A low but rather loud grumbling sound echoed throughout the room and Zykariel giggled. "My tummy says that's a good idea, Daddy." Glancing back at the blocks, he decided to clean them later. He fussed with his hair for a moment and then nodded and took his father's hand. "I'll help you move her stuff back upstairs too. Is she making lunch and dinner for us like she used to?" Already out the door and halfway down the stairs, bubbling with childish enthusiasm.

He let the child lead as he may want to. "No, she's taking reverie. Taking care of people and then yelling at them is tiring work. We'll make something simple and then get on with work." Getting down to the kitchen he assessed his lunch making ability and thus it was pbj sandwiches for both of them, handing him one as they walked then to his training room. "Only take the light and little stuff."

He checked his sandwich to make sure that there was no yellow anywhere on it and then he happily ate it, licking his fingers to remove all extra peanut butter and jelly of of them. That stuff was too yummy to waste. "Like her shoes and clothes and stuff." He could do that. Lifting a few pairs of her shoes in his hands he headed up the stairs and then went down to Daddy's room dropping them in his closet.

Sevilin grabbed a load of heavier things, mostly some of her healing and potion junk and made his way upstairs to her room, being quiet about getting his way in the room and setting things back where they belonged, going back down to get a load of her clothes to bring up, passing Zykariel in the hallway back and forth on trips. "Be careful now."

"I am." He'd moved all her boots into Daddy's closet and made space in some of Daddy's drawers as well. Those things he couldn't hang up that he'd brought upstairs got put on the bed. They could take care of those later. A few stacks of books were set on Daddy's dresser. Things were working out so nicely.

A fifth trip to Zahara's room and he put her gloves in the top drawer of her dresser...this didn't look like nearly the amount of things they'd brought up. Where were all the things Zykariel had brought up. Poking his head out of her room he caught sight of the child leaving his own and he walked out, catching him by the hand and leading him back to Sevilin's own room.
And look at that, there was some of Zahara's things. A check in various other places showed even more. Picking Zykariel up to hold him out in front of himself and eye level he looked to the boy's eyes. "Son...why are Zahara's things in my room?"

He smiled up at Daddy, thrilled to know what a big help he was being. And then he began to frown as Daddy started checking the things he'd put away. Why would he ask such a question? "Because that's where they go. She's my Mommy, just like you said. She moved back in so her stuff goes back too."

He stared stupidly a moment. "Yes son, she is. But this is my room...her room is down the hall. I know she takes reverie in here sometimes, but it's not her room. You know, like when you sometimes take reverie in my room, but you keep your clothes and everything in your own room. Everyone needs thier own space."

The child looked confused for a moment as well and then he merely nodded. "Okay. I'll move it all into her room..." Something wasn't right and hte happiness that had made him so buoyant minutes before was gone like a deflated balloon. He waited for Daddy to put him down and then he slowly picked up those boots and things he'd arranged so carefully and took them down to the other room where he saw her curled up in reverie in her bed. Her bed. His bed. Zykariel frowned, studying his mother for a moment and then turned and stood back in front of Daddy, rocking on his heels, hands behind his back. "Mommy's stuff is in...her room."

The child wasn't so happy now...that was odd. So he knelt down to the child's level to meet his eyes and plucked Nym from his shoulder where the ferret had been, holding him out to the boy. "Now she won't wonder where things are. But let's talk about that pet you wanted. You show me that you can take care of Nym, clean up after him and keep him out of trouble, then I'll let you have your pet. Okay? That includes cleaning out his hidey holes in the house."

He took the ferret, making sure to hold both his back legs and cup his bottom so Nym wouldn't feel the need to flail. "I'll take good care of him, I promise. That won't upset you Nym, if I get a little pet of my own since you belong to Daddy?" Setting him on his shoulder and petting between his ears gently. "Guess that means we need to go clean your hole. Come on Nym, you can tell me what you want to keep and what you don't want anymore."

The ferret squirmed a little until the boy took hold of him properly and then he got a new shoulder to perch on. Upset me? No, I'm fine...you want something bigger than you that will probably want to eat me anyway. As long as I still get to play some then yes it's fine. But that was a series of chitters, a nuzzle lick and a playful paw at the boy. Cleaning onward, better you do it than you father...I'll get to keep a lot more...
Sevilin stood and rubbed the back of his neck as the child toddled off. Well, that was settled then. Back down to his training room to get the last of Zahara's things and bring them back upstairs. Setting her jewelry on her dresser he opened the box and rifled through it until he pulled out one of her navel rings.
Heading to the bed with ring in hand, he kneeled on the bed with one knee and placed a hand on her shoulder, rolling her gently to her back to expose her stomach. Where upon he went about taking out his own metal ring he had placed there and worked in the proper one.

Zykariel giggled and walked off with Nym, quite happily until he got down on his hands and knees and started pulling things out of his hidey hole. "Nym! You're always stealing my socks. How come? They should be too little for you to sleep in." A shake of his head as he pulled out at least three or four pair as well as other things. One of his blocks, a half eaten cracker and a broken tea cup, as well as a tiny plastic spoon he probably stole from Lharika. "Alright Nym. You can't keep all of this, gotta decide."
Zahara murmured sleepily and then her eyes snapped open with a snarl and she grabbed his wrist, holding tightly, her breathing picking up. Her mind was working over on her and she was beginning to replace things. Red eyes, long silvery white hair...she reached under her pillow and felt for her dagger but it wasn't there. Her first instinct was magic and she formed a ball in her hand the same moment she slapped at his cheek. "NO! Not this time you hear me?!"

How come? Because they are little, good to stuff in small spaces. Chitter. But he watched as his things were pulled out. Okay he could pick. You can have all the socks I need to steal fresh ones anyway. But he nosed his block away from the pile as well as his tea cup and spoon. Can I keep all of these?
Okay, let's think about what we did wrong in the breif half second we have before we get ourselves hurt. Mistake number one...thinking he was that sneaky. Mistake number two, trusting that she trusted him. Oh well, he was getting magic smacked. Don't tense, makes it easier. Thus poor Sevilin was more or less magic slapped away from her and to the floor to more or less just sit there...ow, that burned. He was very very sick of magic burns.
Raising a hand he rested it against his cheek but knew better than to move or get up if she was freaking out on him. Okay, lesson learned. "Calm down Zahara I'm not going to hurt you!" Hm, it was going to be a bad day again for him wasn't it?

Zykariel had learned 'Nym language' more or less and he scooped up the pile of socks and put them on one of the kitchen chairs by his hole. he glanced over the rest of the stuff and nibbled his bottom lip. "Okay, you can keep the spoon and block but why do you want the cup. It's broken?" Then he sighed and swiped away the cracker and other discarded things pushign them into a separate pile, "I guess you can keep it since I'm taking away your cracker." He dug in a little further and pulled out some steel and a tiny ring as well as a piece of apple and what looked like a vial for potions. "Choose."
Zahara was quickly becoming fully awake and aware and his voice pulled her out of the last vestiges of reverie. She shook her head and blinked then stared down at him. "Sevilin? What in the hell were you trying to do?" Rubbing a hand over her face. "Gods I thought you were...never mind." She glanced down at him and saw the handprint indented into his face thanks to her magic and winced. "Oh no..." Slipping off the bed, she crouched down beside him and gently reached out to assess the damage.
