A friend to Alora

"I didn't expect you to see here," Alaric said as he put the quill pen down and clasped her fingers. His elbows rested on the desk and he straightened his back. 

"I thought to meet Brother Alaric before returning to my residence," Magnus stated. He looked at the parchments and various documents lying on the desk. "Brother Alaric has taken a lot of work," he asserted. 

"Summer season usually has lots of work," Alaric replied. "Did you come alone? I thought Brother Izaak would follow you here," he remarked. 

"Brother Izaak has gone somewhere. I wonder if he has gone out to work or something else," Magnus murmured. "Alora has come here. I thought to tour her around the palace and then, later take her outside." 

"That's wonderful to hear," Alaric lowered his hands and leaned back on the chair. "So, where is my sister-in-law?" he asked with a curious gaze. 

"With mother. She asked me that she wished to talk alone with Alora," Magnus asserted.
