Eliot sighed inwardly. Roarke had probably known she was there the whole time. Oh well, what was she to do? she was not that powerful, and it was difficult to slooth around people who could detect your pressence. SHe was sure that if she was needed she would be called upaon.
Just for kicks she changed into her wolf form, it would be easier to jump down this way anyways.

"would be interesting. and if you are not worried or ashamed no need to ide you abilities from us. decendant of a demigod, I'm sure your area of expertise is quite formidable."
And he started through the book, reading over the arcane runes and scriptures as easily as he might read something in his own language.
"If you ware not concerned about your..added spy here, then bring them out."
He never looekd up from his book, nothign new yet. mostly the raising and control of the dead, and how the length of death effects the quality of servant, and teh benifits of skeletal pets over fleshy ones. basics on the use of poison and disease areas of magic, and the defenses of it.

A catious mage does not reveal himself, sir Malik." He cleared his throat at the mention of his being a demi-god. He didn't care to discuss it. it usually led to....uncomfotable discussions. Or actions. "Indeed. They are."
He was not relaly reading his book, since he knew it just about isnide and out. "I am not concerend bercause she is pivital to this little metting. Eliot?" He called into the books shelves. "Would you come here, please?"

Eliot made a very dog like sound. Pivital was she? How interesting. She did as was asked though and jumped down from her shelf, she was a guest after all.
she landed right next to Piper, they had been right beneath them after all and landing on the table did not seems to apealing to her, plus there was no dignity in taking a ladder. She had climbed up there herself anywas and there was not one close to hand.
She looked up and perked her ears and tilted her head a bit. Wolf for Hello, she tried her best to look inocent.

Piper looked to the wolf and tilted her head qutie the same in turn, giving her a smile then a look to Roarke. "Let me guess, more than a mere wolf?" That was easy to tell really...but then again she was an elf and more in tune to these types of things than a human or perhaps even a half elf would be. Then a look back to the wolf. "Well, hello to you too Eliot. Piper Silverfeather, pleased to meet you." What? Like she wouldn't know what that action meant? She was half wood elf and raised with them, of course she would know. Then another little thought...wow, how many more times would she get to introduce hersellf as Piper Silverfeather?
Kieran had indeed come back over and was flipping through that third book on the table now, and had his oen journal out, copying down a few things and what not, making a few sletches and the like.

(Edited becasue I misenturpreted)
Eliot Looked up to her and bowed her head. Nice to meet you, Silverfeather. She swished her tail back and forth, not sure of herself and what to do. She wanted to know what Kieran was drawing in that little journal of his, she padded over and poked her nose to his sleeve. May I see?

"Pivital to the meeting. then why hide her."
Flipping through the book some more, not miding much about things, occasionally writing down scripts in his own language, but nothign too much from what he alreayd knew and was sure the encromancers in his employ knew as well.
"Any of these books have information on teh creation and sustainment of a phylactery? Also, who wrote these. this person definately knew thier necromancy to get such a full set of books on teh subject, and was probably a necromancer themselves."
A glance over.
"How many of your students are interested in the arts of necromancy?"

((Congrats to you, you made me tilt my head and blink all confused like xd ))
Piper actually had to resist the urge to reach out and pet her between the ears...that would just be patronizing now wouldn't it? But at least she had will power right? So she took to leaning against a bookshelf, watching the men go about their own little conversation while letting her mind and eyes wander.
Kieran blinked at the poke, looking away from the book and his journal and looking down to apparently the wolf who poked him. Though he had a long long hard rather blank look at her before he broke into a smile. What had he been doing? Cluing in that she wasn't exactly a wolf as well. And thinking of course. But at her rather specific poking, he knew what she wanted and he showed. There sketched on the pages was Roake...with a few little notes of things here and there.

"I wasn't hiding her. She was hiding herself. Why invite her to the library when she was already here?" He set his book down.
"In these books, there is notihng about phylactery that I recall. Might be something in here though". He gave a vauge gesture to the entire library.
He cleared his throat. "Eliot dear? Would you mind becoming human for a short time? We need your voice box in order to get down to buisness."
He narrowed his eyes, thinking. "There may be one or two of the more powerful ones, why?"

(( Sorry!! redface ))
Elito tipped her head and let her tounge poke out a bit.
It looks just like him! But I don't understand the language. She whined a little to show that she couldn't read it. She looked at him and made an odd sound in her throat while moving her ears back and forth. He has the body structure of a protector, I'm sure he would do well in a pack.
Eliot's ears wilted a litte when Roarke said she was hiding, But she let herself flow into her human form. Nobody was able to see any taransition, it was like blinking and finding her to simply be there.
She walked up to Roarke, cloak tight around her face and hair. "I was not hiding, I was reading when you came in." She looked around at the Others and tipped her towards Malik, whom she had not said hi to, "I'm afarid I don't understand some of the terms youhave been using though."

"Simple. They might know exactly where to look for information on the creation and sustaining of a phylactary. and, they may know whom might be interested in using it. Necromancers don't choose that path for the enjoyment of playing with the dead. tehy do it to learn how to manipulate teh line of life and death to thier benifit. I have not met a single necromancer, even those in my employ, who's ultimate goal is not to somehow learn the secrets to become immortal. some wish to master teh disease and poison aspects to become immune to them, some work almost entirely with essence emeralds and pets to try and find a way to transfer souls."
Closing the book.
"And if our lich is lookign for students, that's who he'll go after first. lackeys for doign the little dirty work. or maybe to uses as fuel for his own life."

"If that be the case, then said students have already flocked to his or her side. I doubt I would be able to get a hold of such a student." He sighed. "No, it's much worse than some crazy fool trying to find immortality. No, this has to do with a crazy fool who has already done it. At least, if my suspicious are correct in the matter."
He sighed. "Eliot, dear, I did not mean to insult you. Right now, I need you to be my whitness. Verify my words, if you will."
"The lich is not loking for studnets. He's looking for dead people."

Eliot sighed.
"Unfortunatly Roarke I cannot verify that. I do not think he is looking for the dead. I was attacked by one of his dead before, adn you can tell that it is dead, the flesh... it still rots from your body even if the corpse is animated. No, those that attacked us where alive. Do you remember when this Lich attaked you? Well... I thought you had known, but he was... extracting soemthign from your body, it glowed and it eminated from your mouth, it had to be the tiniest light I have ever seen.
I think he is looking for the living, and taking there souls."
Eliot Shuddered at her own words.

Kieran looked up from what he was doing again and blinked twice, then slowly looked over to his daughter. It was coming in a little fuzzy...she must not of been concentrating hard enough...or was upset. Closing his journal he tucked it away under his tunic and strolled over to her, putting his arm around her shoulder and then walking out with her, a bit of a concerned look on his face. Retracing footsteps from the place they easily enough ended up back outside. Shooing Nightmare away from Serino they both mounted up on the Zephyr, the creature blinked out of sight.
Appearing right back at the fortress where Piper slid off, arms wrapped around herself. Obviously soemthign that upset hre and put her in a foul mood. Three guesses to what. Walking back inside she watche the door close behind her. Well...she tried at least. That was the important part right? But no, he didn't need to stay with here...after all, the twins were there. That was comforting in it's own right.
A long look at that door. Poor thing. Then a pet to Serino who he gave an elvish word to and once again blinked out from one place, arriving at the other. Of course the moment he dismounted Serino plopped down to continue to antagonize Nightmare. That was still amusing to the elf. But back inside with himself and back to the library.

Moonstone, his fur having finally dreid out, came down the stairs. He was trying to comb some of his fur down with his claws. After not ahving bathed for so long, the water had made it go all puffy.He growled a bit and straightened a whisker.
He was a little pre-occupied, wasn't even sure where he was ging, when he bumped into Piper. Hoped he hadn't just stepped on her foot wiht his clunky black boots.
"Whoops. Ah...s-sorry Piper." He stil had that malnourished look, hallow cheks, bags under his eyes, and of course, a waistline that was no longer taught with muscle.
