Kevyn sat quietly by the estate pool, calmly watching the argument between Quinn and Grandpa taking place inside the house. There were few times Quinn got riled enough to challange the older man but when he did it often proved to be more entertaining then not. Well at least until it escalated to the point where blows would be exchanged, not that it happened often, probably one two or three times in the past. And if it came to that Kevyn was usually quick to intervene before anyone could get seriously hurt.
But until then this was proving to be quite a show, or at least it had been for the last 2 hours already.

"You want me to WHAT!"  "I don't know why you object so much. Lady Estel's girl is a wonderful match." "BUT MARRIAGE!" "My dear boy do lower your voice." "NO I WILL NOT! HOW CAN YOU JUST DECIDE SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITHOUT CONSULTING ME FIRST." "You will or I will make you. And I can decide this since I am you legal guardian and it is something that must be done." "This is complete Kathbaelac!?" ] "QUINN!" He snapped harshly, and Quinn quickly snapped to attention, exactly as he'd been train to. "Watch your language Boy! Lady Estel's family is fovorite of the King, just as ours is, and a union between us is something that He has wanted for quite some time. With her wealth and our military connections it is a union that will be benifical to us all. Now the terms have already been met." He glared hard at his grandson, "This union will take place Quinn. Reguardless of your feelings." "But..." "NO BUTS!" His gaze softened, putting a hand on Quinn's shoulder, "At least meet the girl. I have arranged for her to live here, on the estate, in the guest house until you are both ready to live as man and wife. So take some time get to know her, she really is a wonderful girl. I think you will like her and that you will be fast friends, and given time something more." "But how can I marry someone I don't even love." Quinn put his head down, fighting his temper. "Love has nothing to do with it Quinn. It's all about connections. But if you are lucky, given time, you will learn to love her and she you. I'm sorry Quinn, this is not something I wanted for you, but these orders come from the King himself and this is the best I can do." He was not unsympathetic to Quinn feelings, but what had to be done, had to be done. And there was no arguing with the King, even if he was an old friend. "Is it something she wants?" Quinn asked quietly Now that took the older man back a bit. What an odd question to ask. "Honestly I'm not sure. I have yet to speak with the Lady myself." He said. Quinn nodded and took a step back looking his Grandfather straight in the face. "Then tell the Lady Estel that I accept the union and I look forward to meeting her daughter." He said formally then turned and left in the direction of the pool. Shaking his head he turned to the portrait of his wife "I wonder, darling, what you would do." His own marriage had been arranged but in the end it had ended up being the best thing he could have ever asked for. Now he could only hope that Quinn's would be the same.

Kevyn eyed her brother as he stormed over to the pool and stared out over the water. "Quinn?" She asked.

Kevyn laughed "Who couldn't? I think you might have even woken people in the next province."

"Can you believe this?" Quinn growled more to himself then anyone.

"Yep." Kevyn said lightly, trying to brighten the mood. And by the look on Quinn's face it wasn't working. Sighing Kevyn got up from her perch by the pool and stood beside him. "Is it really so bad?" She asked him.

Quinn stared at his sister, stunned, "How can you ask me that?"

"Simple. My brain thinks of a question and my mouth asks it." Kevyn said.

"Not funny." Quinn snapped, in no mood for Kevyn's odd sense of humor.

"I wasn't trying to be." Kevyn flared back, they stood in silence for a while until finally Kevyn decided to break it. "Seriously Quinn. I've met Anara, she's a nice girl, you could do alot worse for an partner. You could be engaged to, what's her name, the one that was here in the winter."

Quinn shuddered, he remembered that annoying little chit all to well. She couldn't get off of him while she was here, worst thing was she ended up being some cousin or something. He really wasn't sure as he spent most of that winter playing hide and seek, trying to avoid her. "I guess so."

Kevyn put a hand on Quinn's shoulder. "If nothing else, at least just talk to her before you decide if this is a bad thing or not."

Quinn sighed, "Alright. I'll go anlong with Grandfather," then muttering to himself, "but I don't have to like it."

"No one is asking you to." Kevyn said hugging her twin. "Come on..."
