"But we both know I can get over pollen with enough exposure and the proper medical supplies. and yes you can appreciate your own food more. you have no idea how much I savored having some good cooked meals after some of your daughter's 'lets go on a ramble and eat travel food for the next week' itches."
giving a grin to piper.
"not that I minded going out."

"Getting over pollen without all your fancy things. Just breathe in, breathe out, adapting." To which she rolled her eyes lightly but was smiling despite all the teasing at the table. This was how things worked in this family and she really wouldn't have it any other way. "You should be pleased she can cook in such a manner. When you have to make a meal out of anything, at least someone has the knowledge to make it somewhat appealing in taste."
"No, you just complain about the dirt, and the food, and the bedding, and then the dirt again." She did so love to mess with him about it. He was not a camping creature but he made exceptions to his habits to please her when she did get that so called itch. "You think I could depend on the man to catch, gut, and cook a fish but no. He is pretty good at catching those little scurrying lizards though. Careful, I've been getting that camping itch and if you talk about it too much you're going to wake up one morning in the middle of nowhere in the dirt."

"Point taken I'll be quiet about it. and hey I can catch the fish too. it's just the lizards are more common and easier to get. But nice try on the subject change. come on Fianna, eat up."
before leaning back some and just looking to feel out his daughter...wondering what exactly she was up to.

"Only quiet because you don't want to wake up in the dirt, probably naked, with something other than me licking at you. But yes, I enjoy making you catch lizards. It amuses me. Though now that we're talking about it the camping thing is getting more and more considered. Haven't been in a while." Though she couldn't help a chuckle before continuing at her food. It was honestly good, she'd gotten used to it.
"I wasn't trying to change the subject. Merely explore another aspect of it. We were both complaining and complimenting food things." Though yes she was eating a bit more steadily now as Kieran had been more or less picking and choosing for her things that she would like for taste instead of look.
Said child was still studying the rather very angry slithery creature she had in the jar, one hand brushing away the undead draithix with her. He had already gnawed on it once and he probably wanted to eat it but she didn't want him to. It wasn't dead, but at the very least wounded and probably well on its way to such a state. She tapped the jar, watching it hiss and strike at the glass. There was a very specific reason she was interested but she wasn't sure how to put it all to use. Hm...maybe she could use the sand downstairs?

"I wake up in the dirt naked and something besides you or one of our children is touching me, whatever it is will be deepfried and served to your mother when I wake up, and then I'll deal with you since you probably put it on me or will be too busy laughing hysterically to stop me."
a smirk over at his wife, and a glance toward the upstairs. something we dying, and dying slowly and was not happy about it. Guess his daughter was working on a new acquisition.

"You're probably right. I would be mean enough to do that and then laugh about it. Though you'd have to catch me and stop me from chopping off my hair in retaliation to keep you at bay. But isn't that the fun part of it all?"
"That was both a mental image and assumed taste I don't think I wanted to even cross my mind. How I put up with the both of you I'll never know."
She was pretty sure that snakes, or snake like things, were not allowed free to roam the house. That wouldn't make people happy at all. But she couldn't go outside either. Yes, downstairs seemed like the best place. And while not allowed down there alone either...well, there had to be someone down there. Thus getting herself up she made her way down from the upstairs slowly and quietly as possible, draithix in tow, and then further down to the arena where she plopped on her knees in the sand and unscrewed the jar.

A grin at Fianna.
"Not that begs the question which was the worse of the two? the image or the possible taste?"
Before turning his attention to his oldest, and his wife.
"And how has married life been treating the both of you so far?"

"I don't think I want to know the answer, personally. The thoughts are quite enough for me thank you very much."
Attention brought to them once more they seemed to exchange an amused look between one another before she went back to eating and he merely chuckled lightly. "Alright. Still accomodating to sharing space and what not. She kicks in reverie sometimes." Which made Kaelin blush and Khai give a noise as she none too discreetly kicked him under the table. "And when she's awake too." Giving a shrug. "But you know, still planning things out."

Malik nodded lightly.
"How long before your own home is complete? and Does Zykariel know that if he has business with you that you won't be here for much longer? the last thing I need is him in a half drunken state coming and looking for you. Especially nowadays when he tends to show up with..'company'. While I do enjoy his exploits on the track, as they do also reflect good on us, his social skills leave much to be desired in the areas of modesty and discretion."

"Zykariel and I have decided to do business elsewhere in a neutral location. It works out better for everyone that way so no worries about that. Not that you wouldn't just throw him out. As for our own place...we're still planning. It's slow going. Kind of a only want to do it once and do it right deal. Besides...earthquakes aren't exactly construction friendly."

"True. but you have been getting your basic plans and layout together which is a good start. So that when these quakes are over and done then you'll be ready to go."

"That's the beauty of it. I've always been a planner anyway. Gives me something to do when I'm not otherwise occupied or goofing off. And just think, I'll finally be out of your hair everyday. Ah am I going to miss tormenting the parents."
"I'm sure we're going to miss tormenting you too." Though that boy wouldn't be going far and he'd be around just as much. Just watch.
Downstairs one little elf was watching intently. Having tipped over the jar and avoiding a snake bite thanks to Bumbles, the creature had quickly burrowed into the loose sand of the arena floor, seeking to get away. This is what she was watching. It was wounded and she could read it...and even with it being under the ground she could still follow the thin trail of readable energy it was making as it slithered about, looking to either get deeper or find a way out. Didn't stop Bumbles from trying to dig it out of the same from time to time however. Though she kept casting worrisome superficial looks over her shoulder....she knew she wasn't supposed to be doing this alone, or be down here alone and getting caught could be bad. But she found her intrigue often overriding her learned passive nature.

"You won't. I know you better then that you'll be here. if for nothing else then you'll be looking for advice on things. Not to mention you technically still work for me as well, so I can call you in whenever I want."
a slight smirk and a twitch of his ear.
"speaking of working for me. go down to the arena and tell me what you find."

"Advice and food. I'm guessing mostly food." Chiming in yet again.
He blinked down the table at his father. "We're in the middle of dinner and you're telling me to go downstairs. And from what you're saying you already know what's down there..." His father did enjoy setting him up sometimes, he swore. "If you didn't have a part in giving me life, your scheming would drive me to quit some days I think."
But he got up and headed off and downstairs. He swore if one dead thing popped out on him he was not going to be responsible for his response. However in the arena all he found was a draithix playing in the sand and a little elf sitting in it. Which made him frown. "What are you doing down here alone? You know better."
So entranced and concentrating she failed to watch her own back after a while. A flaw in training and discipline most would see it as but she was still a child and still easily captured by wonder. Which meant she jumped at his voice and scrambled up, turning to him. "I was...after Bumbles." Lying? Savryn didn't lie. However for some reason...
"Bumbles is fine on his own. Nothing can hurt him down here. However there is plenty down here that can hurt you. Which is exactly why you're not allowed down here alone." What the hell was this? His father passing on fathering duties? Wasn't he just complaining how Dhairiss had been doing that too much? Giving a noise he moved over to his sister, taking her by the hand and tugging her to follow him.
To which she threw a noise and a look over her shoulder, slightly alarmed. But it was still crawling around in there! She tugged a little in counterweight against her brother but of course being small, he was winning that battle."But, but Bumbl-" Not that it was about Bumbles really.
"No. You know the rules. You chose to break them. You don't play down here." Still having her by the wrist and leading her upstairs then. Highly annoyed now. They gave the girl and inch and she was going to go a mile. Though he elected to lead/drag her into the kitchen, make her wash her hands because who knew where those had been, and then brought her back to the table. "Sit and finish your dinner." The little elf plopping down dejectedly and he returned to his own plate.
Plop and a cross being an upset look and a frown as she sat in her seat. Though she did look up slightly as her mother reached over to pet through her hair in soothing fashion as she usually did when the little elf was showing signs of distress. It was down there and who knew it if could get loose in the house. Or if Bumbles didn't get it. Or worse, he got it and ate it.

Malik crossed his hands and looked at his daughter...then at his oldest.
"So what was she playing with that wasn't entirely dead yet?"
the reason of course for sending his son was she knew his presence, and she would have hidden or diverted her project before he even got a chance to find out. she was quick and sneaky that way...Malikhai she was more relaxed with.
