He gave a nod to sevilin, and smirked lightly at his son's practice. good idea. but he did nod lightly at his son.
"you're doing a fine job. and good practice. getting better at moving around in your armor?"

They had slowed thier place after a while, more specifically as the terrain changed gradually. Serino was walking on his hooves by that point making that trade mark clip clop noise of horses, the sound echoing across the underdark some. Even he was a bit worn. Piper kneed him to a momentary stop, she turning her look upward. The underdark was odd wasn't it? Changed more than one thought. "Well...some creatures don't seem to care what's happened in the world around them." Mental notes made and she looked back over her shoulder to the other two, checking on them. "Holding up okay?"
"Oh really?" Sneaking the flat of his polearm blade behind the boy, and hooking him in the knees, and thus his legs right out from under him to land on his bottom. He chuckled at that and then held out a hand to the boy. "How about we take a little break hm?"
"Sure am!" Now laying in the dirt one more, though this time on his stomach with his arms crossed, head resting on them a moment and trying to get his breathing in order. Hey, throwing yourself around as such and what nor really worked and chipped away at your energy.

He sat down in the dirt and blinked up at his father for a moment, quite dazed. How had Daddy managed to do that without going around behind him? "Hey no fair! I wasn't ready." But he reached up and grabbed his hand, using his other to push-pull himself to his feet and nodded. He was getting tired anyway. It was hard work fighting someone much bigger than you. He bent down and picked up his polearm which had fallent to the dirt and used it on the ground like a staff. "Daddy, how come you call her Zahara?"

Mik tapped his nose with his finger. "You where singled out?... how odd... Kin would probably hunt the easiest prey if they where hungery... even more odd is that she was hunting a human."
Zachadia nodded in agreement, "Makes no sence to hunt something so intelligant. When we hunt we go after smaller game."
Jude spoke from his squated position in front of the wolf. "Kon... sounds an awful lot like Kin."
Ori's head tiltied in Roarke's direction. "You couldn't changer her back?... Come to think of it..."
"It's become increasingly difficult..." Said Zell.
"To change our forms." Finished Kaida.

Malik walked over and picked up his son, which was easy enough even in his armor, and carried him over toward the spectator area where everyone else was and setting his son back down.
"Zykariel...that thing you takled with me about before, broog may also be able to help with if you'd like to see him as well. he's pretty good at those sorts of things too."

"You have to always be ready." Giving a nod but leading his son over to sit down. A blink down at him though, at the child's question. That was an odd question. "Because that's her name son." Taking his little polearm from him and letting him sit down, before Sevilin himself sat down. Now time to play oblivious to what Malik was talking about.
Malikhai gave a giggle as he was picked up, and carried back over so that he could take a rest. He sheathed his sword at his hip in a slightly haphazard way, but got the job done. A little effort and he crawled up onto a seat to sit and get himself back in gear.

Zahara moved down a few rows to join her son and Sevilin and ruffled his hair. "Great job out there Zykariel. You actually brought down Sevilin, not even I can do that very easily."
Hmm, Daddy had carried him over by Mommy which meant he couldn't very well ask the question again in a different way. Had to be slightly covert about these things. "Really? I brought him down all by myself," he said proudly. "Did you see me do that neat move to get my polearm back? And when I went to strike but pulled back just in time so Daddy was up for the block? That one was fun." But he looked at Malik for a moment and then lit up. "Really? Can we go see him? Now?"

"you should probably see him just by yourself. or with Malikhai. after all this is something you want, not up to me, zahara or sevilin to make decisions for you."
though he did take a seat, idly takiong off his gauntlets and putting his hands together in a way that was comfortable but showed his wedding ring off.even in armor malik never took that off. hopefully the boy would catch the hint.

Sevilin rolled his eyes as Zahara made it a bigger deal than what it was...in reality that was a cheap shot but one to be proud of if one executed it properly, which Zykariel had in face done. Though wasn't it cute how he had to recap for Zahara, even through she had seen cute.
Another sideglance to Malik and catching his drift...but would the child? Well, the child asked questions...if he took Malikhai maybe it would get across better. Good job on Malik's part. "Yeah, go with Malikhai...armor means you don't need adults for those kinds of visits. And I'm sure he'd love to see how it all turned out for you."
He of course glanced at his father's ring, only becuse it was shiny and well it reminded him of mommy...who was missing. He knew what they meant, after all he had had a conversation with them about his parents after noticing them and the mimicing between his parents of them. Connections were fun. "Do I get to make descisions when I'm old as him?" After all, he had never been told that.

He'd been about to say that he couldn't go alone when Daddy gave him a reason why he could and he stood up and gestured to his friend. "Come on Malikhai." Thus toddling off down the steps and out into the hallway. He knew where Broog's was but he was a little uncertain about asking the big ogre. Though he was slightly confused as to why Malik was sending him somewhere else when he'd given him candles. "Hey Malikhai? How do you know your parents love each other?" Maybe they used candles too?
Zahara nodded and ruffled his hair again. "Yes I saw it all. You were wonderful and so was Malikhai when he got up all by himself and struck low. Very good both of you." Though she watched them leave and then turned to the men. "What's all that about?" Because she felt out of the loop.

He slid down and toddled off after his friend, a little noisy in armor but he followed after him just the same, making thier way down the hall to Broog's. A blink at his friend. Oh he knew that story too. "Well...daddy told mommy he loved her, and then she said it too. Then he gave her a ring and she gave him one too and they got married. And they tell each other all the time too, and they they tell me that they love me." It was all so simple from a child's point a view wasn't it?
A look back to Zahara and he shrugged a little. "Kids are curious?"

"Just some little curiousities about things. part of which I think broog can explain better than I can. and he's learning quick enough. sooner rather than later he'll be either trying to best Zykariel or some critter or the like we have around here."
a glance at Zahara.
"everyone staying here is alright? no medical needs or such, no quarentine worthy sicknesses or anything?"

"Rings?" And just like that the pieces fell into place and Zykariel understood why Malik had sent him to Broog. Becasue Broog could make rings! And that's the only thing Mommy and Daddy didn't have. He'd seen Mr. Malik's on his hand just a few seconds ago. Thus he grabbed his friend's hand and ran down the hall and into Broog's little spot. "Mr. Broog? Can you make my Mommy and Daddy rings like Mr. Malik's and Miss Piper's? Please? Mr. Malik can give you steel if you need it."
The married thing he was sure came when they put the rings on and then Daddy would stop calling Mommy Zahara and she'd stop calling Daddy Sevilin and they'd stop fighting and be happy! And he could sleep on the cot instead of Daddy though he could still worm his way into bed with them too.
"Mmhmm. But what did he talk to you about earlier Malik? And why send him to Broog? Unless the lovable ogre is in the business of solving three year old's problems." There was something going on here, wasn't there? But then Malik distracted her in that way he had and she nodded, "Everyone is perfectly fine. I thought our stores were going to be taxed by the battle but that dind't exactly come to fruition. I have a bill for you by the way."

"Before we know it those boys are going to be a lot to handle...they're drive us insane with trying to keep them in order." A slight chuckle at that one before relaxing back some. Oh good lord this plan...it was an odd one...he was just hoping he didn't experience an explosion of any type in his face over this. But it seemed Malik was keen to occupy Zahara right now.
And he was pulled down the hallway to Broog as Zykariel quickly asked for things. "Mommy said they gotta be special rings...can't look like normal ones." He didn't know why but that's what mommy said. A wave to broog. "Hi Broog!"

"What bill would that be? supplies and storage? Or are you just trying to weasel money to go after your amber addiction for jewelry?"
A light smirk.
"Private matters he wanted kept confidential. was even willing to offer payment to keep it private. and you know I wouldn't take a peice of steal without keeping my end of the bargain."
Broog turned on his stool and flipped up his magnifying headpiece and waved to both boys with that big grin of his.
"Halloo kidz. Wut's youz here for?"
