Roarke gave a hopeless shake of his head. "Most people don't know a whole lot aobut the soul and body. They can live aparat from each other. But what would they have need of souls for? It doesn't make any sense!" He looked at her. "You saty ehre and keep listening, I am going to go deeper in and see what I can do." Be rubbed his forehead against hers a moment. "Be strong, wolf-kin. As long as you stay a wolf, they can't sense you." With that he bounded out the door and eeper into the complex, leaving Eliot to continue to listen to what the hooded man had to say.
Five slaves were herded in for inspection, and the hooded man went over each. One a woman, a man, an older man, an older woman, and a female child. He touched them in inappropriate places, he scratched them, he yelled at them and poked at them. They not once complained, they not once cringed. "Excelent, oh yes. Perfect pefect. And they will respond?"
"Oh yes, they will. It's been tested on each new arrivle, sir. They all respond perfectly."
"Good, good. Have the first shipment sent out tomorrow. We cannot fall behind schedual."
"Yes, sir!"

He blushed and coughed a bit. "ah...yes...well..." What could he say? They all seemed to be pressing home that he was a mini-angel, although it sounded so far from the truth.
"Do you want me to stay here or come along? I could be usefull, i'm sure, and perhaps return my dept for your hospitality.

"I'm behaving. if you want to see Piper and Malik mom I think they are downstairs. And Bode might still be running aroudn here somewhere...in this plane..you and simon...though you were called rachel..had a daughter instead of twin boys. and you..you died. well..actually..from what we've put together, Piper was a cold hearted b***h, adn malik was like her..attack dog."
A glance at Moon..after all, if she ran into bode or simon..she'd have to be prepared for how they might act.
"they came after you adn bode in teh night. simon was out hunting, and you were killed, adn bode was taken. that's before the malik and piper we know got here and kinda of...took thier place. just in case you run into one of them, so you know what to expect."
Then another look at Moon.
"Come on. I coudl get a woman drunk enough to sleep with you. or pay her enough. Elias woudl help with that."
A chuckle before he remembered mom was there.
"Oh um..sorry mom."
A glance at Blue.
"Probably a good idea. if nothign else perhaps they know who and what you are. and if you are a friend to someone there, or a familiar...we can return you to them. So Kieran since your going, I suggest you get a new journal, I bet you filled up at least a few since being here. and if you decide to come piper, you want to wear your new outfit? or maybe your dress? I can have them work aroudn teh clock to make sure it is done in time. and you bandana of course."

A tug at her collar as her eyes flitted to Malik. "You sure wnat to see me in a dress, don't you?" Something for her to pick at so she could be distracted from darker thoughts. Though a little slightly puzzled look...she kept forgetting that she didn't have her bandanna on. Though she knew Malik kept it in his pocket. Another one of those unsure looks. "I just don't want to be a hindrance to you if I go...adn right now...well you know I'm not quite right.
Kieran only nodded in the way Kieran usually did. "Three to be precise." Indeed, he could fill those things up quick couldn't he? And he always seemed to have more too. "Well, go or not Piper it's entirely up to you." Right, no pressing the issue, no matter how much he would like to see his daughter get up the courage to leave the place for a bit.

Rand blinked hit by a birage of information. "A daughter?" Rand had several children at home, but surprisingly, only one had been female, and she had long since insisted on leaving the den. She had grown quickly, and her childhood was much to short for Rand. "I would like to see this Bode...but if I were killed, wouldn't I be a shock for her?" And how would this Simon man react? "Perhaps it would be something of a comfort if I met him as well...but then it might just be a devistating blow..."
Moonstone eblowed his brother in the gut, giving him a rather nasty look. "Onyx, be civil!" But of cours, the blushs tayed there, he couldn't help it. They all knew he wasn't good with women.
Rand raised an eyebrow. "Just watch it, mister." And with that she turned and headed for the dinning room, whith Morelle leading the way of course, since he knew where it was. Rand walked it, smiled when she saw Malik, Piper, and two people she didn't know.
"Hello." And a wave.
"Oh! That is a good idea! There are lots of wizards there! And A very large lybrary. I could have some fun with the books, if nothing else." He smiled happily. Things started to look up a bit, not so messy. "It would be nice to get a bit of memorey back."

Malik looked up, and saw, of all people, Rand the Raven.
"What in the world are you doign here? How did you ever get here, for that matter?"
And a glance to Piper.
"The oracle is going to be really peeved now."

She was busy being half in shock. Rand. Of all people, Rand...in Labyrinth...then Malik's comment set in. Well...yes the oracle could blame this on her too couldn't she? Because she knew the twins and also Rand...Piper hoped she wasn't going to get fussed out when next she saw this woman. But wait...Rand was suppposed to be Rachel...adn Rachel was dead...therfore, Rand and her soul wouldn't be displacing anything....did that work in her favor at all? But Piper shook her head lightly to break her things, giving a smile to Rand as best she could. "Finally come to collect your kits Randy?" A little nod to her. "It's good too see you again...been a long time."

She blinked. "Peeved? Did I do something wrong?" A bit of a confused look to the two. But she smiled just the same, even though the two seemed a tad hostile. "Good to see you as well, Malik. I had thought after so long you may have something kinder to say then simply what I am doing here."
"I won't be staying long, just checking up on my kits. And no, I'm not taking them home. They have decided to stay here for the time being."
She sighed. "It has been a long time, hasn't it? You haven't visited us since last we spoke. Cymarron has wondered about you."
"Congradulations, by the way."

A small chuckle.
"Nothing you did wrong. there's an Oracle here, who seems to dislike planar travel. scared to upset some kind of balance or what not. have a seat, get soemthign to eat. Kieran, this is Rand the Raven. Onyx and Moonstone's mother. Rand..this is Kieran..Piper's father...and this..is blue. we don't know his actual name and niether does he."
A gesture to the fairy thing.
"Cymarron wondering about us, eh? what, he's afriad I've finally broken piper down with my collaring and she's miserable now?"
A little bit of bitterness. no matter how many years..the fact Cymarron butchered his family, and nearly him...still had it's affect.

Uh oh, sudden feeling of guilt coming on...pile that on top of the guilt she was feeling earlier and if made it all the mroe wore. "I..." A look down at her hands on the table. Awkward. "Um, thank you...and I'm sorry I haven't been back. Wanderlust just kind of...makes you keep going farther..." Though a little look at Malik on his mentioning of Cymarron's old fears of what the dark elf may of done to her. The whole phrase didn't sit right on her, more so with recent events. It was easy to see Piper wasn't exactly as peppy as before.
Kieran looked from Blue again and over to Rand, giving the woman a smile and a polite nod, then a chuckle. "Seems children like to run off to this place, doesn't it, Miss Rand?" After all, he came to check on his daughter, she came to check on her sons. "But indeed, Kieran Silvercrest, Piper's father, and I must say it's a pleasure to meet the mother of such creatures like Onyx and Moonstone." Ah, like any other elf indeed he was.

"I see. Well, I won't be here long, as I said. Unless I have a chance to meet this Simon and Bode." She nodded to Blue, to Kieran. "Good day, sirs."
But she merely chuckled. "No. CYmarron promissed to trust Piper, and he holds to it. He simply wonders how you are both fairing. He will be happy to hear you well." She frowned, it was quite appernet that Piper was not her old self. "We understand that you have been busy Piper, we haf expected it." She shrugged. "Plus, we both have long lives, in comparison it has not relaly been that long." She took a seat next to Kieran, happy for the kind company. It had been a long time since she relaxed.
"yes, my children where ever running further from the nest. I suppose this is as far as they will ever get." She smiled, he tail waving. "Where you expecting a female Vah?" She chuckled. "No, just a conduit." Morelle chittered on her shoulder. "And it is nice to meet some of Piper's family. I had wondered what you looked like."
"Hello, miss Rand the Raven. indeed I do not know who i am! Sorry about that."
She laughed. "That is quite all right."

Although, Malik got a nasty idea about sending Kaden to meet Cymarron. Or asking Cymarron to come to visit for the same purpose. Wouldn't that be a treat. of course Kaden had been skin alive about seven times now. And Terran..he was long since broken. But he wasn't interested in making Terran a slave. just causing him pain for the rest of his existance until he saw fit to end it.
"We've been doing alright. I've had to save Piper more than afew times in teh underfoot, and Neriak. Cymarron will understand that. And you can tell him at least Onyx is a fine warrior. held his own even agasint me. he's fast and strong. Moonstone..well, he didn't do much in the tournament, I can't give a real gauge on him."
A small smirk.
"and tell him to send us some more feathers. I beleive Piper coudl use some more of her favorite arrows."
Not to mention the fletching might help her get over recent events.

She chuckled. "A relationship isn't complete until you've saved your mate a dozen tims over."
"I will certainly tell him, and he will be proud. Although he knows about Monstone. Never really big on violenve." She frowned a bit. Except perhaps what had happened recently, by Onyx's words. But she laughed still, "I will certainly ask him to send some feathers. He will enjoy that, I think." A look to Piper."Cymarron wil take joy in sending you a gift. He's always been like that."

Kieran chuckled slightly, getting that thoughtful look. "My dear Lady Rand, in the long time I've lived, I've learned to never expect anything about anything. In the end, that's better than being right anyway." One of those nods of his, a smile given to the conduit. "Well, she takes after me in looks as opposed to her mother, but nothing too grand, just an elf." Gold flicked in his eyes slightly, reflecting his good mood of the moment. Of course he had to be inquisitive and a point to Morelle. "So who's your little fella there?"
"You have your point, our lives are far longer than what are normal standard of most other creatures." A half hearted smile to Malik that go passed on to Rand at the mentioning of those golden colored feathers. Out of her original ones she made way back when, she only had two left. The rest of the twenty year period were either broken, or forced to be left behind after so gods forsaken defense of themselves. Would indeed be nice to have new ones. A little nod to Rand with a small could almost be considered shying smile. "Well don't let him rip any out, only already loose or fallen ones. Thank you."

Rand picked Morelle off her shoulder, placed him on the table. He gave a her a "what, am I on display?" type look. She smiled back. "This is Morelle. He keeps my demonic energies at bay, so that I might focus my attention elsewhere. He's become quite good an manipulating ,my powers to, for small things. like teleporting himself. That's how he was able to get here to look for my sons." Morelle, seeing as how he was getting some attention, tookk to chittering at Kieren. Basicly, he as begging for food.
She smiled. "He always thinks he can be cute and weasily out some food from new people." Then a look over to Piper. "He's been savinf the better ones. We have a whoel pile to get rid of." She chuckled. "Don't worry, he hasn't ripped any out."
