She nodded and did a cursory exam over his whole body, feeling both wrists, his thighs and even his neck before rubbing at the back of his shoulders after sensing some stiffness there. "Chomping at the bit to get out of his bed though right now I've distracted him with a snack." She pressed her hand to his neck to feel his pulse and then his chest to time his heartrate. "Stop worrying, he's fine. I'm keeping an eye on him because he hit his head when he fell but I don't think he's got a concussion. Piper, however, I think might be a different story." Pausing for a moment she tilted her head and looked him over then disappeared into the bathroom before coming back out with a brush. Taking a seat on the bed behind him she began to gently brush out his hair, removing the tangles that had resulted in not brushing it after his bath. "I'll bring him in to see you once he finishes his snack but then he's going back to bed and so are you."
Zykariel nodded, "She does." He glanced over at Malik and Piper and frowned still licking the icing off his fingers. "You don't like Zara's cooking Mr. Malik? It's going to upset her if you don't eat some of it. She yells when we don't eat."

"It's a good lie at least." Score, she got his anyway. "You'd be a lot less cranky love if you indulged in snacks like the rest of us do." Already finished with her first one she broke the one Malik left in half...just in case he had a change of heart and wanted the other half. Thusly she brushed her hands off on the napkin that had been brought with said plate and set the plate aside as well with what was left on it. Well, she was running out of things to do. But she took hold of Malik's sword hand, taking to massaging at it as was common place when it had been bothering him. Kept her distracted, hopefully kept him mellow. She had been busting her a** all week to get him all mellowed out and that wasn't going to get ruined now.
"Zahara yells about lots of stuff." Licking some icing from his palm, hey this was something that you didn't waste on a napkin at all. And look how wonderfully blunt he was? It was just so cute wasn't it. But speaking of daddy, a look over to him. "Daddy, when is soon?" Because he wanted to start those magic lessons. Zykariel could do magic with one hand.
He let her touch as she wanted, feeling for anything that was amiss and what not ever the attentive healer now wasn't she? Though there was that concerned look as she mentioned that Zykariel had hit his head...did not sit well with Sevilin at all. "At least I finished Malik's runes..." Hey look he could find something good about this now couldn't he? Sevilin sighed, looking back over his shoulder some as she took to brushing his hair. Wasn't that interesting. He gave a lopsided grin, "What? Miss yours being long enough to take more than two swipes to brush?" Gods, was that just a joke Sevilin? Though the chuckle to follow dissolved into a coughing fit.

"I do indulge in snacks. just not the overly sweet type. grapes are a nice snack. and so are simple cookies or cakes."
Though he let her massage his swordhand. obviously she noticed. then a look over to his son.
"tomorrow should be good if Sevilin allows it. however, I want you boys training on the same timeframe. which means if Sevilin says no, then you both have to wait."

"I swear you have a sugar aversion sometimes. I bet I could get you to eat sugar." Giving him one of those looks that said wouldn't you just like to know. Head injuries didn't damper her in some areas now did it? Thus cracking his wrist but in a totally unpainful manner to him...yes she had been doing this for so long she knew how to pop joints and such. Yes, very well in tune with how to work Malik's body in various aspects.
And those little silvery eyes got bigger a moment and he looked to Zykariel. "Zykariel! You gotta make him say yes!" Funny how little ones found such urgency in these things. After all, it would not be fun to have to wait and they all knew that Sevilin was the one who would potientially say no over something little like a broken arm. Look at him, his friend was just fine. Though that little manipulator look. "You could as Zahara, she'd say yes."

"That's good, means you won't have to go back out there." She continued to pull the brush through his hair before shaking her head. "He's really fine Sevilin. I've been checking on him every hour to make sure nothing changes." By the gods this man was worried about his kid, though she couldn't blame him for being so, she had been worried herself. Chucking appreciatively at his humor she nodded, "Sometimes so I'll play with yours until the urge goes away." The minute he began to cough though she lightly patted his back, rubbing gently adn leaning over to get that glass of water that she had freshened each hour just in case he woke up. "Here, take a drink nice and slow."
"I could?" he asked confused for a moment then he realized what his friend was telling him and nodded. "I could! And then we can start lessons. I'll ask her when she comes back since she's still gotta poke and prod at Miss Piper."
"But Malik said Sevilin. I don't think he's goign to go by what Zahara says..."

That got a raised eyebrow from Malik. Oh really now.
"We may have to test that theory out later."
though he was rather enjoying her manipulations on his hand. helped the pain that's for sure. But a look over at the conspiritorial children.
"Sevilin's word is final. you have to have his approval...I'm not about to have myself runed to a wall because I'm letting you do something."

Well after the whole talk about children and stuff like that Arthur let the conversation drop, he didn't want to press on and bug her about it so he just let it go. So after all the talking they headed out to do home duties, though of course from time to time they popped in and asked questions, but as they went about keeping the house in check but Isle liked ordering Arthur around, to which he also bugged her lightly by poking and tickling her every so often just for fun. Though as they were walking around the frotress Arthur felt a little bored. "Do we have anything else to do?" He asked as he placed his hands in his pockets again.

Sevilin took the glass from her, downing almost all of it in one go before leaning forward and setting it back on the table. Hm, apparently a little dehydrated too today. But he settled again, letting her do with his hair what she wanted. It was kind of nice after all. Silence reigned a moment, though it wasn't too awkward or uncomfortable. "I take it you're not letting me leave this place for the rest of the day, or night, are you?"
He angled a glance at Lharika. "Zahara is his mother, so she can say yes or no too." Giving him a smirk convinced that he was right on that angle...until daddy decided to speak up and ruin it for the two boys and thier quickly formed plan B. "But daddy... you know he's going to say no..." And cue the puppy pouty look.
Oh I see, so the head injuries don't matter when you may be getting something out of the deal, right?" And head injuries sure didn't deter her from her little playful statements...she was just perhaps a bit more easily irritable right now. But still working his hand until she was satisfied that it wouldn't bother him for a while if at all. Though holding in a laugh from thier son's route he was taking. "He's getting good at that."
"Schedules are fun." Tapping him on the nose as she walked past him, indeed a list of things in hand for them to keep an eye on. "Well, you can either help me with the horses some, or you can go train because apparently you're supposed to. That's your pick. What's it going to be? Horses or are we going to go train with one another so I can make up hopefully another vicious lie about you?"

Arthur blinked a few times when Isle tapped him on the nose, she always does that for some odd reason now didn't she? Scratching his head lightly the elf shrugged on her comment about schedules and kept on walking, eventually closing the gap between them as he gave the elf a light hip check as he smile a little; though when she gave him the two options of what they were going to do next the elf barely thought about it before he said. "Helping the horses." Well he didn't want to train today and he really didn't want Isle saying some lie about him that might get him put in a weird position like last time. "I want to go check up on Brahnel anyway." he said with a light shrug as they headed towards the stables.

"Wasn't planning on it but I might let you out early for good behavior." She pulled the brush through his long hair, smoothing it out gently before picking up the longer portion and easily braiding it the way he liked. She knew he was restless just like she knew it was going to be nearly impossible to keep him in bed once he had come back from reverie. "Do you really think you're well enough to leave this room?"
"I can get him to say yes," he said confidently. After all, Daddy never could deny him anything. And if he got Zara's agreement she could help him work on Daddy. There had a been a few times when she'd helped get him what he wanted though he wasn't sure how she did it. "We'll be starting magic tomorrow Malikhai!" Yup, he was excited.

"Horses it is now." Hip checking him back before heading outside. Once at the stables she devested herself of her capes, folding them up nicely and settling them aside on a bale of hay, before going to stalls and opening them so thier occupants could go roam as they pleased. Though she snatched a pegasus that looked like she needed a good brush down. "You'll just do anything to get out of training won't you? Though I see where you're coming from, no one wants to be put through thier paces everyday unless they want to become some die hard warrior." Then a giggle. "And like I said, you're still a baby elf where I come from, you deserve some recess."
"Don't you mean passive behavior?" Clearing his throat again as she continued with his hair, even going so far as to braid the longer portion back up for him. Hm, she must have taken it out beforehand, he didn't remember it happening. But a look back to her over his shoulder. "It's only my throat, the rest of me is fine." Or at least in his opinion the rest of him was fine...though not really a vindictive elf, he felt the urge to get revenge on that staff b***h. Hm, that was a new feeling for him.
He gave a noise of excitment then as his friend proclaimed his confidence in being able to get Sevilin to say yes. But onto wiping the icing off his face with his hand and then licking it off his hand and downing the rest of his milk.

Well yay for Arthur he was able to do the horses instead of training today, he wouldn't of mind actually training with Isle, it's just his body didn't feel up to it right now. Though he had to smile when he felt her hip check him, she always had to get the last check in a matter of speaking; but once they were at the stables Isle went about business of taking off her capes and allowing the horses to roam, though Arthur grabbed Brahnel and started to brush him down as well. "Of course, Malik trains me as if I'm going to become a drow warrior, not that I mind the training it's just it's best not to do it every single day." Though he laughed as he heard Isle words and shook his head before moving to the other side of his stallion. "Well if that's the way the surface sees me then I guess I am, and yes I believe I do deserve some 'recess' from time to time, everyone does even Malik and he's getting it right now. A little break doesn't hurt anyone." He said with a chuckle and sighed lightly as he brushed his horses side, he loved his steed and would care for it until they point in time they had to part, though that wont happen anytime soon.

"If that's the way you wish to see it, but I mean good not passive." She tucked a few strands of his hair behind his ears brushing her hands over the sensitive appendages as she did so. Though whether it was accidental or not one couldn't be sure. She snapped a thong over the lower portion of his braid to hold it in place and then moved her hands to his shoulders once again rubbing them lightly. "I just don't want you overdoing it and putting yourself back down in bed for longer. You took quite a beating and it goes against my better judgment as a healer to let you up this soon..."

"Why don't see why you just don't tell Malik then." Giving a shrug as she was brushing down the pegasus, now more or less finger combing the feathers of its wings before letting it go and turning her attention to another one. This one was pure nightmare, but beared wings and was indeed pregnant, easily told by her swollen belly. There were strick instructions from this one, after all, Piper was expecting a lot. On to brushing her as she looked to Galesen again. "Mmmhmm, in Andal, you're not considered an adult until you've reached your one hundred and fortyith year of life. So yes, you are still a child in that sense. But you're right, a break doesn't do any bad as long as you can get things back together."
A little intake of breath and a noise from him as she brushed over his ears and yes then a nice noise as she took to his shoulders. Felt good to have his muscles worked out like that. "You forget, I've been beat wrose than then and then told to get up and go do my backbreaking chores and I wasn't to complain. Not the best method to build up resistance to this sort of condition, but it worked." Of coruse that certain dislikining of the subject matter in his voice and probably in his eyes as well, before he cleared his throat again. "But if it helps ease you, I'll take it easy...just don't want to be cooped up." Though in all actuality he was worse off than he probably knew and needed the rest.

She continued her knowledeable movements, running her fingers over his shoulders before grabbing a bottle of some unknown substance and letting some drip into her hands. Lightly she began to spread the lotion over his back. A human would feel the temperature change as the lotion reacted to the friction of her hands but he was an elf. He would feel no temperature change but he would feel his muscles soothing and relaxing from the added heat. Even elven muscles reacted to such things. She sighed knowing that he was right but not wishing to admit it. "Yes but that was the past Sevilin. Now you don't have to stress your body more by getting up and doing anything. You can lay back and let your body heal. Although Zykariel and Piper no doubt feel the same way..." But she knew that part of the reason she was so adamant on this is because she was scared. Almost losing him had tilted her existence quite painfully and she had the crazy idea that if she kept him locked up then nothing else could happen to him. "I'll make you a deal. If you stay in bed the rest of the day and night, then I'll let you roam tomorrow, provided you still take it easy." She paused a beat and then stood and walked to the door. "Think about it. I'm goign to get your son so you can see for yourself he's fine and maybe the two of you can entertain each other for a while."
Zykariel was overjoyed when his mother came and got him once again and he didn't even bother to wash his face or hands since he figured his tongue had pretty much gotten all the icing off. He wanted to tell her he really could walk but she was determined to baby him and his head did kind of hurt so he let it go.
The minute they were back in that room though, he climbed onto the bed and grinned. "Daddy! Zara said you were in reverie earlier so I couldn't bother you but now you're up. Can I start magic lessons tomorrow? Please?" He gave his father the puppy dog eyes. "Mr. Malik said that if you say no then me and Malikhai will both have to wait."
"Malikhai and I," she corrected automatically as she picked up the empty water glass and the glass his milkshake was in. "Sorry.."
Lharika took that opportunity to gesture to the bed. "Want to finish learning how to play? Daddy Kieran taught me this game before, I think."
