She had been nursing her drink while he was talking and when he was done, she merely stopped and stared at him for a long span of seconds. "You think I don't understand what you mean, but I do. Do you know what I did earlier? I sat down with his wife...and do you know how hard it was to walk up to her, to even look at her and think about doing such a thing? I could barely move to do it because I was afraid of her. I was afraid of her because she was a surface elf of one of the most judging brand. I understand what you're trying to say because the stupid little surface elf that fears other surface elves is still there too. She didn't go away, she's never going to. Who you were is never going to go away either, but you have a handle on it. And did you know that to everyone else, I still look nothing more than your crazed pet? Despite everything." Turning from him again and walking once more, she was starting to hit an emotional threshold here. Stress was not a pretty thing.
"No Malikhai hasn't. The father is taken to spare the son from becoming a monster as well. To him it merely looks like Malikhai retains morals and can 'be saved' from whatever is planned for him. Next thing you know, we'll hear about Dhairiss..." But yes there was that question...if Rainmare won, and found more right in his want to call out Malik, what road would Malik take. But...she had spared that decision even after tomorrow...hadn't she? "I have his wife's word that he won't come to our doors. Think me foolish if you want for believing her, but every form of high elf abides by a deal that is set and struck in honesty."
Getting himself together he gave her a nod before he made his was to the girls room. Though he was a tad weirded out as he noted the lack of runic energy that was supposed to be at the door way. Paranoia and such spiking a moment, he put his hand on the doorknob and turned it, pushing the door open adn standing in the doorway for a few moments before he walked into the room. A quick survey of the place. Lyssie was passed out in a slighly odd position, and Faate was...one the floor? Why was she on the floor? Walking over he crouched down and lifted her, blankets and all, off the floor. Really trying not to rouse her from reverie, he set her back to the bed and pressed a kiss to her forehead. Okay that was weird. Watching her a moment more, he walked over to his other daughter and fixed her as well, plopping a kiss on her cheek.
The moment he heard that doorknob turn, he had rolled under the bed, dragging his pillows and the like with him. Eyes wide he prayed that he wouldn't be found. He held his breath, being quiet as could be as her father had crouched. He was afraid he was going to look under the bed for a moment, but it seemed that he wasn't going to look, only put Faate back in bed....why wasn't he leaving yet?

"So that's what brought the I want to see Kithcor thing on."
A small smile to her, and a kiss to her forehead before they started moving again.
"Though the pet thing...that's just the usual thing we get from people that haven't seen us before. most everyone living here that knows us knows better. That's just the usual first assumption. like that damned woman and her chaindog."
though a bit more concerned look at her mentioning the oldest.
"She'll abide by it, I have no doubts. enchanters know the value of words, and deals. to complete thier studies, I'm told, they literally have to traverse Norrath, using thier illusions and thier diplomatic skills to gain access to the various libraries. not that they succeed all the time."
"Do you want to pull Malikhai out of the jousting? I know he has already agreed to me that if he feels anything's not right he'll go immediately to Zahara, forfit or not. but if you'd prefer we can pull him out."
taking a drink from his cup.
"But my main worry right now isn't a koada'dal with an honor bound fanatical mission. It's you. you're completely stressed out, and to be honest I don't know how to help, which aggravates me. this thing with the koada'dal, malikhai competeing in the tournament, the problems with those bandits and horse thieves...I want to help you relax, or soothe your worries some but I just don't know what to do or say."
a slight smirk.
"I mean we can pull him out of competition, but then we'd have to deal with that moody pissed teenager brooding thing. I could butcher the thieves, but then you worry about me and thier like roaches they'll just come back. and wether or not I ignore the Koada'dal, or beat the living hell out of him, you'll worry about it. So is there anything I can do to help you relax and feel better, at least a little bit?"

"Doesn't make it hurt any less when it's said. You're the one who's the pet and crazy at the same time you know. You get to be the at least sane in some way one. Diplomatic would indeed be the word for her though." Nursing her drink again just so that she didn't have to talk for span of time, maybe gather her thoughts all back up and make some sense to things. A sigh and a shake of her head, "He'll only be angry if we pull him out...it will do him no good to spear his pride like that. Besides...like you said he probably won't last too many rounds, his body is nowhere near used to taking force like that several times over." Men what were you going to do with them? But it seemed as per usual despite when things were looking bad, his mind was focused on her. "What can I say, I've become nothing more than a worrier. As for what you can do to help...if you have cinnamon on hand, it's a start." Though a blink and she did stop and turn to him again with an accusatory point of a finger. "And you can't ever say that I eat weird things again because you topped me." About as close to humor she was going to come at all right now.

"Now you should know by now I always have something cinnamon on me. or easy access to it."
though a blink and a shrug.
"Hey, once you cook them, they taste rather like veal. must be all the pies they eat. but alright, I won't pick on you anymore."
a bit of dark humor, before digging around on his person. there it was. two cinnamon sticks and a bag of cinnamon powder.
"there you are, 'chev. anything else? maybe we can get back to the inn later and I'll give you a nice massage with some cinnamon scented oil? I found this little shop on the way to you, full of scented oil, soaps and such. though I think they might be closed. the lady running it was a bit annoyed at my late patronage."

"I like to test the theory of your said avaliability and access." Shaking her head lightly with a wrinkle of her nose. "Ew. Also, veal and pie in no way coordinate unless you're trying to say that eating pie makes them lazy so they aren't using their muscles as much and I'm getting far to detailed on this. We're not discussing this." Taking cinnamon things from him, pocketing the bag and a stick before breaking the one she still had, popping a piece of it into her mouth. She'd stick to her tree bark. "By late patronage, you don't mean 'I kicked in the door' do you?" It was amusing though that he knew what steps to take in soothing her, supplies and all. Giving a sigh once more, she crossed her arms lightly over her chest. "You always spoil me when you know I'm upset and I always fall for it. What kind of fair is that?"

Faate didn't even move as she was settled back in her own bed. Lyssie on the other hand shifted and murmured something in her reverie, kicking off the covers that were resting over her and then rolling onto her side. Faate stirred slightly and lifted her head off the pillow, reaching over and snuggling back in. "Korian..." Finding her sister's body, she settled and then whispered. "Love Daddy."
Zahara watched her son's toes for a moment before he was completely gone and she shook her head then turned and hovered in the doorway of her girls' room. Letting him deliver his affection to both, she walked to his side and glanced down at the both of them. "Everyone but Zykariel is down and he's still babysitting," she whispered softly.

Raise of an eyebrow at the name but merely shook his head, attention jumping to Zahara then as she came up to his side. "Still watching Dhairiss is he? Doesn't surprise me. But look at that, not often they they're all down in uniform fashion...let's not ruin it." Thusly ushering her out of the room, following after her and pulling the door shut. A pause to quick scribe the runing that had been undone earlier. He was going to have to ask Faate about that tomorrow. But for now he stood next to his wife, still off kilter but trying his best. "We'll have to remeber that if we want this again, we just run them around till they get tired."
Mykorian slipped out from under the bed as they left. Well...that was a close call. He wasn't exactly sure if he should stay, but he didn't really want to go either. Looking around a moment, he decided on a failsafe. Back under the bed with him and he spread out pillows and blankets, fixing his pallet under the girls' bed. That would work.

She gave a nod and headed out, waiting for him to shut and lock the door before she giggled. "Zykariel has a very active Dhairiss on his hands right now. Apparently the little one consumed too much sugar and now cannot seem to reverie. Poor Kariel." At least it would act as a good deterrent for sexual activity without taking his drugs. Or when he was actually sexually active since Sevilin had revealed that little tidbit to her. "It works nicely so we will certainly keep that in mind." Taking his hand, she entwined their fingers and glanced up at him. "Fancy a ramble with your lovely wife Lord Inthara?"

"This is why children should not have vast amounts of sugar because it only serves to make then all hyper when they don't need to be." Shaking his head lightly at the thought of such things. "It's good for him, breeds responsibility." A look down to their hands as she twined her fingers around his in comfortable familiar gesture. "If my lovely wife wants to go on a ramble, then she's going to need to put something else other than a flowy nightgown and a robe on. Don't you think?"

"It's fair because you know I like to spoil you, it makes you feel better which in turn makes me feel better. so everyone wins. and no, I didn't break the door down. only knocked on it until lights came on. after all if they don't expect late patronage, they shouldn't still been burning the scented candles to attract people."

"In other words if the voice of reason is not soothed, neither is the one that voice speaks to. Calm the former and you calm the latter. And yet here the latter is trying to do just that. Sure you're not out for yourself?" And yes, now she was just messing with him. Mostly because it was just so much more stress adding to stay angry with him. "I suppose if we all win, there's no harm. And there's no sense in wasting money...which why being a thief was so much more profitible.

"That's right. But it is good for him. Will deter him from being a father entirely too young." She glanced down at her less than appropriate attire and then gave a nod. "Good obvservation, Lord Inthara." She walked with him into their room, letting him attend to the door and summarily stripped and reclothed herself in her favorite yellow dress and and boots, strapping her daggers to her thighs one at a time then spun. "I think this is ramble appropriate, don't you?" And easy to move around if activities required such of her.

"I suppose so. Not much of a difference, but at least you have boots and daggers." Waiting for her and then taking her hand, the two of them making their way downstairs and out of the inn. Truth be told he liked being out in the open...when the streets and such weren't teeming with hoards of ant like people piddling around at tournament. Now was nice, barely anyone out as people were settling down for the night and a general calm settling over the place. Calm was good for him, very good. "No ants."

"Okay, I admit, I just like rubbing things on your naked body."
Smirking lightly and offering his hand to her.
"well then lets head back. we'll check in on the kids, and then you and I will get some time alone for your massage."

She usually slept nude so this was actually a massive improvement but she left it alone and merely took his hand, heading out with him. She'd been in on his explanation of ants earlier and merely chuckled, "Deserted fair grounds. It's almost like a playground, isn't it?" Glancing at the various booths, empty now but ready to be refilled and full of laughter tomorrow for the tournament. "The tournament is drawing to a close soon. Will you feel better once that happens?"
