"Sure thing, Eliot." He took her arm to help steady her. "Come on, I'll get you some meat, and then you're going to bed." He gave her a look. "Understand?"
Thier little boat pulled up to a dock some ways out of Triumverate Fortress. O'Konner might have once pulled right up to the house, but the D'vinn home was known for it's cruelty. He tied the boat up, and took his daughters hand. As far as he knew, there were no magical barriars that would bare his way. He was known here, if not exactly loved.
"Kat, you have to be carefull here. These people would not appriecate you talking back or down to them. understand? This is the type of place that would lop your head off for stepping in the door on the wrong foot."

Eliot looked blankly at Roarke for a moment and then burst out laughing, "Yes father." She replied. In truth she had no objection to either suggestion.
Kat did her best to ingnore her father, she wasn't much in the mood for him. "Is that so Daddy?" She replied to him half heartedly. "And what's sp pecail about this place that they think they are better than everyone else?" She kicked her feet at pebbles, stray garbage, andything that she felt deserved a good thrashing really. "ANd what foot is that?"

Roarke helped Eliot up to the dinning room, which was a room the size of a gymnasium filled with an assortment of different kinds of tables. He sat Eliot down in a two seater, sat across from her. "Well Eliot, what would you like to eat?"
"You are going to stop that attitude right now, missy. That kind of thing will get you killed. This is the home of a drwo we are entering. You remeber the drow yes? The ones that raided your uncle's vinyards? Raped and murdered your aunt and cousins? Being male didn't help Bill and James, did it?" He was getting fed up with her attitude. This was no time brin up her daddy issues.

Eliot looked around rather wide eyed... "Uh... deer is good, raw if you have it, but I can just have something the cooks have already made, I don't want to be a bother."
She snapped at her father, "Of course I haven't forgotten! I spent more time with them then I did you now didn't I? Stop telling me I'm a stupid insencesative girl daddy, you never say anything nice to me." She glowered, what did he think she was going to do? Walk in and purposefully piss them off? Her dad was the only one she wanted pissed off. She had no reason to be rude to them after all. "You know I think I wuold rather be back with mother now. Maybe you shouldn't have taken me if you didn't want to deal with me. You never did before how is now any different.?" There were no heat in her words, it was if she were stating a simple fact.

"I finally gave you what you wanted, Kat. No stop complaining and stopp trying to turn it into a giult trip sally sob story, got it?" He stopped out front of the doors, where the two orgers stood. He had forgotten about them. "Kat, you wait here a minute." He approached the door...the orgers didn't seem to mind. Okay, next step...he knocked on the door.
A few minutes later, Moonstone opened the door. "Myay?"
Roarke lifted an eyebrow. "Deer it is!" He pulled a napikin out of a glass that was near her, and spread it out before Eliot. He Gave her a long look, then smiled, and whipped the cloth away. A plate, garnished with a few veggitables and a sprig of parsley, and a nice, juicy, raw slab of deer meat. "All for you, dear Eliot."

Nightmare snorted and nodded her head to Malik and let Piper pet her and was a bit pleased to see them. she wasn't feeling up to par. Malik looked her over and patted her neck adn got up on her.
"The fast way. I think Nightmare needs to get to the stables as quickly as she can. and then...well she might be monitored after that. and what's got him so happy?"
Onyx watched her for a moment, and then shrugged.
"Could work. but you'd need a major guilt trip to do it. just asking isn't going to work. I have somethign I might try..if he agrees to even bother trying to give back my emotion."
A slight grin.
"think you can do it? he's new to emotion, so if he does feel guilt, it's going to hit him hard."

Eliot's mouth Instantly filled with saliva, the smell was... too good to resist! "It is offical Roakre, I no longer hate you, now please forgive my lack of table manners." She attacked her stake with vigor, letting her sharp teeth tear the meet apart, the juices running down her face and throat, God it tasted good! In moments it was gone and Eliot was contendaly cleaning herself off. "Wow, that was good, I feel better to!" She smiled, not at all ashamed of the way she had eaten, after all she was a wolf and wolves ate... much the same way all the time. "Thank you!"
"This is not what I wanted daddy, mother practicly forced you to take me, it's not out of love that I'm here." She ignored her father but did as he had asked and she waited beyond the guards. She was however watching intently at the door. And when what she percieved to be the most beautiful creature in the world opened the door she was quit glad her father couldn't see her face for it had fallen. She hastly closed her mouth as her heart skipped a beat.

"Zephyrs are surface creatures, remember? A little sunshine, no matter how fake does him some good." Indeed, he was quite happy over that little fact. A soft little chuckle at the Zephyr who was going on and on about random things really. Of course Malik would only know that by the contast little breeze that was being kicked up. "Alrigth then short way..." And two steps into a walk, Serino was gone with Piper, popping back into the plane of the physical outside the stables where Piper slid off the horse, then gave him a pet and a nuzzle, walking around front some. Though she stopped...okay...the place was popular again and what the hell was with the steel crate? Hm...could melt that thing down to money...Yeah...best to wait for Malik.

Malik was not far behind, adn Nightmare trotted into her stable and layed down, snorting lightly. then a walk to teh front, where Moon had opened the door, and a look at the steel crate. well well. a large amount of money right there. now what was in the thing. a push by Moon and the guest, to look at teh note.
"Well well. That is interesting."
A look to teh guards at the door.
"Move this to a breaker room, but don't open it. just transport it there and resume your posts. and you both need to pay more attention."
A glance at the man.
"And what are you here for?"

"Would interesting be the right word for it?" Did she like the appeal of ominous craters left on the doorstep? No not really...Then a look to him, setting her hands to her hips and shaking her head lightly. "Do you ever start a converstaion with a hello?" Yes she waas picking again...but hey she hadnt' done so in a while and some catching up was due. Though with a sigh she walked over, coming to stand next to Malik.

"Oh..." She looked down at her hands. "I'm more good and the hit and run type of thing, then the talk and convince type." She smiled. "I guess I'm a little more prone to violence then peace."
She chuckled. "Been a while since I could even act on those...violent tendencies, too."
Moonstone raised an eyebrow at the man by the door, dressed very much like a cowboy. Bandana tied around his neck, cowboy hat, faded bblue jeans, and a brown lather over coat and vest. More than likely cow hide. He gave a glance to the girl, but was more interested in the strange man that had appeared.
Moonstone gave a node to malik, who ignored it of course, as was the man's custome. And he smiled warmly at Piper, his tail swaying back and forth happily.
O'Konner tipped is hat to Piper first, and then to Malik. "G'day, sir. We met some years ago when you were having problems with some of my meat, but I don't blame you if you don't remeber." He held out his hand. "Ted O'Konner, and this here is my daughter Kat. I supply the beef that graces your table."

Kat took that as her invitation, and trying to look cool, she walked up to satnd just behind her father. She played with a long piece of green hair. Closer she could see that the cat had wings! How cool was that? She wanted to touch them. And suddenly the artist in her kicked in and she wanted to die them different colours, green and yellow would look awsome she though. She found she couldn't take her eyes off of him and when the other man came close, he nearly scared her hlaf to death!

"Is that so. Well then, Mr. O'Konner...what can I do for you today? and due come inside."
And he led him, and his daughter, into teh main living space, slavegirls already startign in to bring trays of fruits, one bringing a record log, a few other taking O'konner's hat and putting it on a rack for him and still more doing things like cleanign off tables nad wiping off chairs. Malik didn't pay them really any attention, just grabbing a few grapes from one tray.
Once everyone was settled, Malik in a huge leathered chair and them across a lower coffeetable with food on it in similar but smaller chairs.
"So tell em why the person who supplies me with beef has come all this way to talk to me. somethign is of course, wrong...but what is it?"
Onyx smiled lightly.
"here's what you can tell him. tell him your interested in me, and you want me to be able to be interested in you, adn to do that, I need my emotion back. convince him that your very disheartened by the state of affairs. he's always been a sucker for a sad woman. can't say no to them. adn with guilt now, he'll be a real sucker. or hey, we can knock him out nad I can try and get it to work that way. but I think I need his spiritual power to kind of counter or add on to my demonic aura for this to work."

Piper brushed a few strands of red and silver from her eyes, sighed once and crossed her arms, following the little group inside. Okay...truth be told she was getting so sick of business. But detouring upstairs she headed to thier room, ditched the chainmail and cloak and grabbed up the joournal her father had given her earlier to translate for Malik. But before heading back she detoured to her father's room...he was as per usual, writing away in another journal, Raziel on his shoulder looking half asleep. "Nerian isn't back yet?
A momentary stop in his pen scratchings. "No...not yet. But he should be back soon, with a letter for me and diamonds for you...and maybe something a little extra." And he gave one of those smiles that said 'I know something you don't know and as your father, I'm lording that over you'.
Smug elf. A soft smile and a shake of her head. "Oh by the way...", a point to the feathered fairy, "his name is Raziel." Another smile and she left him to do his own thingBack downstairs with journal in hand she took to be with the little group...she may find a certain loathing for business affairs, but that didn't mean she wanted to be left out of the loop...besides, she'd be translating and only half paying attention to them anyway.

O'Konner nodded his thanks for the hospitality, but as was his way, did not accept any food. He got down to buiness. "It's always been the pride of the family too keep up good buisness. To keep ou prices fair and managable, to keep our customer's fed." He leaned back in his chair a bit. "But my ships are turning up missing, and haven't been able to make their deliveries."
"Someone's been sinking them. There have been reports of dead cattle floating in the water just near Deep Water, where our ships pass through."
Moonstone followed, interested in the conversatuion..and sorta looking for a bit of this petting thing that piper liked to give out. He could actually enjoy it now...and maybe not get so flustered. He stayed close to hern when she returned to them, purring.
Two things wrong with that..but she'd only adress one.
"But...you said he's not going to want to trade back with you. That means he likes having emotions. Whcih means it might take more then giult. You two were prolly really angry at each other to do this switch...he'll probably have to want to give it to you, as much as you want it back, for it work." Okay, so she wasn't enitely magically uselss.
She blushed. "I'm not sure if I'm going to have th guts to hurt your brother enough to want to give it back...I need...motive." She shrugged. "I mean, I need to be angry at him enough to like, hit him or somethin." She was trying not to feel really awekward about this.
"Raziel?" Blue's hlaf asleep face suddenly became fully awake. "Yes! That is my name!" He tugged at Kieran's ear, carefull of the chains. "My name is Raziel!"
