"I'm here, the party can now begin." He came in and gave a quirky little grin then knocked his friend on the shoulder and let a chair engulf him. "I was coming to bring you these but since you're here..." Reaching into his bag, he pulled out the two candles he'd gotten from his father and handed them over to Malikhai.
Kaelin was standing there rather awkwardly when Zahara and Faate showed up, but she offered them a hospitable smile nonetheless. "Piper went to settle Savvy in, but she'll be down in just a bit." And sure enough, there she appeared.
Directing Faate to carry the goodies she'd brought into the kitchen, Zahara quirked an eyebrow and frowned. "I would have thought Malikhai was pretty good in the sex department. He had an excellent example and goodness knows he's hung around with my son enough to pick up all sorts of dirty tricks." Thus, glancing at Kaelin. "Don't worry, dear. It does get better."
Coming back into the room with a tray of some kind of dip and some chips, she set them down and then glanced around. "What does?"

"Lovely, they're conspiring." Quirking an eyebrow however as his father still wasn't done making him the center of attention. "He wants to be loud and get me drunk. Someone check him for a fever." Rolling his eyes however at Zykariel, taking the candles and putting them away casually. "Does any party begin without you?"
"If one did, I'm sure it quickly fails." Letting his son play up his party image before he merely shrugged. "I'm just as confused as you are on this all. I was having my own fun before your wife went and started a chain reaction of things. I have cards, and booze, that's about it."
"I wouldn't know and Kaelin can't tell you. They had a hitch and haven't gotten to try such lovely things out." Looking to Faate...right that girl was a little behind the curve as well. "Sex Faate. Sex and the like gets to be the subject of things tonight, among other things because in this case it is the answer to problem solving. Oh good, you brought food."

"Oh, hitches. Hitches I know well." She'd had plenty of experience with awkward sex and passionate and even downright disgusting sex. "What kind of a hitch?"
She was rather embarrassed and felt her face flush as she cleared her throat. "I umm...didn't know how it was done and when he mentioned how he wanted to do it, I kind of umm...thought he was an animal."
"Mom always brings food. She brought some more snacks and a freshly made cinnamon st reusel cake as well as a chocolate one. It was like she knew there was going to be one of these things in the near future or something." The topic didn't really thrill her and she shook her head and frowned. "Well, there's really not that much to talk about, now is there?"
Zahara was a bit intrigued over her daughter's response seeing as this would give her a good idea how she was thinking on it and such. "Well, what have you told her, Piper?"

"I'm fine. just thinking it might be amusing. after all, I didn't have one...just had the afterparty."
A chuckle.
"cards and booze. alright then...break out the cards and booze and lets do things so they'll think twice about kicking us all out again."
but malik did notice the candles. what were those for? glancing at sevilin a moment.

"Amusing for the rest of you I'm sure. You weren't complaining about that after party either, I'm sure." Leaning back in his chair he tucked his hands behind his head. "Do things as in what? Cause mass havoc? I think that's the only thing that would make them think twice.
Catching Malik's look he merely gave an amused smirk before he got up to be the one to fetch requested booze and cards, as well as pulling over a table between them all. "Better throw in some interesting betting as well." Shrugging though, "Usually it's the little things that drive the women crazy. I still hide Zahara's napkin rings just because I think it's funny to watch her go crazy looking for them. I still don't understand why we have them."
"I never turn down cinnamon cake. Never. It would be wrong. Also Faate, as someone who has been sleeping with a man for almost a century now I have to share with someone and Savvy is still too little to corrupt." Turning her attention to Zahara with that said. "That Khai isn't an animal apparently that that she's supposed to feel all foggy in the head. Also we're going to need a potion supply from you."

playing cards was fairly easy and malik was a decent card player. and holding his own while they were betting steel and who knows what once the alcohol kicked in fully.
"Raise you six steel."
throwing the peices of metal coin on the table. glancing at his sons and sevilins.
"So who feels lucky."

"It doesn't matter what we do. They get the need to get together and talk things through and the men are kicked out. Little boys still get to attend, though. Remember when they would let us play on the floor while they were talking about sex above us?" Shaking his head and then glancing at his cards. "I race much better than I play cards, but I'll see your six steel and raise you two. Dad?" Sevilin was perhaps the best poker player of them all. Not because of his cards but because of his ability to be stoic and not give anything away.
"Faate, bring a piece of cake for your aunt." Giving Kaelin a gentle smile. "Don't feel too bad. I used to think men were animals, too. But that was because I didn't have a very good first experience with sex. You won't have that problem. And I will be more than happy to supply you with anything you need."
She served up a piece of cinnamon for her Aunt Piper and Kaelin and chocolate for herself and her mother. "I really don't see why it's a big deal. You don't have to have sex just because you're married. There's no law. In fact, I bet there's lots of couples that don't have sex."
"It's not that I don't want to..." Shaking her head. "I just don't know how. And I don't like feeling like I have no control. Sometimes when Malikhai is kissing me, I lose that control and that scares me."
"Ah, a Sevilin."

"Well some of us paid attention to what was being said and some of use played with our toys like we were supposed to be interested in. Guess who did what out of the two of us." He was drinking more than actively trying to win cards. He never seemed too good at the game...could never tell when someone was bluffing.
"See yours, raise five." He'd admit it, cards was one of his favorite things that he had found to do. He was good at it and it involved strategy and what not, even if you didn't have a winning hand. Not about the cards you held but how well you played them. "Malik thinks he's winning."
Kit plopped crossed arms on top of his brother's head, tilting it. "You shouldn't raise your bet when you have such a bad hand Kariel." Oh yes he still loved to bother Kariel. He had just learned the difference between admiration and annoyance and got to pick and choose which he wanted actively now. "Might want to start racing again."
She never turned down cake that was for sure and she took a moment to eat and savor it some. Cinnamon still did wonders for her mood no matter how many years seemed to pass. "Sex is good for anyone, at anytime...provided they're not too young to be stupid and hurtful about it, or just abusive in general." Nodding though after taking another bite of cake and letting that go down. "I think we all have that feeling...otherwise I would be able to talk and Malik would be able to wear shirts." Smirking however at the Sevilin comment. Indeed. "Just easier to deal with than Sevilin."

"I don't think I'm winning, I know I'm winning."
a slight smirk. he might not be as good at cards as sevilin, who probably had the best poker face imaginable, but he certainly played better he thought then the boys did. throwing in the extra steel to cover the raises so far.
glancing over at Kit with a slight raise of his eyebrow, before grinning lightly.
"and how have you been doing, Kit? other then stalking my son and your brother?"

"I didn't have a clue what was being said at the time, Khai. I just happened to reverie about it later when I understood what was being said." He glanced up at his brother's grinning face and wide red eyes and shook his head then tossed his cards facedown. "I have a pair of twos. I fold." Reaching up and digging his fist into his brother's skull, although gently. "Thanks, Kit. Knew I could count on you. Why don't you pull up a chair and see if you can do better?"
"No law, that's true, but a marriage, or any close marriage-like relationship for that matter, isn't nearly as strong without it. It brings you closer than anything else ever could. Don't you believe that, Faate? Wouldn't you want to know that your husband desires you and you desire him and want to be that close to each other?"
"It works for you and Daddy and that's all fine and good. It works for Aunt Piper and Uncle Malik and that's all fine and good, too. But I'm not married and don't have any reason to want that." Thus over to Kaelin, " You do lose control because you have to. But it's not nearly as bad as you think it is. It's more of a good loss of control."
"It does scare me, though. And Khai is all upset and withdrawing from me and I don't know how to bring him back. I feel sometimes like we shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. Things were better between us before we did. But then I feel awful because I do love him and I don't want to be with him for the rest of my life and his. I'm just not sure I want to....do that."

"No sword cheating. That's just unfair." Rearranging the cards in his hands a moment as things were adjusted at the table. He had quite been expecting Kithaan to come down soon enough. That teenagers was very people oriented. Though he did grin at Zykariel, of course he was bluffing. Though he was very good at that.
He grinned and looked to Malik. "Oh you know, being the picture of good little teenager and putting my brothers to shame. They're just not as fun these days anymore. Getting hitched and what not." He gave a noise however as his brother's knuckles found his head. "Because I've never paid attention enough to know how to play?"
"He's like Dhairiss, just more focused." And less mopey than his own brother was, who had wandered a room away to be by himself as he was probably still upset. Throwing in his own steel and considering his own cards.
"It's the difference between juvinile relationships and adult relationships. Kissing and hand holding only bring you so close before you're wanting something closer. You two should think of it like food as well. If you don't give it a try or two then how do you know if you like it or not? Belive me, you can say no and such all you want. Gods know I made Malik chase after me like he was starving for food. Eventually you get curious enough."

"I'm not using a sword."
smirking lightly and raising a brow.
"You do realize Kit that Malikhai technically is not your brother...unless your referring to Zykariel?"
moving his cards a bit, and thinking about wether or not to push his luck...before taking another drink.

"Yes, that's not for me. I couldn't put up with a woman like mom all the time and with my luck, that's exactly the type I would wind up with." He took another long pull from his bottle, shook it, and frowned when he realized it was empty. "Make yourself useful and fetch me another drink, please, Kit. We'll teach you if you want to learn. You might be good at it."
"I told him no and he got really upset with me. I just want things to go back to the way that they were."
"It depends on how you told him no, too. Piper said something about you thinking he was an animal and I can't imagine he took that very well. Now you know how to make love so you can try it and see how you feel about it. It helps to do some kind of close activity together first. Like bathing together. You're both naked so neither of you is overly self-conscious, the warm water feels like heaven on your skin, and best of all, washing each other can be a very enjoyable experience."
"That's right. You can say no, and I say no. Besides, I don't have anyone that I'd even be interested in doing such things with."
Zahara glanced at Piper and then at her daughter. "What about Mykorian?"

"Didn't say you were, I was reminding you to not do so."
"The day Zykariel gets married, we'll finally know his drinking limit because he most likely did such a thing when being drunk beyond all belief. And he can't find a girl that's not like his mom because he would make them constantly cry with the way he is." Checking out his cards then and plopping them on the table. "Fold."
He gave Malik the same look. "Duh, I'm not stupid. Since when has accuracy been anything. Besides, with how Kelli was talking about that friend of his and what they were going to do, it's inevitable." Kit still had a big mouth though. Moving away he fetched his brother another drink and pulled up a chair to plop down at the table. "Okay, so what do we do?"
"Comfort breeds things." Finishing off her plate and setting it aside before she tilted her head and looked up some. Those familiar enough with her actions knew that meant she was reacting to something Savvy was doing or feeling and deciding if she was needed by the girl or not. "You can say no all you want, but if you say no without trying something first then that just makes you look ignorant and stupid." It was true in its own way. "Myk? He's a great candidate for such things. Not like he'd turn you down."

"And what friend would that be?"
throwing a few more steel on the table.
"Raise three."
Keeping with casual conversation, after all, Kit did like to talk and give him the right questions, he'd sell out just about anyone he knew provided he knew there probably wasn't anything horrible in store for them.
