"You definately hung around Aurahkah too much before we met. learned hwo to lockpick magically sealed locks. But you got it done all on your own and that's great. So..are you still making any money? or do I need to help you a bit in the financal aid department?"
A slight grin to her, and a lingering little kiss.

"Actually I never hung around with her. Just Cymarron and Rand before they got involved then I spent most of my time in a tree, usually fletching. Then you came along and well, I wasn't broed anymore now was I? I've been lockpicking since I knew how a lock worked. Any father uses magic themed ones all the time, I'd have to pick up something. Besides...its one of those rune things we all learn in Andal when we're still little." Though returning his kiss simply because that meant she didn't have to answer anything for the moment. And she was quite content to be distraced in such a way. "Of course I'm making money, I do own the only means of getting horses in this place after all, and the equipment to make them useful. The only aid I need from you, I'm getting right now." A slight little shrug. "I'd say Arthur was the only blip in my books. I can't decide if it's worth it or not to work him to death to pay off what he owes me." Smoothing one hand through his hair. "By the way, I probably ruined one of your shirts earlier."

"Of course I am. I'm always right." Teasing him of course. Things had gotten slightly strained there for a moment. "I do want you to take the potion tonight and swallow some saltwater like you agreed earlier. If you at least take care of that I'll leave you alone about eating though I can't promise not to mention it every day at least once. You're going to need food to gain your strength back and heal up." She blinked for a moment as her hands flew into her hair. "What?" Wasn't hard to guess though, between her fingers and his it had been tousled into a windblown style that would clearly articulate to everyone just what had gone on in the bedroom.
"Of course I did. And I helped Malikhai and Piper plan for their cage and then we gathered food for them when they hatched. Are you sure the draithix are gonna be okay without sun?" Nibbling on her bottom lip worriedly, she glanced at him for a moment and then her little face went deep into thought before she giggled. "I'm going with you Daddy Kieran. I miss you and Andal. I want to play in the sun and not worry about something eating my baby toe when I go swimming."

"what did you do and how did you manage it?"
A slight smirk.
"Work him to death. he owes you last I heard a considerable amount. something like two thousand steel? no question there. unless he comes up with some money, he works it off."
though he was quite content to nuzzle and hold her nad make her relaxed for now.

"You only think you're right all the time," tucking his hands behind his head and resting his head back on his arms in rather casual fashion. Yeah he was still processing...after all this kind of thing wasn't on his usual activity list. Maybe she was just feeling needy. "You don't have to remind me, I'll remember and I'll do it. I'd rather be miserable for a moment than miserable for who knows how long."
An amused smirk about her hair though. "May be short but boy does it mess pretty." A chuckle and somewhat of a snort from him before looking back to her. "I should get up and check on Zykariel though. After all, he's going to fuss if we stay in here too much longer."
"They'll be just fine. Remember that they live in subterrainian and cave like places. The Depths is like one big playground for them, full of bugs and stuff." She always worried, poor girl. Though Kieran was working on that little habit of hers that could become bad if unchecked. "Alright then, we'll go home together. But we have to spend a few more days down here to see what everyone is doing and visit and such. Okay? Or if you want to go home, I can have Nerian take you."
Speaking of draithix, Malikhai was on the floor with his surrounded by blocks and other play items, and was feeding the little guy some nuts he had in a pocuh that mommy said he could keep by his bed if the pup got hungry in the middle of the night. A look to his friend. "You think he's mad at me for not naming him yet?"
Well, I wore one of your shirts today, and then the children were bored so I took them outside and in some round about way we all ended up in the water. So, underdark water and then the dirt that comes along with it and such, and then when I went to soak away stress, I merely threw it on the floor in a pile, where it probably still is unless the help happened to go clean up our room a bit. Therefore, the condition of said item of clothing is now comfortable." Patting him on the chest. "Don't worry, you have plenty." Giving him one of those girlish giggles she was still in possession of and a little content moan. How she did enjoy it when he was all affectionate and personable. It was a good thing. "I had him babysit for about a half hour but I couldn't help thinking that said child would get the better of him...or yes I would of spent a full hour in that tub." Giving a light shrug and a sigh, nuzzling at his throat again with another chuckle that was a bit more sinister perhaps. "Something about that amount. I don't know, maybe I just don't want to deal with him right now what with all of this talk of Andal and the fighting between everyone."

"You think. I know." She quipped right back at him, her hands in her hair, trying vainly to get it into some semblance of order. "I'm going to have to wet it..." she grumbled, pushing off the bed and walking, naked, into the bathroom where she more or less plopped her head under the faucet and soaked it. She probably should take a shower but she didn't want to wash his scent off her just yet. Felt kind of nice being more or less marked by him, not that he was soon to have anyone else take his place. Coming back out with her head buried in a towel, she rubbed her hair with the towel and then brushed it, before finding her clip and reinserting it into her hair. Picking up her clothes and dressing herself, she nodded. "And I need to bully a certain surface elf back to bed and get dinner figured out."
Zykariel glanced at the nursery doorway, waiting. His parents had five more minutes and then he was going right back in there. "Hmm? No. I think he's glad you're taking your time. Lets him know you really care about him and want him to have a really good name."
He got down on his tummy and studied the little creature, touching the space on his back between his tiny wings. Did he want a draithix? He didn't know. But he wanted some kind of pet, he did know that much.
"That's okay, I want to stay with you." She locked her arms tightly around his neck and kissed his cheek. "Plus the boys will be sad when I leave so this will give them a few more days to play with me instead of just leaving. And maybe we'll take Galesen back!"

He shook his head as she went off and while she occupied her time in his bathroom, he took to dressing himself, just pulling on his tunic over his chainmail as she came back out. In fact he was sitting on the edge of the bed, rebraiding his hair. "Would that be the one you're taking care of or the one that you showed a lesson to earlier?" Giving a light cough, the question more rhetorical than anything. Now where were his boots?
He watched at the creature first at the nut he was holding out for him and then nibbled on the boy's fingers. "He sure nibbles a lot." Blinking at the creature who thurned his head practically almost all the way around as he was poked in the back, all four little transparent wings splaying lightly and a light impression from the boy's finger was left on his soft scales but faded quickly. Malikhai giggled at the noise he made.
"Mommy named Circa and Eket after a sickle and saber in surface elf. Maybe I should name him something in underdark?" After all, he knew the distinction between the two languages and it just seemed right to name the little guy in the latter.
He pat her on the back reassuringly, giving a light chuckle. "Yes you will have plenty of time to say all of your goodbyes and for all of them to be good." A nod of his head. "And maybe Arthur will come with us...or with Isle when she comes back. She said that she's going to be staying longer than we are."

"that reminds me I need to have a chat with that elf. and I promise I won't be mean or bad about it. and what's comfortable for you is hardly ruined. though it is a sight worn through."
Keeping her nice and close and content for now.
"Though i imagine sooner or later Zahara is going to either one come looking for you to check on you, or two, realize you were working and come looking for you to lecture you."

"Is there an actual difference?" she asked with a chuckle. "But it would be the one I'm taking care of who seems to have a personal allergy to anything that involves a bed for an extended period of time. Except sex, she's rather fond of that activity." She watched him go about the simple task for a moment and then sat down next to him and pulled on her boots. Plopping a kiss on his cheek, she stood and headed out of the room calling back, "If you need anything, give me a call." Thus leaving Sevilin to take care of the boys, she snatched a serf and then made her way downstairs. "I do believe I told you not to overdo things, Piper." One eyebrow rose as her gaze narrowed on Malik's hand and she plopped her hands on her hips. "That would include overdosing on medicine, which I'm sure you've already done so." A roll of her eyes. "Bed. Now. I'll bring you up dinner, but if you've got a request, let me know now. And no more sex. Reverie and relaxation. Got it?" A glance between both of them, imitating the mother who had caught two young children with their hands in the cookie jar. "And I know you were working." She chuckled, "The serfs see and know all..."
"Underdark names are good. That's what Nym is named for too. Just pick something that doesn't sound too girly or silly adn is short. Short names are good for pets. Easy to call." He stroked his finger between the draithix's ears. "Maybe he's hungry? You could call him something to do with food if you want?"
"Isle's not coming back right away? Doesn't she miss Uncle Lateef and Aunt Caprice? Doesn't she miss her friend the pretty sea elf and racing her boat and making music on the mountain and the sun and the flowers and sleeping in the palace and making pretty dresses and playing in the kitchen when she wants?"

"A chat? Do you mean an actual chat this time?" Not that she didn't distrust him to be capable of such a thing. After all, Malik had it in him to have civil negotiation like talks with others. "Remember, young elves do stupid things." Which was calling the pot the kettle black now wasn't it? "Though that is true...I like my clothes well worn...and well if I'm going to wear yours, I have to break them to comfort now don't I?" Though one of those not so enthusiastic noises of affirmation. "She can't yell too much...I followed doctor's orders. She didn't say they involved the bed. And as far as work...she'll be thrilled because if I have my numbers done that means hers are going to be easy." But then a blink and a look over to Zahara as she came in and started playing healer. Oh she just had to go and ruin all her fun didn't she? Well just damn thsoe serfs too. "Accounts are done, be happy," Though a pout, "why do you have to go and ruin my fun, I'm destressing." But more likely than not, when Zahara barked a medical order in reference to Piper's health, Malik would echo it. Couldn't win.
"I'm feeding him, he just likes to nibble." He stared at the creature again who flexed his ears as he was bed by the other child then nibbled again on his owner's finger. "What if I called him Yinn? That's underdark, and it's not girly." A pet for the little guy before feeding him another nut.
"I'm sure she misses all those things, but sometimes people can miss something, but it doesn't hurt when they miss them. They want to see new things that they can come back and incorporate into the old ones. Makes for a nice twist in life so to speak." Meanwhile he had carried the child the to nursery, setting her down and he looked to the boys. "I see you two are duely fascinated."
Sevilin shook his head lightly though blinked at the kiss on the cheek. She was rather affectionate right now wasn't she? But he merely shrugged it off and got himself up, slipping on his boots and making his way to the nursery...just to find Kieran in accompaniment to the children there. Okay...that didn't make him a happy man. But, he would just be...well not civil...but he could at least be non hostile...no matter how much he hated the elf.

"there's no way to overdose on that particular brand of medication. well...there is, but it's very, very rare."
A slight chuckle.
"But if you insist, you can take her upstairs and back to bed. after all, I need to have a conversation with Arthur anyhow. and if you're cooking...lets get some nice pasta meals..or something that goes with hot rolls."

"Oh yes there is. Especially the way you two cavort. If she didn't scream and you didn't get so rough, I might allow it but I'm not. No more sex tonight. And before you get all pissy with me, Sevilin's under the same edict. Now come on Piper, don't be difficult." She was relieved the accounts were done but irritated that Piper had gone against her edict. "And because you already stretched your mind, no reading, no fletching, no nothing for you. Straight to reverie after dinner. Come on now. I've got three children, another stubborn surface elf and a pigheaded male drow to take care of too. I'll take no crap from you Miss Piper D'vinn. Lady you may be but healer wins right now. Off his lap and Malik keep your hands to yourself or I'll occupy her bed tonight." She nudged Piper's chair and motioned to a serf and put in an order for roast chicken and some veggies. "I only do it because I care Piper. Besides, this might just be the last night if you cooperate."
"I like it. Short and not girly at all. Good job Khai." He glanced up as Kieran entered and then his father and he grinned. "Hey Mr. Kieran. Daddy, this is a draithix. See? He's real little, just a baby." Then a grin at Kieran. "Malikhai just named him."
Lark joined the boys on the floor and lightly ruffled Malikhai's hair. "Sometimes when they lick your fingers it really tickles and when you giggle or laugh they make a noise too. It's funny." Then she grinned, "I haven't named mine yet. What'd you name yours?"

See? He was on her side, and that merely got a sigh from her. Well damn it. "Quick, someone get some rope." Shaking her head as she slipped off of Malik's lap, reluctantly so, and brushed a hand through her hair. "Yes I know...you both torture me and make me lay in a bed staring at the ceiling because you both care or some such nonsense." Though her tone clearly said she was joking to kill the dislike of it all. "You may not want to sleep in our bed though Zahara, we haven't changed the sheets this week. I still say break out the rope, we're going to need it." But a defeated sigh to her and a look back to Malik before she trudged off up to her room...no doubt being trailed.
He turned his look to Sevilin, shifting his weight to one side. No he wasn't particularly fond of the drow in front of him either, after all if you were attacked repeatedly then you would be a little upset too. But he went the civil way, giving the drow a nod and returned his attention to the children. "Got yourself a draithix for a pet do you? Better take really good care of him now."
He nodded in accomplishment. "Good," A look to the creature, "Youre name is Yinn then. It means tooth, because you bite a lot and it fits. Everything should fit, makes for good harmony." Another one of those lines he'd gotten from an adult. But a look to his grandfather. "I do!" And then a look to Lharika. "They must like sound...and mine nibbles a lot. So I'm naming him Yinn."
"Yes I see that. I'm old enough to have seen them before." Okay...so he was old enough to be the ones who actually poached them to supposed extinction. Drow women sure loved that scale and fur combo. But a passing look to Kieran, walking over to his own son and patting him on the head in affectionate gesture. "Hungry?"

"I don't think we'll have to worry about that. Your bed was stripped and remade while you were making use of the table downstairs. I mentioned it to the serfs earlier just in case it came down to something like this." She was indeed trailing after her and rolled her eyes at Piper's dramatics. "You know if you're nice to me I just might stay and keep you company for a while instead of leaving you in here staring at the ceiling as you so sweetly put it."
"I'm going to name mine as soon as I pick the best name I can for him. It just hasn't come to me yet." She stood back up and walked over to Kieran, taking his hand. She didn't like the sudden feel of tension in the room.
"Really? How old are you?" Zykariel glanced up and nodded. "I want chicken nuggets, Daddy. And macaroni and cheese. Is Mommy cooking tonight like she used to do before?"

Well damn it. She would have to hurt whomever touched those sheets then. "I'm not that stubborn about it." Though she probably was, but upstairs with her, and to her room, plopping on the edge of the bed dejectedly. "Where have you been anyway? I haven't seen you for hours." Trying to make idle conversation merely because she really really didn't want to lay down and more or less do nothing.
He looked down to her a moment and grasped her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. He knew she was sensitive to things still and children always picked things up easily. But he had to give a chuckle and look to Sevilin and Zykariel. "Ah, child food...it transcends all races, doesn't it?" See, he was trying to be nice here.
He picked up his draithix, giving it a cuddle as it idly took to chewing on the ends of his hair as he was holding it to his chest, letting it squirm about and such. Hm, had that look of playtime coming to an end. But a look to his friend. "Does that mean you're leaving?"
A chuckle and a look down to his son. "I do believe four hundred and ninety five." Look at that, he was almost five hundred years old. But to elves, that was rather young now wasn't it? You couldn't really be old until you rounded your first millenium. Sevilin shot a look at Kieran on his comment. "Yes, one of those things that never changes." Points to him for trumping Kieran's 'things change' happy go lucky-ness. "I don't know if we're leaving, do you want to leave? Though...I suppose if that's what you want, that's what you'll have. But I do believe yes she had dinner under control." Oh gods...it was back to eating child food again.
