"Me 'n mama used to go see Broog all the time." So yes, she remembered what Broog looked like, if not clearly and she shook her head. "Nope, he's squishy." And squishy was not scary at all. Sitting there she reached down to play with the new metal pieces on her boots. "They glow." Granted she wasn't too up to date on the apperance of those around her that had changed save for the few scant glances she had gotten through Bumbles lately. Which wasn't much. A little nod, seeing them more wouldn't be bad. "You glow too." But they were still talking about Bumbles. "Sometimes my head hurts and my tummy feel sick and I get dizzy."
Which got Malik a whack in the back of the head. "Don't pick. As normal as Sevilin finds it, I find it equally stressful. You should be grateful to her." Seeing as if Zahara hadn't been the one taking care of Savryn when she was first born, the little would not have survived until Piper was able to take care of her herself. Everyone else had been too angry or upset at the time to pay attention or care to pat attention to the little elf.
It had always been a point of contention for various people she supposed. "Shouldn't we be happy he's paying attention to her now regardless of why?" That's waht she was telling herself anyway. Every little girl needed her father to pay attention to her positivvely and with love. "Maybe this is how he shows he loves her because he can't any other way without remembering other things." Shrugging and moving over to Zahara, pouring herself a drink as well. THough she did squint a little at the strength. "Dhairiss? I thought he was sick though? Is he not?"
"What book were you reading?" No really, what section of library had she wandered into. Granted that image was ten times more mild than some of the things he had seen in his life. Some personally. "No, I wouldn't call that dirty. More sensual maybe than dirty. What made you want to copy that one?"

"well that happens when you use new magic tricks sometimes, until you get used to it. is there anything else you've been trying in that book that makes you feel like that?"
before the smack on his head.
"hey I never said I wasn't grateful for her help, as annoying at times as it is."

"Bumbles doesn't get sick." Well that just wasn't fair. He used new magic tricks now too but he didn't set sick or icky feeling. But she took on a rather cute thinking look for a few seconds before clearly remembering something. "Oh! I can make things cold. I like to do it when my hands are cold, because then they get warm."
"Don't make me hit you again. Stop trying to have the last word. As the wife, I get the last word." She was having much fun invoking different verbal powers of hers today wasn't she?

"make things cold?"
that was a confusing thing...lifetaps could make cold bodies, but that didn't work on things without a life force, and he would assume she wasn't making people or such cold because someone would complain about that.
there were energy siphons, but as far as he knew that only applied to magical forces, and it didn't transfer heat. Though he let Piper have the last word he just rolled his eyes lightly.
"Can you show me how you make things cold?"

"Mhm." There was no simpler way to put it. For a moment she superfisically watched him before deciding it was okay to do. He was asking her to do it after all and thus he wouldn't yell at her about it. Other people tended to yell at her if they figured out it was her doing such things. Most people seemed not to notice. Then again most people easily weaved about her and didn't pay her much mind as they went about their day anyway. Thusly little hands laid themselves on one of her father's hand and thus ensused a good minute or two of what looked like intense staring before Malik's hand would grow cold as if a sudden shock caused the effect. Said cold feeling would slowly spread up to his wrist though without the initial jolt.

Glancing at his hand, only flinching some at the inital jolt...and then pulling his hand back some and flexing his fingers, getting the numbing feeling to start going away.
"you're a quick study. and this is something you've only done on people, right? doesn't work on say a wall or a chair, does it?"

Of course she beamed at praise, just as always. "And the animals." Shaking her head to the others things mentioned of course, wondering why he would think that. Those things weren't didn't tell her they could do that, and they certinally didn't make their own warm. "It's good for nighttime." Because she had a tad bit of trouble regulation her own body temperature and that was way better than a blanket cave.

Zahara was merely venting out her frustration and Fianna seemed to understand that so she didn't feel bad about saying these things. "Not if he's throwing over Dhairiss to do so. That's not fair to any of his children." Crossing her arms, she turned to face Fianna. "Our little mage used a lifetap on him and it made his heart act up. Instead of being slightly concerned about his son and taking his daughter's ability as a blessed warning, he's praising Savryn who is going to continue to use her power. Not that it matters since Dhairiss is now out of our way and Savvy's reach in Andal. Malik sent him back with Tyyrael."
"A strange one I found turned funny in the library." Shaking her head for a moment and then moving the sketchbook a little closer. She tapped her pencil against her lips and then pressed the charcoal to the paper. She hadn't sketched the couples' faces yet and it seemed almost natural that their features began to appear while she was talking. "There were a few other images in the book that made me wonder, but I think it's just because I've never quite seen anything like it before. I guess you have?"

"Just making sure it was what I thought it was. So you know how to lifetap. anything else?"
watching her carefully, and making notations in his head to let her teacher in these arts know what she already has learned how to do.

"Um...no?" Anything else she had tried just simply didn't work and for her, if it didn't work once she usually didn't try it again. It was just her nature and no one had ever seemed to care if she tried more than once at most things. A pat on the head and a treat and then no more word on it. "Can I keep my book?"
"Maybe it's just Savryn's turn. Though Dhairiss does need to get that wanderlust of his under control, you can practically smell it on him." Blinking however as apparently Tyyrael was already gone and with the boy as well. "Well...as I've seen there are plenty of mages around here to help make sure she doesn't get out of line. I have little help to offer, I know little to nothing about what direction she seems naturally inclined to."
"That library has everything." Really he swore it did but he merely watched her draw and create as they sat there together, letting her mind tell her fingeres what worked best on the page before her. "I have seen many things that are both good and bad. Some things I wish I could see again but know I can't and some things I wish I had never seen at all and could scrub them from my reveries."

"I could get behind and agree with that if it didn't look so damn suspicious. And maybe he really means it and he's finally gotten over his stupid misconceptions and memories and fears. It took me three years to get over mine so I suppose he was entitled to at least that long. And he's a man so he's naturally slower about things anyway. But the timing is just too perfect and we all know the way Malik operates." Fiddling with her glass for a moment before she began collecting dishes and cleaning the kitchen. Sometimes Sevilin's clean gene kicked in in her own mind and she just had to do it. "As long as someone teaches that girl. It's not good to have her doing what she's doing without supervision and training. She's powerful enough that the lifetap is a real concern. Moreso with Dhairiss running around but Kelligrin has the same heart problem."
"I saved it to show you if you wanted to see it." Reaching for the bag at her side where she'd stored her materials and pulling out a thin leather bound book that looked far older than anyone living in Twilight. She opened it gently and smoothed back some of the pages, flipping through them. "These first ones are the way we are with each other." Couples cuddling, kissing, holding hands and strolling, etc. "But then as the pages turn, they begin to become like this. Do you know why? I mean I like sitting on your lap sometimes too but that just seems uncomfortable." Tapping her fingers on the sketchpad.

"Yes you can keep your book, read and study all you want. the one that taught you and bumbles your new trick can teach you more tricks like what's in that book, would you like that?"
caressing her cheek lightly with his fingers.

Yay for keeping the book! That was the most she was hoping for out of this. Daddy wasn't angry with her for touching things and doing things and in fact he seemed quite happy about them. In fact he was offering up other books. "Very very much, yes please." Though in her little world of appeasement, no promise of a book or anything else could make her happier than that little brush against her cheek that actually got a little squeal of sorts out of her out of sheer joy. He never did that! She did know it was a good touch though. Learning things made daddy happy, obviously.
Piper shook her head lightly at that display from her daughter. But she supposed it was expected...she was always after his attention when she thought she could get it. "So then, is this the part where you reassure me that your people, and you, and khai know what you're doing and I graciously let you teach her?"
"By the time Malik reached a point where perhaps he could let go of what happened, things only resurfaced with Savryn's accident." Granted she wasn't excusing anything but Fianna liked to have answers and answers seemed to calm Zahara some as well. Save for the sudden cleaning thing. "From what I've heard, Kelligrin is mostly away isn't he? I'm sure a little warning would be enough for him."
And she was keeping hold of such things too. Leaning over some he looked over the pages as she turned them, making mental notes in his head. Well...firstly that was a rather private book she had found of someones'. Secondly, it was someone's sketching as the pages were clearly smudged as well as the little signatures on the pages. It was either very amusing and cute or unbearably frustrating that Kaelin was oblivious to the happenings of pages. "I think it's someone cataloging an experience with a lover maybe."

"Yes, this is the part where I tell you that betwen myself and malikhai and her soon to be if you let it new teacher she will be perfectly fine and it'll help her in the long run. and that you have my word nothing will go wrong and still have full authority to pull the plug if you feel otherwise."
looking over at his wife, before pressing a quick, gentle kiss on his daughter's forehead and putting her down, handing the book to her, giving her a little push toward her mother. hey she could get her mom's approval probably easier then he could right now.

Which of course that little girl siddled right up to her with affections and pleases and happy little persistant noises as she happily clutched her book to herself and the light ring of metal as she was bouncing on her toes. Malik was right on that aspect, how did you tell that no? "Fine fine. The boys got to have their fun, she might as well to." She was going to settle it that way personally. Besides, the girl wasn't stupid and she picked up fast. "Just...not a lot of dead things right off, okay? She touches everything." And that was just a gross thought.
