Assassin's Creed: The Crusades (private only.)

Malik shrugged his shoulders "There's many a fine women my age in Jerusalem, none of them quite what I'm looking for, most of them married. I've been too busy to talk to anyone out of the order, anyways." he said softly. It wasn't till now did he really notice most men his age have wives, he began to wonder how his life might be if he had more time. Well, if he dies without ever having a woman, at least he's served the order, that was his top priorty.

Dalia sighed. "...were they pretty?" she asked suddenly, then she looked at him.

[House Stark]

Malik glanced to her, then back to the path they were taking "Pretty, yes, but all too restless and impatient. Women who want kids and a family now, women afraid to wait. If I'm ever to love someone, I want it to be a woman who I know loves me because of the man I am, not because I am one."

Dalia looked at him and smiled, nodding in agreement. ".. I could say the same. people these days just want to rush. We still have enough time."

Malik smiled at her words, christ, was he falling for her? She was 17, what was he thinking? He, himself was 26, eight years older than she. Now he thought of it, they wernt that far apart, but still. It was wrong of him to even think about this. There were more, younger men in the order, let one of then win her affection. "Don't worry, there's some fine younger men in the order who share our ideas about love." he couldn't think of any, but he wasnt too familiar with the younger members.

"Maybe." She crossed her arms. "some of them... I don't even know how to describe them."

[House Stark]

Malik was quiet for a moment, but didn't stay silent forever"What about Eder and Gavri? They're both decent young men. Haytham is close to your age, but I'm pretty sure he has a girl in mind. Nothing is official yet, but I've never seen him so distracted and protective of one girl. I just hope that Iona of his doesn't lead him to his ruin. People do many a crazy things for love."

Dalia looked at him for a moment. "I only think of Gavri as a friend, and Eder... we don't really talk much." she sighed, looking away. "Imagine, Gavri and I together... I'm not sure if that would work out."

[House Stark]

Malik was slightly pleased by her words of doubt, but he shook off the feeling, reminding himself that he can't allow himself to think of her that way. "Give him some time, learn more about yourself and what kind of man you need. You'll find someone soon enough, we both will."

Dalia looked at him and smiled, then looked back at the path they were taking, saying nothing else. She began to think about what he was telling her. "...i'm sure we both will."
