"Lions...they look like those big stone statues out front." He changed his clothing, although behind a changing screen. He might share some of eliots vews on nuditaty and intimacy, but he had his decency. He came out tying his hair back in a pony tail.
He yawned. He was still tired, and went through his mentle list of defenses to take down. He need to remind that drow to warn him before he got that close. He headed downstairs, taking Eliot with him.
"It's like eating really goog cake, Onyx. The first bit is awesome. Then it's not so great, until every forkful makes you want to throw up." She sighed. "I know I can visit. No, it doesn't really work like that. I need to be holding the item. Morelle doesn't tohugh, and he can return it to me. The only problem is that because of the times crossing, there is days of lag before I get there."
"I'll see if I can come soon, and have a talk with Moonstone. Maybe I'll bring your father with me this time. He would like to see you two."

Another grin.
"Alright, you have a deal. I'll handle the slaves, and you can handle the foals to be, on one condition. I want to be able to have one foal to handle on my own, like you have fifty of my slaves."
That sounded reasonable, didn't it. and they were almost to the Academy now. love those fast supernatural horses.
Onyx grinned lightly.
"That's the way it always is. I'm waiting for Moon to find that out when he gets his first taste of worry, or fear. then see how much he likes it. And I think father...well...piper's been out of sorts lately. maybe some of his feathers or somthign might help perk her up, you think? hell she didn't even want mine. I guess shiny black isn't her style."

Eliot followed Roarke down the stairs. "Those things are Lions? Huh, who would have thought?"

She grinned right back, giving an idle pat to Serino's mane, playing a bit with the beads strung in the currently black strands. "I'll make that deal, it's perfectly resonable. You get your foal, I get to keep my slaves and we both get something to play with...and I get a reason to wear pants...what with this dress business I think you're trying to turn me into a lady." A light chukle at that. Did she mind? Not really, but it was fun to poke and probably a good source of jokes as well. Though she blinked as her ears picked up the sound of hooves that clicked on stone without horseshoes. A look down to her rides hooves, seeing them indeed on the ground, then up a head, giving him a pat. "You're tired...we're almost there, then you can rest."

"Careful Onyx," said in that mother beware type tone, "you two causeing each other pain is the last thing I need. And by the way, witohut emotion to cover it up, the phyiscial stuff is going to hurt a lot worse now." Jut a heads up.
"Piper is still not herself? Well, Cym would certainly like to see her." She sounded a little happier here. "And maybe I can meet this Simon."
They made their way down into the main foyer, and out onto the front steps. Where one of the stone lions were already getting upp off their bloack supports. Roarke held up a hand, rushing towards it. "Uh uh uh! No need to get up!" The lion looked at him with a puzzled look. "It's all right, they are freinds. I can handle them." With a horrific grating sound, the lion sat back down. Roarle clenched his teeth against the sound. "I wanted to make them out of someything a little less noisey, but no...it had to be stone."

Eliot smiled at them.
"They are handsome creatures. Who is comign to meet us?... or i guess that would be you, they are comign to meet."
Eliot out of habbit, bounded down the steps in her wold body. She sat beside roarke with her tongue hanging out of her mouth.

Malik came up on Nightmare, shortly followed by Piper and Serino.
"We have things to discuss, Roarke."
Malik got off Nightmare, and glanced at the wolf girl.
"and things to know about her, as well. We've consulted your cousin about certian issues. I need to greatly increase teh defense of my home, as right now we are ally to the child of chaos. Also, have you found anything more that point to the lich being ton's twin, Dimitri?"
And a glance around.
"and where is Alaran, your dragon? I would think she'd be close by. I expected her to be your first defense, in fact."
"Might not hurt. you didn't get to meet Bode either on your last trip, did you. though I'm not sure Simon woudl be here if dad came..I mean there's nto two version of piper or malik..he might..take simon's place, so to speak. but only the oracle coudl answer that one. I don't mind the physical stuff mom. I'm tough. well I'm going to let you go for now, and check on Moon."
A glance around, make sure no one is listening.
"Love you mom."

Piper dropped off Serino, giving him a pat on the nose. He didn't need her sitting on him, he seemed the tad bit tired, especially what with walking on the ground it all. And Nightmare got some petting too, hey she liked the horse even if Nightmare wasn't the elf's biggest fan. But then she moved to stand next to Malik, giving a polite nod to Roarke and Eliot. Though a look to Malik with a raised eyebrow. "Are we honestly calling him an ally?" No she didn't like Tarathiel...he looked at her too much.

"Me indeed." He smiled warmly at the two and tried not to yawn. "Greetings to you too, Malik D'vinn. How good of you to grace my home with your presence once more."
"He held his palms up, shrugged. "I have been ill disposed this last little while. I am afraid I have not yet had a chance to speak with Ton at all about the matter." Roarke coughed into his hand. "Alaran has been...dismissed." He looked off into the distance.
Roarke leaned around the other two a moment to look at the horse flesh. "You know, I have a green house out back," he threw a thumb over his shoulder. "Imitates real sunlight, if your zephyr would like to rest there."
Rand chuckled. "Well, then perhaps I will stay longer than Cymarron. I have to say that my interest has been peeked about him. I'd like to know just how much like your father he is. ANd how much I resemble his wife." If she could have reached out and petted her son, she would have. She would have hugged him too. "I love you too, dear Onyx."

Eliot tilted her head. Talk to her? What do they need to know?
She barked at Malik talk about me as if I am not here! As if I am one of your slaves to be commanded and controled! If you have somethign to ask you can ask me! She turned her head away. Yes she was angry. She stood up and thehair on her back was all ruffled. She snorted just to get her poitn across.

A glance at Eliot, and a smirk. then back to Roarke.
"I need as much and as powerful magical defenses that you can muster. and I hope that you can defend agasint Alaran, Roarke. Dragons are know for being spiteful and violent."
Then down to Eliot.
"And you said you had dreams about the corn fields. I want to know them, so that I can compare what you dreamed about to those that actually were born there and see how it compares."
Then to Piper.
"Yes, for the moment, he is...but I don't expect that to last very long."
Back to Roarke.
"Your cousin in a few days is going to send me with Tanundra to see Ton. I need to get a weapon blessed, and she's hoping ton can convince his mother to do that for us."
Onyx purred lightly.
"Well...he doesn't have father's good looks. but he seems to practice the smae magic and is just as protective. and I bet you would love little bode. well, tiem to check on moon, talk to you later mom."
And he let the item go, setting it back on teh shelf, and picked up morelle, heading down to the kitchen to check on his twin.

Piper's hand reached out, seeking Malik's and twinging thier fingers together, just because really. Well that and she also felt the need to touch him for some reason or another. "Good...because I don't like him around..." And being an ally meant him being around or in the very least in contact. Neither she liked. But no need to worry, right? Malik had already told her not to worry, he wouldn't let Tarathiel near her at all...and who knew what the hell that drow had on his overly eccentric mind. And she looked to Serino. "Why don't you go on there Serino...been a while since you've been in sunlight." Sunlight, that was something she hadn't thought about in a while.

Roarke lifted an eyebrow. "Alaran has been killing the women that try to get close to me. I think I know how violent she can be." There was no mirth in that statment.
"That is good. I do not enjoy the periods Alaran takes to visit the place. She stayes there for weeks, and ignores Eca." He shook his head. "Souls get tired outside of the body, and she doesn't let them rest much."
He put a hand to his chin, thinking a moment. "Well, if it's protection you are looking for," sounding very much the buisness man, and pointed up to the large stone lions. "I could set you up something like these two. Maybe something less noticable though, like gargoyles."
Rand laughed a bit. "I would like to meet the both of them. Send Morelle back with the item in a little while, sweetheart."
Morelle sat in Onyx's arm, feeling tired after all his planes hopping lately. Not to mention it had been a while since he rode with one of the twins. he sat back to enjoy the ride, and keep an eye on things for Rand.
Moonstone was sitting in one of the chairs at the table, feet up, picking his teeth with a bit of bone. He had just enjoyed a very nice t-bone steak, and he was contemplating having another.

"Well I woudln't mind somethign more flashy. and more versatile. however I would need to know exactly how they work before I would be able to know what to ask for. and there are more defenses than just those stone lions. I need defense agaisnt magical intrusion as well."
Though he shook his head lightly.
"You still should not have dismissed her. what happens if our friend Dimitri uses an illusion to appear living again. she might very well align with him to strike at you, or thinking he's Ton."
Onyx came down and watched his brother with zero expression. you know...being emotionless woudl make him one hell of a card player. talk about a poker face.
"So he goes from depressed slouch to active glutton. isn't that special."
A humorless chuckle.
"So what are you going to do next? find a slave girl to play with so you can experience another of the christian deadly sins?"

"We'll paint them neon green."
Roarke smiled. "Well, I've got a few other things. We'll take a look at them." He turned around and headed up the steps. "First, I suppose we'll take a lok at item based barriars. That's a good place to start."
He coughed into a fist. "I am hoping Alaran is smart enough to realize that she's been visitin the dead man's soul at his grave. While he does look like Ton, he has soem very....notable differences. At least I should hope they are noticable."
"It's not gluttony to eat a steak, Onyx." He chewed on the bone a little bit. "So I tihnk I'll be forgiven."
"Tempting, but no, I still have my morals." A look up at that, suggestion all behind it. "Nope. I'm heading over to Lostagrace. Gonna see what I can find." he didn't much feel like staying in the manor for the time being. He wanted tog et out, experiance life.
