"I never said I would of tried to do anything, and I know how it is for humans...I've been around them long enough to know how they work, how long they have and even long enough to turn more than one a phrase from thier times." Shaking her head lightly. "I'm just a little more than angry that the one thing she asked me to do, never got done. Mostly in part of selfish gods above that care not for the mortal world at all." But a dismissive wave of her hand at all of that. "I don't want to talk about it, least I want to drown myself in this tub." A sigh at that before looking to him. "Grab me a towel before I do?"
Yay it seemed to work. That made him a happy little elf now didn't it? Very much so. That made him a happy little elf. But a look to Zahara as his friend ran off. "Mommy got one for me and daddy, it's not hard. And daddy said it's all about trust. I trust Zykariel." To him, even if it was emphasised repeatedly that trust was an absolute had to be no doubt at all, it was still simple as that.
Sevilin was loitering around in hallways, mostly meandering and trying to make decisions...he should just go out there, find Khaiver, have this little talk with him and then get him the hell out of his life...but he feared letting Khaiver go back...what if he told Marrkellyn and the others? But a little voice drew his attention adn then the little elf was in sightline. "Yes Zykariel?"

Zahara nodded and ruffled his hair. She monitored the cookies and when they were done, pulled them out and began plopping them on a piece of parchment to cool. "After they cool down a little bit, you can take one up to your mother. I need to go see her anyway and do a favor for your father. Is there anything else you think she might like Malikhai?"
Zykariel paused for a moment, stopping and blinking. He hadn't expected to find him that quick, he hadn't even figured out how he was going to get Daddy to say yes. "Malikhai and I wanna have a bond but Mr. Malik said we had to have permission from you and Mommy but Mommy said it was okay so now I just need permission from you and I really really wanna have one. Can I Daddy, please?"

He was leaning over the back of the chair, occassionally wiping his forehead with his arm, he was still feeling icky and his head and cheeks were hot. "No...I don't feel too many rocks." Which meant mommy was relatvely fine, any that he did feel were probably because she was unwinding...but boy was he anxious to cling to her. "Can I have something to drink?"
He stopped and looked down at the child, hands in his pockets. They had a constant tingly feeling...must of meant magic was coming back especially since it was common knowledge that Piper was back, which meant she fixed the magic deal. Tomorrow if it felt stronger he was going to reinstate hsi runics. But attention back to the child. "Sure..." Yup, that was easier than expected, wasn't it?

"well I have no intention of letting you drown. besides, I think you have something in the stables that I bet you are eager to take a look at. not to mention you have a clerical appointment today, and your son is probably chomping at the bit to spend time with you."
though a pause.
"Malikhai has a bit of a fever. Yinn scratched him yesterday, and got him with some of that venom. hence the reason it's wearing pairs of malikhai's old boots. he thought it a good idea to solve the problem."

"Forgive my lack of enthusiasm for anything much right now...I've just been through a hell of a lot of trouble that has an end with very little positive outcome." Draining her wine glass before grabbing her towel and getting herself up, why did she have to be all sore, getting out of the tub and wrapping her towel around herself...she couldn't stand water too long right now. "After all Meilikki dies when I still owe her something, Fin and Leaf are going to go home to find out they don't have one anymore, Delta is taking over for Meilikki and who knows what her agenda is, surface who knows if its in the works or not, you're doing business with someone you shouldn't, and my son has a fever." Giving a sigh and shaking her head, yeah she was still all stressed out and such...why couldn't she just get herself back into the life she had before hand. Then a look to Malik. "Do I look different to you?" And now odd questions.

"How about this for positive outcome. you got a pair of firewinged zephmares, Lateef and his wife are going to be visiting, your son's fever will be gone probably in a few hours, I had one of your clients who managed to shortchange Zahara pay double what he owed with a little persuassion, the house is standing fine, soon our little kingdom will be back to normal, and Khavier is going away shortly and not coming back, Mahlari is going to get her just rewards for what she did to your father, and yoru husband plans on spoiling you rotten for at least a few days and you have a son that is going to be spending as much time as he can with you."
then a raise of his eyebrow.
"No. you look as beautiful and elegant as the day I met you. your hair is a little longer, but that's it, and it's expected since you've been gone awhile and not exactly been able to go to a barber or cut it yourself safely."

Zahara glanced down at the little boy and noted his flushed cheeks. It was easy to tell on Tier'dal since their skin was that bluish color. Fevers turned htem purple. "Malikhai, do you feel alright?" She put a hand to his forehead and sure enough, little boy was burning up. She knew the cause of his fever but checked his arm to make sure he could move it and everything was alright. "Sure you can but first I want you to drink this." She reached into her pocket and uncapped a vial then handed it to him before pouring him a glass of water. "Drink up little one."
"Really?" That's all there was to that? Daddy wasn't going to say no or tell him to be responsible or careful or anything. Suspicious now, he crossed his arms and studied his father closely, adopting the pose he often got when he wasn't too sure of a situation or just plain irritated. "Why?"

"Well...I suppose that a sufficent amount to kill my negatives...and I could use a little spoiling...you got me all used to not running around everywhere and taking reverie on any uncomfortable surface and such. I'm never doing that kind of thing again though...I think I've had the big adventure of my life now." Grabbing a second towel and throwing it over her head, starting at drying her hair some. "Aren't you a flatterer even when I'm all banged up. And you should be proud of me, I wanted to chop it off several times, but I didn't just for you....I'm just happy it's its natural color again...doesn't look good mud colored." And it was all nice and soft and grime free again. Then a smirk. "And I was all awkward and still growing when you met me." True enough she did indeed put on at least another inch or so in the time she spent with Malik. She just felt a little differenet right now.
"Icky." He took hold of the vial and then downed it all quick like before taking the glass of water and sipping at it very very lightly. He looked at it a moment and then drank the rest of it. Handing back the empty glass he dropped down from the chair and took hold of Yinn, who was still wearing shoes and not exactly sure why he had them on, or how to chew at his claws now.
Wasn't that cute? The child was mimicking his postures. "Yes really...and becuase I know how bonds can be. Usually it's a bad thing, but it can also be a very good thing. You and Malikhai are close. And contrary to popular belief, in the underdark you can't just look after yourself...you need someone to watch after you as well." A blink at his son. "Fair enough?"

Yup, that's what she'd been afraid of. "I imagine you are." Poor baby, but that just showed the amazing ability of children. Even with a fever they could still run around and pretend like nothing at all was wrong. She chuckled at Yinn's feet and scratched the little draithix behind his ears. "I see you solved the problem of Yinn scratching anyone else. Good thinking Malikhai." Taking the glass she dropped it in the sink then handed him a cookie and dropped a few more onto a plate. "Let's go take your Mom her cookies."
"Yup." Nodding happily and slipping his hand into his father's. "Malikhai will be real happy when I tell him that." He knew his father was probably making his rounds and the child wanted to walk with him. "So then you and Mommy should have one too, right?"

A look to Yinn. "He doesn't like them though and he has trouble walking." A little sad face at that, he didn't want his pet walking funny and being unhappy...but he liked feeling his things too. Ping, idea. "You're good friends with the tailor, you think he could make Yinn some boots he could walk good in?" After all...a normal boot wasn't somthing a draithix could utilize well at all. But he switched Yinn to one arm, he was geting a little big to hold, and took his cookie then started out the kitchen. "She probably needs to eat something anyway, she's cranky when she's hungry."
He squeezed the boy's hand and then let him walk next to him, the boy often joined him on rounds and such. "Yes he will." Though a blink and a look down at his son then. "Maybe...but it's a hard thing to for adults." Hopefully that would suffice for an answer right now."

Zahara had actually been thinking along the same lines. Perhaps reinforced booties of a sort would be better for the little draithix. He'd be able to walk much better in them and they wouldn't have to worry about those claws getting in any other little elve's skin. "I think so. It can't hurt to ask him. I can do that for you if you like." She followed after the little boy, plate in hand and headed up to Piper and Malik's room. "Knock on the door Malikhai."
Zykariel swung the hand that was encased in his and walked off down the hallway with his father. "How come it's hard? You trust Mommy right? I mean you let her watch me and sometimes you two disappear and I don't know where you are but I know you're both going to come back so it's okay. And you always forgive her when she gets into trouble." He was quiet for a moment and then out came more questions. "Do you have a bond with me Daddy?"

Malik snuck over and put his hands on hers and took the towel from her hands and worked on drying her hair, nuzzling her neck lightly.
"but you still looked as good."
a slight chuckle and getting her hair nice and dry, even kneeling down to make sure, before sliding his hands up along her form in a caress even through her towel, and around her waist.
"I'd hope so. I've had a few big adventures, as you well know."
though a glance at the door and a slight grin.
"I think room service is here."

"Well, yes I do. But things like that are just harder for adults to do...you see, bonding involves more than one process...bonding really isn't done...it just happens from close contact. Communion is a thing that can be done, and it makes bonding easier, but grown ups have a lot more things to show the other than children. It's complicated." A look down to the child once more. "You and me? Yes, somewhat...it's not like Malik and Malikhai's, only because they've had communion, but we do have one." There's was weaker than Malik's and Malikhai's by a long shot from that one missing aspect. Hm, he'd have to ask Malik about that.
"And then, just so he won't get mad, we can do it like a falcon. You know, how you take the stuff off when you want them to do things? Then his claws won't get all bad and stuffs." But there in front of thier parents door and he set Yinn down on the floor and knocked, then pushed it open some and poked his head in. Closed bathroom door said mommy and daddy were still in there so it was okay to get into the bedroom. "Mommy we brought cookies!"
A smile as she let him take over the hair drying process, hey she kept it long for him so he better damn be sure to put in an effort to help her with it when he could. "I suppose." Though that slow intake of breath at his nuzzling and his hands on her...hey she had spent quite a while without any contact at all from him...besides, being close once more meant that bonds were feeling oh so good once more. But a few blinks as she shook her head to right her mind a little at the knock at the door a little laugh at the announcement. "Indeed...and because cookies make it all better." Discarding both towels, she grabbed her silk robe from a peg on the wall, pulling it on and belting it, "Come on then, you and me can hide out in the bathroom together later." Giving him that telling look before walking out into the bedroom, seeing Malikhai and Zahara. "Cookies, how thoughtful.

Zahara gave a smile to Piper and resisted the urge to hug her friend. "He wanted to make cookies and it was his idea to bring them up. I, however, have a double purpose. Malik requested that I check you over and make sure nothing horrible is going on with you. You apparently gave him quite the startle when you came in. Let's see...you were, icky from head to toe, I believe?"
Zykariel listened and matched what Daddy was telling him up with what he knew. "That's the c-word Malikhai couldn't think of!" Well that was exciting. "Communion." He'd have to remember it to tell Malikhai later. "So if we did that communion thingy then we could have one like Malikhai and his daddy do?"
Though he continued to skip off down the hall and wave to various serfs and such that he knew. "Well, if you and mommy were to commune, you'd both see scary things since you grew up with scary stuff, right? But you two aren't scared of anything. I think it would be a good idea, Daddy. It would keep mommy from ever leaving us." He grinned and glanced up at his father, "Guess what Daddy? I felt my green stuff move inside me today. Does that mean it's back for good now?"

Smiling down at his son, and keeping one arm around Piper's waist while his mussed his hair lightly.
"well how nice. her clerical appointment and room service in one fell swoop. good timing."
giving a kiss to his wife's cheek and moving from her and digging through some things....good still had those blue vials. Caprice and Lateef would probably need them. then sitting himself on the bed, and resting his hands on his knee, letting Zahara do her job and Malikhai have mom relatively to herself for a little bit.
