Malcolm continued waiting but heard the worried note in his sister's tone so decided to make his entence.  He put his hands behind his back, holding the gift out of sight behind him, and marched towards the small grom, "Alright, what's all this here?  Did I hear someone say something about a missing brother?  Why someone aught to find that rapscalion and give him a stern talking to for keeping his dear sister waiting." he gave his sister a playful wink.  He couldn't help but notice as well how his sister seemed to have grown a lot more than he remembered.  The cut of her dress certainly gave an eyeful.  He quickly berated himself for such thoughts.
