Her fingers twitched lightly against his cheek of their own volition, and her eyes had that glassy look of held back tears. She refused to cry in front of Malik, let alone it being over Kaden Ravenwing, curse the name a thousand times. "Even in the Underdark?" Perhaps it was said in seeking of more reassurance. Her free hand took purchase on her collar again, gripping tightly there...probably would of bent the metal, had it been not made as it was. But she let him hold her gaze, even as she wanted to look away, feeling that intense existence of a bond between them, knowing it was so wrong that she kept him at arms length but couldn't help it really. "I'm afraid of me...I'm afraid of us...I'm just...afraid of...everything..." Which was quite the powerful admission from her, seeing as she before was afraid of nothing. What she would give, to not feel like this anymore...what she would do to know the answer to make it all better and things go back to normal.

"Even in the Underdark, there is a dawn. you might be able to see it like the surface, but it's there all the same. adn it's alright to be afriad. Fear isn't a bad thing. it makes you cautious, in gives you a healthy respect for things. but you can't let it control you."
A small grin.
"You're with a follower of Innoruuk. It'll look bad on me if you choose to be a puppet to Cazic Thule."
He leaned over, and gave her a snall kiss, barely more than his lips brushing hers.
"You are my beloved, Piper, and I'll do what it takes, no matter what that is, to get you back to your old self. even if all I can do is wait."
"Stronger than me, but I'm faster. it's not always the biggest and the strongest that wins. And I can walk around in teh daytime, same as you. covered in cloaks and such, I can hide as easy as you. just a little more preperation during the day. but night, that's my time. You can't even claim that much."
A little indignant snort.

Moonstone gave a pointed look around the room, to the dark out the window. "Fine, you can have the dark." He wasn't about the argue that point. The absence of the sun was one reason why Moonstone had been in such a state. Funny how he didn't mcuh care for his namesake. "Gimmie the day anytime."
"I'm stronger, and that ticks you off. Just like Father's being stronger." Gulped down a bit of fruit, just for variety.

His words, could of seemed like a lie to an outsider. This was the man who liked to rule with fear as his tool, who liked to control with it. One who wanted to see fear on the faces of those around him and know he was what they feared. But that wasn't how he thought of Piper. Her fear...he made it seem reasonable, and he took away the control aspect. Though he did manage a smile from her. "You can add that to your list of things he wants to smote us both over." A slight touch on a familiar comfortable joke. Though she did let him kiss her...though one foot had stepped back, trying to draw her away. Damn flee response was in high gear and wouldn't shut off. "Waiting is even harder..." Patience was a gift elves were blessed with in large amounts though. They could literally wait forever. She really was trying though...otherwise she'd probably be ten feet away from him right now. "I'm sorry Malik, for everything." Yeah, she just had to say it one more time to make herself feel better in some way.

"Nothing for you to be sorry for. and I can wait...well...unless Innoruuk decides to smite us."
A small smile, happy that she didn't flinch or run.
"Those two are regretting ever even hearing your name ever uttered, I can assure you. all that you went through they are getting paid for my way."
Onyx snorted lightly again.
"You being stronger just annoys me. you're not that much stronger than me. Father's strength...that ticks me off. I'm a full grown healthy Vah and he can probably throw me around like a ragdoll with his damn tail."
A few peices of bread, and a couple peaches and one banana gone.

What was this, an eating conetest? Moonstone downed an appled, a few pieces of bacon, and an egg. Albeit cooked.
"Come on. Admit it. I'm much stronger than you are. Physical training. I did alot then just sit around when you went huntng with Father. Boxing, long distance running, swimming, yoga."
He started to dig into a boar, plucking out an eyeball and swallowing it whole. "Full grown? You still a child." He tapped his forehead, smirking.

"I'm regretting ever hearing their names...and not trusting my instincts. I don't trust elves...not even a little...and what did I go and do? Had to trust them both..." Yes she was even a little bitter at herself for it all, and of course despite what anyone said, seh would still say it was all her fault. A slight aversion of her eyes before she looked back to him, a little cold really. "Well...make sure you give Ravenwing a nice dose of mental anguish while you're at it." Was that the sound of wanting revenge in her voice? Slightly, but it was there, but only for a second it seemed. What could she say? Sure, Kaden physically hurt her, but it was his words on her mind and thoughts in her head that broke her.

A small, malicious smile.
"Kaden is learning what anguish really is. perhaps you'd like to see what is happening to him?"
his hands moved behind his back lightly, waiting to see if she wanted to see just how vicious her fiance coudl really be to someone.
Onyx grabbed a drumstick, and then a few crablegs and half df somethign that looked like a fish with legs.
"You are not. so you did that, big deal. and you want to talk about endurance running? you try chasing down a gazelle. or face a grizzly with just your claws. I coudl tell you stories about defending kills, or facing larger animals becuase dad wanted thier fat or bones or somethign for the Den."

The first look he got was perhaps once of horror that then settled out to troubled decision makign in her head. Did she want to see Kaden? Want to see what Malik was putting him through and know that he was suffering more than even she had at his hands? More importantly...would that make her feel any better? Perhaps give her a little bit of a push back to being normal. A look at the floor, a grip at her collar...then a nod of her head. "I need to see Kaden..."

"Pff," he waved a hand, which clutched a bone of some sort, though he couldn't remeber how it had come to be meatless. "Killing something doesn't make you a Vah." A smirk. "And no one said I haven't chased down a gazzel, or a deer, or a spring buck. I just didn't kill it." He wasn't going to say anything about bears. He'd never even seen one.
A rump roast, keish, and pot pie soon followed. "Plus, it's not like you can touch your head to the back of your toes."

"Why in the world woudl you want to touch your head to teh back of your toes? OR do I even want to know? and even so, your flexible, big deal. I can handle more than you. I can take a hit and deliver one right back. even from Dad."
The rest of the fish thing, one pumpkin pie, one cherry pie, and half a cantalope.
"Not to mention for the gazelle dad was timing me. you tried to run down and then outclimb a gazelle? them little bastards are built for jumping from cliff to cliff with no more space than this."
Holding up the fishthing's skull.
Malik nodded, and gestured for her to follow him, and led her to teh room Kaden was in. and there he was screaming again. what a nice sound to Malik. Of course upon entry, she got to see what was happening.
One one end was teh wrom ridding, looking the his skin was alive itself body..the other was a obviously dead one. adn the two portals. between teh bodies a elven looking spectral image was being ripped back and forth like a tennis ball the bodies woudl scream when the souls was slammed into it, and the soul gave a ail as it ripped between them. The necromancer stopping this when He noticed Malik...and Piper..there and put the soul in it's rightful body.

"Why would you watn to waist all that energy chasing down a gazel jimping up a cliff face when you can get one that's still on the ground? They travle in heards you know." An apple, core and all, grapefruit, half a pig.
"It's healthy for you, that's why. It tones your muscles, clears your head." He smirked, "which you could greatly benifit from. A head I mean."
He leaned in a bit. "Besides, you'd think a guy like you, who is oh so interested in the female sex, would want to know how to be so felxable. I bet you've never even touch the Kama Sutra."

Tarathiel approached the unapproachable, and bowed before the mighty. "Salmander, I need another Whip." He said calmly, with a tone not lost onto those surrounding, it was not a command, nor was it a request.
Salmander, a beast or a man, stood over the drow with a smug look, his eyes red as rubies, and his hair as black as the deepest hell. "A Whip I do not have for you, but a rapier perhaps. What did you do with my other Whip?"
"Whip is fine, I just need another ship." Tarathiel smiled, a lie or a truth. None could ever tell with this one.
"Flanking a foe?" Salmander asked, his voice thick with an acent foriegn to this world, for his first language was that of Fire, Ignian.
"To Flank, to fool, to make marry at the expense of others. To draw a foe deep into the dark, only to unlease that which he was not awaiting." Tarathiel purred to the taller thing.
"Do not be so callous with my belongings, princeling. Or, I will have to take away what I gave you." Salmader returned, his voice seemed to peel the skin of many a man, but Tarathiel seemed unafraid.
"Then who would further your case in the eyes of Lolth? Uthegentle?"
"Though you are indespensable to my will, I shall not tolerate your bravodo."
"I shall agree then, to let you pick the Captain." In a voice thick with false defeat.
"I shall tell you when you are to be so submissive, Son of Chaos." Salmander roared, much like a beast. He paused, and calmed his manner, "Talon shall sail along side you. Trem Bowl shall be his mate."
"You are ever wise, most cruel of Pirates." Tarathiel flattered. He was only here because it took too much effort to build his own ship.
Salmander waved his hand in the air, and several attendants began the prepreations. "Now, what are you planing, and what loot might I expect?"
"A kingdom in the sack, so I would say next to nothing."
"Then, why am I doing this?"
"For the same reason I am." Tarathiel smiled. Salmander laughed in his outerworld voice.

Getting down there wasn't easy for her at all, and by the time they were halfway down the stairs she had a white knuckled grip on Malik's sleeve, breathing getting a bit heavy. Screaming made her cringe and she had to force her feet to keep going, using her grip on Malik to quite literally drag herself. Of course the moment she was in that room, a first glance at Kaden and she let go of Malik, backing up till her back hit a wall, eyes dulling before she looked down to the blood stained ground. It wasn't what was happening to Kaden, or his state that bothered her...it was just the thought of being in the same room as Kaden. A few shuddering breaths and one hand reached to grip where that spike had been in her shoulder, almost like it hurt. Was this a good idea? Crippling fear put into the elf at a mere knowing they were in the same ten foot radius. A moment, that's all she needed, right? Giver her a moment to top trembling and breaking down, she could do this...right?

"Um, earth to Moonstone, we're Vah. we're naturally about three times as flexible as a human. I can do the entire karma sutra, and have, thank you, without special training. You want to be a snake, that's your own thing."
other half of the cantalope, one bushel of grapes and one of strawberries, and half a turkey.
"And I woudl have chosen one on the ground if dad had let me. he wanted the one that ran up the mountainside. it was the biggest one or some such reason. and I got a head, and I'm toned and gorgeous."
Malik nodded to teh necromancer, who left teh room, and Malik walked over and grabbed Kaden by the neck, and another scream tron from him at the effects of teh harm touch, which was a quick and very painful way to kill teh warms writhign through his body, before flinging him down. in his onw blood, urine and god knows what else.
"I believe someone is here to see you."
A look at Piper. a strong look, a look of commanding presence, to get her to confront Kaden.
