He perked up at hsi father's talking and nodded happily. "I remember, she was pretty. But not as pretty as mommy...her hair was sorter too." Blinking once and then turning his attention back to his father. "What do we gotta do daddy?"
Oh come on, he could do this...this shouldn't be hard. Then again, what teenage boy wasn't warded off and slightly afraid of a pack of teenage girls, they could be quite vicious and the like and that wasn't a fun thing indeed. Girls could humiliate you like no one's business. Okay, just buck up and...okay, new plan. Let's just casually walk through the space and try to catch her eye. It's not hard, you're blue for Gods' sakes.
"You two just need to stop that argument. And you'd be surprised what a little special planning and consideration can do...and if not that, the time alone is good for you two to work things out a little. Compromise if anything, stop arguing about who's right and who's wrong on the subject. And in a way yes it's wrong. I don't think Sevilin would do anything of the sort...he's too passive."
"I hoard it for good reason, you kids are expensive." Shaking his head lightly and crossing his arms over his chest and gave a shrug. "Maybe to make things a bit more challenging...ring of dirt you run ten times can be exteremly easy to conquer, yes? Probably just testing such things in reactions and you were the lucky group. And yes, she freaked. She was quite ready to go beat someone and call a foul."

"Yeah I know...but it's rough. Sevilin says I allow Zy to guilt me because of the issue with his birth and early childhood. Kids get scarred easily you know and he's learned to use it to his advantage. I just can't help but think that Sevilin is stopping the children from having fun in their own way because when he was younger all he was allowed to do was study and play servant to his masochistic sisters. It makes sense in a roundabout way and I understand where he's coming from but at the same time I don't. I don't want to force my children to have fun the way I want them to...I'd rather they enjoy something because they want to." She did shake her head for a moment and then chuckled. Special planning she had down to a science. She knew exactly what pushed Sevilin's buttons both in fighting and in romantic gestures. "In which case, yes you will need to take all the kids. I'll link the headmaster up at the school and get a message to the girls to head to your place then."
"Never understand why you two want so many kids. Lot of mouths to feed. And I'm a growing teenager and we eat a lot." Quality time with dad was just about over as far as he was concerned. "I guess. I just wish they would have let someone know. I almost lost my head when another racer came by after I dropped off the horse. Then mom would have been committing murder on whoever approved such a change." A chuckle at that, his mother, always playing the big bad bear. He glanced at his hands a moment then crossed his arms much like his father was doing, though it was all unconscious gestures on his part. "You'll be mad at me if I go out tonight." It wasn't a question but the statement was said in quite uncertain terms.
She wasn't paying the slightest lick of attention. The blue did catch her attention briefly but he looked as though he had places to go and people to see and she'd already put out the first step. It was his turn to pursue. Thus she turned back to her friends but turned slightly to allow him entrance into the conversation if he so chose. Boys were such dorks sometimes.

"good. find her, and take her to your brother. if you can do that for me, I'll give you some shiny steel coins all for yourself. you think you can do that for me?"
Oh piper would kill him for this. but he was for a good cause right? and no one could resist a toddler. so he set his son down, kneeling down as well and ruffled his hair.
"think you can find her?"

Take the girl to the brother. That would be easy enough to do. Of coruse usually the prospect of wandering off on his own in a crowded place would scare him and cause him to cling to someone's leg, but that was all forgotten in the light of a mission to be done. "Yes sir!" And promptly toddling off to do as he was told. Which was surprisingly easy to find her, amongst a pack of her friends, he toddled right up to her and tugged on her skirt. "Um...have you seen my brother?" After all, if she had it was no use to make her go.
Yup, girls were more complicated than he had orginally thought their complication level was. Well this sucked...and why was he being a wuss? Oh yeah, pack of scary teenage girls. Leaning against some fencing a moment he contemplated his next move...though it seemed he didn't have to worry about it because just then he little brother went toddling by...with no parents following...crap. Which meant he duely trotted after the thing, catching up just as he reached teh girls, or more pointedly Kaelin. "Eh...Hi Kaelin, sorry about that, he must of slipped away from my parents...so, planning on joining the festivities?" Reaching a hand out to his brother.
"I don't think it's so much as keeping them from having fun in thier own way, as it is earning to have thier fun in thier own way. Malikhai doesn't get to do anything he wants to do unless his studies are done and it's the same type of situation here. I don't care what he does for fun, long as it's nothing vile, but he had to earn his right to do so first." Adjusting her hold on Kelligrin a moment so they were both more comfortable. "Should I be expecting Zykariel in rather late?"
"I still eat more than you." Somehow though it seemed this kid was merely trying to wait out time and talking to him was the easiest way to do so. Sevilin wasn't stupid, the boy always had to go celebrate in some fashion after a win and well he wasn't gone yet. Why was the question. Got his answer easily enough later when the boy made hsi statement on how Sevilin was going to feel about such a thing. Sevilin decided it was a moment of compromise. "No I won't. Go out and have your fun. You earned your win and your right to celebrate it this time Zykariel."

She sighed and nodded, "He spends too much time training but I know how important that is so I try not to say anything about it. He does need to focus on his studies but that's not something he's ever been thrilled about." She shook her head and gave a sigh. "Ah well, we'll eventually figure something out I suppose." She took the baby once more and gave him a big hug and kiss. "Be good for Aunt Piper okay? And play nicely with your sisters." Thus handing the baby back, she gave a wave. "I'm going to go set up the house for the weekend. Sevilin will probably hang around here and I'll link him later. Take care Piper. And yes, the boys will probably be out late tonight. You know he'll drag Malikhai along." Grabbing Faete who was nuzzling his daughter, she headed off for home. She had preparations to attend to.
Zykariel had prepared himself for the lecture that was coming, promising himself he'd sit and wait it out even strive not to be a smartass. He could do it. Though he stared at his father for a moment and then broke into a grin. "Seriously? Thanks Dad!" Thus throwing an arm around the bigger drow's shoulders, he gave him a light squeeze, the most he'd allow in a public place such as this and then hopped up. "I've got a best friend to go rescue."
She glance down at the tug on her skirt and blinked. "You're the youngest D'vinn aren't you?" Kneeling down slightly, she glanced over his shoulder and saw Malikhai then smiled. "There he is." Straightening, she smiled and shook her head. "No problem. He was looking for you." She chewed on her bottom lip for a moment, glancing at her friends who were all glancing at her expectantly and then stepped to the side slightly. "Actually...I have a really embarrassing thing to ask you..."

And there he was. yep he'd give his son some silver for that one. though having a look around...good, piper was still talking to Zahara. So she didn't see him let his youngest go after the girl. Yep, he'd have a talk with that boy about women.

"Again, compromise." Taking the baby again and watching her friend go off, shaking her head lightly. "I swear, I do get a work out with all these people around now don't I?" Nuzzling the baby and then turning her look to Malik...and noting that there was someone missing from his person. "A'mael...two seconds to set my fears about my younest at ease by telling me you do indeed know where he is." Frown.
Well, that was as much of a hug he was going to get but it was better than nothing. Easily he clapped the boy on the back as he got up and started off. "Enjoy yourself, just don't do anything horribly stupid." Now then...he guessed he should just meander a bit and then he'd head home. No reason not to.
He giggled. "Mmhmm, I'm Dhairiss." Looking to his brother's outstretched hand and taking it happily with another giggle. He was going to get some steel! It would be his first earnings and that was exciting now wasn't it...not that he knew what steel was even used for other than a plaything really.
Well...he was in. He guessed or something like that. Point is he had an entrance...this was hard. Damn girls, why did they have to be all attractive and stuff? "He usually is, but thanks anyway I guess you kinda foudn him." Running a hand through his hair and giving a laugh of some sorts. Uh oh...there was one of those things he feared. What the hell could she possibly ask...or rather what couldn't she ask. "Um...sure, shoot."

"Nice to meet you Dhairiss." He was rather cute, wasn't he? "He more or less found me but I'm glad you were nearby. It would have been awful if he'd gotten lost in the crowd. I'm sure your mother would have been very upset." She glanced at the girls behind her and closed her eyes for a moment. "Okay, I will understand if you think I'm really presumptuous and you say no and never talk to me again but...I have some friends who really want to go to your friend's party but they haven't been...umm...invited. They...I mean we, were kind of hoping you might be willing to extend the invitation...?"
Zykariel watched his friend flounder for a moment and then Dhairiss saved the day. Little siblings were good for that sort of thing he supposed. Of course his was in no position to be doing those sorts of things for him yet. He heard what the girl asked and debated on walking up and extracting Malikhai from the present situation then wondered if it would be better for him to stay back. Seeing his friend's hesitation, he shook his head and walked forward, slinging an arm over his shoulder. "Of course they can come, Kaelin. Under one condition." He gave her a grin. "You have to come too."

"I know exactly where he is, he's with your oldest who is talking with his best friend to the girl we saw him with earlier and her friends and probably going to invite them all to go and celebrate the race."
A grin over to his wife.
"So...what did you and Zahara talk about?"

Oh yeah, so that was something he was used to. Him being the gateway to the racer that he managed. Racers, they got all the attention. He opened his mouth, about to say something when Zykariel came up and did the talking for him. "Well...ladies, that looks like an invitation for you and all your friends. The more the merrier, right Zykariel. What's a party with only a few people?" Picking up his little brother. "If you'll excuse me, I need to take him back." And thusly meandering off. Girls...they were complicated.
"And yet you never left here which means you let him go by himself." Shaking her head and giving him that look before her eldest came back, bearing said son. "Thank you dear, I assume you're going to be out tonight, yes?" Turning her look back to Malik. "Womanly things."
"Yeah...I guess so. I won't stay out too late, okay?"

Zykariel smoothly intercepted the happily talking group of girls and directed them towards the party, leaving Malikhai to handle Kaelin. He knew her from school and rather liked her, though he hadn't recognized her the other night at the tavern. She would be good to his friend and that's all that he really cared about. Funny, if he'd thought about it before, he would have worked to set them up. The party was at the tavern that he always hosted such things at and drinks were in good supply as was conversation and normal teenage things. Gods, he loved this life.
Zahara finally had everything ready to go. She picked up her linkstone and played with it for a moment, then glanced around the room. Yep, she was ready. Piper and Malik had all of her kids this weekend and she knew by monitoring both her men that there was relative happiness all around. Not to mention she had her ways and knew what Sevilin had done. Thus she buzzed Sevilin's linkstone. "Hey Raven, coming home anytime soon?"

"Stay out as late as your ladyfriend wants. in fact, if you do get the opportunity, feel free not to come home till tomorrow."
a slight chuckle before his wife was going to smack him...taking the younger one and handing him some steel coins.
"you did a god job."
then to his eldest.
"When you get back we'll have that talk. nothing serious I assure you. and then you can take up your studies and make up for lost time if you really feel a need to."

He had gone to find himself a quiet place to meditate and get hsi energy levels back up. After all, he was quite sick and tired of being...well, tired. It just wasn't a fun thing at all. A quiet sigh as he reached into his pocket, after all it was a disruption, though he was kind of surprised at her tone of voice. Wasn't she supposed to be irritated with him? "I'm coming." Thus a quick tuck of the stone and a symbol with his hand and there, translocated home and walking in the door.
First sending the little one off, then paying him off, and then telling the older one to stay out all hours of the night, which would be a first for this household. Apparently Malik was quite set on fostering his son's luck with women. Shaking her head and giving a sigh, she looked oto her oldest. "Don't do anything that's going to be bad for your health, okay? That's all I ask." Turning a look to Malik then. "You're bad. Come on, we have children to entertain tonight and you're still not paid in full on your debt to me."
Being relieved of his baby brother, he scratched at his hair in half nervous fashion as he parents were more or less sending him off...and for the whole night as well. This should be interesting. "Um...okay, thanks. We'll see how long before we all pass out and stuff." Thus giving them a wave and turning, heading off to stop by Kaelin again who was still waiting around and then follow the others to the predetermined party spot. Well...the night would be interesting.
He giggled again, holding onto his new earnings with all the glee of a toddler with a fresh cookie. Shiny steel, his first pieces and they were duly tucked into his pocket as he beamed from his praise.

"He needs to learn to live a little. life can't be all books and studies. Even I have my fun times and such."
a slight shake of his head.
"Let me guess. all of Zahara's brood are staying with us for the evening while she and Sevilin have an enjoyable time. why am I not surprised?"
A slight chuckled and getting up on Ramoth, handing over his son to his wife before doing so, after all he wasn't as well versed in the saddling with a toddler on your hip thing.

"I never said he didn't. I just don't want him stumbling into the house drunk or anything like that. Underdark is a harsh place now isn't it? And yes, that would be the general plan. But you see dear, in return she's taking both of ours for the same amount of time and we get to have all ove that to ourselves. Mothers learn to use each other wisely you see." Taking Dhairaiss then handing him back to Malik once he was saddled before calling Serino to her. "Don't worry, you'll end up having fun with them just like you always do. You really do make a fantastic father, contrary to popular belief." Giving a laugh and shaking her head. "Let's go home."
