"I dunno. maybe thier afriad of us or something. or thier doign soemthing else to etertain themselves. or maybe thier here, invisible, trying to figure out how to get your shoes."
A chuckle at that.
"Or maybe thier waitign in our shared room, hopign you'll head to get a shower so they can eat your shoes."

Moonstone gave him a sidelong glance. "You want them to eat my shoes, don't you?"
Moonstone sniffed, mopped up the last of their mess. "I don't see what's so entertaining about having imps eat my shoes. I could probably tell them your pants are tastey, and they'd believe me"
"And if you try to sick 'em on my shoes, I might just try it."

"I can go naked. just meand the ladies get a better look at my sexy figure and how well built I am."
A chuckle and a smirk.
"But I woudl love to see how those soft, shoe wearing feet of yourse do on hard, cold, stoney ground. I bet teh pads on your feet as smooth as a baby's bottom."

Moonstone rolled his eyes. "Please, you hoenstly think women wnat to see that?"
He shook his head. "I'm not that soft, Onyx. Plus, I walk aropund without my boots tons of times, you were just never around to see it. Hard. cold, stoney, wet, hot, whatever. I can take it."
He put his mop away and watched servants re-stock the table. "You think to little of me, brother."

"You don't seem interested in anything. You don't want to run the wilds, you don't like to hunt, you don't like to fight. the little bit of shamanistic power you have you never use, and you don't train with any weapons. it's like everything you got, you don't seem to really want, where as I want more. And I don't understand it in the least. You're strong, but you make no rel effort to get stronger. or faster. You wear shoes, when our feet are desinged to not need them. I woudln't wear pants if it wasn't for mom and dad's insistance for them. we got fur, we don't need clothes."
A gesture over to him.
"When was the last time you even felt the urge to hunt?"

He shrugged. "I have no need to fight, I have no need to hunt, I have no need to train, I have no need for power. If I had to do these thigns to survive, like Mother and Father had to, then perhaps I'd find an interest in it all. Just because I have the strength, doesn't mean that I have to use it. I don't like to waist power and energy where it doesn't need to be waisted."
"The last time I had the urge to hunt I was three, and it was a grasshopper. Who died horribley, and tasted awefull."
"As for the clothes...I've learned a little shame. That and it doesn't make me look so much like a ebast, and a littel more like an approachable animal."

Kieran glanced his eyes again to the still hanging from his hair feathered fairy. "Well...I think someone has more enthusaisnm about this trip than me. Or perhaps he's jsut more outward with his showing of such things. I still have to maintain my dignity after all." A soft chuckle, looking back to the other elves. "Sounds reasonable, rise with the sun and head out...or rahter...whenever...I've really lost my sense of time down here." Another laugh from him, indeed he had.
Was she going? She was still in last minute decision land on that. After all, sure she had had her symbolic vengence on Kaden, but that didn't mean she was all okay just like that. It would still take time, but just not as much...she'd decide in the morning. Besides...she would probably be the one stuck riding with either Malik or Kieran since they would be down a horse. "We just bide our time then." Then a smile to her father. "Don't expect to know your time down here...took me a year before I got it down and sometimes I still second guess myself."

"Sometimes being a Tier'dal has it's advantage."
A grin and a nod to Kieran.
"Might I also advise in keeping Nieran calmer around Nightmare. the addition of terran's mare has put her on edge, so to speak. and while she can't physically hurt him, perhaps..I don't thinky ou want him to suffer a heart attack or stroke, either."
A glance at Piper.
"And we need to see if the kits have cleaned up thier mess."
Onyx looked at his brother for a moment.
"Perhasp they are right in saying we are the opposing ends of teh spectrum in not just color but spirit. You fear the beastial part. I embrace it. I want the feral pulls, the needs to hunt, to kill. I want to feel teh animal strength, the blood rushing when I stalk prey the feelings of being a predatory wolf among sheep. I want the beast. I want to take it and run with it. I want to feel it in my blood, all your senses so sharp you can tell how your muslces move under your skin and how the wind moves through your fur. the glow of eyes in teh dark, hearing the frightened, shallow breaths of the ones your hunting. I love it."

Kieran sighed lightly, crossing his arms. "I suppose I should give an apology for him...he's always been jittery but had a rather bad experience with a Zephmare...or Night Zephyr if you prefer... and he's been more so ever since." But a nod to Malik. "I'll give him a talking to...maybe bribe him a bit. He'd probably put off mroe because your Nightmare has the push to even herd Serino." Still, Kieran wouldn't want another horse, he'd had Nerian since he was quit young.
He got a glance back and a nod as well, then she handed over the letter to her father. "Indeed, we do. They made quite the mess...it would be interesting to see if they got it cleaned up in thier appointed time." And then a look to Kieran again. "You migth as well come too. You're up and you need to send Nerian off."

"Different indeed. I don't want to hunt. Hunting something defensless means nothing to me. It wastes my energy, my talents. I would rather use it in the benifit of soemone else. Protect soemone. Stay by their side, fight for them so that they have no need to bloody their own hands. Keep the rest of...well...whoever...pure. I'll stain my hands. I don't mind. As long as it's not for myself."
He shrugged. "I suppose I have no interest in my own emotions. They seem...unimportantt to me."
"I'm just really looking forward to it. I don't think I've ever beent o this Academy. i want to sink my teeth into the loaf of bread that is it's wealth of knowledge!" He grinned happily. "It's exciting!"

Eliot was snuggled up quite nicely. She was reading a story about two vah who had personalities that completely clashed with each other. She laughed at the silly argumetns they always got into. why couldn't they just accept each other she thought? Oh well, it did make for an interesting read. She wedged herself down further into the shelf to see what would happen next.

"You know, emotional detachment is a bad thing."
A chuckle.
"Pure? there ain't a being in teh world that's pure except for a new born baby. Everyone has dirty hands. some just moreso than others."
Malik nodded to them both, raising a brow at the fairy.
"Are you sure your not related to those two imps? some kind of little brother they pick on?"
But a glance at teh letter, a shrug, adn down toward the dining area.
"I swear this had all better be clean up or I'm putting them both out in teh stables for a week. and I'll let Nightmare take the michief out of them."

Two elves followed in tow of Malik, one with arms crossed, the other with two fingers hooked in her collar in casual fashion. "You mean you'll let Nightmare torment him." A look to her father and a little smirk. "I swear...Malik and his Nightmare were made for each other." But down to the dining room indeed to see how good the kits were at cleaning up thier messes.
Kieran reached a hand up, offering it for Blue to step into his palm, where he carried the little feathered fairy in his hand. Lucky him, he was getting a free ride out of the elf. A look to the two cats as they all came to the afroementioned dinning room. "You sure they flung food everywhere?" Clean indeed.

"When you kill someone Onyx, you kill a part of yourself. that is what I meant by pure. WHat about Bode, eh? Is she dirty just becasue she's a conduit? I don't tihnk so. If I had to kill soemone to keep her from doing it, to keep her from feeling the pain, I'd do it. I'd do it a hundred tiems over."
I'd rather kill myself inside, then have someone I care about die just a little bit. Odd philosophy? Perhaps, but Moonstone had had a lot of tiem to think lately.
He blinked. "Ah...well...not certianly not related. I'm interested in knwoing, not eating everything in sight. Or destroying it, or hurting myself."
"Why thank you Keiran." he stepped down into the elves hand. It seemed a rather casualy thing, like he was used to it.

"Not bad at all. Now you two can go get yourselves cleaned up."
That was all Malik siad about that, before continuing on to the stables. Philosophical debates between teh vah were between the vah. Uncollared slaves, some of the younger ones still feared him and scurried out of his way. that got a glance at Piper, adn a little nod. her plan so far seemed to be working just as well.
"Ramoth!"
And there came Nightmare trotting in a highstep like she was in a parade. that got a look from malik. last time she was pissy, and now she's prancing.
"Tejmook'cinkjuu alur ph' dos. Vel'bol inbalus dos hasstn vaen draeval?"
Nightmare jsut snorted and shook her head and wisps of flame floting into teh air like stray hair.
"Yes yes. being defiant."
Onyx waved a hand at Malik in acknowledgement.
"Yes, she's dirty becuase of what her conduit does, and the things she does. just like I am, or you are, or Whirlwind is or Piper or Malik. and killing another ins't killing a part of yourself. it's just the way of things. the strong survive off the weak. until there is a balance. sparing someone else only makes it easier for smoething to get them when you're not there."
