"Which might not be a bad thing."
A slight grin at his wife, before mussing his son's hair again.
"Well how about this old elf gets out of your way so you young kids can enjoy some time. besides, if I stay here too long Zahara's likely to come in here wondering what the hell I'm doing."

Well, that didn't help, did it? "You can throw them all out of the room for right now but they are all welcome to stay at home for as long as they want." Ruffling Sevilin's hair. "You can bluster and threaten but they all know you won't follow through."
Zykariel was off in his own world, but he glanced down when Kit came over and ruffled his hair. "Sure, sport. But only if you let me reverie with you. I can't be kicking Lyssie out of her bed."
"I'm not talking to him so don't ask me to."
"You don't have to do that. I'm sure Malikhai would rather talk to you two than me."

Aella and Onyx were walking the streets of Deepwater, doing nothing more than seeing familiar sites, even if they had changed in the last while. Continuing their conversation.
"Do I look like the sort of girl who goes 'shopping'?" She spread her arms. "I don't even usually carry money, let long...souvenirs."

"It is if she's sitting at the end of it." Rolling her eyes lightly and looking over to Kaelin once more. "Come now, he's lived and listened to us since before he was born. Some days he's itching for company, especially when Zykariel isn't around."
"I have a better idea. How about we save the fanfare and pleasantries for later and get home? I'd like my own bed, in my own room, away from crowds and people who probably want to bother me about tournament champion things. Can we do that?"
"Yes...but they don't know that. I threw Kelligrin out that one time." Which was funny and lasted about five hours before the boy was back and not posturing like he was big and bad anymore. Shaking his head at Faate. "You're going to run into him again soon enough. Just like your mother."
"Yes! Yes you can. We can stay up late and you can tell me stories and we can sneak out and go fishing in the middle of the night when all the big fish are out!" Say what now?

"No, you and kaelin can socialize and enjoy eachother, then you can accept your title and the things that go with it, and then we can all go home."
A slight smirk at the kids and a look to his wife.
"And no matter how hyper you feel, no running around or anything excessive. and before you ask, it's my definition of excessive."
and he wanted to talk to Zahara and ask why she gave her something that would make her hyper in the first place.

"But honors part involves standing." Which wasn't an appealing idea right now but he just gave a sigh to it and supposed he would have to just buck up and deal with that anyway. That's what tournament was about after all, fanfare and prizes and titles.
"I suppose your definition on top of Zahara's definition. Break out the leg shackles." Giving a giggle to that before a sigh. "No really, I feel wonderful actually." Which was probably weird but she was enjoying the feeling for now.

"Which is what concerns me."
A slight grin before finding Zahara sitting on Sevilin's lap.
"See, no harm done, so scratches, bumps, bruises or whatnot."
giving her the 'you did something and I want to know what' look..before glancing around a bit.
"Alright...I think that's everyone accounted for."
Onyx chuckled lightly.
"I suppose not. but just thought I'd offer. and shopping doesn't mean just material stuff...also consider buying something to eat. adter all, I'm sure you don't want to live on travel food all the time."

"And felt awful and nearly cried when he came back." Pressing a kiss to her husband's hair, she snuggled down and closed her eyes. It had been a damn long day.
"Shh!" Clapping a hand over Kit's mouth and dragging him to the door. "If you let Mom know about that, she won't let you do it anymore."
Faate grumbled under her breath and shook her head then turned on her heel and headed out to find the idiot who had nearly made her cry. She caught him leaning against one of the many poles, looking bored and quirked an eyebrow. "Lyssie must be losing her touch."
"I could accept it for you...if you wanted, that is." Looking slightly uncertain as his parents left. Only then did she relax. Yes, Lady Piper had promised that she wouldn't tell Malikhai about her mother but Kaelin didn't know if she could trust Malikhai's mother or not.
Zahara was half in reverie when Malik's voice drifted to her ears, causing them to twitch. "Hmm? Good boy. Raven, give him a treat."

He gave a surprised noise at being shushed and dragged but remained upbeat none the less. "She's not gonna find out. She doesn't listen to things when you mention fishing. Why do you think she's surpised all the time when daddy brings home fish for dinner?"
"But that's not the important part." Letting her settle as she pleased on him as children did what children did and he turned his attention to Malik and Piper. "Still upright, good show. By the way you're a b*****d. I just wanted to say it too, I never get to say the mean things." Smirking and giving a chuckle at Zahara's mumbling. "I think I'll spare my fingers from getting chopped off at trying to do such a thing. And yes, everyone is accounted for, just need to weather the honors and such. Which involves Faate so we're still here for a bit."
She was humming to herself a little but did give a soft melodic laugh or two at the menfolk and a tired Zahara. "He can't have treats, he's all bashed up." Twining her fingers together in front of her with another smile and closing her eyes briefly. "I am indeed enjoying this stuff..."
He sighed as they left and leaned his head back some to glance at Kaelin behind him again. "No that's okay...people are going to make a big enough deal about this as it is, I might as wlel give them what they want so they leave me alone. Which is a gracious honor passing and what not. I just have to stand to do it." Which was unappealing right now.
"Are we talking to me again or should I shut my mouth now and just go home. I was going to stay and play happy spectator over awards, but hey if no one wants me here, why stay right?"

Malik rolled his eyes lightly.
"Yes, yes I know. I get to hear that from everyone now. I was hoping to get to talk to your wife about the drugs she's giving mine, that are making her feel hyper, which seems in direct conflict to the 'don't do anything stressful' mandate. I'd rather not have to chain her to a bed."
A slight smirk at his wife.
"and being bashed up doesn't mean I can't have treats. just not the kinda of treats I'd want to have."

"Hyper? No. Sleepy."
"It's not the fishing, Kit. It's the going fishing in the middle of the night when you're supposed to be in reverie. Trust me. Mom doesn't want you out at night."
"I just don't want you to stress yourself and cause yourself more pain. How long can the ceremony be? Although, I have heard it said that once you get up there, the time and your pain doesn't really seem to matter. It's something worth going through. Or something like that." Shrugging lamely, and then pulling her chair forward slightly so he could look at her without straining his neck. Surveying his body, her voice dropped to the barest whisper. "Does it hurt so very much?"
Faate rolled her eyes. "My parents seem to think that I overreacted or something like that. Daddy told me to come find you and apologize if you wanted me to." Lifting an eyebrow as if to ask him if he did.

A look to Zahara then back to Malik. "I'm taking that as an out of commission for the moment memo." Turning a look to Piper and indeed raising an eyebrow. "Well...she looks pleasant enough. Maybe if you're lucky it's just her mind that wants to go a million miles a minute. Of course bed chaining is always an avaliable option. I have a feeling she won't be the only one threatened with it."
"I don't think I'm allowed to have that kind either." Blinking, no really, she didn't know anymore. "I just haven't started being physically hyper. Yet. I feel the urge to be though." Tugging at his sleeve then at the elbow in childish fashion. "This award thing isn't going to take too long will it? Or do you have to do something that you should get to work on? Now."
"But that's the only time the big fish come out. We take a light and you're with me. I'm safe."
"I really don't know, I haven't stayed for an award ceremony in a long while. It just better not be unbearably long since I'm now apparently tournament champion." Watching her as she then took to her concerned self and he merely gave her a smile. "It's nothing I've not felt before. I'll be fine. Promise." Giving a cringe as he sat up then with some effort. Oh yes, back was a wreck. "You can come with me though if you wish. That would lessen the stress some. I'd at least have someone pretty to look at."
"Somehow I think I'm supposed to be the one to apologize and if I don't I'm going to keep getting the cold shoulder from people." Awkward silence ensuing before pushing off the pole and turning to her. "So, I'm sorry." He wasn't eaxctly sure what for still.

"No, it won't take too long, and no, I don't have anything else to do right now."
glancing at his wife, and then back to sevilin and zahara.
"I'd like to talk to her as soon as she's back in."
A slight grin then at his wife.
"and what would you like to do then?"

Out of commission was absolutely right. Zahara had been working nonstop for the last three days and it had taken almost all of the rest of her energy to fully heal Malik's leg. Needless to say, she was probably not going to be seeing the awards ceremony either.
Faate blinked at him and then crossed her arms. "You're sorry for the only reason that I'll be upset otherwise." Shaking her head. "You don't even realize why I'm upset with you, do you?" Then giving a chuckle. She didn't even know WHY she was upset with him in the first place. "Apology accepted. We'll talk after the awards ceremony. I think I should explain..." An official came and beckoned her onto the field and she stood in her designated spot, waiting to be called.
"That means you'll be honored last." Hiding the warmth in her cheeks, she helped him sit up and then stand up as they were informed the ceremony was ready to begin. She didn't help him out onto the field but stood beside and slightly behind him as was proper. He was the one to be honored...she was just...decoration.
"Yes, I know that." Plopping the boy on his shoulders, he gave a wave to his father and headed out to the stands. "Let's go cheer Faate on, Sport."

"I would like to go home, personally. If I'm going to have to start enduring things from you people for how I am acting then I would like to go home." Rocking on her heels once before settling again. Oh yes, this felt very very good. "I'm going to have to get more of that."
He shrugged lightly. "We're staying with you all, so it's not like she'll be far away. Let her get some rest and then she'll be back on the healing warpath and yelling at you all and what not."
"Erm...no" Might as well be honest about it but it seemed that regardless of his answer, she was in a better mood about it all. Which was a good thing in his book so he was going to go with it. "Sounds good, I'll wait with baited breath."
"The most waiting, joy." But he let her help him up and put on his 'it doesn't hurt I'm fine' face for those that needed to see it and such. Might as well just get it over with.
"Can I scream really loud, even though she doesn't like it when Dhairiss does it?"
