She chuckled, "Maybe a little bit of both." She still wondered what private matters her son felt the need to take to Malik but knew better than to pry. If he'd paid to keep it quiet then she wasn't going to put Malik in a untenable position and threaten the boy's trust.
Zykariel burst out happily. "Special rings. Rings like Mr. Malik and Miss Piper have except I need them for my Mommy and Daddy. And Mommy's gotta have purple on hers and Daddy's gotta have red on his. Or maybe we should put both colors on both?" He tilted his head for a moment then giggled, "My Mommy and Daddy are getting married!"

He snickered. "It's not the amber addiction you have to watch out for Malik, it's the spice addication...and after that earthquake, all of hers are now covering my floor..." Gods he could just cringe at the state his own house had been left it...it was going to be a b***h yet a joy to clean when he was allowed to move back in it. But a look over to Malik. "Don't take all his steel now."
It was infectious! Zykariel being so happy made Malikhai thus so. But a blink at his friend at the newly proclaimed statement. "They are?!" That was great news wasn't it? Because he knew that was what Zykariel wanted, because that's what he had. How wonderful was that!

"I imagine as much. spices to cooks is like cinnamon to surface elves."
A slight grin, and a fraction of a second smug little glance to Sevilin. see he could keep her off the trail.
Broog stared at both boys, tilted and scratched his head...then filed information away for later. but leaned over and placed his hands on his knees.
"Youz wants da special ringz? and da master would pays broog for its? Da runes master guyz gets reds and Zawhara gets da purkle. anyting else you wants on da ringz?"

"I can't help it and you get good food so don't you dare complain." Then a nod to Malik. "Yes but some of those things that you really desperately needed are quite expensive and since half of the ingredients that grew on the eastern side are gone, that's going to jack the price considerably for future forays into the marketplace. Just a heads up in that regard." Then she snapped her fingers. "I should have asked Isle for some more amber too. Arthur coudl bring it back with him when he comes."
"Yes!" He frowned for a moment and then shook his head. "I don't think so. Mr. Malik and Miss Piper don't have anything else on their rings, do they?" What else coudl you put on a ring anyway? Looking at Malikhai for confirmation that his parents had gems and rings but that was it.

Wasn't Malik proud of himself? Of course he was. Sevilin held up a finger in that attention commanding way. "Sweetheart, if you don't require it to live, you don't really desperatly need it." Smirking at her because he always pulled that...after all, sure made the food taste good, but you didn't have to have it. Him and his practical self. "Likes to run my steel into the ground..." Though since Malik had given him quite the payoff, he wasn't really complaining anymore...well, he guessed that was until an earthquake had to go and destroy most of his stuff.
He tilted his head in thought cutely. "Nuh uh that's all." Of course he didn't know that Malik's ring actually had an inscription on the inside of the band, but that was because his father had never taken it off so he never saw. "But mommy's ring is skinner than daddy's 'cause she's a girl. Oh and your dadddy has to give it to your mommy!" Because that was the way it worked, right? Right. Child logic.

Leaf and Fin both nodded. Leaf pointed. "Over there, there is an outcropping on that peak that will suit as a starting point."
When they had landed, forms shot into the sky as if the four had disturbed their rest. They were red, somehwat transparent, and flew like giant stingrays through the air. After the initial scare, they floated lazily along but did not settle again. Leaf counted about fifteen of them.
"The fire temple."
Roarke nodded. "Ah yes, well maybe you pups haven't relaly figured this out yet. You remember that lovely little earthquake we had a little while ago? Well that heralded the disapearance of magic. Magic is probably what helped you to change your forms so quickly and easily."
"As for this con, who is obviously Eliot...." he looked at the wolf. "Eliot. Eliot? You know of her kon? Hear of her, feel her anywhere?"

Zell rolled his eye. "Of course "Kon" sounds like "Kin" there's only one letter difference!"
Kuro wrinkled her brow. "Is that what this is? no magic?...."
Adso beemed. "Man this is great! We are going to kick some a**!" he pumped a fist into the air.
Kon snorted loudly.
"She says Eliot is a weak hearted fool." Jude Translated.

Okay she admittedly watching in wonder at the floating red creatures, there were interesting things to see around here weren't they. But her attention snapped back as her ears twitched to the sound of Leaf's voice. "The fire temple...hm, good thing elves withstand temperature somewhat." Though then it dawned on her somewhat...that's why the ceiling rose so much...volcano like perhaps. "Alright, then. Fire temple it is. Serino will come with us this time...he can keep the temperature down some. Let's find ourselves a way into this place."

Leaf nodded, Fin took out his weapons. Quickly looking about the area, they soon found that the fire rays were moving in and out of the peaks via small tunnles. Thhey ran right through each peak, and on the other side each peak was attached by a bridge. As they travely along these, the rays followed at a distance.
"The appear to be elemental. Probably attrackted to us because of body heat." Fin shrugged. "Probably not violent."
"Probably."
They began to see the same type of writing here on the walls as they did in the earth temple. Fin and Leaf needed no help from a light source, as the rays glowed around them.
Roarke laughed. "You ARE Eliot, Kon. One and the same. You are as weak as she is."
"Now hold on one second! Now that the rest of Labyrinth is at a disadvantage that does not give you any right to suddenly 'kick a**'. You must respect your opponents handicap and behave as you ever have."

Adso's head fell, "Pardon my actions Raorke, I will respect my opponents, as you have drilled into my head on a numbe rof occasions..."
Zachadia laughed ou tloud at adso, "It does put us at a slight handicap as well, chaning froms mid battle was part of our battle forms and attacks. Now that will be impossoble for us."
Jude tilted his head. "Kon disagrees with you Roarke. She believes to be far superior that...um..."Mutt"
Kaida voiced her own thoughts. "She says that Her and Eliot are entirely different beings."
Zell scoffed. "That can't be right. If this Kon, is indeed Eliot, how can they be different?"

"Probably isn't a comforting answer...besides we can't be the hottest things around here can we? I mean we are at a fire temple." Making sure to watch her step and the steps of her companions as they traveled along, though Piper was keep to watch the things that were following them...after all, it would not be fun if one had a tantrum and caused trouble directly or indirectly for them. "So then...by deduction of our last temple where the altar was at the deepest part...it's probable to say that the fire altar will be in the hottest spot in this temple." Crap.

"I'm sure she does. but alright, you get what you feel is needed, and I'll foot the bill for the stores here. Is that what you were wanting to hear Zahara?"
A slight smirk over at her.
Broog nodded.
"Yeas, yous fadder has to give it toos yous mawder. dats da way it works."

She shook her head, "Tell that to the poor mortal suffering from a horrible headache that he just can't get rid of. He thinks he needs it desperately or he will die." But she had to agree she didn't have to have her spices, it was just nice that she got them. Made for such lovely cuisine. "And if I have to eat cooking like you make, I really will die." But she nodded, quite pleased at Malik and leaned back in her seat. "Precisely."
"Smaller ring for Mommy, bigger ring for Daddy." Zykariel nodded. "Okay. I'll give them both to Daddy and he can give Mommy hers and then they can get married! How long is it gonna take Broog?" Yup, Zykariel was antsy.

"Yeah you probably would." After all what he cooked usually didn't count as food, but he didn't care to have that argument with her anymore...it just went in a vicious circle anyway. A look over to Malik. "And now I have to thank you because she's dipping into your steel not mine." A blink. "Though I suppose dipping into yours is dipping into mine since you pay me..." Damn it.
He merely stood at his friend's side, sharing in the excitment. But then he remembered something and he held up his hand to Zykariel and pointed to his ring finger on his left hand. "They gotta wear them on this one. Something's special about this one. Mommy and daddy both wear thiers liek that."

A slight grin.
"I learned better than the constant arguing over such things with women. because they won't stop until either you snap or give in."
A slight shrug at sevilin.
"I have more than enough steel."
Broog got a thoughtful look for a second.
"Wez be dones in maybes...half an hours."
