Ears twitched at that noise and he followed them to the kitchen of the place. Caution was forgotten a moment as he jogged over to where she was lying, taking her by the shoulder and pulling her up from the floor gently. Yup, that was blood and it was a puddle of hers...and from the looks of things, she had been worked over. Even on her dark skin, the trauma was obvious this time, swelling adding in more clues and the various careless cuts. They at least didn't look too deep...and he was thankful she had least had the sense to call him. He would ask her where they were and if close beat the living hell out of them himself, but she probably didn't know.
"You'll be fine, I'm here." Using what limited healing magic he knew to close up some of the cuts and a rag that he ripped to shreds and tied around others sufficed for the moment. Gathering her up in his arms he didn't take the time to hide that he'd been there, or get her things, or any such other things. That all could be taken care of later. "This time you're taking me up on my offer to stay at my place and you're not coming back here either." He had had enough of this...and she may hate him for it but he would have to deal with that.
Carrying her outside, never minding the looks of others he set her on Jerick then pulled himself up behind her, letting her fall back against him as he kicked Jerick into a trot before the horse poofed into heated winds and shadow. Better to make it a short trip home. Not bothering to stable the horse either, he headed inside, kicking the door open. And pinning the first serf that came by with a glare. "Get me a cleric. Now."
He was furious to say the least...but waiting for said cleric he turned a softer look to the girl he was holding against him, despite the mess they both were by now from her blood. He didn't know what to say to her, or assure her of...he supposed this was a step by step process. First things first, get her healed.
"Faate can take care of me. And Zykariel too!" He was always excited when Zykariel was home. He was the fast paced adventerous one who contrasted his other siblings and was so much fun when he was in the mood. Making a noise however as Nym squirmed from his hold and jumped to Zahara's shoulder, giving a little ferret like cough before he went to licking his paws. "Very hungry....but do I have to have soup? Not all sick people eat soup mama."

"Yes indeed...more wild, calwing, screaming, sex...probably right after dinner on teh table if you don't get your cinnamon."
A slight chuckle, before motioning to the table.
"And to think, you know they prepared you cinnamon goodies before zahara got here. me and the kids will have to eat them."
-----
Malik was working out in the arnea when he felt the sharp anger and hate raging across his oldest's bond...and shoved the servant aside, rushing upstairs, weapon in hand to his son...adn when he saw Kaelin, he understood.
"Get her on the couch, right now. we'll get some wet rags to help the swelling. I take it you found her at home?"
already at the linkstone.
"Zahara, come immideately, we need your medical help, we have what appears to be a rather seriously injured young lady."

She didn't protest all that much, her head was still spinning and she merely clung to him as he headed off back home. Another whimper or two before she let her eyes close. He could do whatever he wanted to do to her, she really didn't care at this point. "No more pain..." She felt like she was going to throw up...or pass out. But she didn't want to be set down or handed off, so she clung to him as tightly as she could.
"But I want to do it." She glanced over at Nym who could only tolerate being in a child's squeezing hold for so long and then straightened with a laugh. She adored children. "Yeah? What else do they eat, Kit? They can't have chocolate or cookies because that upsets the tummy." Oh dear, work was calling and she had a sick child to take care of. "Well, looks like you get your wish, Kit. Go tell Faate you're hungry. She'll make you something besides soup, okay?" Picking up the linkstone and already heading for her bag of tricks. "I'm on my way."
She got there in the next ten minutes and was already examining Kaelin where she lay. "What the hell happened to her?" Shaking her head and quickly healing the worst of the cuts. "There's glass in some of these..."

"They can have...toast, and tea, and fizzy water." Naming a few things that he would prefer over soup...because he wouldn't even get the good soup, he'd get the mostly water soup. He gave a little huff though as his mother apparently had work to do, not that he understood the urgency of it all. He just knew his attention got taken from him. Thusly heading off upstairs...to Zykariel though. Faate would give him soup and he knew it.
He was quite prepared for the cascade effect that he knew was going to happen. His parents and brother would know first, and they would further cascade things. Not that he cared too much what they all did as he was quite focused at the moment on what he was doing himself. Putting her down probably wasn't going to be an opinon what with how she was clinging to him, they'd need a crowbar and he particularly didn't want to put her down anyway.
Yet he knew the importance of such things...he just wish he didn't and with some tricky detaching he managed to set her down like his father said, and letting Zahara take care of her for the moment as he turned steely eyes to his father's own. "In the kitchen, if you want to be precise." His voice threaded with that cord of hate and anger indeed, despite how he was trying to stay where he was and not go wreak havoc on certain people. Even if they deserved it. Eyes cutting back to Zahara. "Same thing that's been happening for years, that's what. And because they probably were upset the bottle was empty and that was probably her fault too."
What pissed him off the most was that he let her go. Kaelin was nowhere near big as him, he could pick her up and toss her over his shoulder and he just never did. Always let her win. And when she was feeling better she'd probably want to go skipping right back home even if it meant a repeat performance. Three years ago, it hadn't bothered him that much...but after that one day where she seemed wholly different to him in a good way...well he cared more. But for now, seething was the right word.
Piper and Dhairiss were quite aware of what was going on, but they were eavesdropping more than being directly involved. Dhairiss was a tad too curious for his own good sometimes and she doubted that her inappropriate involuntary random giggling would be appreciated right now. Thusly they were close enough to be of use if needed, but not in the way.

"It's not going to be happening much longer, you have my word on that."
though elaborating more.
"Her father is a violent lothian type. you can imagine then what happens."
glancing to his wife and youngest.
"Dhairiss, go see about helping get a room ready. she's staying with us, wether she wants to or not. Piper...see if you can get the cooks to get something soft for her to eat."

He was half aware of what was going on but became much more alert when his little brother entered his room. Plopping the kid on his bed next to him, he threw an arm over his forehead. 'Remember this if I teach you nothing else, Kit. Don't ever drink more than you would after you win, after you lose."
Zahara worked quickly and efficiently, pulling out all the glass shards and cleaning the cuts. At some point, her patient passed out. It was better that way even if Malikhai seemed to tense up even more when she finally went limp on the couch. "She'll be fine." But without whimpers and movements, Zahara could work much more efficiently. She finished a short time later, sitting back on her heels and wiping her forehead with her sleeve. "Keep her down for a bit so everything has time to recover. And I wouldn't let her go back wherever it was she was. Whoever did this to her isn't worth her associating with. Hot compresses, we need to get her back."

Kicking his feet lightly, watching his brother but not quite sure what was up with him too much either. "Why? What does that do? Did you get sick too?"
They both perked up in similar fashion before Piper pushed Dhairiss around the corner after giving him some instructions of her own to follow up on Malik's and then she turned and headed to the kitchen to do her part. Frankly, she was worried about what Malikhai would do...he had horrible tantrums when he was little and he let his anger get the better of him sometimes. She would hate for him to go out and do something he would end up regretting despite how some deserved high punishment handed down to them.
He didn't say much, even to his father who was trying to reassure him. Malikhai merely stood there observing how things were, not happy when she passed out but happy at the same time seeng as Zahara always worked better when one was absolutely still. "Not just him." He knew a tad more, she has ended up spilling at least half the beans to him when they were younger but not all of them. His fur was all on end and some petting was not going to soothe it down this time.

"Malikhai, come with me and lets have a talk about this situation."
taking his oldest by the arm, and leading him to the other room, mostly closing the door.
"I want to know everything you know. Her father is going to be taken care of, for other reasons. but tell me everything going on. I've had my share of dealings with her mother that led me to believe that she wasn't a factor in this."

"Never mind, sport." Shaking his head with a groan and rubbing at his eyes. "Yeah, kind of. Not sick like you are though." Reaching over and ruffling the boy's hair. "Do you need something or just came to keep me company?"
The compresses were delivered to her quickly and she bestowed a smile on both Piper and Dhairiss for their help. It took a few moments to lay them all where she needed them to help with the swelling and make sure everything was going to heal the way it was supposed to. When the compresses themselves didn't bring her back to consciousness, Zahara resorted to smelling salts. "Easy..."
A horrible scent assaulted Kaelin and she coughed and choked as her eyes fluttered and water was held to her lips. They didn't feel cracked and bloody anymore. She groaned, her body going through hell despite the healing. "Khai..."

"I'm hungry and mama had to go to work. She told me to go get Faate, but I don't want anymore soup and she'll give me soup." Which he stuck his tongue out at the notion of at the moment.
She snagged Dhairiss by his tunic as he came back downstairs and she crossed paths with him on her way to hand Zahara a bowl of scrambled eggs. Soft and full of protien, they fit the bill. But she was keen on keeping Dhairiss where she could see him, just in case. Setting the bowl down next to Zahara, she worked on stifling some giggles. This is why this was so annoying at times. "Anything else you need Zahara?"
And this was the part he didn't want to do. But he figured being obsinate would only make things worse right now. "I only know what she's told me. I don't know about their beliefs or anything but I do know her mom will beat on her just as quickly as her dad will. They don't care about her but she doesn't understand that. She things she owes them something even though they dont' deserve it." Arms crossed and drumming the fingers of one on the opposing arm, fidgety. But since the door wasn't closed all the way his ears twitched at the sound of his nickname.

"Ah." Well, that made sense. He chuckled at his brother's reaction and then rolled onto his side to face the younger elf. "What do you want to eat if not soup? I promise I won't make that for you."
Gently pressing Kaelin's abused body back down onto the couch, she shook her head. "It's alright. Deep breaths and stay calm. You're fine. I'm not going to hurt you, in fact, I've spent the last little bit healing you. But you aren't ready to get up and go dancing around." Hearing his name, she gave her a tender smile. "He'll be back in a minute. For now, just rest."
Still not quite feeling like herself, she settled back against the pillows and tried to pretend like all was well. Her whole entire body felt battered and bruised though and it wasn't enjoyable. "Khai..." she whispered one last time before she dropped into reverie and her body continued to recover.
Zahara turned to Piper as her patient went calm once more and shook her head. "No, but I do have something for you." Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a bit of wormwood as well as some saffron. "Try both of these at different times and see if they stop the flushed and giggly feeling."

"Go to her."
Gesturing to his oldest to tend to his girlfriend, though neither would admit it, before setting down at a desk, drumming his fingers on it. Malik didn't like being deceived. especially by someone attempting to play on his position. he took special care to make sure those associated with his house would reflect good on him, and if her mother was as bad as her father....she might need to have an accident too.
But that wasn't the only thing on his mind that upset him, and he got pen to paper, writing to andal, specifically to Lateef. expressing his dislike with being kept out of the loop, and that he was insisting that Fianna and Kieran come to him at the first available opportunity. Lateef and Caprice invited as well but he better see Kieran and Fianna...before another letter giving Galesen an scathing reprimand for not informing him of the leder silvercrests death as well, before having them sent off.

"Can I have oatmeal? It's made of health so it's good for sick people." Turning to look fully at his brother as well, giving a grin, "Are you sure you can make something else besides fish or cookies?"
Dad made it simple, and that was good for him right now. Didn't probe for more information he may think his son was hiding but the truth to the matter was that was all he knew. A nod to his father and he turned on his bootheel and headed back out to the women. Now came the frustrating part where he had to remember himself. Seeing as how she was out though, he merely waited for Zahara to move aside before he scooped hre up and took her to the room his brother had fixed up, though he nodded to Keely to follow as he passed her. "Do me a favor and sit and watch her." Laying her down in the bed he made sure she was comfortable before leaving her with Keely and heading back downstairs and purposefully toward the door.
"Go see your father." Said as Malikhai was coming out of the room the two had been in previously. Kept Dhairiss out of the way and didn't leave Malik along to brood on things. Right now, no one needed that...and if Malik started, Malikhai would start and then it would all go downhill. Did not need down hill right now. First things first. She blinked at Zahara, as this was all very casual for her seeing as she was used to it and was multitasking. Trying to stifle a giggle, it came out through her nose as a snicker. Oh come on now, this wasn't fair! Especially at moments like this. But she let her son have his way with taking Kaelin upstairs to rest...yet was equally surprised as he came right back down with that air about him. "Malikhai D'vinn, don't you dare go anywhere."
A blink to his mother but he nodded and headed into the other room, watching as his father penned out something or other. "I think mom is trying to distract me." Scratching at his chaotic hair some, but otherwise not seeming too upset about everything. He pulled at his tunic some though as if it would help relieve the slight constriction he felt in his chest. He didn't know where or why that pain came up from time to time when things seemed to get overly emotionally or physically heated, for elves that is, but he knew he didn't like it. Good thing it rarely happened, or he'd complain more.

"I think she's trying moreso to distract me."
before turning his attention to his youngest, a critical eye when he was tugging on his tunic.
"What's wrong with you? You didn't eat or drink anything you weren't supposed to, did you?"

"We'll just break even and say that she's trying to distract the both of us because she's good at that kind of thing." Shrugging before shaking his head lightly to his father on his question. "I'm fine, chest just feels a little tight. Happens. Though you know me, I'm never opposed to trying anything at all." Chuckling lightly at himself and his quirky nature. "I'm at least old enough to not pick up everything off the floor an eat it anymore." Many an upset stomach in his younger days. "Aren't you supposed to be worried about Khai more than me?"
