"Yes, you are though I wish you wouldn't spoil me quite so much. I do enjoy it, though." Giving a grin to Nym and tapping him lightly on the nose. "I have an old navel ring you can have, fuzzball." Just to mollify him because she liked it when her household was happy. Fingering the jewelry, she began trading certain pieces out for some of the newer ones and frowned. "What trouble?"

"I just spoil you a lot at once instead of a lot of little things frequently." Was she really going to make him say it? That was just mean. Thusly he shoved his hands in his pockets, watching her and stalling for the time being. "You know...the sister thing, the Nadai thing, the Zykariel thing..." Trying to be as short owrded about it as possible. Heck he still limped sometimes. Letting Nym go who started snatcing up old jewelry just because.

"Which I appreciate." Far more than he knew, too. It made her feel special to get such beautiful gifts from him and it was even more special that he took the time to have them commissioned. She knew there wasn't a single vendor in the marketplace who had come up with these by themselves. Just like her wedding ring, he'd designed each piece with the help of a skilled craftsman. Her husband could be artistic when he wanted to. "Oh, that trouble. i thought you were going to confess something else to me." Waving her hands and kissing him again. "You worry too much. I'm by your side, remember? For better or worse. Trouble or not."

He didn't know why she could brush it off like that and he didn't know if it was good or not but he resolved to merely shug lightly and just agree with her for the time being. She was in a good move and there was no reason to break that. "No confessions. I have a few of my own worries that deal with work, but that's work and not something to deal with when I'm not working. "I worry just the right amount for the both of us, I think."

Patience. he was just outside the boundaries of the inthara home, marked rather cleverly by near invisible runic markings. some blended in so well with the surroundings he almost stepped on them. had to admire the careful work and dedication of someone that obviously didn't want to be found without knowing it.
but he was testing it. seeing what triggered or not. dead animals, live animals...seeing if there was any reaction from the symbols.
She was quite content with Zykariel's performance with her instruction, and was resting against the much younger elf and lightly playing with his hair some just because. This boy here was her ticket to status and the prizes that came with it. and if this kind of thing kept him happy enough to be useful, she'd do it. nothing was out of bounds for her acquisition of status and political power

"Oh good." She had to admit that sometimes it might seem like she brushed things off but with the amoutn of things she'd been through...well, it was easier to just brush things off. And she honestly thought Zykariel was just a stage. "I'd agree with that. A little bit of worry is good but when I worry, I tend to go above and beyond." Giving him a grin as a noise sounded behind her.
"Mommy, you promised we could ride the horses if I cleaned up. I did."
"I know, Kelligrin, but Daddy was giving me a present. Aren't they pretty?" He gave her various compliments and happy noises and she took his hand. "Let's go ride those horses." Giving Sevilin a final kiss and leading her son outside. He was too small to ride by himself so she mounted up on Trissarem and headed for the corral.
He still felt strange about the whole thing, still, but he'd learned far more than he'd ever bargained for. He let her play in his hair for a little while longer and then sat up and began to gather his clothes.

Of course anything that did touch the little runic symbols got a uniform blip of light.
And traded in for kids and horses again. Hm...that meant he was alone and could clean the house all nice and deep like. He hadn't done that in a while. Though he was partially distracted and had been for the last half hour or some. There was an unusual amount of things setting off his little runic barriers. Things didn't usually get that close or that big of groups. Which of course hiked his suspicion...should put another layer of runes around the property. That would make him feel better.

Okay. anything set those off. dead or alive. now we can see if it's only touching, or not. so tying a dead animal to a stick, and dangling it over the runic markers.
She watched him get up, leaning up on her elbow on her side and gave him a slight grin.
"Now, be honest. was it really so bad and unsettling this time?"

She stayed in the corral with Kelligrin, letting her son take the reins a few times just so he could feel like he was doing all sorts of things that he really wasn't. Controlled independence, she'd learned, was the best way to help her kids learn responsibility and keep them happy.
"No." But there was still something missing, something more important than what had just happened in that bed. He was even more confused now than ever before. Maybe it was time to go talk to his father. And yet...things were still awkward between them. "I have to go. But thank you."

Same reaction from the markings, giving a uniform glow even to the object dangled above it.
A look over to the corral and such that was going on over there as he stepped outside. Why did she have to let them on horses. Shaking his head he called over to her. "Don't wander near the lines, I'm going to work on them some." His paranoid streak from pings was demanding it of him and hey one could never be too careful.

Okay. so no jumping over, no stepping on. this guy was good. So slipping back into the darkness and hidden spots, waiting to see now if all his activity brought any kind of reaction...and whom or what it might bring out, lightly coating his daggers with some poisons, as well as a dart gun and it's darts. some for siphoning magical energies, some for slowing an enemy down, and some for making sure blood didn't coagulate and stop flowing.
She watched him a bit.
"You're not the type for casual sex, are you? you want something a bit more solid?"
though she didn't object to him getting dressed or saying he was leaving.

"I don't know what type I am. You're the only lover I've ever had, Cerrillia. What do you think that means?" Shaking his head and gathering up the rest of his things before heading for the door. "Remember, my family stays out of it."
Her husband's voice worried her, especially the implications it held. Slipping off the horse, she lifted her son into her arms and moved towards the border where her husband was at. "Sevilin, what's going on? Do you need to tell me something?"

"I won't do anything against your family. And anything I can stop, I will stop. we're not here for anything more then information. we're not here to pick fights or start wars."
she got herself up, and neverminding the clothes, took his hand a moment.
"Here's a question for you then, if you don't know. when you look at me, what do you see?"

He easily took to thinking things up in his head, and it was duly translated with his fingers into runes that scribed themselves to where he wished them to be, adding another layer to the several he already had up. It would just make him feel better. "I'm just feeling paranoid is all. You can never be too careful."

"If you're sure that's all it is." Shifting her son who was indeed beginning to get heavy. She walked beside him while he patrolled and her son played near them both. Kelligrin got a little dirtier than Zahara liked but with a toddler it was hard to keep them out of the dirt. "Here, Sevilin. You can take him inside and start his bath. I need to take care of the horses anyway."
Giving a grin to his father and lifting his hands in that 'pick me up' motion. "Daddy! Can I have bubbles?"
"Good." That was what he really needed to know. Her hand on his stopped him and he frowned. "You're an elf like me. A woman, older than I am but one who seems to understand I don't want to be treated like a child. There's something to you that I don't quite understand and you do scare me at times."
