"That man doesn't let anybody escape." There was no way in hell that he would have let Eliot go without killing her somehow. Whcich meant that the hooded man new that if he met Eliot, he would elad her itno this palce, and he would have a chance at Roarke. It was understandable of course, why the hooded man would want him, but how did he not know about the breaking domed ceiling? Perhaps The Oracle had been able to stagger some of her information.
"The hooded man let you out. No doubt. Warren? He's the oen that dresses in red, right?"
"My cousin, Meilikki, the Oracle. Actually, he must have had her aroudn the same to he had you. You never saw her?" He sounded a tad hurt that she woudl leave Meilikki like that....

Blue watched everything, recorded every word, imprinted every action, every breath into his littel head. For some reason, he just had to know it all. remeber every last detail, right down to the black rubies, right down to the looks on the uncollared slaves. His head swivled this way and that, listening and watching.

Eliot told him that yes, Warren dressed in red.
She suddenly felt very ashamed, she had never thought to look for the Oracle. She couldn't belive that she had done a thing like that! she mentally hit herself across the head.
She had tears in her eyes, "I never saw her, didn't know who she was or that she was even there, all he said was 'Meilikki is mine now to' or something like that. He was attacking me with something undead at the time, I had no idea what he was going on about...oh gods Roarke! I am so sorry! I feel terrible! I shuold have made an effort!"
She hated herself for leaving someone in that kind of position when she knew she could have helped!

Good old easy to please and fool Broog. Ogres weren't the brightest creatures after all.
"Mes understands. Piper's wants da only collar."
He looked at teh words, didn't understand one, but he memorized the symbols and the order they went in. as far as jewelcraft, brog had a very good memory and quite adept.
"Where is Broog going ta get da black diamoonds, Miztress Piper?"
And of course, the slaves that were now free of the collar we indeed surprised. this was not the piper they knew. somethign definately had changed. Malik wasn't a silent attack dog anymore, and Piper was not a cruel, violent..well...b***h, for lack of a better term. But some slaves were eyeing piper with a less then thankful look. they wanted payback. though they wouldn't try anything with Broog or the other elf. they knew Broog alone coudl handle a dozen of them.
"Exactly. You don't like the Hunt like me and father. so perk up, live a little. Enjoy yourself. besides, I promised we'd go home and at least check in sometime, so it's not like you'll never see any of them again you know."
A smirk.
"Besides, you die on me, then I can't blame my bad habits on you when I do something stupid around Whirlwind."

Uh oh...tears. God no, not tears. He sat up a little hasitly,e arned a dzzy head for it. "Ih, not Eliot don't take it so hard on yuoreslf. You didn't know she was there. You say you were attacked, no one would think of a few things that odd man mentions." He put his hands on her shoulders. "It's all right okay? I'm pretty sure Meilikki is safe now. She must be, if he's here, someone has saved Meilikki. Really, it's all right, don't cry." There was genuine concern on his face.
And then he felt something ice spewing onto his back, and turnign around he was shocked to find that he didn't even here Alaran land.
Her eyes blazed. Why. Are. You. Naked. With. HER! Alaran swung her fanged head around, almost enveloped Eliot in them, before she received a powerful slap on her tempe, which dazed her eyesight.
"Behave yourself, Alaran. How many times have I told you, that Ton is in the grave. I am not his reincarnation."

He smiled a little bit. "Blame your bad habbits on me? I'm not the one who's gone all kitten on her." He elbowed Onyx. "When. And appropriate word. Because it's bound to happen."
He went into the dinning room, haveing gained a little bit of his appetite. "Besides, what could she see in a sooty litle Vah like you eh?" He smiled to show that he was just teasting, no ill intentions meant.

Eliots tears stopped before the began to flow over her eye lids, she nodded at his words.
She froze when she saw th elook on the dragon's face. It was not somethign that was pleasant to look upon. She didn't know that the dragon had spoken bu by the way Roarke acted, she seemed to be a rather jelouse dragon.
Unconsoulsy Eliot eyed Roarke's calves as he stood up. "Good endurance runner to," she said half to herself. Standings she dusted herself off. "Both of us need rest, you need to be healed," she said to Roarke, "You shoudln't even be standign on those feet in your condition." She hoped that was clue enough tu hurry Roarke onto the dragon so that they could get out of there.

"What's not to see? I'm charmingly handsome, my fur is shiny and silky, I'm an accomplished warrior, proven by taking second in teh tournament. I'd a damn fine catch if I say so myself. I mean look at me. I'm so gorgeous I should have been named Adonis."
Okay, teasing and poking back at Moonstone while they both grab sometihing to eat.
"I'm not the snow white of Laybrinth unlike another Vah I coudl mention. sleeping all the time like a big white housecat."
Malik was still watching Nightmare chasing around Serino. until she finally tired the Zephyr out. and about that time, Malik figured whatever she was going to snap at him for was going to get done, and walked back inside the fortress shaking his head. what had gotten into her.

"yes, mother." He said it with a smile though. He gave Alaran a reprimanding glare fore he got on, and it was a little unpleasant without pants, but he didn't complain. What was he gonna dow about it?
He pulled Eliot of behind him liek before, and gave Alaran a kcikc to get her off the ground. Itw as a long ride, like last time, and after ablout five minutes, Roarke had fallen asleep on Alaran's neck, trusting to teh fact that she wouldn't try one of her spontanious spins.

Another pat to his head. Well this was downright easy once you had the hang of it. Malik would be amused, she was sure of it. But he wasn't around, and father was playing look out for her. "I can get them for you." A look to Kieran now. "You have some, don't you father?"
Kieran clasped his hands behind his back lightly and smiled. "Yes indeed I can. Don't know if I have any on me right now, but I can check my stuff. And if not I can get Nerian to go fetch some. I need him to take a letter to your mother anyway." A nod. "In fact I'll get on that right now. Get that letter done, send Nerian off with it and your request and catch a reverie all in between." A hand placed to his daughter's shoulder. "Remember, chin up." Then a look up to Blue. "You coming with me or you going to explore?"
There, see, settled. That was a good thing about having a father who was not only royalty but held sway over almost all the mining projects in the entire plane. But a look over to the slaves. Children...they seemed happy as ever, as children often were. Adults...well she wasn't ignorant to looks either. But just because she took off collars meant nothing...as she told Malik, punish the individuals, not the flock...if she needed to make examples with her fifty then she would.

Eliot herself was haveing a hard time keeping herself awake. She was so tired, her body was twitching from the pain she had endured and from the lack of sleep. How could Roarke go through that liek ti was nothing?
She didn't get to much further when she suddenly pitched forward and fell asleep against Roarke's back, the last thought to go through her mind was that Roarke had a lingering smell from the Hooded man.

"Silky and shiney? When did you ever get concerned with your loks. And come on, you have a snout like a russion blue." He grabbe da hunk of bread, bit off a piece. "If I was a woman and I caught you, I'd throw you back."
"Face it. You look like a chimmeny threw up."
He raised his chin. "I'm cute and cuddley. Women don't liek cats that scratch them up." Atleast, he was prety certain they wouldn't like that.
"I'll come with you, Kieran. I am rather enjoying your head. PLus," he smiled, "I don't do so well by myself." A look around for the imps.

A chuckle. "Very well then." And he walked away, spying Malik and called back to Piper. "Pack up your plan Pip, the surprisee aproaches!" A nod to Malik before Kieran headed up to his room...to take to journals and the like. After all, he had Blue, Morelle, and Rand to write down and sketch out.

A little indignant.
"I've always made sure my fur is shiney and silky. I like to look good when I'm beating someone within an inch of thier life or sweet talking the ladies. and I don't have a snout like a russian blue."
Touching his muzzle with his hand just checking.
"Cute and cuddly? who would want to cuddle with that rough fur of yours? your fur is like a cactus. and you snore too. on top of that, your fur is puffy like a himalayan."
A bit of a snort and a grin, eating a bit of roast.
Malik came to teh Arena, giving a curious look and a nod to Kieran about what he yelled to Piper, before approachign here.
"So..they are all collarless? and how do you propose to control them?"
A look at teh ones gathered, a narrowing of eyes at the potential troublemakers, and then a glance at Piper.
"I dunno what's got into nightmare. she was chasing serino around trying to get him to submit to something."

Pack up her plan indeed, a motioning for Broog to be hush hush about it before Malik joined them. "A'mael you have to show the leash is slacked before you threaten to pull it again. You said you would let me do this my way, so let me, stop questioning it." A slight commanding tone to her voice really. For some reason she felt the need for her own type of control over something or other. Which was an odd feeling. Though slaves and Broog temporarily forgotten to the elf. "Probably something along the lines of 'stop staring at the mare with wings or I will stomp you into the dirt, respect my authority' type thing..." Looked like she wanted to laugh at that, but of course she didn't. So he got a smile only. "Any idea when you're leaving on this trip?"Casual conversation...adn casual thing of late had been this trip and her in a dress.
