"As long as you put it back where it belongs and don't just spend it out into the air or in tricks and such, then no you won't feel icky either." Another yawn and a stretch from him, plopping a hand on the boy's head and ruffling his hair. "You'lll notice the difference soon enough, I assure you. And whenever you feel one of those magic bursts coming on when you're getting upset, you just wind that feeling into your ball," a poke at his chest on that note, "and it won't happen. It may take a time or two of practice on that, but they will stop if you try."

"I wouldn't spend any steel on cooking supplies Malik. It's pointless to stock your kitchen for my needs since I'm not going to be here much longer. No, these ingredients are to keep your wife hale, healthy and alive while she's out on her unknown quest." She took a deep breath keeping herself calm. "A thousand is merely to be safe. Any excess would be returned to you."
He could do that. "Like how when I play with my blocks and I have to pull them out of the container to build with them but if I want to be able to have them next time I want to play, I gotta make sure I put them back where they go?" Yup, he could definitely understand where Daddy was going with that one.
"It's like cleaning up and setting things in order!" No wonder Daddy was teaching him this. He did listen to that last point and nodded. "I stopped before I felt icky this morning. But then I broke the glasses on the table. I think Miss Piper was okay with it though."

"Yes, I suppose you can look at it that way." Though Sevilin could pretty much appreciate any cleaning metaphor or analogy. They were nice. But he was letting his thoughts wander now wasn't he? Back to the child at hand. "Well, we can't punish for accidents now can we?" Ruffling the boy's chaotic hair again before smoothing down the poofy look the boy had going. "Alright, that's enough for right now. After all, you'll probably have lessons again later this morning. Need breakfast then?"

Malik looked over at her, and shook his head lightly.
"No need. I've been meaning to give you and sevilin a large amount of steel anyway to better facilitate your higher standing in this house. sevilin being my right hand and you being for lack of better term, Piper's personal healer as well as the rest of us. I'll hand over the allotment I was going to anyway. alright your marked down. sign this here.."
sliding the book on teh table toward her with a quill.
"To verify you did recieve the amount. twenty thousand in steel for the Inthra family."

"Really?" Raises were quite nice things. She took the book and scanned the writing just to make sure she wasn't being cheated out of anything and that there was no fine print that she was missing or anything like that. It all seemed alright so she nodded and signed her name in easy looping script. "Twenty thousand in steel. Does that mean I can have the thousand right now? Because I really need to do this shopping for your wife's kit."
"No, because accidents weren't meant and that means that there was no ill intent involved which is a punishable offense." Hmm, three guesses on where he'd heard something like that... "Breakfast sounds good. Will Mommy be cooking this time or the other people?" he asked as Daddy fixed his hair.

'Two bags in the chest to your left. feel free to have at it, and you know when it comes to Piper's well being you can spare no expense. I want her as safe as she can be made."
before he closed his book and got himself up, stretching lightly.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get a shower and a change of clothes."
and that's precisely what Malik headed off to do.

Okay so Lharika wasn't getting up. He had more or less been swatted away at those attempts. She always took reveries for a long long time and it always took her a while to get out of it. Mommy said it was because she wasn't used to down here. Not that that made too much sense to him. So here he was, in his pajamas just now wandering from his parent's room. Mommy and daddy were nowhere to be found. That did not make him happy...okay then he had to just keep looking, right?
"Are you alright?" After all...he had more or less just practically flung his daughter across the arena to land at a bad angle and was now helping her up.
She wiped a bit of blood from her lip. "I'm fine...go distracted. Malikhai isn't a happy little elf." Well look at that, the mother child bond usurped her concentration on other things.
"Not happy as in something's wrong or he's cranky?"
"Cranky."
"Chilren often are. But you can't let yourself get distracted like that...you get thrown around." Giving a chuckle as it was quite literal since it just happened. But he brushed her off some and shook his head. "Let's continue."
He chuckled and rolled his eyes slightly. Though is was adorable when they quoted adults like that and actually knew what they were talking about. But an honest shrug to his son. "I really don't know today. But I'm sure you could weasel pancakes and waffles both from the help." See he knew how to get around that particular issue....at least when it's breakfast."

and Malikhai got picked up midstride by Malik on his way back to the room he and piper shared.
"I see that your up this morning, how are you feeling?"
setting him down on thier bed, and taking off his shirt, putting it aside and looking in his closet for other clothes.

Twenty thousand steel. She watched Malik walk off and headed over to the chest he'd indicated, plopping it open and reached in scooping out two bags like he'd instructed. She hefted one bag into each arm and then plopped down at the dining room table, tipping one of the bags so the steel spilled out onto the table. She counted out a thousand and then tied the bags back up. She would submit a bill to Malik later.
He nodded and slipped out of bed then tugged on his father's hand. "Come on Daddy. Let's go." Thus out of the nursery and down the stairs in his sleeping pants until he flopped down on a chair in the dining room and pointed. "What's that?"
Zahara grinned, "That Zykariel is a very nice thing that's guaranteed to make your father's day. In fact it is our future."
"In two bags? Can't be a very big future..."
She chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Believe me little one. Great things can come in little packages. Like you for example. You're not very big but you are a wonderful thing just the same."
"I'm not little...I'm...medium. Are you making breakfast Mommy?"
She thought about it for a moment. "Yup. I sure am. What do you want?"
"Waffles nad pancakes."
"...big suprise there."

Oh wait, there was daddy. But he frowned all the same. He didn't like to wake up and not be able to find anybody. It was not a fun thing. "I couldn't find you and mommy." But letting himself get plopped on the bed and pulling his feet up to sit crosslegged. "Where were you?" Obviously that meant he was feeling a tad cranky and such.
And the kid was off like a flash wasn't he? Of course he was. Sevilin merely took the opportunity to put on some day clothes and then casually make his way downstairs as well. Though coming into the dinning room he did give a look over to the two surface elves there. Whoa, looked like that one got the hell beat out of her. That was amusing. But his attention turned back to the table. Oh look, Zahara was up too. "So, what's supposed to make my day now?"

Zahara glanced up at Sevilin adn happened to catch sight of Isle. She'd seen her when she first came into the dining room it just hadn't clicked for some reason about her appearance. She was damn glad she'd given Isle that bruise ointment though because she looked awful. A sympathetic shake of her head and she forced her gaze back to Sevilin. "We got a raise from Malik. A rather..substantial raise since we have new job titles."
"Our future is in those two bags Daddy."
"Steel. Lots and lots of beautiful steel." She pushed the two bags towards him. "This is ours to do what we wish with. Supposed to raise our status or something. So then, pancakes and waffles for the little one. Sevilin? Are we eating today?" She couldn't stop herself from raising an eyebrow in that 'you better be saying yes' way that she so often used when it came to such things. Hey she'd been lenient for three days. It was time to shove food down his throat again.

"I was in my study downstairs. Zahara said I couldn't sleep in here last night so mom would be sure to get the rest she needed. I don't now where mom is though."
then into the shower with Malik, though he left the door open a bit to talk to his son.
"have you had anything to eat this morning?"

A tilt of his head at the bags. A raise? As in he was actually getting paid better? Not that he complained about what he was given in the first place...he was one of those practical people with money and he was given enough to live off of. Surprises. "New job titles. Sure." Hey he wasn't going to knock it, just take it as a blessing.
"You've been to see Malik and had a civil conversation with him then?" Of course he had to poke...Zahara and Malik just didn't have civil conversations. But a look down to the bags again as she pushed them over, staring a moment before a quick scribe of a rune and poof they were gone. He loved handy runes. A nod to Zahara then. "I'm eating...just make it something soft, like eggs or something." He wasn't going to risk anything yet.
"You could'a reveried in the nursery with me. We got extra beds. There's no bed in your study daddy." He knew that much. Sure he wasn't allowed down in there but he had seen the space a time or two when his mother had been holding him and she had gone down there. Flopping back on the sheets as his father went off into the bathroom to shower. Mommy and daddy had really nice sheets...they were at least fun because you could slide across them...though it wasn't fun if you slid off the bed. "Nope, I just got up." Laying on his back with his feet in the air before he grabbed his pant legs and tried to roll some, ending up smacking into the headboard of the bed upside down. Oops. "It's bad that you don't know where mommy is...she does silly things." Repeated obviously from Malik.

"Extra steel for the Inthara family. I signed for it this morning." She noddd the bags and then explained, "Yes you are Malik's Shield and I am the official healer for Piper and anyone else who might need it. I suppose that makes me the Head Healer then, doesn't it? Yup, I think a raise is perfect." Of course as those bags disappeared she was damn glad she had already removed a thousand for shopping purposes. "Very well. Waffles and pancakes and scrambled eggs coming right up."
"Do I get some steel too Daddy? And a new title?" He was thrilled that Mommy wasn't going to argue about having both of the breakfast foods at one time like she usually did and he grinned happily because of it.
It didn't take her long to whip up both breakfasts and an omelette for herself and soon she was setting two plates down in front of the boys and then retrieving her own. Orange juice for all as well as a bit of sauce to season his eggs if he so desired. SHe'd already put butter and syrup and cut Zykariel's up the way he liked. "Little bites, chew it all before you swallow and try not to get syrup everywhere." Thus sitting down and attending to her own breakfast. "Eat slow Sevilin. Give yourself time."
"Mommy's bossy this morning..." he said as he started to eat his own breakfast.

"Hm, titles are good." Giving a casual nod as he sat down at the table next to his son, amused slightly as the child was actually getting what he wanted. A sligh chuckle, "You want some do you? Tell you what, you do your chores like you're suppose to every month and I'll give you a piece each month." And of course he meant actually do them...and one piece of steel was a big deal to a three year old. "And what do you want to be called?"
Sevilin was in an accomadating mood today...probably because he was feeling better. Though he did have to hold in a chuckle at the child's comment on Zahara as he poked at his eggs some before taking a bite. "Zahara does that when she wants to make sure we do nothing..." Stupid, moronic, something of the idiot quality...what was that one Malik used? Ah, that was it,"...silly."
