The first time Kaeryn saw Marius in the Harper Hall, her heart lept. There was something about him, something she liked immediately, and then, as they became friends, she realized what it was. He's kind, gentle, caring, and very understanding, all qualities that made him admirable. Their relationship blossomed into a wonderful friendship, even with Kaeryn moving to Ista Weyr and Marius vanishing for several turns. Marius was responsible for Jerran and Kae finally getting together, though, he only just discovered that when she told him she was interested in an older harper, she was actually speaking of him.

Turns have passed, their relationship has continued to grow. Kae is no longer with Jerran, now with T'rell and their daughter, and Marius and Gaea's relationship was on the rocks. After all this time, Marius finally decided to tell Kae that he loved her as well, and this tore her apart. He has always owned a place in her heart, and now, to have the chance to see that relationship happen, but there was T'rell, and she loved him as well. After long discussions with both men, and many days of tears, she finally decided it would be best for her and her daughter if she stayed with T'rell.

Marius and Kae have returned their relationship to the level of friends, if not a little above. Their friendship will always be a strong one, knowing they can always count on one another in times of trouble or need.

Marius
     The man standing before you turns slightly when he feels your eyes on him. His own eyes flickers over you, their deep blue seeming to twinkle slightly in whatever light is availible. A slight smile tugs at the corners of his lips seemingly in time with the twinkle, until a strand of his hair falls forward over his face. His hand unconciously brushes the lock of sandy blond back into place, then returns to its inevitable tapping. The longs fingers are calloused from many hours spent with only a guitar for company, but their constant drumming on any and all exposed surfaces show the agility that resides in them. That same essence is reflected in the rest of his body. Though his build seems light, the word wiry might better describe him. His lithe movements belay any final thoughts of failty, as well as speak of his ability as a dancer. The impulsive young Harper that joined the Hall has been tempered by age and experience, though the grins that flits about his lips might suggest otherwise. The only outside concessions to the growing up that he's done lie in the ever-so-faint shadows that sometimes hide in his eyes.
      Marius's clothing is of a deep, rich blue, leaving little doubt to his craft affiliation. The linen tunic flows down over his body, clinging to every muscular curve. The sleaves end off about the wrist, and the neck is laced up, almost to full. The shallow opening leaves a bit of tanned skin showing beneath the azure material. The tunic disappears into a brown weyrhide belt that encircles his waist. His trous are of a slightly darker hue than the tunic, but are of the same light material. The folds of the cloth outline every inch of his legs before disappearing into weyrhide boots that reach to mid-calf.
     Twin chords of Harper blue wind their way in a loop around Marius' shoulder. They seperate, then meet once more before trailing down in a loose tail. A silver thread that announces his position as a Harper Journeyman entiwines itself in the tail, glittering in the light.
