He smirked. "I dare say you're trying to make me turn on Mahlari, D'vinn." Tilting his head in almost innocent fashion. "I can see what you're trying to do...play on my pride, play on how things are, play on the facts of Andal itself. Your cunning is admirable...but unlike say, Sevilin. Which is exactly why you have him now to your own whims. He's just a dog that heels at your boot rather than Mahlari's now."
Crossing his arms over his chest lightly, dare say he was amused looking. "You see, you've only really known one Obsidian...and Sevilin was never up to par either...but like all the others, he's tried to take that top spot as well. Yes even him. In the end...some just never break a habit and need to merely play subservient to whomever is willing to take the leash as you're fond of putting it."
Another smirk. "Sevilin is a poor example to think everyone else on that ideal of how it all goes. I am far from being Sevilin...truely the weak compared to the strong. If you're trying to turn my opinion...kudos, but no cookie."

Pulling Fin along by the collar. "Agreed."
Ahead of them, one huge eye peered at them from around a corner. it could do this, beucase it appeared to be on the end of a stalk.
It blinked.
"Well, there it is."
"Maybe it's friendly?"
"I sincerly doubt it."
Leaf pulled out a sword and a short sailors dirk.
The thing behind the corner pulled the rest of it'self into view. A gigantic slug, it's eyes swinging on the ends of long stalks, crumbled, damaged dragonfly-like wings. Looks like the thing got stuck in here some time ago.

"wrong on both counts. I've no need to turn you to service in my name. things are already set into motion. However, I do like to enlighten those less fortunate to what they can be, rather than what they are. and while you may not turn your jaws on the hand that feeds you, the same ideals can be filtered through you to those that have nothing to lose."
A slight smirk.
"think sevilin merely heels to me? that he is so passive now that I can command him to do any given thing at any time? he and I have had our conflicts. and he has suffered for it. I have heard him scream, and I have heard him whimper. and I know what a runemage is capable of, I've experienced it."
"Your powerful, Khavier. there's no doubt about that. physically, and mentally. but your spirit is lacking. Sevilin may not be as strong as you in the first two areas, but he is in the third. he could endure things that would break you. probably his insanity helps that. partition his mind, sacrifice some to save the whole. Sevilin's mind is a maze. filled with cages and rooms. no one has touched the true core of Sevilin's being for a long, long time. and I imagine if it was set free of it's maze, you would be quite surprised at what he is capable of."

Piper...tilted her head. "Okay...now I've seen really nasty things before, but that's just gross." Pulling her bow off her back and knocking an arrow, just to be safe. "Okay...so giant nasty slug...what's the catch." Because normally slugs were horribly slow creatures and such. "And I guess no one has any salt on them convieniently huh?" This...was going to be interesting...and she swore if she got covered in slug slime, oh it was over.
He shrugged. "Everyone has a streak of defiance, but that's all it is. Fight with you he may but tell me, he does eventually come to call and do on command, doesn't he?" He was confident in that little area about it...no one knew Sevilin better than him after all. A light chuckle. "His insanity may protect him in some aspects, but one day it's going to be too much for even him to handle. That's the thing about mental damage...it doesn't get reversed. And he'll just be lost forever in his own mind...simple as that." He didn't worry at all about Sevilin, he knew how to cull him.

"Would anything be convieniant for us?"
The purians ran ahead of Piper, leaving her to work her long range magic while they moved in close. There was a catch alright, the slug was freaking fast. it whipped it's head to the side catching leaf in mid stride and slamming her agiant's the wall.
Fin took that opportunity to to jump onto the creaturs back, subsiquantly slipped in slug slime and fell off again.

"Of course not..." And a rather fast slug...hm, they were screwed to a point. "This is wht I don't get close." Thus aiming for an eye, and firing off an arrow, already grabbing another arrow, firing that one off too...and then let's take some cover. "Hey! Can either of you two use a bow?!" Because she had herself somewhat of and idea...after all that thing was going to get the better of them if it was allowed to slink around...

Leaf left a dagger in the side of the slugs head, but it didn't seem to much care. Thick skin I guess.
The arrow would have it, if the slug hadn't ducked to open it's mouth at Fin, displaying a row of pointy, slimey teeth.
"fin took one look at the teeth, turned and followed Piper. "Of course we both can, we're Purians."

"Oh good." Shoving her bown and quiver into Fin's chest." Guess what you get to do, I have an idea." Thusly she dug around in the bag out her side...and pulled out an Andalian misery chain...she stared at it a moment, somewhat affected by the sight of it, but she snapped out of it quickly. "You two keep it distracted, don't get too close." Thus to one of the pillars in the room, looping the chain around it to provide herself some grip and she took to scaling the thing. Whoo ability to climb things was really working in her favor these days...just had to get close enough...place looked carved enough to keep giving her grips.

"Yay, pointy things." Fin took the bow with ease and began distracting. He kept it busy mostly by shooting aorudn the slugs eyes, though he wasn't aiming to hit at all. just agitate and keep th thing dodging.
Leaf pulled out her own bow and did some as well, making the slug move from concentrating on it's eyes, to watching where it's body was going.

"mental illness can be repaired, reveresed. humans found there are methods to do it, though thier minds aren't nearly what ours are."
looking over the armor, giving a nod to Tremor.
"though my biggest point is that soon, if things go accordingly...your going to have to make a choice. serve Mahlari, or serve yourself. She owes me, and I am going to collect on that payment."
then a slight smirk.
"But onto other subjects more casual. how are you enjoying your room and stay here? has service been satisfactory so far?"

Ha ha climbing things...which a chain around her shoulder that made her all kinds of nervous...she just couldn't help it but she was trying to keep it from splaying across bond ties too much..which was hard somewhat what with well...a giant slung to deal with. Just needed to get to those wings. So there she was, working her way around on stone work before she found herself in nice position. And once in position? Well it was merely lasso like toss of chain, the metal hook fiding purchange at the base of a wing, yay aim! One point of contact in, it was a leap down, slipping some on the creature but using the chain to keep herslef anchored, though let her boot slide to the oppostite side of the creature and then the other. There we are, wings tied up. A twist of the chain to get it to lengthen and she slid down the side, ran to a piller and wrapped the other end around it securely. There...slug anchor. Though she was probably closer than she needed to be to said thing now. "Stop wasting those Fin and and start making shots that count." That thing would at least lose it's ability to leave it's current position. Thus out came the sword. Thick skinned it may be, but it was still squishy.
"An elven mind once altered on itself so much that not even it's owener can control it...I see as being something dmaged and never to be fixed again. Though that's his own doing...coping is hardly what I would call it." A tilt of his head at Malik before he shook it lightly. "You are a man with many faces...you speak of retribution for your family...yet seek to distance them further than they are from you already...intriguing indeed. And before you think we're barbarians in the way of family, we're not. Family is quite the thing to Obsdians. Though Marrkellyn is rather...worried...about her little brother. But I know if I told her I found him...well, he'd be quite petrified."
A slight chuckle at that before he sobered himself and gave Malik an amused look as he rested his hands in the small of his back as the subject went casual. "It's all quite satisfactory...interesting that you'd want an opinion on my stay, but I guess that has it's own dastardly means, doesn't it? Looking to make my life hard?"

"there's no love lost between my family and Mahlari. I'm a serious person, and sometimes doing things that need done requires small sacrifices. And I imagine he would be. Sevilin's existance here is not for Andal to know outside you, Mahlari and Silvercrest. I find one person from the Inthra household in my realm and they won't come back."
a slight smirk.
"Hardly. but things have become a bit...hectic of late, and I do like to know those servants i have are still doing thier jobs to the degree they need to do. if not, I'll have to fix that."
resting his hand on his sword.
Sevilin...I can't keep him here forever. get the kids something to eat, and get them back upstairs.
Before catching bond tenses and fears and problems over from his wife, that got his ears to twitch and eyes to narrow slightly...then a shake of his head.
"How soon can we expect Mahlari's response this time. I'm sure she doesn't want this too dragged out."

"Small sacrifices...would you consider a restrcition of the D'vinn family from the Andalian plane a small sacrifice." Seemingly implying knowing something more than he was telling...which is what he was doing...after all, Malik wasn't the first to mess with things and he wouldn't be the last. History had a tendency to repeat itself. But a wave of his hand. "I'm fine...though I dare say should I be offended that that little wife of yours I haven't seen around. I'm sure she still has a bone or two to pick with me."
But then a little shrug. "Depends on if she's taking reverie or not. If she is you may not get your response for a bit, Telisha won't send anything even if she gets the letter, that would be crunching Mhalari's toes. Even Telisha knows when to play smart."
Sevilin literally jumped at the voice in his head...which the boys thought was amusing and he didn't. Great, just great eh was so fricken jumpy. Not because of Khaiver persay but because of whom Khaiver would sell information to. A look to the boys. "Come on you two, let's get some dinner." Taking them both downstairs so they could at lwast get a choice of what they wanted and then some snacks for later as well, taking them both back upstairs to his room for the time being.
"How come we can't go play?" Because he had already told them no once and the room just wasn't big enough to horse around in...though they did have Yinn and Nym to play with...though Nym was still kinds slow and sick looking, and Yinn was still a baby.
"Because...we have company and your father doesn't want any disruptions."

Leaning back against the stall wall, she gently stroked the horse, speaking to her softly in her native language. It wasn't without complications and Zahara wasn't sure they were going to ever have a baby foal. She glanced at Keely for a moment as the horse began straining and snorting and she got up on her knees and began to soothe the animal. More contractions had come. "Push Fyleshin, push." A lot of sweat, blood and screams later, they had a baby foal. It was a little girl and Zahara gently took the towel and wiped the mucus and membrane out of her eyes. Fyleshin was still struggling though. Zahara gestured to Keely, "Clean off this foal, I think we've got a problem." She moved back into position going back to soothing the horse and then she felt the distended stomach and laughed as her fingers moved around the outline of another little equestrian body. "She's got twins! Come on Fyleshin, we're not quite done yet." Piper was going to be so upset she'd missed this. Thus it was back to work.
He wasn't happy at all. Even playing had lost its excitement since he knew he couldn't go anywhere else. He hardly touched his food, mostly just kicked at his chair and pouted. It wasn't fair at all. Why couldn't they leave the room? Mommy wasn't in the room and he knew who was downstairs. Daddy's friend, whom he wasn't supposed to know about. He wantd to meet him.
Moving over by Malikhai, he reached out and petted lightly at Yinn, keeping his voice at a whisper. "Khai, wanna meet my Daddy's friend with me?"

"that won't happen."
shrugging at Khavier.
"then I'll leave you again to your own devices for now."
And left Khavier to Tremor and the guard with him, before getting himself something to eat and heading upstairs to the room Sevilin and the chilrden were occupying.
"How's the studying going?"
