A slight smile. "I'll have to remember that..." Make use of it? Maybe, who knew. Maybe the oracle herself but beyond that, no one. Meilikki actually had to pull her into that frst step or two before the young ewlf merely followed her out the one room and back to the other. Of course only after making sure Meilikki was settled in a chair, she walked back around the table to the one she had been sitting in before next to Malik. She had her arms wrapped around herself lightly though, she felt rather vulnerable...but she was supposed to...that's what dropping your barriers made you feel. Eyes focused on the table and she took in a breath, holding it a moment before letting it out. Yeah...she did feel better...but still utterly vulnerable on a few levels.

"Mostly that thing is to distract those two imps. they aren't all that bright, and I'm hoping at least it will stop thier phasing in and out of reality in my home for awhile."
A bit of a raised brow though.
"Been snooping in my home, Tarathiel? you and those damned wizards. But as for a plan..right now myself and piper seem to have a..buisness arrangement with him. I've asked for a meeting to request specific things. if we can pull him from his lair, it may be possible for your wizards to find a way in and do whatever damamge and find out whatever we can. perhaps Iris can give them a better description of the area aroudn these corn fields."
A slight grin.
"You can bring a little chaos to his orderly operation of creating slaves and stealing souls. maybe tip his hand a bit when he has to recover, give us a show of power or any allies he might ask for assistance from.

"The body and the soul are two seperate things. Ca can be taken from the othe. Two solus can rest in one body, or one soul int tow bodys, split in half. It's an odd concept, but it can be done. The body without the souls is a shall that can be commanded and told what to do. But it takes skill, and practice to be able to extract the entire soul, and not leve vstiges of itself in it's owner. I doubt we will ever know how your parnets ascaped. Unless the Oracle knows.
Meilikki sat at the table, looked to the rest of the group as if she had no idea what was ging on, which of course as a lie. "Well? Where were we?" She knew that too. What she didn't like is that she could not predict what the Lich would do next. She was almost usless now.

"Yes, walk into his home and have my soul stolen. Good plan." Tarathiel frowned. "I though more highly of you."
"Well, corn fields... Corn?" He shoke his head. "If its a plant, I know who can find it."
He paused, "I only went snooping into your house because you were there, and I wanted to give you... Oh, I have a present for you. I'll deliver it sometime. Hey, I have an idea. I know who will give me what I need. I'll be right back... Famous last words if someone has ever said them." Tarathiel bowed.
"A little time and grace, and some strong allies. Yes... you were right in one reguard." The elf simply walked out the room, into the west and up a flight of stairs.

As it seemed, Meilikki picked up right where they all left off. But Piper remained quiet but not disturbingly so. She merely listened to them talk of plans and actions, eyes turning to watching the fire...after all, with firelight on her face perhaps that look of just having cried wouldn't be so apparent. Though a few things did catch her attention and the like...the thought of Tarathiel snooping around...well it was a little disturbing.

"Not walk in there and have your soul stolen. besides. why go yourself. send in the wizards. if the lich writes in arcane runes his own plans, they'd be quickest to see it anyway."
But he let Tarathiel deal with that, turning to Piper and gently laying a hand on her shoulder, a bit concerned, before turnign his eyes to teh Oracle.
"Lets say, Oracle..we're right. the Lich is Ton's twin Dimitri. do you know anything of the kind of level of power we're talking?"
then his hand rested on Malvolence for a moment, to speak to Piper.
Don't worry about that. I won't let him do anything to you. and I'll take the oracles advice and get extra defenses from roake.

Aella watched Tarathiel leave, and wondered if she should follow him to mkae sure he behaved....
Iris actually spoke up. Which should have gotten her slapped or beaten, and she fully expected it. "These corn fields grow people."
Meilikki lifted an eyebrow. "Dimitri was just as powerful as his twin. His blood was not diluted with eyars of reproduction, like Roarke's and mine is. His mother is a goddess, his father a very cunning warrior. You know the powers of your god, Malik. Cut those powers in half, and he is stuill very, very potent."

"I still don't like it." Eliot sighed. She dipped her finger in her wine and spread the droplet aroudn the top of her cup, making that sound that made ears ring, she liked that feeling.
She felt odd all of a sudden though. Something wasn't right. Her legs were beginning to hurt terribly, and her stomach was turning. She dropped her cup to the floor and colapsed in a heap. Her eyes began flashing again from the pain. She slowly reached down and lifted up her pant leg.
Skin pealed away from her body as she did so. Her legs were burnign terrible and tears leaked from her eyes, with Roarke as close as she was she didn't want to scream, but oh did she want to. The scrtaches that had disapeared were back as if they were fresh along with the worst frost bite she had ever seen. She gagged as the skin came off in her hands.

Onyx smirked lightly.
"I'd kill you on general principal. I may not feel, but unlike you, I still remember what it was like to. so I know what I should feel, how it feels, and what it can make you do."
Then a little grin of his own.
"And what are you going to do next time you see Piper? after all, with emotion, you don't need a touch to feel lust."

He got her attention with the touch and she looked to the hand that rested on her shoulder before her own hand reached up to rest on top of his, adn she managed a slight smile at him. Vulnerable...but in a good way....at least being so to Malik was a good way. A slow blink and then another little smile from her at his voice in her head...and it felt good to have it in there. She knew he could scan through thoughts and she didn't seem to mind where usually she would pick about it. Him? Tarathiel of course, if Malik was scanning thoughts, he knew she didn't that that Tarathiel was snooping about. We can us all the defense we can get...and I know you won't. No matter the situation or circumstance you'll be there when I need you. Touching on what he told her before and what was true.

"You mean you'lrr try to kill me. Every attempt well be halfhearted, ebcause beind it, there is nothing. How do you think you could always beat me, even though I am stronger?"
"I'll have the decency too keep my hands to myself." Lust or no, he still had boundries. "I may feel, but unlike you, I remeber what it's like to control myself." Hsi tail sawyed back and forth. He liked this smug feeling. "How does it feel, to not have a heart?"

Confused by not hesitating, Roarke hedl out a hand, undoing whatever was assiling the girl. He stopped the flesh peeling in it's tracks, hel don to blood and skin alike. He lowered Eliot gently to the floor, before she keeled over and hit her head, and began stitching up her wounds. He frwoned, grabbed the necklave froma round her neck and tore it off, thowing it across the room. He continued to heal the girl.
"First lesson a mage always elarns. Never pick up magical artifacts of whose full potential you do not know." He held his hands above her, stiching up and knitting togther as best he knew how "I had forgottent that one."

"It feels..empty. void. like a black hole..I feel free. I can do anything. go anywhere without knowing fear, or hate, or anger. I can watch women without feeling lust. I won't make Whirlwind nervous by getting butterflies and stuttering becuase I..like her."
nice recovery.

Eliot lay panting on the ground. Her legs tingled, it was a feelign she did not like.
"What in the world?" She tentavly sat up, checking her head automaticly for bumps before she remember Roarke had stopped her. She put her hand on his arm. "Thank you but I'm about to throw up on your rug." she eturned her head and deftly threw up.
"I'm sorry..." HS etried to mop up the mess. "What happened? I thought that necklace only had a protection spell on it?"

"Or excitment, or joy, or wonder, or lust, or love. You won't even think she's beautiful anymore."
Oh he caughte the pause, and he smiled evily. "And if she gives in to you, you'll feel nothing. All that will be there is your base instinc that says hurray, you got the job done. Time to move on."
