The party was in full swing when Malikhai and Kaelin showed up and Zykariel lifted his hand in a wave and walked over with his arms around two other ladies. "Wonderful to see you both. Come in and get yourselves a drink. The party is just getting started and we are going to be at this for quite a while." Giving a nod to his friend before smiling at the girl with him. "Kaelin, you are looking lovely as always. Enjoy you two."
She chuckled softly and shook her head. "Welcome to the party, I suppose." Walking over, she picked up two drinks and handed one to Malikhai. "I remember what you were drinking the other night. I'm sorry if I confused you...."
Oh good he was coming. She plopped down on the bed and listened for a moment. Hearing the door open, she picked up her cloak and slipped it on, then stepped downstairs. "Glad you could make it, Raven." Walking over to him, she lifted her arms around his neck and kissed him gently. "Malik and Piper already agreed to take the children for us this weekend which is why we are here, now. The girls already know to go to Twilight and since you so graciously allowed Zykariel to go out, I thought you deserved a little reward." Giving him a smile, she took his hand and pulled him into the house, shutting the door behind him and casually dropping her cloak, revealing her light blue goddess outfit. "You get three options, consider them almost like doors, but you don't get to know what's behind them until after you choose."

Just like Zykariel, already with two girls that he didn't need. One was plenty enough in his opinon, why piss off two and at the same time for that matter? Shaking his head his attention turned to Kaelin, taking the drink she handed over with a nod. "Thanks, and well...I wasn't on my game the other night. It's okay, really. No need for you to apologize." Lie, but he wasn't going to admit that he was kinda hopeless when it came to women at this stage in his life.
Hm, it was the goddess outfit, wasn't that just for special occassions though? Was this a special occassion? Apparently so...or at least in his head he thought so. "Well, I though that he deserved to get out this time, after all that wasn't your normal race. He seemed happy enough that I wasn't going to lecture him on it." Letting her pull him as she wished, he was still quite amazed over the fact that she was well with all of this currently. "Three options, okay...so I guess that means pick right now, right? Well...let's go with three." After all in his mind, one was something easy or the likes, two was mild, and three was perhaps a challenge of some sort like level.

"That's alright. I wasn't much in the mood to be around the other night either. Just went because my friend dragged me." She leaned against one wall and sighed. "It's not a bad party over all..." Well, this was going awkward wasn't it? She sipped her drink slowly, glancing around and wondering what in the hell they had to talk about. Glancing at him for a moment, she flushed. "I'm...well, I'm not really much of a partier," she confessed softly. "I don't really...do this often." Did that make her sound pathetic? Why yes, it probably did.
She nodded slowly and tilted her head waiting for him to choose. "Three hmm?" A nod and she took his fingers and gently kissed them. "That means you need this." She pulled out a green ribbon and motioned for him to bend down. "No peeking, Sevilin." She'd never actually blindfolded him before. "Just trust me." Tying it in the back of his head, she took his hands and started to step. She led him the long way around the downstairs, bypassing a few other rooms and headed into his training room. She'd turned his very private domain that the children were never allowed in into a lair of sorts. There was a pile of pillows and silks in the corner that would service as a bed quite nicely and another blanket spread out with a feast upon it. All finger food but not of the childlike variety. Pulling him over to the blanket, she pushed on his shoulders. "Sit down and just relax." Thus she began finger feeding him pieces of steak, strawberries and cream, chocolate mousse on graham crackers, pieces of cooked fish, and various other fruits, all his favorites, cooked just the way he liked them. "Did you enjoy the race?"

"Oh good...I was afraid you were one of those jump on the table and dance around girls. Honestly, I'm not much of one either. I'm just invited because I'm the manager." Thus gesturing over to a table that wasn't in the midst of the crowd. "How about we grab a seat over there then where we're not so in the midst of it all?" Waiting for her approval before heading over. "You know Zykariel from school?"
He watched her in curious fashion, one eyebrow lifting at the ribbon and well...being blindfolded. he had always had a problem with being blindfolded...couldn't see what was happening around him and it unsettled him. But for the moment he nodded to her and tried to push all of that down into a place where it wouldn't bother him. Trying was an important thing after all. And he merely had to trust her as she led him around, purposefully trying to confuse him. And we were sitting down now and getting to enjoy rather bit-sized dinner, blindfolded, which was nice actually. "It was okay, not bad, not my favorite thing. Nice to see how he at least handles things out on the track." Seemingly keeping eye contact with her, even if his eyes were covered.

"Only because your there to reel in my more...inappropriate to fatherhood ideas and thought processes."
A slight chuckle, turning Ramoth around and heading home. it wouldn't take long..and they were back, setting his son down while he took off Ramoth's saddle and such, feeding her some raw meat.
"It is nice to see your offspring do well, wasn't it girl? the proud matriarch of a herd that has become fine racehorses."
A snort from the older nightmare and nicker. before he picked Dhairiss back up and took him inside. wonder if those girls were here yet.

She was so glad he didn't laugh at her or point out that everytime he saw her she was at a party. Nodding, she moved to the table with him and sat down. "Yes, we take potions together and my best friend would desperately like to date him so I'm supposed to keep up on everything that is new in Zykariel's life. He's nice enough, I suppose. We don't really hang out together or anything like that. Have you known him long?"
She could feel his anxiety spike and merely laid a hand over his to calm him down. Yes, this was hard for him, but if he could get through it, the reward would be well worth it. Part of it was the food he was eating and part of it was conquering the various issues that his sisters had given him through their treatments of him. She could beat them all for that too. "He's pretty good but that comes from his dedication and how hard he trains. That's the single most important thing to him and it's not just because of winning. It's really because he loves to race." She continued to feed him, taking a few bites herself between his own and then sighed. "I suppose here is where I should admit that you were right. It's obvious to me that things can change randomly and it's important that he know as much as he possibly can instead of focusing all his time and energy on just the one thing. But that's not what this whole thing is about. This is about you and me and everything that we've been missing out on." She slipped into his lap easily enough and continued feeding him but didn't unblindfold him. "What can I do for you Sevilin?"

"Well then, that makes me the singularly most imortant thing in your life. I think I like that in some way. Careful you'll spoil me to a point where I'll be intolerable and then what are you going to do hm?" Giving him a flicker of gold from her eyes just because and sending off Serino, taking Kelligrin inside and handing him off to Keely, as well as directing thier youngest off with her too. "They need naps, because I am not going to be putting up with fussy beyonf all belief little elves. Especially when I'm adding those that aren't mine to the mix." Thusly turning her attention to her husband. "You do have your various fluffy moments, though it is nice to know that there's still a little trouble left in you. Makes my life exciting."
Okay he could handle this, casual conversation in a quiet manner. Either he hadn't learned to party yet or he was just too stoic like his father in this particular sense. Whatever, he didn't really mind. Point was he hadn't been mauled in the bad way by this girl yet. "Potions huh? I'm still hearing about what all the classes are, " after all he was more or less home schooled, "and he's not all that bad, you just have to know how to get to him. I'm sure he'd like your friend...though if she wants steady dating, I'm not quite sure. He's quite the free spirit so to speak." Taking a drink from his mug a moment. "I've known him since we were babies, we grew up together. He's almost like my brother really."
Well well, it was nice to see that she was starting to see what he meant when he babbled on and on about Zykariel when it came to his racing and to his studies. It was just a fine balance that was going to have to be kept and maintained, as well as watched carefully. But his mind came to refocus on her as she had slipped into his lap, asking him questions that he wasn't sure he really had the answers to. After all, this wasn't his realm in this particular sense. Well...he didn't know that answer...they just didn't come to his head. He knew what she was talking about to, and it wans't fun when he frustrated her with his inability to answer, so then let's take another route. "What do you have in mind to offer?"

"There's quite a few but they really aren't all that exciting. Potions is one that he's pretty good at. I'm just not. I've considered asking for his help a few times but I didn't want him to think I was trying to date him or anything and my best friend would have killed me." A shake of her head and she fiddled with her drink for a moment. "I wish I had known someone that long. You two seem so different though. I'm really amazed you are as close as you are though I suppose knowing him that long helped immensely." Though she frowned, "Where do you go to school?"
"Uncle Malik! Aunt Piper! We're home!!!" sang two voices as they came bursting through the door of Twilight. "Mama called the school and said that we get to have a sleepover! Is that true Uncle MAlik? You love us so much you don't want us to go home until tomorrow?" Lyssie was quite excited to say the least. Her sister was a little more reserved but had a goofy smile on her face and a flower tucked into her braid. "No, silly. Mama and Daddy just want time to theirselves which is why we're staying here."
She knew he was going to have trouble answering but sometimes it was nice to see if anything had ever popped into his head. He still was having trouble grasping exactly what she wanted and what he wanted as well. It was hard, truly, to deal with all of his issues but it was happening. She chuckled softly and nibbled at his ear for a moment. "A little bit of that." Pressing a kiss to his lips. "A bit of that." And then stroking a line straight down his body. "And a whole lot of that. Interested?"

Malik shook his head lightly.
"there they are, as if on cue."
before looking over both girls with a slight riase of the eyebrow at the older one.
"well, your here because yes, your parents want some alone time, and yes, I wouldn't mind the extra company while the boys are celebrating thier race and I'm sure piper wouldn't either."

"Opposites attract as I've heard. You think me and Zykariel are crazy? You should take a long look at my parents." Shrugging lightly and then taking another drink before oh boy it was that question that he didn't like answering too much. "I do my studies at home with my parents, one my own, or with my teachers that they have at the fortress." Shrugging lightly again...he wasn't spoiled, his parents just had the means to give him that sort of one on one time with either them or his teachers. Hopefully this wouldn't get awkward.
"Speak of the little she devils." Watching them both wander in, one all bubbly and full of questions and the other all gooy. Oh Piper knew that look and it made her stifle a laugh. It was fun to get that look. "Yes we just love you that much. We have to have girls to spoil too." And well...other children of her own was a thought better left tucked away in the back of her head. And Malik was quite good at making boys it seemed. But her attention turned to the elder daughter. "And you, miss, have a flower today. I take then that you had a good day, yes?"
Well this was highly interesting now wasn't it? After all, without his sight he wasn't able to see what was going on or going to happen, it was like a pleasant little surprise when things did happen. Okay, so maybe this blindfold things wasn't so bad and didn't need to be put into the same context as it always had been. Not that he thought too much after she was at his ears because that always made him stupid. A chuckle on his part, giving her a smile and looking her general direction. "Highly interested and I'm assuming the blindfold is included in this whole thing...I think I would indeed be highly interested in that." Had to give a little sometimes.

She laughed softly, "I've seen your parents around. They are not the couple I would have picked out. Blue and pale...interesting combination. Your brother has bits of blue in him too but his are lighter. I suppose that's the genetics combining?" Taking another drink, she glanced over as her name was called and shook her head then turned back. "I think my mother would kill me if I was around all the time. We constantly get on each other's nerves, sadly. But I wouldn't mind spending all that time with my dad. You must be pretty lucky to have all those options open to you." Then again he was D'vinn...she had to really watch what she said, didn't she? Nobody liked someone fawning over them....like her best friend was doing with Zykariel.
"There was a race today? We missed it?! How come we had to go to school when Kariel got to race? Unfair!" Then a yank on her sister's arm. "Did you know there was a race? You were at school, too right?" Faatallon shook her sister's hand off and shook her head. "Everyone knew there was a race today but I had to go to school too." She gave a grin to Piper and touched her flower, happily. "I did indeed. No more rocks for me, it's flowers and pretty things all the way." Preening happily, she pulled it down and showed it to her aunt. "He went all the way to Deepwater and traded for it just for me."
She chuckled softly and gave him a bit more to eat, then slipped out of his lap and easily removed his boots, setting them off to the side. Standing, she reached down and grasped his hand then tugged him to his feet and pulled him to the center of the room. She stepped back quietly herself, looking over him and just watching him. His own reactions would tell her if she was moving into territory that was not going to work out too well. After a few moments, she moved one boot, letting the heel scrape lightly against the stone of the floor to let him know she was indeed still there. She took a step towards him and methodically began removing his clothing, keeping her touch light, almost like a mother would. Slipping off his tunic and chainmail, she leaned down and untied his pants letting them fall before she kneeled. "Step." Her fingers trailed lightly up his legs, stopping at his upper thighs and then she stepped back once again. Giving him a few moments to adjust to his nakedness, she stepped forward one more time and began unbraiding his hair very slowly.

"yes there was a race, yes, you missed it, and Zykariel only got to attend it because your father didn't catch him beforehand."
A slight grin at the older daughter.
"all the way to Deepwater, eh? the last bastion of human settlement in the Underfoot. Sounds serious. I'm sure your parents will love to meet him."
then to the youngest one.
"So what would you care to do this evening while the others are away?"

"Well, actually she's a moon elf which means she has blue in her skin. Light blue like my brother, you just can't see hers anymore. Dhairiss looks more like my grandfather actually, but the blue is a little more pronounced because of my father yes." And he was rambling...that was not good at all. Rambling drove others off...and thusly he cleared his throat and took a drink once more to perhaps keep from rambling. "The place is big enough that we're not on top of each other all day, so we really don't annoy each other you know. Sometimes though I wish I went to regular school. You know, get in on all that's going on and stuff." And not be kind of socially awkward. "Everyone wants to swim in everyone else's pond I suppose."
"I wouldn't call it unfair. You two got the benifit of an education today, while your brother is now going to have to do twice as much work to catch up and keep up with the rest of his class. See, you win." And that resolved, she turned her attention to Faatallon again. "Flowers and pretty things hm, careful...those only last for so long and can only come but in so many styles." Shaking her head lightly and then crossing her arms over her chest. "And I'm sure she's love it if they didn't meet him. All girls fear thier men meeting thier fathers."
Well now...he had to really pay attention now didn't he? Had to really pay attention to the sounds and such in the room, to keep track of where she was. She was helping that out some though wasn't she? Making a noise or two to let him know where hse was. Of course at her first unexpected touch, he jumped a little but settled easily enough and let her continue with a nod to a look she had probably given him. Pushed down his own anxiety, he let her undress him, doing the little things he was told before he noted she was undoing his hair. Her and taking that thing out. But where was the fun in standing there? Thusly he reached out to her, one hand catching at her waist and drawing her a bit closer, letting his other hand find her as well and take to trying to get her out of her own clothes, a little fumbly like though. Hm...his coordination was off when he couldn't see...that was weird.

"Light blue." She was quiet for a moment and then she took another drink. "I think I prefer the dark." She thought his uncertainty was rather cute. She could tell that he wasn't really used to being around a lot of people at once, not in a party type setting. It probably had something to do with being a D'vinn and homeschooling only added to it. "Have you ever thought about asking to go to regular school? You'd fit right in and probably have a good time. Zykariel would show you what you needed to know and I...well I could help you too."
"He's gonna have to do lots of extra work 'cause he hasn't done any of his work for the whole week. Daddy got mad at him but he did it in his own way." A nod and then she danced over to Malik and took his hand. "I think you should tell me a story, Uncle Malik. And then we should have cake for dinner and brownies for dessert!" Faatallon nodded, "Yes but they're very nice to have. He's not mine though. I don't want a man. They're too much work."
She let him draw her in, tracing her fingers over his face gently as he fumbled with her clothes. She had his braid undone and his hair down in a matter of moments and then she lifted his hands to the clasp at her neck, allowing him to take his time undoing it until it fell to the floor. She walked over to the bed in the corner and picked up a brush, then spread her cape and pushed on his shoulders again. She wasn't going to make him sit on the cold stone. Not naked. Standing behind him, she gently began to brush his hair, letting her skirt and the bare skin brush against his randomly. All about touch, sound, and sensation, even using his own hair to brush against his skin.

"Blends in better I guess. All depends on your tastes though really." Grinning at her some before hiding it behind his mug. Oh he hated feeling awkward, it just wasn't fun at all now was it? Nope. But then he gave a shrug. "I've thought about it, but you know...I don't how long I'd stay anyway so I guess I've always thought it would just be distracting to everyone involved. I think I like the personal attention too." But he gave her a grin once more. "Well, if I ever do feel the urge to try it out, it's nice to know that you're willing to help me out. I don't have many friends after all."
Piper gave a laugh. "That they are, child. Though at the same time, the work you put into them, you usually get back and in a greater sum than what you initially invested into them. Payoffs are a thing of life, even when it comes to men. And don't swear them off so fast, I remember when I said I didn't want a man. Now I'm stuck with one."
Probably the first time he ever needed help getting clothes off. It was kind of awkward in a sense yat at the same time kind of moreso at being helped at all. Like learning all over again. But he tried to push that thought aside and merely focused on the present time and the like. He was with his wife and there was nothing to worry about, and he merely complied with her again, sitting down and letting her take to his hair, though he also wallowed for the moment in the feelings that he was being exposed to since his eyes were still being kept literally in the dark about things. Eventually though he gave a snicker and a smirk as his hand grasped at the edge of her skirt, giving a sound tug before his ears twitched at the sound of the clasp of the thing hitting stone as well as the muted sound of cloth puddling.
