Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Too comfortable to move." She was relaxed and she merely shifted slightly to be able to see him. Wait, he was apologizing? Okay...what fight was he referring to? "Don't worry about it. It's not a matter of comfort, Galesen, I just didn't see why I needed to tell you. If I had known it was going to bother you so badly, I might have warned you about it. But it seems like it turned out alright for you in the end. You moved on after all." She rested her head backl into its normal position, feeling none too embarassed about being caught in Sevilin's arms. "anything else?"

Zykariel leaned back against the pillows as the numb feeling assailed his whole body. He hated it when his magic got the better of him so much. But he also knew from experience that it would go away, even faster if he could take his mind off of it. "Can I study with you Khai?"

"Never say someone is right just to make them happy. Because lying is bad and mean. Got it." If she were Daddy Kieran, she'd have a journal out and be scribbling away to her heart's content. Instead she just grinned at him. "I won't. Promise." She nibbled on her bottom lip a moment and then asked, "Is there anything you can do to make Kariel feel better, Daddy Kieran? A leaf or stone he could eat or something?"

Arthur shook his head and smiled lightly. "Listen Zahara the information that you told me didn't bother me that much, I came to terms with it and I'm alright with it; whatever you do is your business." But he let it go, he didn't want to say something wrong and get her pissed off at him now does he? Though when she asked him if he needed something else a light bulb went off in his head. "Well Malik..." A slight pause on that. "Malik says that I need to step up on my training a little more...so I was wondering if you are up to it want to go to the arena and fight?" Eh if she didn't want to then really it wouldn't be nothing big, he could just go down there himself and ask a serf to bring out a drow warrior for him to go at for awhile.

"Yeah Malik says I've been lazy...though I'm only taking a break while he's on vacation...also he says that if I want to go up to Andal in three days I have to prove myself somehow, and since I'm not in the mood to fight him or Isle isn't in any good shape I decided that you would be a good match up as well." He sighed a little bit before he remembered something and looked over at Sevilin. "Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you about my magic lessons...I was wondering as soon as you are ready and able can we start them over again?" Though a look back to Zahara and he nodded lightly. "Yeah right now would be good." He said with a light smile as he crossed his arms light and place them on his chest.

He made a noise of discomfort as she knocked him in the jaw, making his teeth snap against each other rather harshly. Ow, that wasn't pleasant. But he merely shook his head a little as if that was going to help the feeling and noticed his arms sliding from around her as she got up. Apparently she was going to take Arthur up on his little endeavor...hm, why did he feel a tad annoyed by her going to leave?

Though it didn't show on his face so that the two in the room would pick up on it. He had the feeling she would decline merely because he wasn't top notch and she was playing healer...so be better say something shouldn't he? "You can go...just be careful. Can't have both of us being hurt can we? Though I would appreciate seeing you later before you go to reverie." How the hell did he make a request that sounded like a mere suggestion? He just could.

He showed his friend the page, which was mostly addition of rather large numbers done the long way as well as some multiplication, a little bit of the opposite operations as well, little child like marks on some of the pages inbetween problems where he would work them out. "I'm right here. Mommy said I need to at least know these right now. They get hard sometimes. But mommy and daddy showed me tricks."

"He'll be fine dear." A pet to Lharika's hair, as he turned his attention to Malik for the moment. "He's adamant about going. Though I understand why you are hesitant to let him go...closed planes aren't exactly the best place to send unprepared elves for thier first surface visit. And I told you before, don't mind the whole me being imprisoned thing...they were just making a point, no harm done."

Shaking his head lightly. "Well...maybe he will indeed impress. Real question is are you just teasing him with opportunity or are you really willing to let him go, even if it is just for a visit. Surface air, sun, and such is a wreck on an Underdark body." Pausing a moment with a chuckle. "I don't think Arthur that foolish, Sevilin is not one who takes a challenge lightly." He knew that personally. "But as usual I'm just as excited as can be to be down here, after all it's just another opportunity to get myself some knowledge on an the Underdark. Makes my life easier seeing as I can draw parallels to an extent between here and back home. And yes, everything is quite well and I'm fine. Don't worry, you'd know if I wasn't comfortable here...can't shut my mouth sometimes." Was nice to poke at yourself. "And you, everything is going well here I take it? My daughter not driving you insane yet?" An aversion to Isle a moment though. "You should eat something."

A wave of a hand at Kieran. "I'm good...I'm having fun feeling what's happening to me right now. It's interesting really I could feel all of my fingers in this hand earlier, and now my last two are going numb once more."

Arthur just looked back and forth between both drow before letting the moment pass, whatever was going on between them he didn't care it was their own thing so he had to stay out of it. Though when Zahara mentioned to him about Andal he grinned a little bit and chuckled. "Thanks for the warning, I had a feeling that my body would screw up once I get there, I've been living down here my own life so the sudden change will affect me alot...what did you got through?" Though he followed her as they headed downstairs then down a another pair of stairs into the large arena. "I dunno really, freestyle I guess...but keep the runes out of it I can't combat against those you know." A small chuckle to that as he checked his left arm to see if his dagger was there underneath the sleeve, yup it was.

"Everything has been mostly alright. have some new dragonic allies, and the oracle..or former oracle, as I should say, he been hinting that the task piper is obligated to do is coming to pass soon. that I am not thrilled with. more then a few arguments about childrearing, but that's expected considering the differences in culture."

A look at Isle.

"so it's started that. oh yes, I'm going to enjoy making you eat your words tomorrow."

Then back to Kieran.

"The Banshee Aura is a defensive warding and damage shielding of the self. strikes against you cause a great pain and numbness to the appendage that hits you. when properly trained to it's highest ranking of ability, it can do this is waves. usually three to five, each one gets worse than the last. some of the more masochistic Shadowknights used to employ it as a demoralization and interrogation tactic. of course usually they let themselves take a beating to get the proper effect on purpose. Isle is actually a quite accomplished close fighter."

A lean back.

"If arthur can impress me enough to think he can go, I'll let him go. however we both know what's going to happen to him when he gets there due to the dramatic differences in climate. that might be punishment for him enough in some cases."

Delaney was sitting at some fancy restaurant sipping her drink and poking at her food and pushing it around on her plate. She didn't have the heart or the hunger to be eating right now. After all of this time she had wasted on chasing the Rusty fellow around she only managed to figure out that they were related.

Cousin... Well I guess it was good to know that she did have some family left in the world. But still he had no info on her parent's muderer although he dreams sounded way too familiar.

She shrugged at that thought and looks around her. The town seemed to be moving along the same as when she first got here and she didn't know where to go now that her only lead led her nowhere.

A deep sigh came out of her and she decided she might go out to blast something with a bit of fire magic to release some tension.

She finally decided that she wasn't going to eat her food so she paid her bill and left the restaurant. The town folk looking at her with wide eyes as she left her expensive meal uneaten.

"Hmmm... ok... now where am I?" Rusty's facial expression changed from pensive to confused and finally to looking hopeless. He pulled out the map that Delaney give him which contained some directions. The girl had been nice enough to show him where to go and turns out that they were related. They had the same family mark on their lower back.

He looked at the map and frowned out of confusion. He stared at it for a good couple of minutes until he realized it was upside down. The map Delaney had given him was quite confusing. As he was turning it around the wind blew the map out of his hands and sent it flying behind him.

"ARG!" Rusty ran off chasing after his map hoping the wind would die down a little so that he could catch up to it. What happened next was both good and bad. The map hit a tree and got caught in some branches. The only problem was that the branches were about twice has high as he was and he wasn't a good climber even his with cat like appearance.

He let out a sigh while looking up at his map looking pityful.

"If I let him go, I'll send something with you. but I want you to let him suffer for a little bit before you give it to him. Relying entirely on sevilin for a right hand. both shield and swordarm, is not a good thing. It'll overwork him and drain him far to quickly. not to mention it'll make him easily known. I need Arthur to be able to act as my sword at least. not to mention a surface breed can get into places far easier than a drow can."

ordering out some wine for everyone but Lharika...she got juice or milk as her preferance.

"Which is why I need him to train hard enough so that he can at least be adaquate to my standard. I need someone who can handle what I expect them to handle, and not me having to question the use of him in any circumstance I might need him. Hell tonight was the first time he's shown a backbone since the incident where I took his damn sword."
