She raised an eyebrow, "I didn't answer it? Oh, my apologies Malik, I truly believed I had. Yes, I can bless the ground to keep liches and the like away but will I, is the question." The tapping ceased entirely and she watched Malik closely and she shook her head. She thought about it for a moment and then said, "I'll tell you what Malik, I'll think about helping you but you have to give me some time. I will have an answer for you by tomorrow. And if that doesn't work for you, I"m deeply sorry but that's all I can do for you." And with that she stood up and left the room.

A nudge at him with her head under his chin. "That answer suffice for you?" It wasn't a flat out refusal and it was a rather graceful brush off of him. At least they were civil about it...or at least as civil as can be. "Don't let your mood ruin now...you still have to appear cheerful for my parents this evening. Be the last time we see them in a while."

A small smirk.
"I give Kierana month, tops, before he's back here looking for something about something else."
then a slight grin at her.
"And speaking of moods. Can you stand yet, or are we intending to give them a panic attack when they see me carrying you down for goodbyes?"
"It's a deal, if you can make sure that a gnome, a kolbold, a wizard, a centuar, adn some lixard thing aren't going to try to rip me apart upon landing."

She chuckled lightly, quite enjoying herself for the moment. "Oh he may like to know he can learn all kinds of fun things down here but he won't be bothersome A'mael. He does have his own responsibilities whether he likes to admit it or not." Though then a blink at him. "You make it sound as if you don't like holding me." Piper worked herself out of his hold to stand on her own power, one hand still held to his arm though. She could stand just not entirly on balance. He may of been able to take a drain better than her, but she could buck up just as easy...maybe. "You're not the one with the swimming head." And a rub at her temples before looking up to him with a grin. "Shall we then?"

"I imagine I'll eb at the castle though."

"Now Boys, I know that you are not overly happy with the alliance I made with some surface elves and other goodie goodies, but I can assure you this is so we can re-organize ourselves for greater battle with more fauder." The drow Prince smiled, "Besides, who do you care takes the first wave of arrows?"
The point was rather well recieved, as most of the drow gathered around the prince were soldiers of no significant rank, which meant that they would normally be the bulkwork in similar fauder armies.
"Now, we are going to have to stop killing people in Deep Water, and Lostagrace. Which means you are going to have to go to the Fortress for kicks, but Malik is allowed to kill you if you get caught, and he does have some protect-" Tarathiel burst out into laughter, "Ok, I guess I'll just say it clearly, don't bother him... For now. IF we attack him, he'll never go and kill the lich, which would mean that I would have to, and I have more important things to do right now than kill this demi-god."
"In other words, you can't."
"Exactly." Tarathiel laughed again, which caused all of the soldiers to step away from him. "Oh, come on, you know I am not going to randomly kill you, its in the contract that we signed."

The minotaur stood next the druid, and both nodded. The magnificent final product lay before them. It only took fifteen minutes to have it completed, but it was as well built as anything of its kind. Now all they had to do is wait for the dwarves to be ready for their end of the bargin. The pair said nothing, and just waited paitently for the time to come for them to work again.

"Ready when you are, 'Chev."
A slight grin and mussing her hair a bit, and smirking lightly.
"And you know I don't mind carrying you. I just didn't want your mother to have a stroke thinking something happened to you. She is rather protective of you, you know that."
Onyx grinned lightly.
"Castle? sounds..interesting. why the sudden change from little pleasent cottage like place to huge imposing castle? something coming your way that your getting prepared for?"

She lifted an eyebrow, but decided not to say anything about it. "Yeah. The lich."
She coqued a hip.

"Oh but something did happen, or have you forgotten already?" She took a moment to fix her hair, seeing as he so loved to mess it up. Like a past time for him or something. "She's really not that fragile you know...and she knows what fresh out of communion looks like too. Believe me, it's a different look from 'something bad happened'. Now come on, they're already downstairs." Really now? Of course she knew that, she could track them through mere intensities of feeling. So downstairs she tugged him...or rather used him as a leaning tool.
Kieran was busy scribbling a last few notes in one of his journals as he patiently waited for the rabbits. About him was a bit of that wind that marked the company of a Zephyr, Nerian being ecsatic to go home actually. "Do we have everything? You included Raziel?"
She was busy sitting on a random crate, Raziel in her lap and helping him get his little cloak on just right. Wings made things difficult and the little guy's eyes would need the protection. Kieran and Fianna had thier cloaks on as well. "I've told you three times, yes Kieran. You even have your extra little things you swindled Malik otu of."
"I didn't swindle anybody...he's the one who asked. Not my fault he feels teh need to pay people with something...and I'm not complaining." The gate? It stood dormant against the wall. After all, someone had to show the rabbits how to use it properly.

Raziel rolled ashulder. "Thank you, Fianna." Smile on his face, cheeks rosey with anticipation. Goodness, but he loved traveling. "I'm ready, Kieran! We get to go through soon, right?" jittery too.

A chuckle.
"I don't forget. and It's not Kieran's fault that I chose to repay gifts with gifts. So don't go picking on eachother."
He led piper down letting her lean on him, and noting the inactive gateway.
"I take it your planning to show us..or more precisely, me...how to work this thing as part of your goodbyes for the next month, Kieran?"
Another little chuckle, and a grin at them both.
"And any word on this little...runemage?"

Zahara? She had finally managed to find the tailor and wrangle him into helping her create some new outfits for her. Currently she had her Llothian costume and that was it and that just wasn't goign to work. "That's too much fabric! What do I look like to you? A surface elf?" She rolled her eyes and took the pad from him then drew up a quick skirt and top. "Skin man, show skin. I don't like to feel like I"m tied down and can't get out of my damn clothes. It's not that bloody hard!" She ran a frustrated hand through her white hair and sighed, "Okay, I want five new outfits, all of them different, no pastel colors. I'm a drow not a happy go lucky little girl. You have your orders, now make me something I can actually use." And she shook her head in disgust and walked out. Damn tailor, trying to turn her into Piper. She didn't wear all those clothes, she'd get too hot.

A little pat to his head and then a brush over his wings with her fingertips straightening out some of his feathers. He was just so excited wasn't he? It was endearing really. "Soon enough Raziel." Then a look up as Malik's voice caught her attention. "You're just all too generous then aren't you Malik." Said in that particularly friendly teasing tone. Though a raised eyebrow at her daughter and her...almost sated look.
Kieran nodded lightly. "Indeed." Kieran took out his own activation stone...yes he always carried one on his person. Though a chuckle. "Making bets so soon on when I come back already are you? And I haven't talked to Sevilin yet...though I have a letter for him and I'll get in touch with him as soon as I can. Now, pay attention..." Walkng over to teh destination pillar he pulled out another almost jade colored stone, slipping it into the slot that matched, in this case the two mimicked the Andal plane crest.
Then over to the gate itself, reaching up and slipping the little diamond jade like stone into its own slot. The air seemed to shift a little as the runes along the gate lit up. Kieran stepped back and brushed a hand over the stone that mimicked his own plane's crest again, making a rune come to life on it as well. The inner part of the gate wavered before a beam of light divided the space up the middle and split it. Of course in wake of the beams splitting was the scene of a circle of similar gates, in a grassy ground, sunlight and blue skies beyond. Nerian was first to hit that newly opened gate. "Impatient creature." And a look to Malik. "That's all there is to it. If you had more links from this gate, you would simply finger over which one you wanted and to terminate its linking you merely pull out the stone at the top. Simple yes, but more protected than it seems.
"Always have to have show and tell don't you?" A smile at him and a shake of her head, of course that was an endearing quality. Leaving Malik's side, her father was teh first to get her affectons of a hug, nuzzling at him a moment. "I'm going to miss you Silvercrest. More than you possibly know. Though I know I don't have to tell you to be a stranger...you'll be back before I know it." And then attention to mother, the woman also receiving a hug and nuzzle from her daughter. "And you, Swiftfeather...past is past and all we have is time and the furture right? I"ll make up to you all the time I took, be assured of that." A pull back from her and then a look to Raziel, who got a smile and a pat over his wings. "And you, you try not to get yourself into too much trouble with father you hear me? Keep him out of trouble too..." A look to her parents again with a little nod. "Amin mela lle yuuyo. Lissenen ar' maska'lalaith tenna' lye omentuva." Best thing she learned was never to make goodbyes last too long, least they turn into farwells.
Kieran smiled as she hugged and nuzzled him, chuckled at what she had to tell him. Well of course he would be back...he had a free safe pass to the Underdark. "You know me far to well, for in my shoes you would do the exact same thing Silverfeather." D'Vinn she may be becoming, but she was always going to be thier Silverfeather. "Amin mela lle, amin tinu. Tenna' ento lye omenta" With a smile he lightly pressed a kiss to her forehead before she pulled away.
Fianna, although leaving her daughter once more, didn't feel as bad off as she could of about it. After all...she knew she was alive, safe, and most importantly happy. Sure, Malik was drow, and this was the Underdark...but at least she knew Malik wasn't the horrid thing of tales long ago told and the Underdark was goign to be safe for her as long as she had him. "A good lesson to learn indeed Silverfeather, and you have all the time in the world to make up what we both so casually tossed aside. We're both to blame." A returned hug and a kiss pressed to Piper's cheek before she let go of her. "Amin mela lle Simpetar, aa' menle nauva calen ar' ta hwesta e' ale'quenle." Her attention panned to Malik...and the drow actually got a hug from the woman. "Malik D'Vinn...if she ever tells me one ill word of you, it's me you will be dealing with. Understand me?" Again that joking tone from her. "And if you're planning on two...you might want to get started on that eh? Have to give me a grand encentive to come down here don't you?" It was kind of a joke between them.
And thus Malik gained Kieran's attention with a smile and a nod from the scholar. "Well D'Vinn...you know what I expect of you now don't I, I'm sure you won't have to think very hard even if you don't. Though I know you, you'll take good care of her won't you son?" Another chuckle. "Though keep in mind...if you need me, be it as warrior or family, my sword and my service is but a breath away." And of course a hand held out to him, just as when they first met.

Raziel chuckled as he blushed all over. "Ah well...you know...." he shyed away a bit. "I'll look after Kieran."
"Thanks for everything, Piper. Specially for saving me that day outside, when i almost got eaten by that imp."
