"And both of you shouldn't be considering children at all at this point."
between making piper eat like she needed and himself.
"which reminds me, Arthur. what old friends are you reffering to staying with? you didn't go bedding humans again or anything did you? nothing that will come back and bite us in the a** later?"
Hey while elves were good for thier own species, seeing as how women rarely were able to get pregnant, a male elf was more than potent enough to impregnant a human easily. hence the ease of half-elves being born of human women.

She gave him a long suffering look to his sarcasm and shook her head. "I have to be honest with you, I really don't think Malik is going to raze Vesendar for a few idiots but you don't want to get on the D'vinn's bad side and unfortunately Lord D'vinn can be highly unpredictable when his own are threatened. At the same time Lady D'vinn is rather good at tempering his anger and even I have some sway regarding Vesendar because of my dealings there, so there isn't a whole lot to worry about. But the next time you may not be so lucky. There are other powerful leaders out there who may not be so lenient and because of this it needs to be recognized that what occurred today was foolish and those of Vesendar need to remember that they no longer have the backing of the powerful Lloth. I would hate to see one of the major areas of our kind wiped clean." She paused for a moment and mulled the idea over. "You can try but I doubt she will talk to me or come back here. But if you can get her to agree, then I will be more than happy to get the information from her. It's more believable than secondhand, if you know what I mean."

Arthur chuckled lightly and smiled lightly, she had to put it like that now didn't she? "Oh really? That's kind of sad...but meh whatever then if that's the way you want to go about it, though it would be cute to see a little Isle running around." That would be funny to see but he had no control over what the elf did so he didn't pay much mind to it. "Well still I think you'll make a good mother, even with your wild ways you'll be able to raise a kid...sometimes a child needs to be wild." He said with a light grin as he also leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets again. "But yes I agree as for me it would be awhile before I settle down...there is still a lot of things I want to do and try out before I want to raise a family." So he was much like Isle, wanting to go places and try new things but right now he was happy where he was; but he rose an eyebrow again at Isle's words and titled his head to one side slightly. "Yeah that true...are you trying to hint at something there Isle? Or are you just trying to prove a point?" He asked with a small grin across his face. But he paused for a second as he looked towards Malik when he spoke up. "Well I went to go see my old friend Gavin. I made a promise to go see him again since it was so long since I last see him until we went to go see the Oracle." Why would Malik want to know about this?

"Dear I do think Isle is far from that idea at this point." It was funny, she was younger than Isle and already a mother, where Isle was older and wanted nothing to do with having kids of her own at this point. Amazing how different they were sometimes when they had been so close. Though she poked Malik with her fork...hey at least she was putting it to use. "Stay out of what he does Malik you're going to make him paranoid."
She gave a snort. "Yeah, like Piper. She used to be a meek little thing." Sticking her tongue out at her friend as Piper had given her one of those looks. But a look back to Galesen. "I'm doing both." Though Isle did look a little perplexed when Malik got involved and mentioned such things as elves and humans sleeping together...which of course was a concept beyond her and just got a raised eyebrow look as she thought on it a moment then let it pass."
"Yeah I know what you mean. No one wants to believe a drow who's bringing the words of another drow, but I'll see what I can do, maybe talk to the leaders and such. After all, we have our own problems to deal with right now and I'm sure they don't want to add anymore on top of that at all." Shaking his head lightly and running a hand through his hair. "Alrighty then, I guess this is the part where you chase me off for being fresh with you, right?"

"Sadly yes, you know me, reputation to protect and all. Can't have others around here thinking I've gone lenient on those smartasses who try things." She grabbed his hand and pulled him up then wrapped an arm around his waist and easily escorted him to the door. "Find out what you can. Link me when you know. And Nadai," she paused for a moment before kissing him softly. "Thanks for coming so quickly."

He smiled, pointing at her and clicking his tongue as well in that oh so Nadai manner. "Of course, I never disappoint you know that." Giving her a little salute of sorts and then turning on his heel, walking out while whistling to himself, he had some digging to do now didn't he?

"I'm allowed to make him paranoid. there's a reason why most half elves are born of a human mother you know. but, I won't bug him anymore. besides...I get to bug you now. eat your breakfast, Piper."
though one might start to notice a slight shake in Malik's swordhand. obviously Malvolence was trying to get itself fed.

Arthur just rolled his eye lightly at the blue drow, that guy had to know everything that he does huh? Sometimes it just angered him that he couldn't do anything on his own without Malik wanting to know what he did and who he was with. So the elf sighed before looking over to Piper with a nice smile. "Don't worry about a thing Piper I'm not trying to tell Isle she should have a child now, I'm just thinking of the idea and just thought how Isle would be a good mother if she had the chance that's all." His smile grew a little larger as he turned back to Isle, but he had to laugh at her comment and he shook his head lightly. "Oh really now? Now that causes me to wonder just what do you mean Isle..." A small smirk at that as he chuckled lightly before moving so his back rested on the door frame, he had to stay comfortable somehow.

"Or more pointedly half elves are born of human mothers because you males don't know when to restrain yourselves." Of course when there was opportunity to poke at the male gender one had to, especially if you were a female. It worked nicely. Though yes she had an eye on that hand of his, after all she was no stranger to what happened when he went about touching that sword after not doing it for a while, and then locking it away. It got incessant sometimes. But as usual, she didn't say a word about it. But she did give him a frown. "Don't be my father now, you have your own child to tell to eat, " And she wasn't pregnant so that nullified the 'eating to your liking' deal. Ha. But, taking to finishing her food anyway.
"Yes well, let's stop discussing my being a mother because its a moot point. My fertility is in the dirt right now and has been for the last oh...I think it's been ten years since I was all flushed and giggly." The first time experience was not a good one either. Who liked giggling at inappropriate moments, being flushed and hot, and having men stare at you because you biology made it so they couldn't help themselves but to look. Not Isleandra Rainsong. But a look to Galesen and a shrug, let him ponder whatever he may want.

Zahara stood at the counter dripping a sweet sauce over the freshly made cinnamon rolls that she had just pulled out of the oven. She smiled thinking about the surface elf upstairs and the reaction she was likely to give. Zahara knew that Piper wasn't taking confinement too well and she wanted to give her some kind of comfort. Cinnamon rolls seemed perfect. Wiping her hands on a towel, she studied the rolls and grinned. She was in her element right now, taking care of almost everyone in the house, snapping orders to servants when she needed something and making sure all was well. She hadn't heard from Nadai but that didn't worry her, she wasn't even sure she expected to hear from him today. Lunch had been served to all of those in the nursery but she had decided that they could use a little snack. She knew her son was getting tired of being in bed and only so much could keep him occupied right now. Sevilin thankfully hadn't stirred and when she had checked on him last the burn of his fever was gone. Keeping herself busy all day hadn't been hard since she'd gone out and taken care of the horses and cleaned up Sevilin's room, snatching his link stone and disposing of his bloody clothes, while alternately checking on everyone. Now, she loaded the rolls onto a plate and the plate onto a tray with glasses of milk then carried it upstairs to the nursery. "Anybody interested in a snack?" she called as she walked in with the tray.
Zykariel was laying on his stomach on the bed playing some kind of game with Malikhai that involved rocks and cups. He picked up the rocks from one cup and began to move his hand, dropping them one by one in each cup he passed until he reached the 'treasure box' that was their respective scoring boxes. "Your turn," he said to his friend as Zara came in and annoucned she had food. "I am!"
Lharika had been in and out of the nursery all day and currently she was sitting on the floor coloring a picture while she waited for her turn at the game. She too glanced up when Zahara entered and grinned. "I would love some, thank you."

A small chuckle.
"I don't have to tell him to eat, he eats like a ogre. you on the other hand, try to be a bird about it. a full meal every now and a gain won't kill you I promise."
though a glance between Arthur and Isle..before a look at his son and Zykariel.
"How's your arm?"

"I never said I cared about that...and we've been through this before, I just eat at funny times." Piper really didn't enjoy this 'take it easy' thing at all. How many hours had she been 'taking it easy' now? Probably about six or so. The most she had done all day was eat...other than that she was more or less hanging out with the kids and Malik in the nursery. Isle and Arthur had moved off to take care of house things, though they came back every so often to ask a question or something of that sorts. So then what has she taken to? More or less mending one of the various holes in some piece of Malikahi's clothing. Wasn't that cute she was being domestic. "Anyone smell cinnamon?" She could swear she smelled cinnamon. But her attention returned to what she was doing before Zahara came in a good ten minutes later...and was bearing cinnamon. "See, knew I wasn't crazy. If it's got cinnamon, I'm interested."
He was sitting cross legged across from his friend, pretty much repeating what his friend was doing. This was actually a new game for him that Zykariel was teaching, even with a broken arm he didn't seem to be any worse for wear now did he? Though he did look over to see what Lharika was doing...seeings as the pictures she colored were a lot like his. Which was a concept he didn't grasp, seeing as he had never been to that place and shouldn't be able to draw those things. However, a Zahara with food meant a pause in thier game. "Me!"
Sevilin was up at this point, and out of bed even. In fact he had rummaged through the drawers in the dresser in the room, knowing he at least had a pair of pants in there. They were duely pulled out and on, Sevilin easily pulling them to fit by thier drawstrings and tying them off. Hm, he had lost some weight. But a stretch and he walked back to the bed, sitting on it's edge and then rotating his wrist some seeing as it was stiff. Throat still hurt...but that wasn't anything he could avoid now was there? Of course. So what...he had to sit in here all day and be miserable?

Zahara chuckled delightedly, pleased to see all her charges looking much better after she had taken care of them. Of course Malikhai and Lharika really could be out running around and she was grateful that they had elected to keep her son company. She set the tray down on the table where Lharika was coloring. She helped the little girl pick up her crayons and paper to keep them from getting messed up and then set the plate down in the center. Motioning the boys over she distributed the rolls to each of them, settling Zykariel into his chair and then giving them each a glass of milk. Then she brought the plate over to Piper and Malik, bearing a glass for both of them as well. "You didn't really strike me as the milk type Malik, but you might be grateful for it since the rolls can get a bit sweet. Enjoy. I'm going to go check on Sevilin but if you need anything just holler." She gave a smile to the kids, ruffled Zykariel's hair and then left the room.
"Fine." Zykariel replied before scrambling off the bed upsetting the cups with the rocks in the process but he didn't care. Food had arrived and they could always clean up the rocks later. A little miffed as she scooped him up and deposited him in his seat, he soon forgot about it and dug into his roll, licking icing off his fingers. "Yummy!"
Lharika chose to unroll it slowly, savoring every piece and keeping her hands as clean as possible, wiping them on the napkin draped over her knees every few seconds. "This is really good."
Walking down the hall, she came over to Sevilin's room and turned the doorknob before pushing open the door. She didn't expect to see him up just yet and she was slightly startled to see him sitting on the bed. Walking into the bedroom she made her way over to him and lightly felt his forehead and cheeks. Fever still gone. Good sign. "Welcome back. And how are you feeling?" she asked noting that he had already been up and found some pants.

Of course Piper took that plate as it was given, setting it on her lap and her glass on the nearby bedside table. "See, this is a reason why I didn't eat much at breakfast or lunch, my senses told me that cinnamon would be in some sort of snack form today." Giving a smile to her husband that was clearly laced with the intention of eating his too if he didn't go for it by the time she finished her own. Mmmm, cinnamon. "Need I say Zahara your patient care borders on spoiling." Giving a chuckle at that before Zahara left.
Malikhai was all too eager to get up and to that table in the room as well, plopping in a chair and grabbing a cinnamon roll from the tray, biting into it and thus getting cinnamon all around his mouth and even on his cheeks. "Mmmm, Zahara always makes great stuff." And thus burying his face in the treat again, grabbing his glass of milk with the other hand and taking a gulp, then back to food.
He rubbed at the back of his neck and then looked up as the bedroom door opened and Zahara came in, walking over and feeling his cheeks and forehead. Sevilin cleared his throat, knowing he wasn't going to be able to get a word out without the actions beforehand. But when his voice came out it was still in slightly broken whisper. "About as good as I can I guess." Clearing his throat again. "How's Zykariel?"

"Liar."
though a smirk and he handed off his cinnamon roll to her plate anyway, and let the glass of milk sit for now. he was never for overly sugary adn messy stuff. and no, malik didn't drink milk. He was quite content to just watch right now, though dreading the mess that was coming once the sugar rushes hit Zykariel and Malikhai.
