O'Konner rubbed the back of his neck. He wasn't really so sure about this...drow he had just met...there as no way he oculd possibly trust anybody here. Then again, the place was more protected then Deep Water, and much safer then Lostagrace..the need a place to stay for the night at least.."Look. WE will stay for a few days, all right? Just enough time to rest up and get on our way."
Moonstone gave a look to Malik. Hang around with HIM? He didn't have time for little girls. Gees, way to go Malik. He stopped purring and looked at Kat. Great, he was going to have a teenager handing aorund with him all day...for the next few days. He edged a little closer to Piper, sat on the floor, and leaned the his back against the side of her hair. "Keep petting?" It did feel really good.
Aells snatched the staff before Onyx could put his hand on it. "The same way you can evoke emotion through memory. You don't need to be able to feel emotion, just as long as you THINK you then you are vulnerable." She herself had a personal battle with the staff everytime she touched it, and had to force it back. She was one of few who could properly control it.
She looked around. "No I haven't met him. But if he's around," she forced herself to take his hand so that he could help her up, "Then he can meet us downstairs." She smiled. "I'm hungry and we have your brother to talk to."

What now he was inviting people to stay? Either he was scheming or he was...well sick. Probably the former. But a few last pen strokes and she closed the journal, sliding the piece of paper she had been writing on over to Malik as she leaned back in her chair, looking to Moon at his request and took to petting at him again as if it was nothing out of the ordinary. And of course a raised eyebrow look to Malik with that 'what are you up to this time' expression clearly there.

Kat smiled. Perfect. "That's the best thing you've said all day Daddy." She said to him. She pulled her knife out of her pocket, and a piece of the pured wood. She sat down right next too Moon and proceeded to widdle herself a new earing, quite like the one the soldier had given her for her little show. She was pretty skilled at it and it didn't take her long. It looked like a drop of fire, swirling in all directions but continuasly moving inward on its self. When she was satisfied she took a piece of metal from her poket and attached it to the end by gouging a tiny hole. She took out her old earing and put that one through, usuing a piece of rubber to hold it in place. She looked up and smiled at her father. She then proceeded to pick up moons tail and play with it.

Malik rested his hand on Malvolence.
The girl is infactuated with Moon. if he and moon hit it off..or maybe onyx if moon shows no interest...then she might be a way to get better prices or more cattle out of her father.
A small grin to O'konner.
"any room on teh secondfloor, save for my own, the twins rooms they have claimed, and Piper's father, are available. teh servants will tend to your needs, and I will leave you to that. I had another delivery that I need to attend to."
Tarathiel's. which ment dealing with caution.
Onyx came down stairs with Whirlwind, nodding to his brother and moving into teh kitchen and the dining area to let Whirlwind get as much to eat as she woudl like to have.
"How do you think we should go about tell him?"

She would really be glad when she wouldn't need that sword as a link between them for telepathy purposes anymore. Sure, she let him keep it and use it but she never liked the thing. And the less she had to include it the better...besides, it bit. And you think he'll give into her whims...I don't know about that...they seem a bit...well they don't see eye to eye it seems. What? She knew outright rebellion when she saw it...she had expressed it enough. Then a total look that was a cross of worry and displeasure all at the same time. She knew what he was talking about. "You can't just pretend it never happened?" Indeed, she would express her dislike of the particular drow easily.

"No...if anything, we can use the steel box, have it melted down for currency. but that means letting what's in it, out of it. and the note says it's a armorsmith and weaponsmith named Tremor. eats small animals like birds. I think it's a cyclops. but first, I need to make sure I cna at least control it enough to be able to have him put down without him rampaging through the building."

O'Konner nodded his thanks, but was immidiatly weary. Why would someone he had hardley met be willing to house hoim and his daughter like that? He did not like it, anymore then he liked the yees Kat was making with the cat creature. He did NOT want his dughter getting herself mixed up with an animal. "Come Kat. We will find a room." Another thought. "Or two." A protective father he may be, but he also had the decency to offer his daughter her own room. He prayed that it wasn't a mistake.
Moonstone watched the widdling, but was not all that impressed. He did not like the way she spoke with her father, like she could control him. Moonstone was very loyal to his parents, and not that he could feel, he realized that he loved them beyond reason. He would do anything for his parents. Gosh, he kind of missed them alot. Maybe Rand and Cymarron would be here soon to visit. Moon furrowed his brow, and pulled his tail out of the girl's grasp. "That's not for little girls to be playing with." No indeed, he didn't want his tail to look like it was interested in children.
Aella was rarelly given the chance to eat all she wanted, even at Stnekepp, where it was growing more and more difficult to get food. In the harem, she had almost always been hungry. She leaned her staff against the table, but did not muhc feel like sitting. She pulled a bit of meat off a bird, she wasn't sure what kind it was, and started to tear of little strips to feed herself.
"Just...try asking him? All sweet and depressed like."
Morelle had remembered his orders, if Onyx had not. He was currently on his way to bring the raven item back to its master. How long it would take, he as unsure. The skipping across time and therefor multiple time streams was..well..it was time consuming.

Malik got himself up and looked over the paper from piper, that buisness done and heading down to the room the steel crate was in. Of course the crate was in the first room, as they would put it in the first available room. He went inside, looking at the crate, and slipping on the master gauntlet.
"Tremor. I was informed you are a master armorer and weaponsmith. Is this correct?"
Onyx shook his head.
"I tried that..well...a little more discreetly, but he basically said he wouldn't give them up. at least not if it was just me asking. And I don't think he'd be willing to try what I think I can do for fear of losing them as well. but do you want me to call him in here and see what we will see?"

((Az gave me 'control' of the cyclops for this purpose.))
The cyclops drew in one long, large breath, it's mass of flesh weezing. "Correct."
"Oh, I see." She put some bird in her mouth, chewed slowly. Tasted good. She shrugged. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt...but calling him in might get him suspicious. We don't want him to get defensive."
"Is there another way you can get his attention...approach the subject delicatly?"

Ah good. it had a brain.
"And you know why you are here, I would think. and what that collar on your neck indicates. what kinds of things can you craft armor from, Tremor?"
Onyx grinned lightly.
"Moon knows me better than that. I've never been delicate if I try, he's going to know I'm up to something. unless you want to try to approach him on it."

That weezing breath again, and he blinked very slowly. "Yes."
"Whatever I am told to."
She whipped her hands on a cloth, but her shaking betrayed her nervousness. "I ah...I haven't really talked to him much either. He might not take well to me either."
She fiddled with her face viel. She didn't like the thought of using someone like this...much less the person she was thinking of...."What about this little girl you mentioned? Bode? Maybe she would come off as...innocent enough to broach the subject."

"we could try it. but we'd have to find bode first. can your staff thing locate her, summon her to us? or maybe bribe her...tell her we'll try some of her cooking, she'll come running at that."
But he did notice her shaking.
"Are you okay, whirlwind?"
Malik nodded..and opened the crate, ready to use that collar or Malvolence.
"Well then lets get you put to some work."
And he stepped inside, undoing the shackles that bound him to the crate he was sent in, and stepping back out facing this new servant.
"Come on out, then."

"Yeah, it could find her." She picked it up, waved it, and one of her little wind sparrows formed. It sat on thet table, looking at the teo of them a moment, then flew off. "At least, it should be able to find her. As long as there aren't a lot of little girls in this building.
She nodded, rubbed a hand down one arm. "Yeah...I'm all right." WHat was she nervous about? A number of things she supposed. One being near Onyx, no matter that he couldn't feel the emotions, he had still kissed her. The other was using a little child, she just had to hope she wouldn't have to make the girl do anytihng bad. Last? What they might have to do to Moonstone. She was sorta hoping that they could just...convince him to give it back. She wasn't sure though, that it would work.
A few minutes later, Bode came into the dinning room, the little sparrow held in her hand. "Gaurdian Onyx! Look! A little birdy was talking to me!" She was covered in flower, obviously having just come from the kitchen.
The mass lumbered out slowly, in no hurry, but obviously obying without a problem. Tremor was ready and eager to work.

Onyx grinned at Bode, and patted her on the head, picking her up and setting her on his lap, despite all the flour.
"whirlwind here makes those to find people and deliver things. We have a big task for you little Bode. we need you to talk to Moonstone, and tell him we want to see him about him giving back my emotions. Can you do that for us? convince him to come talk?"
Malik nodded. Yes, a Cyclops alright. decent sized one too. not only would he make a fine addition, but even a decent defender if needed.
"Do you have a specialty in armor or weapons, Tremor? a particular type your exceptionally good at?"
A hand on Malvolence, and a message to Piper.
It's completely docile. this one is used to being a slave. now the question is, what's the real reason it was sent here. what trick does he have up his sleeve for it.

She was reading over what she had wrote from her father's journal and was rewritting it again. Why? Because in her little focus on translating...she completely forgot sentence strugcture...which made it look like a five year old was writing down broken sentences that popped into it's head. Oh good lord...it hurt the brain to just try and read it. Though she looked up, blinked once and shook her head. That's my point exactly...I don't trust anything at all at this point and I don't intend to...strange enough things have been going on as it is... Even the little sound of bitterness was in her thoughts about it all. Anything of Tarathiel's is first on my list of avoidence.
