And he grabbed onto it, getting right next to her.
"I can smell him. his scent lingers around you like a cloak. none of the others are near so strong about you. I don't spy on you."
He snarled light and turned his back on her.
"Always someone else. back home, it was Father, here it's Warhammer. always someone that I can't compete against, always someone that takes everything. back home I coudln't do anything. I coudln't go anyplace. no one would do things becuase they watned to, no it was becuase they feared our father. here, I can't do anything becuase I don't have the power, the strength, of those like Warhammer. I'm a weakling compared to them. just another shadow. even my fur is dark, just makes it easier for me to just blend in and disappear."
A snort, and he plopped on teh floor.
"I wanted to come here to be something special. To be someplace where I could be something, anything, more than just a shadow. but that's what I am. another shadow in a world that's nothing but. I wanted to help, and all I seem to do is make everything worse. tried to get you away from one owner to have you taken by another. tried to give moonstone emotion, and he hated me for it. tried to protect Bode, and warren took her. Fall for someone, and it's the one person that will probably never feel the same due to thier past. And everything I say comes out all wrong and just makes everyone angry with me."

The beat of her nails almed quite a bit until it was merely a tap every minute or so. "Well, that's certinally more like it. And look you didn't turn colors, I don't think you're going to drop dead any second, adn if I"m not mistaken, I don't belive you were struck by lightining or any other element. These myths that you belive will occur if you're actually nice, have just been proven false. You Malik D'Vinn are perfectly fine." She couldn't help but throw a barb or two at him. After all, he'd been such a jerk to her earlier. She smiled sweetly, thought about it for a minute adn then said, "No. No I really don't think I want to go train with Kimmuriel. I rather like being here."

He got an affectionate nuzzle for his compliance from her as well as a slight spark of gold from her eyes. It was nice when he didn't feel the need to fight everything at every step. She was enjoying just lying in his arms for the time being as she was recovering herself from their little foray into unknown territory. THough she held back an exasperated sigh at Zahara...she was antagonizing and being difficult...or blatantly honest. So in effort to try and quell an outburst her hand gripped at his shoulder.

She jerked the staff back out of his hands. How amny times did she have to tell people not to touch it?
"So sorry I've found a freind who requires nothing out of me."
"You're only a shadow because you believe you are a shadow. Do you see me not doing what I pelase because I fear someone? I was never told to come here, and read with you, you know."
"Think I am any different? Who am i living under, who am I following. A rabbit with gangrine would be able to controle this staff better than I can. I just don't care. I don't care of soemone is better than I am. Fine. I'll be myself thank you very much."
"Who do you want to be? Do you want to be Warhammer? Or your father? I myself, can't see me as anybody else."
"Things take time, Onyx."

Eliot nodded her head.
"Yes. They fight us because they are envious. They cannot have what we have. And if they can't have it, then no one can." she sort of shrugged while screwing up her face a little, 'They believe that we are somehow better than them, and the only way for them to rise in status is to get rid of us." She tapped her lip, "But it is their actions, not their bodies, that make us different."
She looked to Warren. "You are tired as well, you may have the bed, I will sleep on the floor where I always do." She started to get out of the bed slowly.

Warren picked up his crutch and tucked it under one arm. "Ah, no no. That's okay. I'll go take one of the other rooms, for now. You uh...you go ahead and sleep in that one." He stood up on wabbling legs, and slowly made his was to the doorway. "You need the rest more than i do right now, anyway."

Eliot blinked, a little confused. "But this is your bed... wont it be more comfortable for you? You can't possibly have your strength back. I really don't mind the floor, I'm used to sleeping there."
She jestured to where her cloak was, she pursed her white lips. "I'll be quite comfortable right there."

"It's not really my bed. It belongs to Tarathiel, or the Oracle, or whoever owns this keep." He waved. "It's fine really. A bed is a bed."
He got to the door frame, leaned against it a moment to rest. "You stay there. It will be better for you."

Eliot was touched by what seemed to be concern and caring coming from Warren. But she posed him a simple, yet dificult question.
"Why?"
She saw no problem, she had had wounds before, and always had slept in her cave. Sure she would sleep on her back isntead of all curled up, but thats still where she had slept. Plus she had gotten used to Warren being there in the mornings when she woke up...

He lifted an eyebrow. "Uh...because you're already in bed? Really it's fine." He waved from the doorframe and disappeared into the other room.
"It's not a big problem. You can stop worrying yourself about it."

Eliot wilted a little, but didn't say anything and snuggled down inter her bed. She supposed her made sense, she already was in bed.
But in the dark, she felt very alone.

"I'm tired of waiting. but what's a decade to a half elf. what's twenty years to you. you guys live for like..thousands of years. It's nto about being better. it's about being equal. How can someone care for another that can't even keep them safe from harm? Even friends watch out for one another. lovers more so. and the frist real enemy we came across acted like I was barely worth the effort to move out of his way."
A sligth rumbling sound.
"Being a shadow is not about being lesser in a sense that they are better than me, but that I can't hold my own footing. how woudl you feel, if someone came in there, and wanted to take teh Oracle, and you were swept away like you were just an insect. It felt like I had just wasted my whole life. all the effort I put inot learning to fight, and to hunt, and to be someone that would make a good mate or a good friend in hard situations was meaningless."
Malik bit his tongue, and just gave her a dirty look instead.
"You didn't answer the question though. can you do that, or can you not?"
Oh he just wanted to jerk that collar so bad. just to get even with her smart mouth.

"I don't know what a decade to a half-elf is. I have no idea how long I'll be living. It varies." She crossed her arms. "And just what am I supposed to to do? Obvioulsy me telling you I liike you the way you are isn't going to work, as it seems you don't want me to like but someone that you'd like to think is you."
"So you've tried, and now you're giving up. Is that it? What would have happened to me if I decided to give up a year after I was captured?"
"If you are so concerend with your abilities compared to toer people, you'll never get anywhere. Wherever you go tehre will be someone wosre than you. Whever you go there will be someone better than you."

That got a bit of a curious look at her.
"It's what we were taught. that you should be strong enough to support those you care about. that if we had a mate, it's our duty to provide, and to fight agasint those that woudl do harm. that we should always be able to defend and back up our friends and packmates."
A look up to her.
"It means a lot to me, to think that you like me no matter what. I just don't want to let you down again. I don't want anything to happen to you. but then I feel like an outsider, not good enough because they can protect you and care for you alot better than I can. You know how I feel about you, I'm sure by now."
"I just don't feel like a very good friend."

She shrugged. "You're not with a pack of Vah, Onyx. Things are different here. So you failed. Big deal. Just try again. I failed a hundred times to get out of the harem."
She gave a chuckle that had no mirth in it. "You'll let me down again. It happens. It will always happen. And I'll let you down too." She shrgged again, "I'm not relaly worried about that."
She sighed. "I'll give you a hint then. You can start by visitng."
