Moonstone looked to his brother with a worried face. "Are you going to be able to fly?"
He waved a hand. "just brush out the burnt parts and will grow back in no time. We'll be a bit busy in the next little while to notice it anyway."
Moonstretched a wing. Gees, he had to do all that flying earlier, didn't he? Oh well, too late now. "Do you want to tkae a rest before we leave?" Honestly, it looked like Onyx needed it more than Moon did.

Ah she loved it, and was absolutely enjoying this. Times when she knew she held sway over him, she took her joy in. Besides, it was nice to know she made him feel good and forget his worries and everything else really for that matter. Besides...best to have him nice and relaxed for Roarke...because elvish Gods knew that he was particular about how things were arranged in his home and the like. Didn't need Malik yelling and getting frustrated...he had the tendency. "And I'll take that as a compliment thank you." A soft melodic laugh from her, working his shoulders as she pleased.
He took on a thoughtful look for a moment. "I suppose you're right. Good top side as well in certain situations. Gods knew Fianna knew how to get us out of some situation just with a look and a word." And on his own thinking the gold in Kieran's eyes flicked. Yes...it happened to all moon elves. Though Kieran couldn't deny that seeing a drow in a rather vulnerable state of being was quite intriguing. A soft shake of his head. "Pip you're something you know that?"
"I've been told that." Then a thoughtful look of her own. "But right I think I'm stuck on the fact that I'm in a dress...and I think I look good in it." Which was surprising to yourself when you hadn't worn one in a good fifty-two years. Yes, growing up indeed wasn't she?

Malik was effectively drugged right now enough to not be able to say much more then 'mmm', 'that feels good' and 'right there.' And at the dress comment, all he could manage was 'mhmm'. Yep, he was entirely at Piper's mercy right now. she coudl probably get anything she wanted.
Onyx flexed his wings, or at least tried to, and despite the effort he was apparently putting into it, they only just barely spread out. Onyx huffed a bit.
"Whatever the hell that blue flame was....it did a major number on me. I don't think I'll be going anywhere anytime soon."

Piper gave a laugh and let up on massaging, just letting her hands rest on Malik's shoulders now. "Now now A'mael, you have to be conherent. Though that should sate you a bit for at least an hour or so. And I'll give you more later..." It sounded innocent enough, but the tone said the statement wasn't at all really that innocent. Her mind had actually been working a few 'surprises' for him. Starting with a ring and going other paths of various thoughts.
And Kieran was trying not to laugh. Well at least he knew his daughter could affectively handle Malik when she needed to. Yes, these two would be fine together...and they would always be giving each other a run for thier money...which of course was a must have.

His eyes fluttered open a bit with a small grin. More later. oh yes there was going to be alot more later. for her too. he lifted his hand up and took hers, sitting up some and kissed it lightly.
"You spoil me."
And as a reward, as his hand slide form her, three cinnamon sticks appeared in her hand. and a look over at Kieran with a small grin, knowing that trying not to laugh look. though his hand had stopped twitching for Malvolence for now.
"tht reminds me. Broog said that you wanted to see him when your father got back. shouldn't you visit him? he wanted to make sure you didn't forget."

A blink and a look down at her hand, seeing the cinnamon and giving a grin. "You spoil me more I do believe." Well she was hoarding those. But then she had to take a moment to not get that pissed look and remain looking neutral to the tidbit. When did he talk to...hell. She told that ogre to keep it secret...then again as long as Broog hadn't mentioned purposes he probably assumed that it was perfectly harmless to say something. "I didn't forget. And I'll go see him...when I'm perfectly satisfied that you're occupied with something that keeps you at ease." A slight look to Kieran.
Yes yes, he would do his part...but of course Piper had a good plan going...wait till Malik was thouroughly occupied with something, drop off the diamonds so Broog could finish Piper's little present and then go about the days as if nothing was ever up in the first place. "Speaking of being back..." Kieran gave a whistle...he had left Nerian in the dinning room and wondered if the Zephyr had gotten himself into trouble. He was assured he wasn't when Nerian lazily walked from the dinning room over to the elf, munching a pear. Well his hooves weren't touching the ground. And Kieran gave a laugh from a little stir of wind. "Yes, I know, Serino won't let you."

Moonstone was a tad at a loss for words. :So...Simon wants you to go find his daughter, but you can't do it any time soon. I don't know Bode as well, it might be harder for just me to find her." He shrugged. "I can try I suppose." Wouldn't hurt to look, poor little girl, wherever she is.
"But what are you going to do? You aren't the type to sit around and wait."

"Maybe he didn't expect whatever that was to hit me this hard. I mean..I inherited mom's powers..demonic engery and spiritual often have nasty effects on eachother, right?"
He took a few stumbling steps. his legs really did feel like jello.
"I can take care of Ironsides...see fi I can't get himin teh stables past that stubborn horse of Piper's. I don't know what his problem is. maybe ask whirlwind to come over, that staff thing might be able to help. or the oracle you think? whirlwind is living with her."
Malik looked up at her.
"I'm at ease right now, go on, see what the big lug wanted. I promise I'll just sit here and eat fruit and that's all, on my honor as a Tier'Dal."
A bit of a smile, and another kiss on her hand.
"Besides. I'm too relaxed from your massage to want to move from this chair right now. I don't know where you learned how to do that, but I'm glad you did."

She gave a skeptical look but figured she wouldn't be winning on this one...besides she could think up several excuses and the like to cover for herself. "Alright...but I swear if I find you've left this spot..." She didn't need to finish the threat. "In fact..." She nabbed a passing slave, on of her own who was only about ten. "She's going to make sure you don't go anywhere." Didn't need a spying Malik. And a reassuring pat to the girl's slightly nervous self. "Don't be afraid to snitch on him either." Well she did have her ways didn't she? Piper walked over to Kieran though, taking him by the arm. "Come with me?"
Kieran smiled, letting his daughter take his arm in proper escort fashion. "But of course. No need to have you down there by yourself...and even if you did want to go by yourself, I wouldn't let you." A look over to Malik with a smile, chuckling lightly. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to give her back to you." And he walked off with her, heading further down into the place. Of course sure out of ear shot of Malik he laughed. "You think he suspects something?"
"I can't tell with him sometimes. He can be quite the mask of emotion sometimes...but stalling or objecting would indeed only bring his suspicion...and I want him totally oblivious to this really." And it was quite clear that her father had done some exploring in his time here...he knew right where Broog was.
Meanwhile the girl upstairs with Malik merely stood there quite obediantly, but wringing her hands slightly...she wasn't quite sure what she was supposed to be doing and if she was doing what she was supposed to be, was she doing it right? Confusing situations.

Malik listened and nodded and when the slave girl was pulled over, collarless...he smirked lightly. he didn't need a babysitter. but nevermind it.
"Don't be so nervous. why don't you get us a glass of wine each,and some fruit. I won't move."
Yes, relax, and quit staring at me like your a girl with a crush that doesn't know what to say. it's annoying.
Broog was in his room, workign away at the usual. making shineys. though at present, he was inlaying a very nice looking scimitar with gemstones. and by looking at him, you'd never know how childlike his mentality really was. looking at it through a single eyepeice, and with delicate looking tools. Tremor and Broog had become quick friends. Broog impressed with his 'sharp shineys' and tremor rather at least seemed impressed by broog's attention to detail in etchign and jewelry. So Tremor woudl make weapons and armor, and broog woudl detail it.

Nervous? Well she would never admit to being nervous but she wasn't going to tell him that. And hey, she got to drink, fun times. Which meant with the incentive she fetched what she was told to fetch. But her little brain was processing as well. Malik wasn't yelling at her, or throwing harsh looks, or threatening bodily harm. Well this was nice. So something to each and drink for each of them was brougth back and she was content enough with her little newfound knowledge to sit on the floor with somewhat of a little smile at herself, not really seriously watching Malik.
At the sight of the two, Piper tilted her head one way, her father the other which lead to the resulting collision of thier heads togehter with a thud. "Ow..." She rubbed at her head slightly, but didn't let go of Kieran...old nervousness died hard. And a hadn reached out to her father, as he dug in his pocket, then dropped the little bag into his pocket. And she cleared her throat to get the attenion of both. "Broog, can I borrow your time?" Asking? Of course...she was Piper.

Broog looked at Tremor, and Tremor took the blade. Broog had been done with it anyway, and it was gorgeous. the metal for teh blade was probably adamantium, or it was some kind of composite metal. didn't look like steel, too shiney. but would be kind of foolish to use mithril...that was good for armor, but the thinner metal used to do weaponwork made mithril a poor choice except for ceremonial peices. the hilt had a curved sweep to it, and broog had lined it with emeralds down to a wider bottom that had a bird of prey on it, the beak looking sharp enough to hurt someone by pummeling them with it.
Then of course Broog's full attention was turned to Piper, and a big toothy grin, and a clap of his hands.
"Doos da stones for da special ring Broog's gunna make fer Master Malik? Gives, gives!"
Huge hand held out expecting the bag, while the other grabbed his chest and drug it acors the floor, grating the metla edging on the stone a bit, popping it open and turning his attention to the box.
"Mez gots lots of da ringses. Just likes da mistress wanted, but Mez didn't know hows bigs to makes it. so me makes lots and da mistress can picks da right one"
And he set out a litteral little pile of them. about every male size that an elf can use, and about every stone setting broog's mind could think of. but they were all the same metal, and all had the incription like she wanted.
Malik was lounging, drinking his wine and eating fruit, ocassionally giving a look to the girl on the floor. he really didn't feel like moving. he was quite comfortable where he was. But, he did start to wonder what broog was doing for piper. she wasn't the kind fo jewelry. or maybe she was having something made for that dress. that must be it.
"What are you normal chores here, girl? I'm curious as to why you think Piper requested you be one of the uncollared ones."

Well...they were perfect little work partners weren't they? And hey, they could keep each other company. But of course at Broog's excitment she dropped the little pouch into his hand. "Yes indeed. See, I told you I would get them for you. Elves always keep thier words." Though a slight chuckle at his apparent over compensation on choices...then again he would, wouldn't he...he probably had fun doing it all too. And a hand was held out to Kieran. "Father, give up your hand." Another use for him. And hey...she generally knew Malik's ring size...she played with his fingers enough to know, and Kieran served as a good comparison as well seeing as him and Malik had pretty much the same all over build. Elves, wonderful creatures. Thus picking through the pile she went.
Kieran found it all overly humourous. But he indulged his daughter really, musing in his head all the while. "To think...my daughter getting married. You know...here I thought no man could possibly tame you in the least of ways. Shows me right huh?"
"Indeed it does. I'm just merely tough around the edges." And once satified with a size she let Kieran have his hand back and took to sepearting the similar ones out, then taking to looking at settings. Yay Broog's creativity. Of course it didn't take her long to pick what she wanted. The particular ring allowing a continuous line of stones to be set as a strip in the middle all the way around the ring, still allowing some silver metal to show on both sides. "This one Broog." And it was handed over with a smile.
She looked up from the nursing of her glass she'd been doing, bruhed a few strands of light colored hair from equally light eyes and swallowed the mouthful of wine she had. Yes she looked up to him, almost meeting his eyes but more so looking at a point over his shoulder. She wasn't that brave after all. "I work in the kitchen, and when there's no use for me there I clean or I tend in the stables. I'm too young for other things." Leave it up to him to interpurt other things. She blinked at him and shrugged lightly. "I don't know why she did really...but...maybe because I'm still little?" That was the best a child's mind could fathom really.

Broog nodded his head, and took the ring from her and out came his tools, his little eye peices, and he went to work on teh diamonds. mounting, cutting, edging, polishing. another gradn thign about his childlike personality. lots of imagination. none of the diamonds were cut the same way. refraction and relfection were tools to broog, and he cut them so that the light being caught by woudl could refract through it and reflect through the ones near it to give them a dazzling shine and fire. all in all, about two hours on teh gemstones and mounting them in teh ring. broog did work quickly, becuase all his focus went to the work. no eatting, no drinking, nothign but the ring and breathing. and even then Piper had to remind him a couple times to do that.
Malik nodded lightly.
"Your youth is a good reason. Piper dislikes collaring the young. and there's no need to fear me, child. as long as you are a good girl, and an obedient servant, I will do nothing to hurt you."
Okay, hand was starting to twitch again, and without the watchful eyes of Piper or Kieran, began to shift abit in his seat, sitting up some.

"I'm always a good girl and I always do what I'm told." Well hey, she was feeling braver with all of this now. Malik wasn't all that bad...when he wasn't slamming you around and breaking you. Thouhgh he had seemed to fall out of that habit really. Puzzled the lot of them but they all took it as a blessing. Though she perked up at his shifting, turning her eyes on him in attentive watching.
And now, Piper held the ring, looking it over in it's entirety, studying it from eveyr angle she could get the thing, making sure things were just so. Of course she couldn't help the little bit of amusement she as getting from Broog's anxious look. He was always wanting to please. Though his attention to detail and the like proved well, everything turing out just like she wanted. In one word..."Perfect." A smile to Broog, and a pat on the creatures head. "I love it Broog, thank you veyr much. Why don't you treat yourself to something for your good work?" A look to the cyclops. "And your friend too, eh?" Of course she took up the velvet pouch the diamonds had been in, dropping the ring into that, pulling it closed and tucking it under the edge of her sleeve. It was for later. And she took hold of her father's arm again. "Shall we? And if Malik asks, you were babbling."
"Right, babbling. I think he'd buy that."
