Eliot had stayed silent the whole time, not much concerened with the conversation. Why should she care about some skinny wizard? One had saved her life with reluctance and had not cared what happened to her afterward. She was sure he had never even noticed her when she left, or that she was gone at all.
Kat smiled up at moonstone, hopign for the chance to paint more wings, she loved putting her mark on other people as well as her self. And then she clued in to what the conversation was about. "Bode? That cute little girl? She's missing?" Her face fell, she might not be good with little kinds, she had always shunner her younger siblings, but she still cared for them. And Bode had made her laugh... She was... cute, was all Kat could think. She was sure the little girl was just a bubble of laughter and joy wherever she went... it was terrible to think she might be hurt someone where.

"Don't make me look rich. That's all. Clean, but not wealthy." He looked at his own clothes, they weren't that bad...oh well. He had other things to worry about than how he looked.
"I can ride any lizard. Animals like me." indeed they did. Now where was Mcgee?
O'Konner listened intently, nodding, noting things on the map and storing them in his head. He had a fairly good photographic memory. Either buy or make the kegs, he could do both. or ship them up from home, but that would take some time. The water would have to be hidden carefully, if they were ot simply going to dish it out, Couldn'yt let the townsfolk know they were holding out on them. No not a good idea.
Moonsotne looked to both Kat and Onyx, holding up his hands. "Uh, no thank you. I can do without the dye." Moonstone wasn't much into dressing hismelf up anyway. he prefered to just be himself.
"Yes, the little girl. Can' get a whiff of to wear she's gone."
"while I thank you for you're hospitality, and i will take advantage of it in the future, I must be leaving. I have an apppointment with a cousin to make." he winked. "I dare say she's expecting me."
He waved. "Good day to you all, and don't forget to name those dragons. They won't like to be neglected." He waved again, and left.

Malik nodded, and glanced at Piper.
"Dragons you can name. I'm afriad I'm not good with those kinds of names."
Though a smirk at Roarke. of course she was expecting him. she already knew where he was, when he was leaving and when he would get to see her. speaking of which, they had an appointment coming as well.
Onyx looked over his shoudler at Kat.
"Yeah, he's a prude when it comes to decoration. he didn't even like to wear facepaint for cowboys and indians."
Though at her face drop, he patted her on the head lightly. which ment he let go of his tail, which ment his tail tried to play with ththose rings throughher shirt again.
"Don't worry, we'll find her and get her back. that wha those wisps are doing. scourign all across labyrinth, looking for her. they'll find her and report back to me, or if they don't we'll know the place they have checked our coudln't check."

Piper nodded to Roarke as he left, turning her attention to Malik once he was gone. She nibbled on her cinnamon stick a moment. "Circa and Eket." Obviously her own elvish langauge to the sound of it. Yes, she had been thinking about it why half lulled, hadn't she? And she rocked on the heels of her boots once, clasping her hands behind her back, still chewing on her cinnamon stick. "And what do you mean by 'those kinds of names'?" What was he implying now?

Rydia blinked a moment as something red, small, and whispish floated past the window. She frowned, leaneing slightly to watch it pass. It did not seem interested in the keep. Why it struck her curiosity, she was not sure. A look around the study, to her father. He shrugged, and Rydia left the whisp alone.
Roarke soon found the keep without much trouble and knocked on the door. "It's your cooooousiiiiiiiin!" Smiling, he opened the door, Meilikki turned a smile on him. She sat in her chair by the firplace, and had another similar chair pulled up.
"Come and sit, dear cousin. Let us talk."
"Right into buisness, aren't you?"
"Well, I already know who you are."
Roarke chuckled. "Point taken. But I don't know you so...Hello Cousin Meilikki Stonewood. I am your distant cousin Roarke Blackbowman. Blood no longer has anything to do with it..."
"only talent." She smiled. "I knew you were going to say that."
"Ah well, touche. So...do you know what news I bring you?"
Meilikki frowned, steepled her fingers. "I do not. And it distrubes me."
He sighed, ran a hand through his hair. "I was hoping that this was an icolated incedant. Not part of this...weird...scheme of his."
"The hodded man?"
"I did some research. Met him...he said a few thigns...it's Dimitri, Meilikki. Dimitri Kosnietskov."
She did a good job of hiding her fear. "Dimirti? You are sure of it now? Didn't Ton kill him?"
"Apparently not."
She pinched the bridge of her nose. "Alight. What's the bad news."
"The conduit child is missing."
"Missing!?"
"Yes."
"You have to go get her! If she's with Dimitri,"
"I cannot."
"What?"
"I cannot. For one we don't kow if she really is with the hooded man.."
"If I can't see it, then it's directly realted to the dead."
"There are a lot of dead people, Meilikki."
The Oracle swore at him. "Why? Why won't you go look for her then? A conduit child, Roarke. She could destroy everytihng, if they learn how to harness her powers."
"I can't. The hooded man is ten, twenty times more powerful than I am. He woudl snese me comming from miles, hours away. And he's seen a lot of the future you predicted. He's prepared for just about anything."
"I didn't make the predictions. He saw, he made them. That is the flaw, no matter how powerful he is, there is too much of a chance for things to go worng. All you need to do is..."
"No."
"Roarke, you ar being unreasonable!"
"No, I'm not. I would endanger the child, rather than help her. He would use her to hurt me, stay my hand. Besides, Dimitri took the time to erase my memory of how I got there in the first place. I have no idea where this place is anymore. Eliot won't know either, since alaran took us through palces humans can't get. But it's a little worse. You remeber Warren?"
"The sickly little half-elf that I granted magical powers to in order to save him from a waisting desease?"
"That's the one."
"What of him?"
"Apprently, he's the one that actually took the girl."
They discussed this for a long, long time. Roarke filled Meilikki in with everythign he knew and had found out thus far, being careful to mention the Corn Fields that Eliot dreamed about. Some tiem later, they remebered a few things. First was that there were wizards in their employ, the other was that Rydia had been complaining about bordem. Soon, the girl and her father were sent out to search for the corn feilds. For their own saftey, they were not given any other instructions or warnings besides to find the palce and return.

"Simple. they are child names, cute, lovable child names. as I had neither brother nor sister that I knew very well, and no children of my own..and human names just do not suit dragons, I gave the task to you"
He walked to teh kitchen and dining area, and gathered a few things.
"While I may have had a few brothers and sisters, I don't remember thier names. I was young when Cymarron took my fmaily and nearly my life from me. all I can remember really of my natural family is how thier screams sounded, and how thier flesh did while being eaten or gnawed on."

Piper followed at a two steps behind pace. Well that made her shudder and overrode much of anything else. What a horrible thing to remember. Though she blinked at him, tried to keep conversation on the light side. "At least you had brothers and sisters at one point. Though the names I picked aren't exactly childish in meaning, they do sound rather simple and so on when said. The beauty of elvish I would say." A slight smile, even if she had to force it somewhat, crossing her arms, fingers of one hand lightly touching at the pouch under her sleeve edge. "So then, what happens where we're both stumped on names?"
Kieran elected to stay behind, crossing his arms and looking to Raziel on his shoulder once more. "Well, seems to be us who seek knowledge currently. Are you sure you wish to stay with me little friend? After all...I won't be staying here forever...and you call this place home."

"yes. for a short time I did."
that was softer, but thena grin, pointing his thumb toward Kieran.
"if we both get stumped, we'll ask teh walking library over there. I'm sure he's full of names for children, landmasses, weapons, races, food, clouds, waters, and so on, and so on."
A small laugh, filling his plate and settling down at teh table.
"Another wonderful use for all that knowledge."

"no my friend, this place is not home. Home is your shoulder." He crawled up Keiran's long hair, laid donw on th man's head. "I go where you go. Plain and simply. This place was only for as long as I had someone to serve." he shrugged. "One plane or a next, it means little to me. My soul is small and won't be much of a bother." A sentimental little fairy, we'll call it that. He patted the elf's head. "Plus, it sounds like you have a lot of...adventures."

A look back over her shoulder to her father who had in recent moments acquired those charming little head wings via Raziel's lounging. It really was attractive in a way. But she looked back to Malik with a little laugh as she was settling down at the table. Unlike him, she didn't have an appetite at the moment....besides, she was working on cinnmon at the moment. "Walking library indeed. He may be a bit wordy, but gotta love him." Piper perched herself on the edge of the table, kicking her legs lightly. "So how are you feeling thus far?" Oh she had a nice long list of things if need be.
He nodded lightly and laughed. "Home is also where the heart is as humans say. In all of thier odd knowledge, they certinally got that little piece right, didn't they?" Raziel was perfectly comfortable with climbing all over Kieran and Kieran was perfectly comfortable with Raziel doing so. Though another laugh. "Adventures? Maybe not as I used to do so in my youth...but I have the occassional one. Then again I suppose you can count wandering onto Drow territory and ruling a kingdom as well it's own sort of adventures. You'd at least never be bored. Much too much to do in Andal to keep both you and I busy."

"Indeed they did, dear friend, indeed. And it doesn't have to be an adventure by...action's standerds. Just as long as I've never seen it before then it's an adventure. Do I get to wonder into Drwo territory? that would be great fun."

"Tired. I t hink I'm going to call it an evening myself. It'll help me with not having..it..to grip all the time."
And he did look tired. mostly becuase all the energy, the stolen strength, power, from Malvlence wasn't there. and his body was having to readjust itself. which of course was why the large appetite. he ate what he had, rather quickly, and then smiled at Piper, getting up and leanign over to give her one of those thought stealing kisses.
"You're free to join me if you'd like, love."
and he stretched, and started heading upstairs, idly brushing fingers along her ear 'accidentally' while runnign a hand through her hair.

"Little Raziel, life is an adventure all in itself...one just has to know how to handle it and make the most of it. More so those of us with quite the lifespan to them." And a slight nod of his head. "Of course I'll take you to the peninsula at the very least. Quite the interesting place to be...not the most friendly but still interesting."
She shook her head at him, giving him a smirk. "Join you? Now why would I join you if you are tired? I would only keep you awake A'mael." A slight chuckle. "You do go on...I'll be up for a bit longer. Besides I need to talk to my father. Remember...don't touch it. I'll know if you've touched it." And she followed him out of the dinning room, watching him head upstairs before she herself returned to Raziel and her father. "Both of you still behaving?"
"Plotting but yes, behaving." A look to see Malik going off. "Not following him?"
"I thought I'd spend time with you two." A look over her shoulder before back to them. "He's working Malvolence out of his system still...so he's a bit off."
"The pleasure is ours then."

Eliot was waitng out side for Roarke. It wasn't her place to intrude she had said, and so had kept herself busy by being in her wolf boddy and snufflign about. She wasn't sure what she was lookign for, she wouldn't catch Warren's scent here, why should she bother. Feeling odd eliot curled infront of the Orical's door and waited.
Kat shrugged, for lack of knowing what to do. "She looked like such an angle, but I'm afraid I don't understand why there is a hole..." She looked to Moonstone. If he didn't want anythign that was fien with her, everyone chose to express themselves differently and that was cool. She batted Onyx's tail away, beginnign to get anoyed with it.

"Awe, she remebered me." He patted Kieran on the head. "She learns quickly." He smiled. "piper wanted to spend time with little Raziel and somehwat bigger Keiran? do tell what for." Curious, as always.
A big, green dragon snout ocked it's way around the corner of the Kepp, locking large black eyes on Eliot. Oh? He'd never seen this person before. Smoke curled up from his nostrals. He sucked in a great breath, and let it out in a big huff, moving what debris and dust lay around the place. He looked at her with the obvious question on his face. Who are you?
