Meilikki left her work long enough to step outside and speak with her dragon. He asked if she would be all right in the upcomming events, adn the Oracle confirmed tht she had Warhammer and Aella to protect her.
The dragon pray that she was right, because he would not be able to handle another capture.
The large mass of flesh thrust himself into the air, it took him little time to reach the wolf girl, as he was faster than his baby sister.
He landed beside Eliot, and greeted her.

Eliot got up from her spot beside Warren, her legs wobbled.
"I guess I was able to do sometihgn after all..." She pointed over at Warren, unconscouse or asleep she didn't know.
"Can you help me? Neither of us have any strength left, would you carry him soemwhere safe?"
She wanted to sleep, so badly, she had forgotten that she as well, needed to go to someplace safe.

Well now, that was easy. He bent his head down, and gently hoocked a tooth through Elito's clothes, and placed her on his back. Reaching out, he took Warren gentlty in his claws. Unlike his sister, he had working thumbs. At elast working enough to hold on to things like people.
Eliot sat comfortable behind the spines on his back, and she could easily lay there and sleep, and not fall off. No, Tanundra was an easy flyer, usually prefering efficiancy to aecrobatics.
Hold on Eliot, we are heading home.

Eliot patted The dragon's scales. "Wake me when get there...k?" And one last look to make sure Warren was alright, she promptly feel asleep.

"there's no such thing as coincidence with that man. nto to mention he has the oracle at his service. she prolly kew everything that woudl happen and he just sent somone to collect her after the escapade."
Onyx landed soundly in front of the Keep, force of impact makign him crouch and dig into the ground with his claws, eyes shimmering red. he wanted Bode back, and now.

She stared at him for a moment, his words taking a moment to sink in. How dare he? He was a male and she was a female! He had no right to question her, no right to even speak to her in that tone. "Lotha ligrr? Lu'oh kuuv dos telanth ulu uns'aa saph nindel? L' an'yuil dos lac orn naut tlu belbaunin ulu dos. Nin mumbaro doeb d' ussta i'dol. Usstan daewl ulu kyorl Piper." She adopted the age old feminine position of hand on her hip and one eyebrow raised. She'd never before encountered a male who did not jump to do her bidding, at least not one who lived to tell about his defiance afterwards. It quite unsettled her. And he wanted to know who she was? She had no intentions of telling him. Instead she regarded him haughtily. "Nin mumbaro doeb d' ussta i'dol xor dos orn kyorl ussta jusron lotha jaluk."

Piper heard her name in all what she could call babble and her attention left imps who ran off to do Gods knew what. By the tone of her voice she didn't sound too thrilled at all with Malik. Well...she'd give Malik once chance to be good...just one and she wasn't sliding on it at all. Crossing her arms lightly she let her head tilt as she watched them both. Interesting indeed. Hm...she wished she had her father's books right about now.

"Dos inbal nau ditronw ulu kyorl jalbol, l'essnil. nindol zhah ussta Qu'ellar, Usstan tlun senger ghil, naut dos, ligrr."
And he stayed put in fact, he reached and poked her in teh chest lightly with his finger.
"Dos ph' ghil a ussta bwael elamshinaen. naut Piper's. xuat talinth whol natha klew'nor Usstan orn'la naut zirn dos ulu Ramoth whol dosst usstan'sargho. Nin dos tesso uns'aa vel'uss dos ph', lu' vel'bol dos xun, xor Usstan orn inbal dos enrothe whol ussta ehmtu ssrigg'tul a l' ul'nussten 'zil dos lassrinn."
And Malik stood quite firmly in her way, arms crossed and glaring at her. arrogant woman. thinking she was so high and mighty. she wasn't going to waltz into his home and try to usurp his authority. over his dead and ressurected body.

Obvioulsy he wasn't acquainted with teh way this was supposed to work. She told him to move, he moved. But no, he had to be difficult. And how dare he touch her? That was a crime punishable by death! She glared at him for a moment more and then moved slightly so she could see Piper behind him. Remembering she wasn't very good with her native language she said in common, "I wanted to thank you once again for your kindness in allowing me, a virtual stranger to you into your home. I am very grateful for your offer but I think I should be on my way." Zahara ignored Malik completely. He had no reason to know her name or the House she belonged to and certainly had no reason to know anything more of her past. "If you wish to speak to me, address me properly or not at all." And that's all she said to him before she turned her attention back to Piper."Piper D'Vinn, your kindness will not be forgotten." she said using the formal address of Piper's full name.

Piper pinched the bridge of her nose. What the hell had he said anyway? From the words she could pick up she didn't like what she heard anyway. But she wasn't going to let Malik's authority issue usurp her own running plans. One of those looks to him, eyes slightly narrowed and arms crossed...before she popped him with the back of her hand in the arm none too gently and sighed. "Circa, Eket."
The two little dragons popped around from thier own little observational places and came to skid to a stop in front of Zahara, making thier own little dragon noises to her and to each other. They knew thier job and they were doing it.
She set her hands to her hips and looked to Zahara. "Are you sure that's a good idea Val'Ril? After all...Labyrinth is only so big, you have no means to cross planes, or you would of already, and you're on the hit list of your Drow kin. Currently you are in a place where the defenses are so thick...well no announced kin of yours will be stepping one hundred feet in the perimeter." No, she wasn't going to make an excuse for Malik, because things here didn't work like in Drow society and she would just have to learn that one thing.

"So the little girl speaks common. how pleasent."
Said in probably the most sarcastic tone he could come up with.
"The defesnse to my home have recently been upgraded. nothign is getting in this place without me knowing about it, she's correct. but if you intend to stay, you better learn something. Lloth, or her ways, have no place here. I am the lord of this House, and when I ask things the leader of a house should know, you will answer me."
a glance over to piper. he was trying to be nice, really he was.
"So tell me your name, and what your occupation was before you were going to be put under the dagger."

Piper was right and she knew it. She had nowhere to go and no way to cross planes which would be the only way she'd be truly safe. Someone would find her, someone would alert her kinsmen and they would come after her full force. One slotted for sacrifice was not to escape and if they did, they were found, brought back and the sacrifice carried out. She had no intentions of letting them do that with her and it seemed the only way she'd be at all safe was to stay here and deal with the arrogant Drow before her. Glaring at him with narrowed eyes, she said in a cool voice, "As I'm sure it is apparent to you I am not a little girl. My name is Zahara Val'Ril and I was to be a High Priestess to the Queen." She regarded him for a moment and then said softly, "Fine. But ask something you do not need an answer to and you will not receive an answer. You do not like it when I am condescending to you. Kindly give me the same consideration." She had to get her last little dig in, now didn't she? It was too much for her to handle, a powerful man, talking to her like she was nothing more than a child. yes, she understood ways were different, but breeding went deep and it would take her a while to remember that here she was not higher than all males. Turning her gaze once again to Piper she said, "You speak the truth and I fear although I greatly wish I had another option I do not." Her hsoulders slumped briefly but soon seh straightened. "I will stay because I have nowhere else to go that is safe."

See, that's what she meant by 'off' Zahara seemed to possess much less fight and more compliance than any Drow Piper had come across in twenty years of playing around in the Underdark. But she nodded, dropping her hands from her hips and calling the two dragons by thier elvish names again and they seemd to loose interest in Zahara...or were simply making it look that way. And a nod of her head to Zahara, a slight smirk of her feeling that she was accomplishing something for a moment. "It would do me no good to lie to you, now would it?" And a look to Malik. Sure, he may be trying...didn't mean he was being too successful about it. A bit harsh for her liking, but she had to give him credit.

"Fair enough, priestess. as soon as you find yourself a better option feel free. I won't go into the services a slave can provide, as I'm sure you know all about that. but no sacrifices here. Innoruuk has no need of those. and try not to annoy the ogres or the cyclops. they'll have no problem putting you in place."
He went to the kitchen to get soemthign to eat, yes he was a bit short fused. Two days now without Malvolence will do that. even as mellow has he can get, he was still going through withdrawls.

She glared after him thikning all sorts of evil thoughts. He deserved to die for his insolence but Zahara wasn't going to be the one to do it. The relationship between Piper and the male confused her. Mates were nothing new to her and neither was the practice of making sure his mistress approved before he continued on teh path he was on. The Drow had glanced at Piper for some sort of confirmation before he'd continued. She'd seen the look exchanged, Piper wasn't entirely happy. And then she let him speak for her. No, this house was nothign like her own city but maybe that was a good thing. Maybe she was finally among her own 'kind.' She glanced briefly at teh dragons before her but said nothing about them. If Piper wanted guards around her then so be it. She knew only what Zahara had told her and even that might not be fully the truth. In her situation, Zahara would have done the same. But that Drow infuriated her and she could certainly see future battles with him. "Is he always like that?"
