He nodded and turned his attention up from thier toys, nodding to Sevilin. "We did a really good job, even Zahara said so." Going about starting to pick up toys because that meant that his friend was going home.
He chuckled, patting the boy's hair as he latched to his legs, looking down at him as his son looked up. "Silly things make people get hurt. Which is why you should always really think about something before you do it." Detaching the boy from his legs a moment. "Mommy already looked at it...she wants to be careful about how it heels. You ready to go home?"

"Like jumping from the dresser to the bed and then off?" Zykariel blinked for a moment and shook his head. "Mommy looked at it? Then why isn't it all better?" A suspicious look. "Are you sure Mommy looked at it Daddy? 'Cause sometimes you tell her you ate and you only had a cookie and then only half of one because that's all I gave you which isn't lying but it isn't really the truth either."
She barely held in a chuckle as Zykariel went about pulling more details out of his father. There wasn't much that got past that boy which just showed how sharp little elves could truly be. Walking into the room, she ruffled his hair. "You need to help Malikhai clean up his toys." A glance at Sevilin, "Did you send the other bags already?"

"Yes like that. And yes, I promise you that mommy looked at it, she cleaned it all up and everything. Remember, magic is just coming back...we have to be careful for a bit longer. That includes mommy doing healing things." Sevilin turned crimson eyes to said woman as she came in the room. "Stopped by before I came here and did so. All our stuff is back home, probably in my training room."

Okay the blade stopped rattling in the closet on the shelf it was placed on, and out of self preservation. Malik gave a slight not at eh rainsongs, and leaned back in his seat, letting them enjoy things while his thoughts turned to his wife and soothing donw feathers to make her happy and relaxed.

"Ah yes, the surface elf curse. Wanderlust." A shake of his head and he began to eat a few different pieces of that plate, nodding. "Very good Malik. I have to say this was what I had in mind when my stomach told me it was feeling empty." Continuing to eat, he reached over and rested a hand on top of Caprice's, well aware of how she felt about Galesen. He wasn't too pleased himself but Isle made her own decisions and ended up in her own scrapes. She liked it that way. "I believe once we finish with the fortress the curse will indeed affect me. Although Malik mentioned an uninfested lake that interests me as well."
The little drow began pulling blocks off the huge fortress they had built and shoving them back into their proper bucket while his friend was cleaning up the play garments they'd used before boredom had sent them to the blocks. "Oh, okay." It made sense to him and as long as his mother had looked at it, that's all that mattered. He glanced at his friend for a moment and frowned. "I don't want Malikhai to be sad though..."
Nodding, Zahara began helping the boys clean up, folding play clothes and dropping them into the toy chest and scooping up other toys as well. "Malikhai, your father is downstairs with Lateef and Caprice. They're eating if you're still hungry. I want you to leave your mother alone or be very quiet if you sit in there with her. She really needs lots and lots of rest, peace and quiet, and most of all reverie right now and then she'll be back to her normal self. If you have any questions or run into any problems, just have your daddy link me, okay?"

Alone again left to stare at the canopy of the bed...yeah that was fun. That's the one thing she hated about being on bed rest...the nothingness part. Though she did raise up on her elbows to peer to the closet where that slight commotion of the blade there died down. Ha! She could scare it! That was an empowering feeling now wasn't it? Yes yes it was...though her thoughts turned in ward at the feeling of Malik further endeavouring to calm things. Relaxed she could do...happy not so much what with the 'move or die' clause. Oh well...at least son was happy that she was back and Malik...well he was Malik. He always found a way to level himself out. Hmm...bet she could fletch and lay in bed at the same time without being fussed at.
She casually ate as she always did, looking to Lateef as he had picked up on her agitation. But she pushed it down for now and concentrated on her food. "I'm not swimming in it. You can swim by yourself Lord Rainsong." Or he was going to do something rather Kieran like...this man was impossible to predict at some points. But that's what was exciting about him.
Cleaning always happened a lot faster when you did it with a few others. But his attention turned to Zahara as she called his name and he listened intently as always. But a little frown as he was told to leave his mother alone or he had to be very quiet. None of those were fun. "Okay..." In that not so pleased tone, before turning his attention to his friend, hugging him, knowing he was heading home now. " I won't be sad, mommy is back. Byes Zykariel." And thus is was off downstairs to him and over to daddy, holding his arms out in the pick me up gesture.

He chuckled, "If I throw you in you don't really get a choice, now do you? But then I jeopardize my chances of seeing bells anytime in the next five hundred years or so. Hmm, that's a rather difficult choice to make." Turning to his wife and giving her a devious little smile. "I would advise you, my dear, to watch your back, front and all sides while we are here and vacation is still afoot."
Zahara glanced down at her son and ran her fingers through his hair. "See, everything is just fine. Now, let's go home." Lifting the little boy into her arms, she rubbed his back lightly and waited for him to rest his head on her shoulder, then walked over to Sevilin. "I'm ready when you are." Translocation was always nice, it put them back in the blink of an eye and carried with it no adverse affects. "Home at last. Isn't it nice?" Setting Zykariel down she began opening cabinets and then signalled Sevilin. "We need to go shopping."

And Malikhai was duely picked up, and sat on his father's lap while he gave a small grin to the rainsongs.
"Piper makes me go on vacations too. says I work too much. But how's the food, everything up to standards?"
handing over a cookie to his son and haivn gmilk brought to him.
"I heard about you watching over your mother, and you did a fine job of making sure she was alright and didn't do anything silly. So later you and me are going to make some special cookies for you and piper."
before motioning a slave over and whispering to them in Tier'dal. said servant nodded and hurried along, getting Piper's flectching supplies and a think blanket to do her work on and bringing it to her. Malik knew when she was on bedrest she liked to fletch. gave her something to do. nad back to the table with Malikhai's study books. Yes Malik didn't forget about that.

"More or less, you're right. I know you're a risk taker dearest but not that much of one when you know certain consequences." Though a blink at that devious little look and she shook her head. "I consider myself duely warned." Turning her attention to Malik as his son came toddling up and was duely givne all the attention he wanted. "Well, someone has to make you men slow down...ambitious men rarely do. And yes Malik, everything is fine. New tastes are often appreciated."
Attention and cookie with a milk! How great was that...daddy didn't have to know that he had just had cookies. Thusly a grin to his father at praise, and look at that he was going to get more cookies! Special cookies...hm, what made a cookie special? More sugar than usual? Toppings? Oh the surprise would be great. "I was a good guard." Though a blink as his books were brought to the table and he wrinkled his nose as he finished his cookie. Oh fine, he'd study. Thus grabbing his history book.
She had decided...that she needed her stables redone. Piper made such decisions what with all this idle time. Stables redone and she wasn't going to let Malik do her books anymore. She was going to prove to him that she could do this businss thing without his help on the matter. Though her attention was changed as someone decided to invade the sanctity of her skewed thinking atmosphere...however all was quickly forgiven at the sight of fletching supplies. Oh joy, something to finally do with her time. Though funny to see how Malik made sure she didn't do it directly on the bed and make a mess of silk sheets. Oh yes, she knew Malik had engineered the distraction.
No adverse affects except for poor Sevilin who had been doing that much to much today. Into the kitchen with him, he grabbed a rag, holding it up to his face to catch blood...at least it wasn't a lot this time. Probably because they were rather small runes spaced out. Over to the table with him, he sat himself down and took about trying to look as pain free as possible. He had the sneaky suspicion that wahatever Zahara was using, a few of the ingredients he must of built an immunity to. "Make a list and we'll go tomorrow."

"Fantastic Malik. I applaud your skill." He turned to his wife and gave an eye roll. "I would challenge you on your admission that you could keep certain positions but there are small children about who do not need that sort of education so early in their lives." He returned to his food then, finishing up his plate and downing the wine, though he did want a refill on that. "So then, aside from the taunting and teasing we both enjoy, what shall we do to fill our time A'mael?"
Zykariel had headed straight upstairs and found that his toys weren't back where they were supposed to be and Rawr was missing. Thus it was back downstairs to appeal and then he saw his father. "Mommy! Daddy's bleeding!"
Zahara turned, surprised at her son's sudden outburst, then narrowed her eyes. "I knew not to let you translocate." A shake of her head and she crossed her arms. "You cannot overdo it Sevilin, not with your current injury." He couldn't afford to lose anymore blood. "Go upstairs and lie down. I have unpacking to do." She made a mental note to make her list out before she got too busy running the house and pushed open the door to his training room. There they were, all three bags. Plopping down on the floor, she began to go through them, making neat little piles of everything that was hers, Sevilin's and Zykariel's.

She giggled. "Cause trouble?"
Sevilin narrowed his eyes. Kids, did they have to speak of everything. But he opened his mouth to protest, and flashed the rag at her. "It's not even a lot of blood and it already stopped, I don't need to lay down..." Yet at the same time...he kinda had the feeling that he wasn't going to get away with anything and her walking away kinda proved that. A look to Zykariel. "Tattle tale." Shaking his head lightly before getting up. "Go help your mother..." And thus upstairs with him...mostly to brood and lay in bed.

((Time.))
Lateef took another step towards Caprice, his intention clear in his eyes. He'd already been in the lake, found it quite enjoyable and was now attempting to convince his wife that she would as well. He had to admit that this vacation had been well worth it. He'd been so stressed and focused that even he hadn't realized what a tight a** he'd become. Here in the Underdark he was actually playing with his mate like they were children, tumbling her down at random times during the day just because and asserting his manly prowess. He paid for it too, more often than not, but it didn't stop him from doing it. "Just think A'mael, wehn you're wet, I can strip you and dry you off little by little."
A week and a half had passed since they'd come back home and she'd been constantly hovering. She knew he was getting sick and tired of her always yelling at him every time he tried to do something but she couldn't seem to help herself. She wouldn't even let him handle knives anymore which was just plain silly. Overprotective was not becoming. She was sitting at the table restraining herself from walking outside and yelling at Sevilin to calm down. He and Zykariel had gone out to play with Nym, who was back up to his active thieving self, and like normal when one was playing with a three year old male, it turned roughhousish. She'd gotten up four times to look out the window and wring her hands. Finally she gave up and went outside, standing on the porch, but kept her arms crossed and bit her tongue.

"Yes, but there's the getting wet and cold part first. You have no idea how bad some water is for Zephyr silk..." Giving him a coy look, the rock that was between them being the only thing keeping him from outright rushing and grabbing her. "You can enjoy that water all by yourself, Rainsong, don't make me hurt you for what you're thinking in that head of yours."
It was really like being a child again...his life as of current was rules and restrictions and such, which annoyed him badly. He didn't like being ordered around like that, but hey...some things were just for his own good. Or so he'd come to currently accept. What had been a game of 'catch Nym because he keeps stealing things' turned into a game of just chase and catch and then that had turned into tickling and then Sevilin had turned into a jungle gym for his son, throwing humor in. Currently, the child was clinging to his back as he was standing there, time for humor. "Zykariel? Now where did that boy go?" Sharp turn at a giggle. "I mean he was just here...Hm, I just had him, where did I put him?"
Oh it was good to be back on her feet and doing all the things that usually got her into trouble or made Malik worry, like breaking horses. But today she wasn't breaking horses...no she was making her son the happiest little thing in the world right now. What was she doing? Oh teaching him to climb trees...Malik would just love that wouldn't he? He seemed to have a vendetta against trees...it was slightly amusing. "That's right, you want to climb with the inside of your feet not your toes, that way you don't need the branches." Of course she was watching him closely...no need to freak Malik out too badly.

Well a week as passed and a week was all Arthur needed to get back into his normal routine again, of course training was on top of his to-do-list so he always did it right when he woke up every day, besides he doesn't have to get dear Malik upset at him right? So the elf did his thing while still learning his moves with his new eye, sometimes his brain would play tricks on him and make him think that it wasn't working of course so he would always screw up whatever he was doing, it seemed he needed to get over some things mentally before he can get back into his top condition.
So after going through his training the elf decided to go and check on Brahnel, his horse needed a good brushing since it hasn't had one in awhile so it was off to the stables for Arthur. When he got there he quickly spotted his horse and called him over with a short whistle. When his trusty steed came close enough he petted his head and fed him a carrot with a chuckle as the horse nuzzled him a little. "Hey buddy." He whispered and hugged his horse a little before grabbing a brush so he could get to work.

"And yet we used to dance in the rain that we ourselves created didn't we Rainsong?" He chuckled again and jumped up onto the rock, rather pleased at how nimble he still could be, sweeping his wife up into his arms and walking to the edge of the pool. "Would you like me to go in with you?" he asked mischeviously.
It was so very hard not to say anything and she listened to her son giggle as he held onto his father's back, fully believing that he was 'invisible' to him at this moment in time. She knew better but why ruin the boy's fun? Except Sevilin was jumping around and playing and if he happened to scrape something or start bleeding...she shook her head and sighed. "I haven't seen him...did you lose Zykariel?" She gasped and shook her head holding in a laugh before sitting down on the front steps. "Whatever shall we tell Rawr?" A shake of her head. "And I made cookies for dessert tonight, too. Oh well...more for us." Giving Sevilin probably one of the first smiles since the horrible events had taken place.
Zykariel giggled again and locked his legs around his father's back, positive that his parents couldn't see him. Playtime was great, wasn't it? "I'm back here, Daddy!" Giggle. Because of course if Sevilin turned around, he wouldn't be able to see him. "I want cookies for dessert too! Daddy doesn't even like cookies that much." Maybe it was time to hop down?
