a bit embarrassed to know that nobody trusted her in such a situation. Regardless of what reasons there might have been for safety of others or her own sincerity Maddie knew the heart of the issue was a lack of trust concerning an unstable mage.

"I would still like to try, though. I appreciate any help you can give, Mister Dempsey. I believe...if possible, the end of the week would be when my mother wants to leave. I have no objections to traveling separately from her should I be allowed to at all, though, if more time is needed for a decision.

"We usually stay for a week or two, but I would accept any amount of time that could be granted, if that is an issue at all. Family is everything to me," she spoke with a sad smile, toeing anxiously at the road as she lowered her arms even further, her muscles tired of holding up the tray in such an awkward manner. "All I really have anymore."

GoblinFae

"I can make you no promises Miss Eskridge," he told her evenly, "however I will see what I can do." Looking down to the tray in her arms still, he attempted a small smile and reached towards it. "Would you join me for a while? I hate eating alone," Lorcan sheepishly added, looking bashful and unsure of himself.

"Thank you, I appreciate whatever you can do," she told him sincerely, happy to see a more human side to the usually stone-faced Mordecai. His invitation surprised her, and she glanced back at the dim light of home coming through a window as she released the food to him at last.

"Of course I will," she answered quickly, not wanting him to think her hesitance was because of him. "Would you rather come inside, though? Or do you prefer staying out here?" Maddie wasn't even sure if his work allowed him to enter her home on such an invitation, but she felt it was common courtesy to offer him a table instead of a tray if he preferred it.



GoblinFae

He visibly relaxed more as the conversation turned away from his duties. "I think it is perhaps best to stay here if that is not a problem. I would not wish to concern your family or provide your neighbors with further fodder to insult you." Lorcan knew that while Madeline had been placed on probation for her crimes and sent home, that did not necessarily mean that people would as easily forgive and forget. No matter what the church taught, there would always be those with a reason to hate. Therefore, in his opinion it was best to not fan the flames and drag himself down with them. The last thing he needed was for word to reach the barracks that he was fraternizing with a known criminal absolved or otherwise. Village rumors could be so cruel after all and not even Mordecai were exempt from their hungry grasp.

She had to agree with his reasoning, even though it hurt a little to be reminded again
that nobody trusted her or wanted to be associated with her. "No problem at all," she agreed, an understanding smile there as she gestured at the tray. "Thank you for the consideration. I hope it's to your liking at least," she gestured at the tray with a friendly, hopeful smile.

"Is there anything you needed to speak with me about?" Maddie wondered, still thinking his extended visit a bit strange if she was in no further trouble.

GoblinFae

"No ma'am," he replied as he moved to take a seat on the ground, the tray across his lap as he did. "Pardon me for sitting," Lorcan hurried to add, realizing his rudeness. "My responsibilities today were just to assess the area, ensure everything is as it should be. All routine, nothing to worry about really as long as you're doing as you should be. Is there anything else though you wished or need to bring to my attention? I can't promise much being only a Mordecai myself but well," he trailed off and shrugged his shoulders while wishing that he did not sound so much like a fool.

"Oh, that's alright," she waved off, not realizing he thought it was genuinely rude. She definitely saw herself on the low end of the social ladder now and not someone who was due much in the way of formalities or respect from strangers.

"Truthfully, I haven't noticed much in the way of strange things besides squirrelly neighbors," she admitted sadly. Uncertain if she was welcome to sit with him or if he even wanted company for his meal she hovered near him. She kept wringing her hands and trying desperately to not fidget with her clothes or stare too much at such an obviously handsome man, but she didn't want to part on bad terms with him either. "Is it any good?" she asked, knowing she was putting herself out there for an awkward complaint if he truly didn't like it.

GoblinFae

"Oh yes!" Lorcan declared hastily, forgetting himself for the moment. "Forgive me, I should have said so sooner. Your kindness is much appreciated as well. I would understand all the same if you hated me. I wouldn't even fault you for it. I can't say too many people that I've brought in have been all too happy to see me afterwards. I suppose it's to be expected though when you are in my line of work. If people don't hate you then they fear you." He sighed and shrugged his shoulders while taking another bite of food. "My apologies again though, I doubt this is the kind of talk you wish to hear."

Maddie smiled privately for the praise of her cooking and the way he fumbled over himself and his words. She bowed her head graciously and finally kneeled to take a seat beside him instead of retreating back to her home as her mind had been screaming at her to do to avoid the situation altogether.

"That's a little understandable, considering your work, but I don't fear you or fault you and I definitely don't hate you for honoring your duties. I suppose my only fear is harm coming to me or my family for all of this," she admitted. "And I suppose a lot of people might share a similar fear. Perhaps that is what they see you as instead of a working man, which is very sad.

"Do you enjoy it at least? Being a Mordecai?" she wondered, unsure if he would even answer her truthfully. "It seems fairly prestigious, but truth be told I'm unsure of how people come to be Mordecai. I've only heard stories," she shrugged.

GoblinFae

Lorcan turned his head slightly to watch her calculatingly as if unsure what he should and should not say to her. For several moments he was silent, chewing his food slowly to buy himself more time. He licked his lips and dusted crumbs off his fingertips before finally deciding on how to answer her best.

"It's quite literally what I was born to do. There are different ways to be noticed and selected, different tests and trials you can experience to become noticed. But, this has always felt right. It's where I belong in every sense of the word. I know there are some who wish to join for that very prestige but I must admit I'm not one of them. I'm just a man like anyone else, trying to do what's right and leave a good mark on the world."
