Aria and Malachi were laying in their bed. If they had been above Hell, early morning sun would have been shining through the window but they were instead nestled in the pallor of brimstone light. The two had a long conversation over the last few days and decided that he was going to step down from the Throne. As hard as it was to take a back seat, they'd decided that their children were old enough and it would give Malachi a chance to train both of them.
"I asked them to both be here for brunch." She told him as they lay there with a soft yawn. "Which means we need to get up soon."

Malachi lay still for a few more moments as his wife streched like a cat alongside him. He'd made his decision, but didn't quite know what he'd do with himself without an army to oversee. He'd been a sildier all his life, and retirement remained a foregin concept to him. Yes, he had a few more months of handing over the reins, but the future streched ahead of him like a scary abyss in many ways as well...
He slid the palm of his hand slowly down the length of Aria's spine, hand coming to rest at the sensitive point at the base of her spin. He didn't speak- he'd never been a talker- but he new his wife understood his trepidation.

She rolled over him and sat up, fingers reaching to cup his face. "Whatever will I do with you?" She teased and then smooth the furrow of his brow with her thumb. "You know, a few months off- We could travel and such." She was running out of things because really, she and him had lived these lives of duty and obligation.

" I few years alone, more like." Malachi said, the corner of his mouth turning up in a semblance of a smile. "But what do we do after that my darling? I don't think I have the temperment to live a quiet country life like my parents do." He rolled onto his side and propped his head in his hand to bring his eye leve closer to her own.

"Oh I don't know, Mal. I mean, I'll still be working as a succubus and you, why don't you talk to your Dad? You know Luc has never stopped dabbling despite the fact the Queens made him retire. He could probably put you back in with the Aegean." She kissed him playfully, "No matter what I'll try and keep you occupied."

"I appreciate the effort." Mal quipped, though his face was still lined with gravity. "From simple solder to King to simple soldier once again. I've come full circle."
He leaned up and kissed Aria, hand sliding up her back to tangle in her long, blonde hair. "At least I get to keep the queen."

She giggled, "I am nothing special without you, my King." Her big blue eyes starred into his dark ones. "But we do need to get up soon. Freya, Delly and Tyr will be here."

Malachi sighed and kissed her forehead one last time before rolling away and sitting up on the edge of the bed. "I suppose so." He said, streching his arms above his head before rising to his feet.
