Romantic love, no matter how often she's fantasized it after reading a great romance novel, is entirely foreign. But the familial kind? She was once drowning in it, but now its absence feels like someone took a major chunk out of her life. It is colder without her seven siblings to pile on top of her at night, ensuring that she never got a single wink of sleep in peace. The world is scarier without Mother and Father to guide her. She was merely a cub when she was swept away by the rushing waters, and now she is nearing her adulthood. Gone are the spots of her youth, as well as the innocence that goes along with it. She is cold like the void and her heart has calloused--there is no room for trust amidst this vast, unfriendly world. Some part of her knows that such thinking is foolish and cynical, but it helps to cope with the loneliness. She misses home so, so much.
The young lionheart happens to pass by as Stark utters "meet and greet." She halts mid-stride, swinging her head around to regard the older male with a somewhat judgmental (and perhaps even teasing) expression. It's hard to tell since Melantha is not the most, uh, expressive of people. "What about a meet 'n' greet?" she asks with an arch of her brow. "Are you telling or are you asking?" he's lucky that she even bothered to stop. Mel is tempted to keep walking even now. She is not fond of pointless socializing.
