"Well yes...fascinating as well I would say. Then again everything fascinates me." Kieran shifted a little...good lord that woman had a tight hold on his short cut surcoat. She really wasn't handling this well was she?
Grass, tress, sunlight...did he have to say all of that? She couldn't help but be jittery...Nerian was handling this better than her and the Zephyr was a coward to the core when it came to most things. "You've been down here before Raziel...it's not so bad to you...but I've never even thought about such trips as these." But how could she turn down a chance to see her daughter? She couldn't. Though she didn't know if she believed the flower thing. However she was quite fond of Raziel since the day she met him and did take comfort in his attempts to help out. What bothered her the most maybe was her vision. Sure, she could see better than a human down here, but not as good as Kieran.
A small chuckle at the mentioning of Andallian fields...Raziel sure had taken a liking to those, hadn't he? The familiar was part of the reason for the extra stay time. Let Raziel have his fun while Fianna got her nerves in order and established a trade route among themselves and several other places across Andal. Sometimes it paid to be royalty.
Well that made her forget the current plague of her mind with a soft moan, letting her eyes slide half closed. Apparently she was still drugged off the night before, and rightfully so. But with a sigh she turned in his hold, leaning against him and lacing her arms around his waist. How faint was it? Quite faint indeed...but still there and growing ever stronger it seemed. Ugh...Another sigh from her. "Silvercrest and Swiftfeather have decided to pay us a visit...they're back. I can feel them." Oh she didn't sound too happy at all, did she?

Poof. The two imps phased in to sight, one to either side of Zahara. They had been keeping a close eye on the drow female. Why? They liked her. Much like they liked Piper.
"Who's nothing Star Flower?"
"Yeah, everything looks pretty solid up here to me." Jell put a hand over his eyes and squineted out over the grounds. "How long you think before he descovers I ate a pair od his boots?"
Jaun looked at a curious object strapped around his wrist. A quick trip to Kat's hometwon had aquired him this little time tracker. "Oh, not long I'd say. As soon as he opens that wardrobe to get dressed."
Jell smiled. "Man, it tasted good."
"I bet. Are we all set and ready for a chase?"
Inside and out. He can't touch us out here anyway."
They turned their attention back to Star Flower. "So, what's a happenin'?"
He crawled off Keiran's shoulder a moment and onto Fianna's, he hugged her neck. "It'll be allright. It's not bad down here. Sometimes, there is this really big green dragon. I don't know what he's like, cause I can't hear what he says, but he acts all gentalmen like when he's not angry. And then there are the stone gardians at the Fortress. Those are pretty keen. Or the forest outside of Lostagrace. It has a certain..mystic charm."

She glanced at the two imps and shook her head, "Nothing's nothing. Nothing at all." Well that made a lot of sense, didn't it? "Don't you two have something to destroy? Stairs to throw yourselves down? Walls to bang into? Strange things to eat? Oh wait...you ate a shoe? Who's shoe?" She shook her head and glanced off into the horizon. She shrugged, "I'm just...sitting. Sitting here doing pretty much nothing. You know what I mean?"

"Oh, we've done most of those things today. We're just relaxing a bit." There features dropped. "Why, don't you like our company, Star Flower?"
Jell smiled, and pulled a shoe nail from his pciket, picking his teeth with it. The mean one. that's what he gets for hurting you like that."
"We didn't like that."
Then Jaun scratched his head. "Uh, well, we understand the "pretty" part."
"But could you be more clear on what "doing nothing" is?"
"That concept is...forigen to us."

She sighed, and then it dawned on her. "You ate Malik's shoe?" Well that was some much needed news. "Doing nothing is...just sitting around and not really doing anything. You just sit and be quiet and you don't throw anything or say anything or move anywhere. You just sit still." Now that she said it all out loud she could see why the concept was so foreign to them. They probably hadn't done nothing their whole entire lives. They were very 'doing things' kind of imps. Moving around and throwing things. Everything opposite of doing nothing. She smiled a small sm ile and leaned down wrapping her arms around Jell's neck. "You ate his shoe." She hugged him tightly and then let go feeling a little bit odd. She had just hugged the imp. of her own free will.

Fianna sighed and turned her head to look at the little feathered wing fairy. Dragons...that didn't sound bad...unless it at elves. But she held her tongue to tell him that she didn't see any charm in this. "Everyplace...has it own charms I guess, Raziel." That was the wood elf trying to be positive. Though the slight shake in her voice wasn't so convincing sounding. Was that place closer? Well she could see it now. She just had to remember that she had Kieran and Raziel with her...she'd be fine...right?"
Kieran hugged his beloved Fianna. Poor thing was going to pieces but in a silent reserved way. One hand reached up to pull the hood of her cloak down. "Well if you didn't hide in your cloak you could get a better view and see what he's talking about, A'mael." A slight chuckle from him. "Besides...the shoulder angel says so and you have to belive him."
That actually got a soft laugh from her as she reached a hand up to pet at Raziel some. "Point taken Kieran."

"Well, both shoes actually. I left the nails though."
They both just blinked at her when she taked about doing nothing. "Isn't sitting doing something? And 'not talking' is technically doing soemthing too. I tried plaing that game once. I nearly went insane!"
"Insane imps are not very nice imps."
Jell got hugged, and he squealed with joy. "Star Flower likes me, Star Flower likes me!"
Jaun went wide eyed, and held oput his arms. "ME too! Me too! You like me too, right?" They both wore terribly cute grins, simply so happy to have some attention thrown their way.
"This place is over flowign with charm. there's an Oracle to the South West that I here is quite nice, altohugh she's a tad hard to reach." He looked up to Kieran. "We'll have to visit her sometime, just to say hello."
He blushed when Fianna pet him, like he always did. No matter what species you were, a female's touch was always soft and fragrant. He kissed his finger tips, and placed his finger tips to Fianna's cheek, which was as far as he'd go without completely falling voer and his body turing purple. He switched shoulders again, hiding closer to Keiran's neck as they reached the fortress.

"Both shoes? Oh you are fantastic!" Served the b*****d right. He needed his shoes eaten, dammit. She should have known they wouldn't get the concept of sitting still and that they wouldn't like it. She laughed softly and grabbed Juan and hugged him tightly too, then grabbed Jell and hugged htem both together. "There, I like both of you. Happy?" She let them both go and then something made her ruffle their hair. "What are you two doing? Hiding from Malik before he comes and eats you?"

Kieran nodded. "Yes, perhaps we will. Even I haven't seen the famed Oracle of this place yet. Bet she's a wonderful woman though...or horribly mean. Oracles tend to go either one way or the other." He was musing again, wasn't he?
Well...Kieran's musing was at least comforting. It always had been...or maybe it was just her that found his voice overly soothing in an abosolute wonderful way. And then a smile at Raziel as he gave her his version of a kiss. Normally she would grab him and kiss his head...yes she liked to watch him blush purple it was adorable.
He let Raziel settle himself in normal fashion as Nerian stopped for a moment, the little group standing on a cliff that looked down on the fortress. For a moment he surveyed the place. Seemed all was quiet except imps that were on the roof...with someone. Now who was that? "Well...shall we?" An elvish word to Nerian to get him on the move again.

She nodded, "Well I can certainly understand that. He can be very mean sometimes and it seems to me that he needs someone to eat his shoes every once in a while." She smiled at the two imps and then stood up on the roof, walking a bit. "So imps, what games do you have in mind today?" Lolth knew what they were thinking of breaking now. They'd already destroyed his china, how about his furniture? Or maybe something even more valuable. The thought made her giddy. she wanted to destroy him but that wasn't an option. She'd just egg the imps on and let them do the destroying for her.

"We're not sure at the moment."
"We might wait until the mean one notices and comes after us."
"Then we can have fun destroying things while he chases us."
"Which would make him angrier!"
"Which is really funny."
"Course, there is that rug in the main foyer..."
"Didn't Piepr tell us not to touch it?"
"She never said anything about setting it on fire."
"Ooo, that would totally rock!"
"Yes, lets. As wonderful as the surface is, I enjoy seeing my friends." Well, Malik was still suspicious of him, he was sure. But Piper liked him, Piper had saved him. It would be good to see her agian too.
Hmm, his own little family. This didn't seem like a bad deal at all.

Zahara shook her head, she hadn't thought about that. Technically Piper lived here too which meant everything the imps destroyed was Piper's too. Except malik's personal items. "Don't do anytihng to upset Piper. She's the reason I'm here and she's been really nice to me even though every instinct has told her to get rid of me. I like Piper so don't hurt her." She gazed off into the distance again and then said, "Besides, I don't think fire would be such a good idea. How would you put it out when it got out of control?"

"Oh...well...then what are we gonna have fun with?"

"Well said little friend. Well said." Though the closer they got the more he noticed Fianna pushing back into him...good lord she was going to push them both off Nerian if she kept this up. But Kieran had Nerian taking it slow down cliff paths. A pat to Fianna's shoulder. "Everything will be fine Fianna...you have my word. And you know I never break that." Yes he knew she was more worried than she was letting on.
Fianna sighed, raising a hand to tuck honey brown hair behind her ear and pull at her cloak a little to pull it closer to her body. She had to belive that he was right...that it all would be fine. Though how could it...look at where her daughter was and who was her company for that matter. Yes, Kieran had told her it all. Malik, Imps, Vah...it was a lot to digest.
