Sevilin gave a skeptical noise. "And if Telisha doesn't get it, someone else will go after it, and so on and so forth. Let them kill each other off and let Requias have a hand in it if it wants. It's all going to come down to numbers and frankly if someone sat down long enough to do that math, they would know that Requias has the advantage. Especially if Vrist starts ripping into itself with civil war. I wouldn't mind planting that seed of doubt just to watch the results and laugh."

"You overestimate Requias. It's not about numbers. It's about power. and Damios has the power. runemagery, and my personal favorite, fear. Requias can have all the number advantage it wants. Fear will cripple them harder then anything else."
Taking a walk and glancing at Kieran.
"Other kingdoms are also gathering forces. Tensions are high. the old does not give way to the new easily. If I was in Mahlari's place, knowing that my offspring might not be strong enough to hold the empire against my sister, I would look to strike out. unite under a ommon banner...something all my people would gather under. even my rivals. then probably arrange for my rivals to disappear in the comflict."
a slight grin.
"Requias will get hit hard, and hit fast if it happens. there was a human, in aura's realm that employed such a tactic and it worked surprisingly well. you catch your enemy if not entirely off guard, underprepared. you steamroll over them while they scramble."
Glancing back at piper.
"Khavier knows quite well, even a certain Raindrop knows, the ways of requias. thier nomadic lifestyle isn't going to protect them, and they're too scattered. thier fear of being raided or hunted like animals works against them."
Aslight grin.
"One reason that one of my little workarounds to the brigade master's decree I'd like to have stationed in Requias..preferably at a point where a massive assault from damios would come calling."

"And you underestimate the force of an attack that Vrist can make." After all, who would know better than Sevilin on the inner workings of that place? "They get enough rune mages to back them, or the Brigade backs them and Daimos has nothing to stand on. Their own rune mages are infants in the craft compared to the rest of the plane." He shifted his weight to one side then, crossing his arms lightly.
"The only way Daimos could win a war was if they could disable every rune mage on the plane or draw a war of any sorts onto thier own land or into Vrist itself. Daimos' terrain is unforgiving even to an elf, and in the Depths most surface born elves won't stand a chance. Either claustraphobia or traps will get them but a few steps in."
To him though it sounded like Malik was trying to stick his foot into the closing doors of war. "Besides, what common banner could Daimos ever strike with others that would actually trust them enough to go into war as allies with them?"
Giving a little snicker snort and then nodding towards Kieran. "They strike Requias directly and the cities in Lucana proper are forced to retaliate to protect themselves and their land." Tilting his head. "And how or what are you going to do to convince that b*****d Brigade Master to let you set up what can clearly be seen as a tactical base? You may not even be that good of a liar."

"They'd do it like a flashfire. quick, hard, leave a bleeding scar and then back into thier hole to wait for the calvary to come calling. and I think, judging from Khavier, that culling the wayward would be a perfectly uniting cause."
Not making any mention about neutralizing rune maes though.
"But it's not about a war. and come to think of it, it would be interesting to se if I could lie that well, wouldn't it? this plane is shifting in strange and unusual ways. you know it and I do. without a source, we may be forced to leave. and if I leave, I'm taking my home with me. which means Requias. but that also means that I'd have to jump far too many hurdles and getting that close to Vrist I would perfer to surprise Mahlari rather then jumping hurdles and giving her warning."

"They wouldn't do that. Those scars are given before they even get out. Very few on Requias get away without one. If they were going to strike Requias they would be doing it to kill off a possible threat should they ever get it in their heads to retaliate. I don't see why you're banking so heavily on Khaiver...granted yes he's a right fine example of the worst we can be but he's not stupid."
Shaking his head lightly. "So you're planing on jumping to Andal if this plane slips any further and inserting yourself into Requias? With only water separating you and Mahlari, I can only imagine the ruckus you'd cause."

"hey I can be a good boy. Piper can curb me most the time. but I'd perfer to stay here."
glancing at his daughter.
"is there one of those trainings you'd like to try now or would everyone prefer to do something else or have work to do?"

"Yeah but when she curbs you, you tend to get cranky towards everyone else because you can't go outside and play rough games with the other children. It is fun to watch you try to make her not mad at you though." Picking at Malik because he'd earned that right to anyway by now. Besides, wasn't it wasn't dished back at him.
She had been busy playing with her mother's things as well as her own. Her clothes, her gloves, her ring, just messing with them. It was what she did to occupy herself and familiarize more. But her ears twitched and she turned a look up a little and to her father's general direction. "Can we go outside? I'm not tired. I wanna look at something." Saying it just to make sure they knew that she was okay to do something. She was however still a child and her mind wandered back to simple things...and of course things she noticed with her developing powers.

That got a smirk at Sevilin..and a look to Kieran.
"I suppose we could. Fianna still outside or is she hiding somewhere plotting a runic revenge on me?"
But looking at his daughter and his wife, before heading toward the door.
"want to offer to see if Kaelin and Malikhai want to go? if they haven't already snuck out there?"

"Runic revenge? I suppose she entertains the idea though is annoyed with the fact that everytime she tries to do something, Sevilin comes along behind her and ruins it or disspells it."
"I like to make her angry. It annoys both of you, which will suffice for not punching you in the face for a bit longer." Shrugging at that with a smirk. Yup, he did that. Rune mages picked at each other, it was the way of things. She did it too.
"No!" Attitude entering her voice then as well as her little defiant look. "Just me." Usually she didn't demand attention but apparently she was going to do so now. But moving over to daddy, or more properly stated bumping into him, she tugged on his pant leg and lowered her voice, trying to whisper but not doign so since daddy was tall. "I wanna show you somethin'."

That got a look at his wife...and a glance down at his daughter. that was certianly unusual. Savy didn't yell and didn't hog attention.
"Alright...just you. are there any restrictions to who goes with you besides you wanting me to go?"

Piper merely shrugged at the behavior. After all...she was a little used to it from when Savvy was younger and much clingier to her. But the yelling was a little off balance, she would admit that.
Khai was off somewhere, Dhair was away, and that left her to be the sole source of attention. She wasn't stupid either, she had seen an advantage and was going to take it. Less compeition around, even if her brothers were decades or more older than her. "No, they can come." They being other people in the room, "But just me." Being no brothers allowed. "And Bumbles." Okay him too. But another tug at pants again.

"Alright then, lead the way then."
Gesturing for her to go on ahead, and shrugging at his wife before following, wondering what his daughter might be up to, and why she didn't want her brothers around for it. usually she didn't mind thier company.

Khai and Kae? Well, they were in the solarium. Kae had been spending quite a bit of time there lately. Something about the pseudo sun and plants and flowers and such called to her artist's soul and she'd always felt out of place in the Underdark anyway. Andal had opened her eyes to a magical world that she missed.
And that was why she was sitting, cross-legged on the ground, crushing berries and leaves and even flowers into a bowl. Piper had so many pretty flowers which just made her possibilities for color expand so much more. She gazed over at her husband who appeared to be in light reverie and smirked. He probably didn't want to do that when she was mixing paint.
And it was such a pretty purple color, too. Dipping her finger in the fresh mixture, she crawled over to him and brushed her thumb over the apples of his cheeks as she kissed him gently to keep him from being too startled. "You're blushing, Khai."

Yay! He'd probably be happy with what she found. While the other necromancers were preoccupied in the basement, she was busy expanding her own horizons and exploring what she could outside the walls of her home. Which is what was leading her to most of her discoverings and new pets, but the newest one she didn't understand and needed a little help with this one. So she took her mother by one hand and her father by another, leading them along and letting them help her as well when it came to rocks. "We need horsies."
He blinked a few times to orient himself as he was woken from his slight reverie and blinked as she was saying he was blushing, but he didn't feel like it. "Really? Maybe I'm overheating." He, like his father, could handle light and the sun fairly well but he was happier to play in the dark on most occassions. Looking to what she had done in the meantime. "You know you can just ask if you need more of those."

"We need horses? How did you manage to get far enough to need horses? or did Ramoth indulge you?"
Dhariss had taught his father earlier in his toddling years that Ramoth coudl carry a kid and insta teleport with them in her teeth. One of the things that had his mother nad father both in a panic on a couple occasions.
"So any hint as to what we're going to go see?"
