"I'll ask daddy if he's coming back. Daddy usually does business for someone more than once." Giving a nod at that and tucking the information away for later. A look back to the animals. "Is Nym tired?"
She was wearing...pants. Pants...Zahara, and pants...pants and Zahara...hm...let's take a moment to process this shall we? It wasn't unpleasing...it was rather intriguing really...after all, it was a nice change of pace for her and well...modified nicely to fit her personality seeing as she didn't like to be covered up. She was covered up, yet not at the same time. Thing didn't leave anything to the imagination either. "That's a change...rather pleasant one. Looks good on you...adds more to that enigmatic way about you." Giving her what smile he could give. "Sets off your eyes wonderfully."
"I could always just ride with you. If he doesn't want someone on his back I'm not going to force him, he'd been through it all too." Ever considerate of her little partner in crime and wanderings wasn't she? But that still was up to be determined. "Yes, I do see that everyone wins. Well then dear, get your riding boots on and let's go." Thusly opening the door, and snatching the nearest serf, giving instructions out to be given to Keely. A look back at Malik. "You love to mess with Rainsongs, don't you? It's almost cute."

"Messing with protocol ridden Lateef and his nice but slightly paraniod wife is of course amusing to me. and we can ride together if that's the case."
So into riding attire. red shirt, black vest, black pants, black riding boots, and a pair of black riding gloves. didn't take very long at all. then down to the kitchen, picking up a bag of travel food premade and slinging it over hsi shoulder before heading over to the stables, and opening Ramoth's space and patting her on the nose, which got a snort and a snap at his fingers.
"yes I know. I've been busy though. but we're going riding today, so that should make up for lost time right?"
before Ramoth promptly rear and kicked malik in the chest and sent him across the room with a snort.
"Okay...I suppose not. but you're going for a ride, and that's that."
Before headbutted by a loose mare that was not happy.
"stubborn nag!"
Before round one in the trying to get the saddle on the upset Nightmare game.

Zykariel nodded and walked back over to the bed, sitting down and scooping up the ferret. "He just got done being all sick and stuff so he might be." A pet to the ferret's ears, "Are you tired Nym?" Then a glance up at his friend, "Why?"
Fiddling with the belt as she waited for him to decide, she glance down at herself one last time then up at him. She could see the appreciation in his eyes and that's all she really needed. "It is a change...I like what he did though. If that tailor wasn't so needed here, I would steal him and have him make all my clothes all the time. He kind of does that anyway though so I guess it's okay." She tossed him the newly fixed cloak. "He fixed Kariel's cloak too. Two things for the price of one...all free. Your absolute favorite price." Walking over, she looped an arm around his waist and headed for the halls. "How was your meeting? Did you play nicely?"

She rolled her eyes at him, waving him off as he got into his proclaimed riding attire and she got herself all attired up, throwing on gloves and such and then heading down to the stables as well. And a highly amused look to Malik as he and Ramoth were being less than friendly to each other. "You two are impossible." Promptly walking over to the nightmare, and patting at her nose. "Are you showing Malik who's boss? He deserves a good kick or two doesn't he?" Chuckling then and giving a look to Malik want some help?"
Scooping up his own pet, he cuddled him even as he chewed at his fingers. "Because if Nym is tired then we gotta find a new game." Promptly looking at Keely as she strolled in. Hm, they now had a female that could be multiple things for them. Fun.
"You're around often enough to get all the clothes you need from him. I wouldn't worry about that...and that's one of those perks of working for Malik and such. Enjoy it." Grabbing the cloak that was tossed at him he throw it over his shoulder to carry around even as she duely started pulling him along the halls. "Played out very nicely. Me and Malik have an understanding and you don't have to worry about being manhandled anymore. Though he was concerned about Zykariel too, mentioned some things about Khaiver...how he got close to him and such. Lured him with talk of supposed family."

He heard what passed for a tired chitter and nodded. "Yeah I think so. He's still not bounced back all the way from being icky looking." Plopping the ferret on top of his head, he waved to Keely. "Wanna be our princess or our wench?"
"I will. He does love designing things, says I have a good body for it. I suppose I should feel complimented." She listened and nodded, quite pleased that she didn't have to worry about being shoved or smacked around anymore. Her chest was still aching from where his boot had shoved onto her and when she'd touched the tender skin while changing, she'd known it was going to bruise. If she slept with Sevilin in the near future, she was going to have to divert his hands away from the upper half, which meant he'd concentrate on the lower... Shaking her head to keep her thoughts focused she glanced up at him, then stopped and leaned up on tippy toes to press a kiss to his lips. "Thanks." That gave her time to figure out how to handle the Khaiver and Kariel situation. "Supposed family, hmm? I can see where he would latch onto that...but all we have to do is tell him that Khaiver is responsible for your face and he'll hate him as much as we do." Of course Sevilin didn't know that there was truth to all those statements adn she knew better than breaking the news of his paternity to him. That would just devastate him beyond all imaginings.

Ramoth snorted again at Malik and let Piper rub her nose, while Malik got back on his feet.
"sure, hold her while I give her an enema."
that got another snort and a pawing enough to bring up flame.
"Hey, you started it. you got all crabby I just said we were going for a ride."
another snort, and a not so pleasent sounding nicker.
"that was not my fault. and the other times I had buisness to tend to."
glare.
"Hey, you knew he wasn't going to let her go alone and I wasn't about to send her with one of your wilder herd."
Snort, paw.
"So he's being pissy with you. not my fault I don't control his emotional states. At least he's back safe and sound."
Paw and snap of her jaw.
"How was I supposed to stop her? she made a deal with that human oracle. I didn't make her go..."
Paw, rear of her head.
"good idea. but not allowed. She'd get upset."
Snort, shake of her head.
"Okay, lets make a deal here. you be nice, we go for our ride and be friendly, and when we get back, I'll have you given something nice and yummy, and, I'll let you play with Malikhai. do we have an agreement?"
Snort.
"Good."
So Malik went about getting her saddled, adn looked over at Piper.
"Want to ride double or ask Serino?"

"You do have a good figure for it....at least for the creations of a man whom is looking for someone to bring his clothing to a new level. So yes, feel complimented." Nodding his head before casually walking along with her, still surprised by the little bits of affections and how open she really was becoming to him. It was nice not having to fight with her all the time about everything because there may be some negative alterior motive. "I suppose that would be the quickest way to get him off the ideas of Khaiver as being something remotely close to anything family." Snicker at that one. "You hurt anywhere?" Seeing as well...when Malik threw you around...he really did.
She blinked, that whole conversation transpiring in almost funny manner. Piper still didn't know how to understand the language shadow of nightmares...there were other horses around to translate or they were mixed breeds enough to keep wind enough there. "Oh so what, you two are fighting because of me? That's not fair...now I feel like the other woman." Rolling her eyes and walking off from the mare, turning her attention to Serino...whom was lying down and just gave her that look that said ride me and I will be mean. Thusly walking back over to Malik and Ramoth. "Fine I take blame for Serino and his less than friendly emotional state. He didn't enjoy three people more often than not in a state of disgusting filth on his back....he said he'd come but no one's riding him." A look to Ramoth. "Does that suffice for you?" Why was she always competing with things associated with Malik? Sword...horse....ugh...

"Actually, she's more pissed that I'm been busy and not paying her attention, and then Serino's being pissy with her so she can't get her 'attention' like she wants from him. and she blames me for letting you go off and take Serino with you, So it's my fault for being the boss of the house and not keeping the house in a manner that she can get her 'affections' and her pampering in timely manner."
Another glare from teh horse at him.
"Hey, would you prefer I use your terminology?"
Hey she actually backed up and shook her head at that.
"I thought not. then she'd probably wash your mouth out with soap."
a slight chuckle at Piper.
"you're not in a competition and you know it."
A kiss for her and they both got up on Ramoth, who walked by Serino, swatting his nose with her tail some, before taking off at a nice steady trot in whatever direction she felt like at the moment, and fully expecting Serino to follow.

That made her blush...which was odd for her but she just let her cheeks cool and resumed her natural position at his side. "Yeah..." She'd just have to take Zykariel aside and tell him the truth. Khaiver was family, his grandfather in fact but that didn't make him like Kieran. If Khaiver had used those particular words she knew that was where her son's mind was heading...that child had gotten rather attached to Kieran in a non family but sort of close friend of the family kind of way. Hell, who was she kidding, she'd more or less adopted Kieran as a pseudo-father figure herself, which made him a pseudo-grandfather to Kariel. Perhaps that would suffice? "Not anything horribly drastic. It was mostly just emotional and blustering..." Liar...but she had no desire to irritate Sevilin with a play-by-play of what Malik had done.

He rolled his yes. "Mmhm, and Malik also spends every third day of his life, spreading cheer and steel to the less than fortunate." Besides Malik himself admitted more than just emotional and blustering actions. But if she wanted to play it that way then she could play it that way. Let her cope as she needed to. "Shall we go check on the child then or let him continue to have his fun?"
"Forgive me for trusting him to take care of me, if it interferes in her life too much." Vindictive horse. A scoff. "Nice to see she thinks me below her..." A look to said horse. "You know, you should be greatful...otherwise you wouldn't have Serino, a stable, or a herd. I work my butt off for you girl." Before crossing her arms lightly till Malik worked things out with the creature and then went about reassuring herself. He was in her head again, which wasn't such a bad thing sometimes. "I still wonder sometimes." But up on the horse with Malik to indluge in a little down time with just the two of them...and yes an amused look back to Serino who indeed got himself up and meandered after them.

"In an alternate plane, he just might." But she let that go and was rather pleased that he didn't push her to reveal anymore. He probably had a good idea where she'd been hurt anyway seeing as he knew Malik and the Tier'Dal's likely actions when it came to her. She continued on down the hall and shook her head, "I'd rather get this whole Khaiver infatuation cleared up now rather than letting him go on thinking he's got family on Andal. The only Andallian elves I even want him associating with are Malikhai's grandparents, the Rainsongs and Lharika."

A slight chuckle at the horse's snort and shake of her head.
"She don't think that. she's just being a spoil sport becuase she's aggravated. Not used to being told no, are you?"
Patting her neck and almost getting his fingers snapped at. but they traveled at a good pace, until they found a nice outcropping place, sheltered but pleasant for Underdark standards, and Malik got off, helping Piper down.
"So, what would you like to do out in the open here Piper dear?"

"I beg to differ." But he gave a sigh and then steps in redirection up to the nursery...where the children had abandoned their crest brigade antics and now were apparently pirates, Keely already duely child knotted to a chair. "You two look like you're havung fun. Can Zykariel spare two moments of maurading time?" That was more rhetorical than anything.
"When I'm aggrivated I don't get to act like that." Giving a snicker to that before merely a sigh, watching things around herself as they passed by...would be nice to not feel jittery while watching it all though...Piper really hated that little side effect. And thus more of that paranoid scouting for a moment as Malik decided this was a good place to stop. "Honestly? Take cover." Giving an almost irrtated laugh at herself as she pulled her hair over her shoulder, playing with the red and silvery white strands somewhat. "So, what's the best way to cure a case of underdark paranoia?" Watching Serino as he wandered up and went about making nice and suck up for his behavior as of late.

Zykariel glanced up and opened his mouth to protest but blinked on account of two things. First of all, his mother was in pants and that was odd for him. Letting that sink in, the look on his parent's face bespoke the seriousness of whatever it was they needed to talk to him about. Those two factors together added up to no protesting. He handed Malikhai his sword and took off his hat, Nym sitting on the inside and walked over. "What's going on?"
Zahara glanced at Malikhai for a moment, then reached out her hand. "Come on little one, let's take a walk and talk. There's some things we need to discuss with you. Malikhai, stay here and play with Keely, Zykariel will be back in no time." Taking the child's hand and waiting for him to take Sevilin's wiht his other, she led the way out of the nursery and into the hall. Now how to broach the subject with him. "Kariel do you remember Khaiver?"
"The drow who Mr. Malik had business with? Yup. I stayed away from him just like I promised!"

Oh and he was getting a long overdue and rather loud chastizing and chewing for it. How dare he turn her down, and not do exactly like she wanted. every male in thier herd wanted her and she picks him and he refuses!? How dare he get pissy with her of all mares. she was the boss, and she wasn't taking lip from anyone especially Serino.
Malik got a bit of a devilish look.
"commonly, you do something that is highly exposing but doesn't get you injured. A sort of conficence builder. for example, a soldier afird of crossing water woudl get thrown into the water naked. so if he does get assaulted, it'll prolly kill him. it's usually secretly arranged that he won't, so he feels empowered that he did it without any defenses."
tracing his fingers up her arm lightly.
"I can think of an exposing activity that might get your confidence back up about being out in the underdark."
