"You are in a way playing matchmaker. Or like you said at the very least you're enjoying the drama that can come out of such things. I think you just like drama that occurs between that whole attraction, and courting and cajoling, and what not that entails into that whole mess. That and you're a hopeless gambler...you like to see how much you can bet on something and hope for a big payout in some fashion." Smirking at him. "Ah ah ah, don't talk like that...next thing you know the fortress will fall down around out ears and we'll be homeless then."

"Drama is interesting."
Though a shrug.
"We can rebuild it. that ain't that bad. but yes, we don't want it to come tumbling down do I'll be quiet. and I am not a gambler. I do what is best for my house, that's all. sevilin adn zahara both had an attraction, it was in the houses best interest to get them together for security. would you have really wanted to see what sevilin could have done in a jealous fit?"

"I don't think that Sevilin even knows what jealousy is...but no I wouldn't want to see him react if he did discover it or something of the sorts. Though it is amusing how he seems oblivious to how much power he has. Flick of the wrist and we're all dead." Grinning at him again and just watching him like she used to watch him back when they first met. "So then, you want to go to Andal. It's spring there now are you sure you and the boys will be alright?"

"I think we'll be alright. and I got plenty of medication for myself and the boys if need be. Besides, even if I was going to have issues, I've got to go and torment certain folks. It's just good manners. can't let the inlaws think we're ignoring them, now can we."

"Plenty for Kaelin too if she needs it? And if Zahara or any of her kids go? Best make sure to check your supplies. Malikhai acclimates pretty well, but he still has his bad days. Just want to make this vacation as easy as possible so it can actually be a vacation. And your good manners at least make me giggle. I can't wait to see Isleandra...she should of had her baby by now."

The one thing that sucked about being a parent for sure. As much as they could try to protect their babies from all the dangers and wrongs of the plane, it was just too damn hard. It was a job not even a contingent of military personnel could handle. "That's not good enough for me. Teenagers don't do anything they should, as we're beginning to find out. They keep to themselves, mouth off every chance they get and try to get out of anything that they don't want to do." Shaking her head. "But he trusts you more than me so maybe that will weigh the scales in our favor."
"No, at least not intentionally. He had a few of those accidents when he'd get really upset about something and word spread. One of the boys that was hit by one of his blasts disappeared and everyone thought Zykariel had killed him for a while. He didn't have a lot of friends when he first came and then the bullies bullied him into becoming part of their group." Shaking her head and then frowning. He'd misunderstood what she meant. "But what if I tell you no on other things as well? Will you give up on me after a while?"
"Sounds like obligation to me." And nobody wanted to be an obligation to anyone. Biggest thing her parents taught her and her siblings was to earn what they had. Handouts were not for Intharas. "I bet it was hard being from two completely different groups. Drow and surface elf can get along but don't most of the time and they have different everything. Even gods. My cousins know what that's like. I just know my dad's from Andal."

"Yes, more than enough. last time we went was winter, so I tripled my stocks at least to deal with springtime weather. So I should have plenty for most supply sets, and we can always send for more if need be."
a slight smirk.
"you're right, she should have. makes me wonder why she hasn't sent you word or anything yet...maybe it is a little blue baby. maybe she got lucky with a Tier'dal from one of the transports of good between."
a slight grin.
"Yep, I can see Lateef yelling at me if it's blue not three minutes after my feet touch andalian soil."

"May not be good enough, but that's what we have to deal with. Our parents let us figure everything out on our own and even then didn't give us any help. Same for our siblings. Just be happy that they don't have to go through all of that." Giving a light sigh and setting Kelligrin on the bed. "Trusts me, but favors you when it comes to things he wants. Right now we just have to sit back, wait and watch."
Zykariel was a bully here? That was something he didn't know about and he didn't like the thought of his friend being like that too much. "Understandable. But he's gotten better at controlling that." Watching her as she frowned and thinking he had said something wrong, his own grin dropped. "You have the right to say no to anything. Just because you say no doesn't mean I'll throw you by the wayside in some fashion."
"Pretty much." Letting his fingers fiddle with each other in preoccupation of himself. There wasn't much that he had to say to that. "Andal? I take it that's not a place here, huh?"
"Why do you always imply you sleeping with Isle...I dare say I have cause to worry that you had an affair with her behind my back." Shaking her head lightly to that and taking the wine glass from the table again, finishing off what was in it and replacing it on the table before leaning back in her chair. "She's probably been too busy with her new bundle of joy to send me anything."

"I'd prefer they be a little closer to their siblings. I hated my sister but there's no reason why Lyssie and Faate have to hate each other. And Zykariel isn't nice to any of them." Shaking her head and watching Kelligrin who studied her for a minute. "Only when it's something he knows you won't give him for whatever reason. He's quite good at getting what he wants though not a master manipulator like Malikhai."
Well, he wasn't too pleased with that situation at all. Sitting there, staring at both of his parents, he made a noise and then crawled back into his father's lap and started pulling things out of the many pockets on his person. "Sparkles?"
She didn't mean to upset him and glanced down at the ground, idly running a rock beneath her boots. "You don't understand," she said softly. But there was no way he could understand. Lifting her eyes back up to his, she continued. "You might get very frustrated with me, Lord D'vinn. I...I'm not often available for things..and sometimes I might have to suddenly leave. And other times I'll break my word to you."
"A whole other plane entirely. It's a lot like this one though. Dark elves are called Obsidian so I'm an Obsidian-drow, I guess. Their Depths are like Lab's Underground. The surface is where my Aunt Piper is from and she's actually a princess there. Malikhai and Dhairiss, those are my cousins, are princes. The female surface elf who came with you? She's the Queen of the Wood Elves and Aunt Piper's mother. Aunt Piper's father is the King of the Moon elves."

"Not implying that I am sleeping with isle. but I do send servants with my goods transports. a long standing habit of safety precaution. and we know her love of blue. a chance to score a blue elf might be too big a temptation for her to ignore."
A smirk.
"besides, you know that if I wanted to do anything with Isle, it'd have to be on Andal. and you also know that you'd get word of it prolly ten seconds after anything happened. I'd walk through that gate and you'd be on the other side with a knocked arrow."

"For our children it's more of the age difference that sets them apart. Lyssie is still little, Faate is almost a teenager and Zykariel is a teenager. Kel is still just a toddler. Doesn't give them much in common but that doesn't mean they're going to hate each other either. Personally I think Zykariel's been a little jealous ever since he wasn't the only one." Shaking his head lightly. "You just have to start telling him no." Blinking then as his son started into his pockets. "You're into everything, aren't you?"
A chitter and Nym poked his head out of Sevilin's tunic, having crawled down there while the two were still in teh bathroom getting dressed. He sniffed at the child who was picked at shiny items he had stuffed in pockets himself. Hey those are mine! Whiny chitter.
He stopped his steps, now just completely confused. Oh hell he was getting shut down wasn't he? Damn it...and here he thought he had been in good or at least gotten his foot in the proverbial door. Didn't help that she was being formal with him. "Lord D'vinn is my father..." Well hell what did he say now? He was getting brushed off. So much for that good feeling...this was sucking all over again. He tried to be casual about it, "Hey, people have things to do in their own lives. I can't expect you to run on my time. Not everyone is perfect either...rainchecks can always be made." No more victory flag.
He blinked. "Wow." That was pretty much all he could say to that...after all, he didn't think that he would know someone who was more or less related to royalty. "So you're pretty important hm? That's pretty cool." Woe unto the street urchins like him all the more. "I bet you see all kinds of neat things then."
"You've implied it before." Jealous of her friend perhaps? It was debatable. It was a bad habit of hers that she had gotten back in Neriak even, sizing herself up to the other women he was around and often finding herself lacking in some way to the competition. "I wouldn't shoot you, that'd be too good for you. I'd do other more hurtful things like take away your children from you." Turning triple colored eyes to him.

"He has. We conceived Faate on our wedding night and it wasn't but a year that he even had us together the way he wanted us." That boy had never really had things work out in his favor, with the exception of racing. "I know that but they could be nicer to each other. They are siblings after all." Shaking her head and then sighing and dropping her head back against the headboard. "I know."
He blinked big red eyes and stuck the ring he pulled on one of his ears then grinned up at his father. "I wants sparklies." Nym got a squeal of delight before he was pulled out and hugged quite tightly. The best ferret hugger around hadn't had a ferret to hug in a little while. "Daddy lefted Nym. But now Nym back!"
"I-I know that..." This wasn't going well, was it? She'd become very sensitive to changes in moods and knew immediately when Malikhai's metaphorical shoulders sank. "I'm still not telling you enough for you to understand, am I?" Shaking her head. "Let's get to Deepwater and then I'll try to tell you what I really mean. I don't mean what you think I do if I'm thinking correctly about what I think you are." That was...a mouthful and she wasn't even sure it made sense. "Or something like that..." Flushing with embarrassment over formalizing the situation and then babbling incoherently, she turned back to the trail and began walking once again. Though she couldn't help but make him feel a little bit better. "I'm sorry, Malikhai..."
"No, not really. We're just kind of like the higher up employed family of royalty. And that has no bearing on who they are down here though Mama often says Uncle Malik acts like a king in his own right." Hopping up off the couch, she strolled over to one of the bookshelves littering the room and pulled down one of the journals Kieran had left at one time or another. "This was written by Kieran. Kinda gives a better overview of Andal than I am." Studying him for a moment, she frowned. See neat things? No...not really. "What kind of neat things do you mean?"

"Yes I have. but you know it was in jest."
A slight smirk.
"You'd still shoot me. probably in the leg or the hand or something. so that you'd could take my children without me stopping you. You know you have nothing to worry about."
Though leaning forward a bit.
"Besides, I've no reason to have an affair. you keep me more than satisfied."

"Just start threatening with the spoon. I'm sure that will do something...no worries though...trials often spawn closer meanings. Maybe what's happened will bring them together. You just have to think positive about it." Turning his attention to his son and his best friend and he merely chuckled lightly at them. "You want sparklies? I'm sure mommy has some you can have, but you're gonna have to be nice to Nym so he lets you have them too.
A series of chitters from him as he was pulled from his nice warm place and was being hugged on again by the one who just loved to hug him. He squirmed a few moments before settling easily in the child's lap with a few happy chitters.
He blinked. "I don't even know if I'm thinking at all now." Yeah now he was just confused. As she started walking back down the path to stables he followed her again, coming to walk in step with her once more. "Do you have your own horse or do you need to ride with me? Kerick won't mind, he'll probably want to show off anyway. It's what he does." Leading her to his horse and petting at the nose that poked out, happy to see him.
Uh oh she was giving him the 'you're being weird' look. He had gotten that look a lot and knew what such things meant. He'd probably said something stupid which was proven to him when she repeated his words back to him. A slight shrug. "Palaces and those special secret things only really trusted people are allowed in on. New places and what not."
"Admitedly yes I probably would shoot you someplace non lethal but very painful for my own fun." Watching him as he leaned forward some, that certain look playing in his eyes. "Even after all these years and turning you into a scratching post several times over? Though I suppose if anyone is suited to sate you, it's me. You did teach me everything I know...save for those little things I learned on my own or by my own design in my head."

"Hey scratching post is half the fun. just like I enjoy making you hoarse. and yes, I was able to properly mold you to fit my own direct needs."
A slight chuckle at that, before drumming his fingers on the table some.
"want some more wine or anything else to eat? or have I overstuffed your tiny tummy already?"
