Ashlyn bowed her feathered head and promptly left the manor. Although not wihtout a curios look at Piper's cinnamin stick. Find the child..she'd try.

Piper had merely stood there mumbling to herself, and then she watched Ashlyn as she went about various movements to explain the answers to Malik's questions, just soaking up info herself right now and letting things sink in. A frown. "Wicked...I don't think I can pictu- where did you get that?!" Oh how dare he be holding out on her like that. "Need one Malik? NEED one? I would KILL for one at this point!" And a snatch at the cinnamon stick which he had been hiding from her...he would get his just desserts for holding out later, Piper would make sure of that. "Evil elf..." Okay...so she was addicted to the little spice sticks to an extent. They always made her feel comfortable and gave her something to focus on at times as well.

He laughed lightly, and shook his head.
"Well I wouldn't want you to go through them like you tend to do. so I thought I'd keep my own spares as not to have you going insane with craving..or perhaps use them for bribes."
A grin, and he let Ashlyn do her duties, as he moved of through the rest of the building, taking in the outfits, the way things were arranged, and heading to teh room he was quite certain was his, until he opened it and found a very...piperish look to it. more of a dark nature look.
"You have got to be kidding me."

Chewing on her cinnamon stick and quite compliant now, she just followed in his steps. "Oh...so you're saying you've been holding out on me for my own good is it? Note to self, search your pockets while you sleep...and then everywhere else I can think you've been hiding them." Looking over his shoulder however at the room she laughed then slipped under his arm and into the room. "Well well...kinda looks like I'm the one in charge of this place." A very smug look to him...okay so she was enjoying this to an extent. Who thought another version of her would be so different really. "Might want to check your neck for a collar there Malik." A wink at him with another laugh. So very much enjoying this.

He smirked at her, but did absently rub his neck. no collar. But this was a turn around, wasn't it.
"Well seems things are going to change around here. I'm not about to let you run things this time around."
A chuckle and a shake of his head at her self note.
"You think I'd make it that easy on you, Piper Silverfeather?"

"Oh, you aren't are you? And why not? Think I may be too nice or something compared to you? Or are you just going through the 'sissy little Fier'dal making me look bad' complex?" Okay, now she was on a power trip. Pausing a moment in chewing on the cinnamon stick she took it from her mouth and looked to him at his proposed challenge. "Oh no, not in the least, Malik D'vinn. I expect my search to be quite the task indeed. Besides....I have allies to enlist to help me in my cause. I know two things that would love to get under your skin so to speak."

A grin, and his gauntlet got taken off, and he handed it over to her.
"No. I don't think you can do what I can. maybe the other you could. but the Piper I know wouldn't be able to use this, and mean it. You wouldn't be able to strangle a slave for disobediance, or for being uppity...or anything."
A small smirk.
"And if you're talkign about Serino and teh Nightmare...don't think they'll provide too much help. I do know how to hide things, you know."

Of course she snatched that too...simply because she could. Didn't particularly like it, never did...so when she got it away from him she always made it into a game of seeing how long he would go without it. "So you're right. I couldn't...wanna know why?" A finger raised and tapped to her own. "Call it sympathy if you will, and I'm not accusing you of anything mind you dear. I'm just saying that the perspective changes when you're with the crowd who lives with the collars." A shrug in her usual style. "And I don't need the horses then...I have perfectly full proof ways of getting what I want from you when I really put some effort into it." Another smirk that melted into a smile. "Just think how everyone is going to have to adjust to us being different. You in control and me rather passive in my ways unless crossed." Then a look around the room. "And I like the room like this...of course we don't have to share, you can always go find your own and make it look as thus." Another giggle tacked onto that as she slipped on his gauntlet out of sheer not wanting to hold it anymore.

"I'm sure they'll adjust quickly. Shouldn't take them long to figure out who is in charge. and you have fool proof ways, eh? Or maybe those are a fool proof way for me to get you to do things."
A chuckle and then another look around.
"Well I can tolerate this. you put up with my decor for long enough, not to mention Neriak.I'm sure I can handle this for awhile."
Another small grin, digging in a pocket, and producing another cinnamon stick.
"Now I wonder what you would do for this one."

"Ha. Who's in charge? I see how it is." A roll of her eyes to emphasis the sarcasm."Neriak." She stuck her tongue out at the mention of that forsake place. Sure, the random looting was fun...but beyond that she didn't find much appeal to it. And in fact she was slightly giddy that she had just gotten her way and didn't have to fight with him about it. Felt good to win sometime. But then with a raised eyebrow she took to chewing on the still half of stick of cinnamon in her possession as her hands settled on her hips and she turned to look at him again. "Is that your game now?"

"just a question, no game. a curiousity to wonder what a cinnamon addict will do for a cinnamon stick when they are in short supply. A rather interesting scenario, wouldn't you think?"
A chuckle and he moved to sit on the bed, idly turnign his gaze over to her and chuckling lightly.
"you have the guantlet, but it seems I might still hold all the cards. after all I have no collar you can squeeze, and I got something you crave on top of it."

"Maybe said addict would turn to another provider for said delight. But...is that a threat to cut me off completely from cinnamon? That's so very cruel of you." She hooked a finger under her collar, tugging at it as she usually did before walking over to stand in front of him to wiggle gloved fingers in front of him before flicking his nose. "I don't need the gauntlet to control you, and I have cards up my sleeves Malik love. And I can always develop an addiction to something else I'm sure. After all, I've replaced trees with anything six feet off the ground, and surface light with an enchanting phosphorus glow. You're so sure you have a good hand."

"Fair enough. But I wouldn't cut you off from cinnamon. And judging by the way the griffin looked at you, I'd say that you won't find any other providers of that treat down here. and just how do you think you can control me, dearest Piper? What ace do you have up your sleeve?"
A grin and he unbuckled the belt that held Malvolence, and set to blade aside.
"And we need to find out whom our enemy is, why, and how to make sure they don't cuaes us serious trouble."

"See, I knew you weren't that cruel. But I wouldn't judge anything around here about me from anyone else. Because the me here before me, well...seemed rather disliked." Then a grin and glint of gold from her eyes. "Malik, do you honestly have to ask that question?" Of course at him discarding Malvolence and the belt, she took it up off the bed, clipping it on...just taking all his things today. Reaching up she untied the bandana that had her ears tied back and shook out her hair as well. "How's this for the tyrant look to me? Hm? Gauntlet, sword, no hint self consciousness. Now if only I was taller." But back to business as she paced a little in front of him, a finger twirling around a few strands of bright red in her hair. "And more so who the third wheel is, and how they got to be associated to us. Of course you know...we're going to have to explain our change in behavior if you want to play this part rather than saying 'oh, we plane crossed and stepped into our own shoes, we're not really your Malik and Piper'."

"Before we do that, we need to find out how different our personalities differed. apparently you were the more vicious one. but we need to know hwo much more. for all we know I still acted like I do now you were just more cruel than I was. And you know better than to play with that blade, Piper dear."
His eyes watched the blade, that hand twitching slightly. the addictivness of the blade was far more pulling on him, having used it most of his life.
"You do look the part though. I'll give you that, Piper. and yes, we need to find out who this third party is. and get the Conduit back. nad if there's a conduit..I wonder if there's a beast."
