They were going to cook again! Daddy was so full of surprises sometimes and he always let him help. Or at least that's the first thing than ran through his mind, not that he would be upset if they just had the help do it. Point was he was with daddy, knew where he was and that he was okay. As long as daddy was okay and his own head didn't feel bad then he knew that mommy was okay. After all the child knew what Bonds were, just not actively. "You think mommy is having lunch too?"
A look to Zykariel. "Oh it is, is it?" And he put on a show for the child by turning his back to Zahara as if hiding what he was doing from the woman, but Zykariel could see, pretending to need to glance at the 'instructions' in his pocket before giving the boy another look. Reaching into his tunic he drew out Nym and handed him to the boy, as well as the boy's little poel arm.
"Here, Nym needs some love. And, rule number one after lessons such as these; always clean your weapon. You don't want any dirt or anything getting caked in it now do you." Of course a moment of thought on that and he amended himself. "Don't touch the blades, I'll clean those later. So you go sit over there and do that okay?" Giving the boy a little push...if he was occupied he wouldn't need to worry about Zykariel seeing perhaps and adverse reaction to all of this.
Thus he turned back to Zahara and stepped up to her, reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring that he knew was hers, grasped her left hand and slipped it on her finger...because he knew the boy would be watching for all of that. "And that's for you Sweetheart. Enjoy."

Zykariel nodded and took the polearm then skipped off over to the side and sat down, pretending to be all immersed in cleaning it with a cloth even though he didn't see any dirt or anything on it and he'd been told not to touch the blades which were dirty. But he covertly watched his parents, grinning as he watched Daddy lift Mommy's hand and put the ring on her finger. That was nice, wasn't it?
Zahara stared down at the ring for a few moments, speechless even while everything was coming together in her mind. That proved it. She was engaged. The ring was very pretty though and if she looked closely she could even see the horses running along the outer rim. Her gaze went back up to meet Sevilin's and she quirked an eyebrow. "Aren't you supposed to ask something too?" Shockingly enough all she felt like doing was grabbing him by the tunic and planting a kiss on him. The anger and frustration from earlier had just sort of melted away.

He mimicked her look a moment as she asked him if there was something he needed to ask her. Here was the thing...obvioulsy the kid didn't know that there was usually a proposal with this type of thing, otherwise it would be in those instructions he cutely wrote up. So then, he didn't want to force her into something real with such a proposal....so he went with another plan. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his own ring and he held it out of her. "Want to put mine on me?" That would suffice for the child.

She glanced at the ring in his hand then looked up at him again before swiping it casually from his palm and studying it. His was a little bigger and thicker than hers but then he was a male and they liked bigger jewelry. Broog did such lovely work didn't he? "Sure." Taking his left hand, she easily slipped the ring onto his finger, settling it just behind the knuckle and hesitating a moment, her gaze still locked on the band she'd just placed on his finger. She reached out and lightly ran the pad of her thumb over the ruby then glanced up at him. "It's very nice..." Hmm...she was feeling..odd...
It took every ounce of self control the child had not to leap for joy and shout to the Underdark that his parents were married. It had finally happened, Daddy had put the ring on Mommy's finger and surprise of all surprises, Mommy had put Daddy's on his. Now he just needed to get Keely to burn the candles and everything would be perfect. Grinning, he turned back to his polearm and scoured the handle for dirt.

Well surprise on that, he didn't expect her to do it honestly, but if she wanted to that was fine with him, and it worked quite nice for the child's piece of mind now wasn't it? Indeed. But he let her put his own ring on and watched her curiously for the moment. Hm, she was acting a little odd. A little nod at her comment. "Indeed they are, but that's what you get when you have the best jewlers. Now don't go taking it off...you'll loose it or Nym will steal and then there goes your nice ring." And check establishment of telling her not to take it off. Should make the child very very happy. Though oddly enough he found he sorta liked the thought of them being 'engaged'.

Studying her ring closely she let it wink and catch in the light from the torches down in the arena. It was a very pretty ring. "I won't and the same goes for you. Nym likes the red ones best of all." She was quiet for a moment and then finally asked what she was dying to know. "So are you going to marry me now or is this just pretend?" This seemed like a moment for something to happen...sex or something...

Okay so he didn't expect the same response back at all, thus was growing ever intriguing wasn't it? He shoved his hands in his pockets, shifting his weight to one side for the moment. Though an odd blink at her at her sudden and highly unexpected question. Why would she ask such a thing? After all, there was no way she would allow such a thing, he'd been ranted to about that particular thing of hers. Sevilin let his eyes meet hers for a moment, gave a lopsided grin and casually shrugged in answer to her. "Tell me when you decide Sweetheart." Thus turning and walking over to Zykariel for the moment. "How you doing with that thing?"

Malik was in the kitchen with Malikhai, and they were cooking. mostly right now they were working on the same meal he'd made before, and adding some fluffy biscuts to it and he was showing his son how to cut carrots and broccoli to boil for a side dish.
"Everything going alright there? need any help?"
not that malik wouldn't have minded letting the help do the work, but this kept his son entertained and both thier minds of his mother and the thousands of potentially bad scenes that might occur.

So down the stiars they headed, down so far that their knees hurt from going down so many steps. At the bottom, there was just a flat floor, with an open door at one end. The sat on the last step to get a rest. The fire rays had followed them down as well. Fin watched then, Leaf ignored them before Fin was watching them.
"Hopefully, we are getting close."
Roarke shrugged. "Something tramatic triggered it perhaps?"
He rubbed at his temple. "Can't say I've really noticed. She was comming at me pretty fast, after all."
"Hey, Eliot? You there? Think now, what happened before Kon came into the picture?"

She just nodded and went back to gazing at her ring. Where was Piper when you needed her? She would have some sort of explanation for the way Zahara was feeling and she could easily walk her through it and help her understand. Right now she was completely on her own and that was a scary thought. She watched Sevilin walk over to their son and adopted the pose she'd first had when she came into the arena. He was such a good father...it was rather sweet to see those two interacting like that. She blinked for a moment when she realized where her thoughts had taken her and shook her head. What was going on with her today? Ah well, back to admiring her newest acquisition.
Zykariel looked up and couldn't hardly hide the beaming smile plastered on his face. "Really, really good. I cleaned every inch of the staff just like you told me too but I didn't touch the blade 'cause I didn't want to cut myself. See?" Holding up the mini polearm for his father's inspection. If it passed Daddy's cleanliness test, he would know he'd done a great job.

Roarke and the pups looked at Kon as she started shaking with laughter. She weezed and growled as she did so.
"Well that's not very nice" Said Mik.
Jude sighed. "Seems that Eliot cannot come into consouness freely. kon has pushed her back, and allows her out occasionaly to... well to mess with her."

She wasn't inclined to move for the moment...even she was feeling the head and she was growing increasingly paranoid about the rays that were following them...maybe it was because they had the fire orb with them...though that wouldn't be any more comforting now would it? Nope, things were still following and that still made for paranoia. Piper wiped the back of a gloves hand over her face and exhaled heavily. Heat, not fun. "Any closer and we may start to sizzle..." Another look back at the rays.
Apparently daddy didn't want to talk about mommy since his question went unanswered...but he figured that was okay. After all it seemed whenever he did, he always felt sad or angry...at least that's what Malikahi's head was telling him subconciously. Thus he kept occupied with his vegetable cutting...though his cuts were irregular and oddly shaped. "No I got it." Because he liked being able to do things on his own and know he was doing them at least remotely right. A look at the broccoli and he sneered. "Do we gotta have broccoli?"
He looked over the weapon, telling himself to not be overly analytical about anything. "You did a right fine job." Taking the little double bladed polearm from the child and the rag as well, wiping the blades off for the boy and handing it back to him. "There you are, all nice and clean now." Hm, was the boy a tad bit more upbeat than before? Good.

Zykariel gave another grin to his father and took the polearm back then jumped up and glanced at his mother. Shoving his father towards her he said, "I gotta go tell Keely stuff, Daddy." He hugged his father's legs quickly and then carefully walked back upstairs, setting his polearm against a wall and toddled off to find Keely. "Keely! Guess what?" Oh yes, he was excited.
Zahara watched her son race off, carrying the polearm so very carefully. Now that was just cute, wasn't it? And the child was tken care of. But she glanced at Sevilin for a moment and then a slow smile lifted her lips. Pushing herself to her feet, she walked down to him and grabbed his arm, "Follow me." She led him to the rather small room she'd spent so much time in the last few days and quite easily grasped the edge of his tunic pulling it off. The door was shut and she was leaning back against it so that shouldn't be a problem either. Grabbing his shoulders she held onto him and pulled him down for a kiss. "I need you. Right here, right now..." she whispered.

Keely was helping doing some cleaning when the child came upon her. Easily enough she set down her rag and turned to him, givng the child her attention. "Well aren't you excited. What's happened that's so great Zykariel?" Might as well let him get it out of his system before he absolutely burst.
He did take a step forward at his son's pushing and then shook his head with a light smile as he ran off to apparently tell Keely something or other. Wasn't that just cute? But then a look back to Zahara and he was duely pulled off and to...someplace. Though next thing he knew he was out of his tunic and left only in chainmail before he was being kissed and well...she was pretty much telling him why he was suddenly in this situation. A blink at him and he studied her a moment. Oh! That was that particular look and feeling right...her instincts had rolled around again. What a time they picked. "I suppose I can give you what you need...no reason for you to suffer after all."

"I agree." Said Fin.
Leaf led the way into the open door. Inside was another pillard room, this one however was nicely lit. Fire jumped up from the base of red, fluted columns. Twelve of them spanned across the distance, wider than you could wrap your arms around. Not that they could have gotten close enough with the fire anyway. The rays followed them in, and each one took to lazily circling a pillar. Three of them found a raised dias at the furthest end of the room, and floated there, waiting for them.
"You know," said Roarke leaning in towards the wolf. "You're kind of annoying. Look at you, all bound there on the floor, all you can do is growl and bark."
"Silly excuse for a wolf, I'd think." He rubbed his nails on his shirt.
