The feint didn't work, nor her strike at his jaw. he stood his ground and just angled his upper body to avoid it. but the one for the back of his legs, due to the angle he was positioning, landed hard on his knee, jerking his leg to the side and indeed bringing him down into a roll on his side, getting himself back up with a limp. obviously dislocated his kneecap, as you could see it not in the place it was supposed to be. Of course the banshee aura zapped her lower leg in retort.
"Not bad at all."
Leaning down and grabbing his knee, and with a sharp jerk and a muffled yell through gritted teeth, relocated his kneecap.
Broog blinked, and then shrugged and moved toward the specified room. and when he saw the tea setup, he really did get an utter confused look on his face.
"Dis is a partee?"

"They know, they just choose not to and make us suffer. Though usually they make it up to us too. Some more easily than others. Before the bond between me and Malik was solidified, he couldn't fully feel what was going on with me, now he does and I don't have to tell him how much it hurts, he can feel it for himself. But he still does it anyway. Men will be men." A look to Arthur though. "Humans are more open in that field I guess...I don't know, I never really socialized much with anyone. True or not Arthur?" But her look turned back to Zahara. "You'd go on a butt kicking spree huh? Sounds fun. Isle and her family use a brand of magic that controls the very air itself. It's amazing what they can do sometimes. If a Rainsong wanted, they could pull the air right from your lungs." Looking back down at the arena as they started at each other...and she didn't need to see that. A point at the man in the arena and a look to Zahara. "See, things like that."
He shouldn't be runing, really really shouldn't. But he didn't want his son hurting, so he would pay the price. Shifting his hold on the boy he set him on the edge of the table and then got up, getting a class and taking it over to the fridge. Covertly he wiped a bit of blood that trickled from his nose before pouring the child a glass of milk and coming back to the table with it, handing it to him as he sat back down and pulled the child back into his lap. "We'll see how the milk does first."
"I try. That looks out of place Malik." Cringing lightly as he took the liberty to fix what was out of place. "Ow that looked like it hurt." Though she looked down to her own leg...great another thing she couldn't really feel now and hurt like no tomorrow. Damn, he had her...though she wouldn't admit it. Any strike to Malik meant she'd have to pay for the blow. Pity Isle didn't know when to quit. "Gonna start throwing your own or are you gonna just rely on that fancy little aura of yours." Also didn't know when to stop egging people on. When she wanted something she would do most anything for it.

Yeah making it up to her? Zahara didn't see that one happening. Instead she saw a fight. Seh would b***h at him, he would go quiet and broody on her and they wouldn't speak to each other for a few days. There would be no making up involved. Maybe it was a married thing? Or maybe it was a love thing, she didn't know. "And idiots will be idiots." Though a raised eyebrow. "How nice. Remind me not to get on Isle's bad side. I rather like the air in my lungs where it belongs." Of course she grimaced as Malik popped his knee back into place. That was lovely but that was drow. "That's just the drow tenacity coming through. We don't stop until we are two steps from death and even then we'll try to patch ourselves up and come back for more."
"Are bleeding again? I saw your hand raise Daddy..." He took the glass and let the cool liquid slide down his throat before offering it up to his father. "Will this help? Stop the bleeding or no?"
Lharika giggled, "Of course silly. It's a tea party. Now, you sit there." she pointed to the much bigger chair and I sit here. And then we've got Nym and a few others here as well." She petted the ferrets head and then placed a biscuit on Broog's plate. "How many sugar cubes would you like your tea Mr. Broog?"

"Yes it did. Alright...ready then?"
And he shadowed over, and really put the heat on. his strikes started out as flat palms, fingers pointing at her, but once they got close they were jerked into fists. using the speed and aerodymaics of a flat palm to give more force to his punches. Of course his banshee aura was going to fade in afew minutes or a few hits, whichever came first, so might as well play more. aiming for the body, jaw, and many open palm jabs with his tumb or sharp strikes with two fingers at pressure points in the jaw, neck, and arms. his feet were constantly trying to trip her up, catch her ankles or her shins, as well as move around to limit her own mobility.
"Wut's tea?"
sitting down int eh chair he was told to sit, even though it still groaned some from his weight. Ogres were not light. and he looked at the biscut, and picked it up, and ate it without much thought about it.
"Sugah? Broog wants lots of sugah."

Arthur was watching silently as Isle and Malik continued to fight and smiled a little when the drow got his kneecap dislocated and he tried hard to keep a laugh from coming from his mouth. Though when Arthur heard his name he turned slightly and shrugged. "Humans can be like us, stubborn when it comes to showing how much they are in pain but there are times where they will show how they truly feel." He gave another shrug to that before turning back to the fight, if Isle can win...oh he hoped she can win.

Oh yes, she was going to have to deal with that later tonight wasn't seh? Of course. At least the child didn't see that one happen...it would of just upset him. Or worse, give him ideas that he could do the same. "Well, she can't do that yet, but I've seen Lateef demonstrate it a time or two. It's freaky." A look over to Arthur again. "HUmans are fickle things."
Just a little, my runes are being mean again." Sniffing to draw blood up his nose to dump it down the back of his throat and swallow. Ew, but it worked. But to oblidge his son he took the glass of milk and took a drink from it too before handing the glass back. "It helps, cools the burn." Watching the child a moment. "Better?" And then pressing a finger to the boy's lips a moment. "Don't tell Zahara, okay?"
Truth be told, Isle was fully unprepared for the force that Malik could be...let alone any drow on the street. He turned up the heat and she could barely keep up, partly from having her mobility already halved from the feeling in her leg lacking. So yes, Malik was getting in a lot of hits, espcially since her arm wouldn't let her block and a hit that she would make only got her zapped once or twice more. Not a fun thing.
Though she had learned a valuable lesson now hadn't she? Don't egg on a drow. Or at least drow like Malik. But she held her own for a good fifteen minutes longer, getting in her own hits on his person as well. Another pause between them found her all banged up and disheveled, but she didn't look like she was going to quit...despite almost not being able to stand at all...

"It sounds quite freakish." She glanced at Pipe a moment and chuckled, "I'm surprised you haven't asked how my revelation went upstairs yet. Aren't you curious?" Before yet another wince at the arena. "He's not taking it easy on her at all, is he. Though that's Malik. You get what you bargain for..."
"Then you should show them who's boss." Now where had he learned that one? Three guesses. He held the tall glass in his hands and then took another slow drink. Then he giggled and almost choked but coughed and got his breath back. "I won't tell her. I don't want you to get yelled at when you were just trying to help."
Lharika giggled, "You're supposed to take smaller bites Mr. Broog. Manners matter." Then straightening up she picked up her little teapot and poured him a cup. "This is tea. It tastes really good." then she dropped four cubes of sugar into it and handed the delicate cup to him. "Enjoy. So Mr. Broog, are you enjoying yourself?"

Arthur looked at Piper and gave her a small shrug. "That's what you think, humans are pretty good creatures...they may not be on the same level with us but still got some good things that set them apart. I respect them to a degree." He said with a small chuckle and sighed as he watched Isle, she was doing alright but if she could of find a way to get past him or a weakness she would be set.

"Didn't say they weren't good, just fickle. I knew a good human or two." Letting her look turn to Zahara. "Well I don't like to poke my nose into other's business but if you insist, how did it all go with the menfolk Zahara?" Slight look to the arena. "She wanted the real deal."
"They are the boss son." Giving him a chuckle and a pat on the head. But then a nod as well. "Right, our secret and this way she doesn't have to find out that you indeed ate too much batter...so you can have your cookies later after dinner tonight."

Malik backed himself up, readjusting his nose, yeah that stung, and moving a bit to get the bruised areas some motion and know just how nasty that was going to be. But one look at Ilse said she was easy picking. so wiping the blood from his nose, and sniffing some back, gave her a grin.
"You still up for some more? Or have you gotten enough Tier'dal for now?"
though a kick in the dirt.
"and look. no mud."
Broog looked at the cup, and tried very hard to take it without breaking it. his fingers just weren't ment for delicate things. and drank teh tea down in about a second. after all, a cup for broog was a tankard to most.
"Dis ish good!"
Broog gave his usual smile.
"Broog enjoying himselfs. Can broog have more cookies and tea drinks?"

"Well Zykariel was overjoyed and Sevilin didn't object. He did tell me that if I went back on my word one time that was it and I was permanantly done. No more chances. Period." She settled back once again into her chair. "Which I can understand since he doesn't want Zykariel hurt again and neither do I. But you get to be my teacher according to Kariel. Anytime I don't know waht to do, I'm supposed to ask you. So be prepared." She shook her head and watched then raised an eyebrow. "Will she back down or keep going?"
He finished up his milk adn set his empty glass on the counter before relaxing back against him. "I forgot about that! I want my cookies after dinner. Nope, my lips are runed!" Thus showing a gesture much like the 'sealed' ones humans used.
"Oh I'm so glad you are! although, you should say please, Broog but of course you can." She happily poured him some more tea and handed him a few more biscuits. "You can have as much as you like. That's what you do at a party, silly."

"Don't mock...I can still give you mud." Oh yes yes she would...if she had any feeling in her hands. Hitting Malik got her zapped, but hitting him was also like slamming a fist into rock. Not pleasant. But she shook her head, stubborn as she was. "I can still stand, I'm not down yet..." Oh so going to look horrible in the morning when her pale skin was going to reflect her beating.
----
He gave a yawn or sorts, opening his eyes and snuggling against his mother, fingers tightening around her collar some before he sat up and looked at her, gave her a nuzzle then sat back in her lap moreso on her knees, facing her as he rubbed his eyes. A look over his shoulder to Isle and daddy, then back to his mother. "Who's winning?"
A look to her son, giving him a fond smile and a kiss on the forehead when he nuzzled at her, before petting through his hair lightly and fixing it some. "No one's winning, they're practicing." Though a familiar feeling of soemthing, what was that? But her attention flitted back to Zahara. "Duely noted, and don't be afraid to ask anything, even if you think it's stupid." Back to the arena. "No, she never does."
Sevilin chuckled once more. "Good boy. Now, are we going home tonight or are we staying here again tonight? We can stay if you want, I have no problem with that." Giving the boy options as usual and so on. After all, the kid needed to be settled and they had to pack up Zahara's junk anywya.
"I'll be back, go visit with Serino." Giving Nerian a pat on the neck before heading inside. Hm, seemed all quiet in here. Usually by this time people were up and about...or maybe he got his time wrong...again. He raised a hand to brush rather short strands from his face, damn hair. Kieran's hair was no longer down his back as usual...no it barely fell down to his chin at the moment...he hated it. Stupid situations that lead to having to get stupid haircuts to keep from looking even more stupid. So his hair just framed his face now, blue falling as it wanted more or less.
His ears eventually lead him to the library, and look at that Lharika and Broog were having one of those little tea parties. How cute. He merely leaned against the doorframe for the moment, trying to hold a chuckle in.

"I will keep that in mind. No question is a stupid question, doesn't Kieran say something like that? Sounds like him." But she gave a smile to Malikhai before looking back to the arena. "She's going to bruise horribly..."
"Mommy said we had to stay another night and we're not goign anywhere wihtout her so I guess we're staying, right? And then tomorrow we can move her stuff back home with us where she belongs."
Lharika giggled again adn nodded. "Tea parties are so much fun." Then a bond signal and she turned. "Daddy Kieran!" Thus up out of her chair adn running over throwing herself at his legs, knocking her little circlet askew. "What are you doing here?" Before pouting. "Is Piper tired of me already?"

"Yes he does, and yes she is. Though probably not as bad as I do...after all, I've been in the dark for twentey five years, I'm a bit more pale than her. But they're going to show up right good, every little impression adn strike mark. Don't you have a salve for that or something. Though knowing her she'll struct around wearing them proudly."
"Then staying it is." A nod to his son. "Then we can move her stuff back to the house. Are you happy now that you have Zahara?" He wanted reinforcement on these kinds of things.
He chuckled and picked her up, it was funny to see Broog there having one of her little parties. Highly amusing...almost as funny as his damn hair. Yes he was very pissed about that...boy could confrontation get interesting. "No, I got no letter from your sister. I just got that free time finally. Where is everyone?" But a look to Broog. "And how are you doing Broog?"

"Yes but it will take a day or two to really be noticeable. Tomorrow she's going to look like somebody beat her to hell which is essentially what happened." She smiled wryly, "Remember this Piper, I've got a potion or salve for everything you could possibly ever imagine."
Zykariel nodded, "Yes. I wanted her to be my Mommy for a long time. Though she looked a little confused when I told her that she always was. I guess she wasn't ready for me to say that." he shrugged lightly before asking another question. "Daddy, do you think she meant what she said when she said she loves me or was just repeating what I said to make me happy?"
She fixed her circlet and threw her arms around his neck hugging him tightly. "I missed you." She was thrilled that Piper hadn't written him a letter though, that would have just broken her little heart. "Well good." Then she recited happily. "Malikhai and Zykariel had magic lessons today so I think they're all downstairs where I'm not supposed to go unless I have an adult. So I was in reverie late today and I decided to have my tea party with Broog instead. Want to join me Daddy Kieran?" And then she noticed his hair and her eyes went wide as seh touched it. "Daddy Kieran...what happened? Did you get bubble gum in your hair?"
