"Of course," Moonstone repeated. "Yeah the king. As nobal and honorable as excriment can get. He rules with. Well, he rules because he is scarred of the world around him. He is not very good at making people fear him." He thought of the portly king. "Not a physical threat, and hardley a thinker. But enemies you say?" He shrugged. "Could just be a trick. Maybe he is your best friend."
Bode looked down at the ground. "I don't wanna stay with Piper. She killed Mommy." She looked at Piper as if the woman might strike out and kill her right there.

Piper had been walking casually with the little group, deciding to just keep her mouth shut for her own good as they went about their casual talk. Didn't bother her any...besides she was busy tracking who was tracking her. Double tracking, how annoying. Though she came to an abrupt stop, looking to Bode with one of those looks she had first been flashing when they first came to Labyrinth. A cross between shock and horror really, mixed in with a little disgust. And in comfort to herself as she stared at Bode she hooked her fingers under her collar and tugged.

"This Piper isn't like that. see..this Piper, belongs to Malik..and hey...I see a ring on that finger. Don't tell me that the bad, coldhearted, cruel Malik actually did something romantic like propose?"
A glance at Bode, and a hug.
"Besides..they have to get through me to get to you. even when I'm not here..see these big ears of mine hear a looooong way. even form teh arena if she hurts you I'll hear it and come save you."
Malik looked at Piper, and Bode..then back at Piper.
"Apparently you were a lot more vicious than we thought..and Onyx..first, you are becoming sickeningly cute with that child. and secondly, you can kiss my blue a** about that first comment."
And continued on his way, lightly pulling at Piper's arm.

She frowned lightly as she let Malik pull her along gently. "Is that all you can do Onyx? Try to throw insults and the like at him? Even your father showed a finer manner about Malik when he found out I love him. And he hates Malik. Do not tell me that you are that close minded about someone you have only heard stories about and never met or even know for that matter. Makes you look too eager and easy to judge." A look back to the cat. "And Malik does not own me." True, he owned her in his own way, but not out right owned her. If she decided to get up and leave then she could very well do that and Malik wouldn't force her to stay. Yeah, she was slightly offended.

"I think the child is good for him. I was beggining to think he was emotionally inept." A look at Piper to tell her he understood. He remebered the stories his mother had told him after all.
"Mother and Father had respect for you, Father perhaps hate, but Mother didn''t hate hate that''s for certain. I think she''d given up the emotion after a while." A smirk a Malik. "She holds to the fact that it Piper''s influence that made you...how did she put it? "Not such a tough nut."
"There are two Pipers?" She looked at the woman, with a sort of child like pearicing the soul sort of way. "OKay Gaurdian Onyx. I''ll stay with her if you say so." She wondered how she would feel once the big kitty was away, adn she was alone with the second Piper.

Malik smirked lightly.
"Your father and me have a long history. he nearly killed me as a small boy, and succeeded once after I claimed him for my own. I hate your father for what he did to me, and my family, and your father hates me for what I am and where I come from. And not without good reason."
Onyx snorted at his brother.
"I am not emotionally inept whatever that implies!"
Then a pat to Bode.
"For what Moon and Piper said..these Piper, from our home, kind of...took the place of the piper and malik that were here. replaced them. So this is a nice Piper, Though Malik is still a bad evil wretch b*****d."
"You really want me to cut off your tail, don't you."

"I''m about to cut off his tail..." Mumbled under her breath in agitation. She shook her head with a slight sigh. This day just kept flopping around on her. Bad, good, bad, good. Piper raised a hand to her jaw, touching lightly in test again. Nope, that was still trying to give her a bad day as well. Another sigh, brushing a hand through her hair before she looked back and down to Bode. "Look, the point is...I''m not going to hurt you...I just really don''t have it in me. Besides, I make it a point not to mess with anyone until they''ve crossed me first."

"I won''t argue with that." Moonstone rarely argued where he didn''t have too. He shrugged. "Plus, I doubt you would have enjoyed it if my Father liked you." Though he chuckled at Malik''s threat. "Civility I see is nonexistant for the moment." A poke at both Malik and Onyx.
Bode looked at the bad evil wretch b*****d, and with surprising boldness asked him a question. "Mr. Evil Malik Sir, do you have my fox? I would like to have it back."
She still kept close to Onyx, for fear that if she let go he might head off to the cerimonies early. "I miss my fox, Gardian Onyx."

"I have no such creature."
Malik gave a look to Moonstone, but said nothing more.
"Didn't we see those tracks by that place...Lostagrace? the little fox tracks? maybe that was your fox."
Onyx picked up the little raven figurine, and gave a look to Moonstone.
"think maybe we can summon it to us with Mom's totem? I've seen her summon Morelle a few times through her void, maybe this can work the same way."

Bode frowned. "Yes you do. You took it from me." Then the raven item came out and she pointed at it. "My fox looks like that!"
"You mean Mommy's familar? He died when mommy died. I don't have a familiar yet. Just my fox. It used to keep me warm at night, until Mr. Evil Malik Sir took it. He told me that I wasn't allowed to be warm, cause it would make me soft. And I was supposed to be hard, like a war..like a warer."
Moonstone had other suspicions about those tracks, but he didn't voice them. "I think she's talking about her own totem. It must be fox shaped." He studied the raven item a moment. "Perhaps we could summon Morelle then, and let Mother and father know where we are."

Fox? Nope hadn't seen a fox itself, she however was in possession of that little stone fox. Or rather was. Currently it was back 'home' in the pocket of her pants back there. But saying anything to that would be bad. After all, she highly doubted they would trust her and Malik to go back and get it or to go with them back. Not to mention she feared that if she opened her mouth right now, some not so nice things would come out. So she elected to remain quiet, hands clasped and playing with her ring.

"I have no such intention of letting them know where we are. If we did that, Father woudl be her in moments to drag us both back home and I don''t want to go home."
Onyx glared lightly at his brother, an dput the raven item back away.
Malik glanced back at Bode, grey eyes watching her.
"You must not have been paying much attention. if I did have it, I don''t now, nor now know where it is. if anything it''s probably back home. and thank you for clearly stating that you indeed do belong to us."
There was the Inn, coming up fast.

"Curb your tounge Malik. She said nothing about belonging. Just that you took some things from her, and said some things from her. I think there is a difference." He pointed at the child as they stepped through the inn doorway. "No collar, no markings, nothing that traces her back to your owenership."
She sniffed. She wanted her fox, she didn't like being cold. "I don't understand Mr. Evil Malik Sir. How do you own people? Poeple aren't proper..prot..people aren't things."

"I don't have to collar her, Moonstone. Her void is a method of control for those that know necromancy or dark power. that metal ring has tierdal runes on the outer edge."
then a glance at the girl.
"Some people are things, property. usually people no one wants or likes. like this place. see all the ones that look like Piper, or myself..with pointing ears? those white or red burns on them? those are brands. humans here used elves and dwarves as property, slaves. I use collars I control with a special glove."
A look at Piper. that I'm not happy and I'm going to start being REAL unhappy if you keep this up look was on her face.
"But we cna drop the subject. I have no real use fo her right now. she can be your twins puppy for however long."
Onyx looked about ready to gut Malik on the spot, and he was growling under his breath.
"After this if you don't mind we'll go 'home' with you and get her fox. and she'll be staying with me and moon until she's twenty one if it keeps her out of your hands."

"But Mr. Malik, how can you think that you are...um..master over other people? Even if you say it, it doens't give you the right." Powerful thoughts for a little girl eh? Ah well, her Mother used to discuss this particular topic with her a lot. She hadn't enjoyed being a thing that Malik and piper used as a tool, or a play toy.
But that was forgoten very quickly. She raised her hands in the air and yelled happily, "Yay! Twenty-one!"
"And if she comes to no longer fear you Malik? Will your hold be just as strong? With or without the magic to control the void?" He didn't want to let it go. but he'd leave that stamtment to boil. Whether Malik answered or not, he didn't really care.
"And she's not a puppy. She's a fox, obviosly."
