STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE | o, bonfire

malphas came, if not only for the drinks. "hahaha, so funny." he muttered sarcastically in response to fenris' comment. he didn't care for fenris. sure, he was terrified of him, but malphas masked his fear with burning anger. a bonfire? he knew that meant social interaction, but he had been pretty numb emotionally for a bit. he was stressed and sick with god knows what, and he didn't want to bother nayru and so he suffered in silence.

"where's the alcohol? if i'm not flat on my ass in an hour i'm gonna be upset," he said flatly, sitting down.  "but.. good bonfire." he had little feelings for iota- he couldn't see her true intentions, ever, and that made him upset. he liked knowing what people were up to. iota was an enigma, seemingly fueled by her lust for nayru. which was fine, he thought. everybody had different motivations. then, he wondered if this bonfire was just a setup to attract the sawbone. there were no good people in tanglewood, after all.
