Malik watched, and memorized. no need to show him twice. though a grin at Fianna.
"Oh we'll give you plenty of reason to come down here. hell, maybe we can get three. and I won't be upsetting you anytime soon. an elemental bow is dangerous enough, and I don't knwo what you can do with it with your runes."
Then over to Kieran.
"I know what is expected of me. and don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll see to that."
And he shook Kieran's hand and gave a grin to Fianna, before walkign over and giving her a gentle hug.
"Not all the Drow are vicious..well..yes we are...just not to everyone we meet."
A chuckle to her.

Piper chuckled softly at the little feathered fairy. "Good thing I'm obsevant huh? I like you better as a friend than as imp chow anyday." Though she watched with a smile her parents and Malik. Sure, it was hell at first...but as Malik often said, even the worst of storm passed and the sun always rose, even in the Underdark. Well...he was starting to have his family again wasn't he?
A grin at Malik, giving a nod. "Nice to see you didn't punch me this time around." Of course a chuckle to follow that up, no he hadn't forgotten. Then a bit of seriousness from him again. "I'll keep you to your word, that's my only daughter." He let a moment of silence pass. "Until next we meet Malik." That said, Kieran pulled up the hood of his cloak, holding out his arm then to Fianna. But a glance to Piper. "Remember to close this thing."
"Three? Poor girl will never be able to get out of bed. And you'll never hear the end of it." Though one of those slightly egotistical looks from her with a slight chuckle. "Smart elf you are utinu ." Though she returned his hug, lack of any reservation in the action. Yes she had made her peace with Malik. Though a little laugh. "Some of you surprise beyond all belief, I dare say." She pulled back from him, giving him a warm smile. "Sweet water and light laughter till next we meet Malik." A turn to Kieran as she pulled up the hood of her cloak, both had done it in benefit of thier eyes, and then she made sure Raziel made his way to Kieran's shoulder and had his cloak hood up as well before she took his arm. A slight chuckle as Kieran took to leading her toward the planes gate. "They're getting married before we are."
"Well maybe we can remedy that, eh A'mael?" A chuckle as well, stepping through what seemed to be an illusion but what was really just a instand tying of planes threads to one another. And they were back in Andal, merely nothing more than an image to watch of them walking off into the distance."
Piper watched them a moment then walked over to the gate and reached up, brushing fingers over the activation stone before runes died down and the image they were given dissolved as she pulled it out, holding it in her hand loosely as she stepped back to be standing next to Malik. A smile up at him. "A start to your family, yes?"

Raziel cheered on their way through the portal.

"Indeed. and a fine start to a family as well. So. you think we can surprise mother dear and manage to have three?"
A small chuckle at that.
"After all...maybe I can call on Zahara and see if there are soem drow fertility potions that can be made up.."
Though he gave her a lingering, loving little kiss, holding her agaisnt him before she could protest too much about it.
"So what is your pleasure now, 'Chev?"
in that oh so seductively honey dripping voice he could muster just for her.

Piper chuckled, shaking he head lightly. "Let's see, three children, pregnant for a year for each of them, and then count in the growth rate of elves. I hope you plan on spreading that out a bit over the years. Try to have kids back to back and I think you'd kill me." Though a raised eyebrow at his other comment with a smile of course. "Is this the part where I have to start watching what I eat and drink because it may be spiked?" Though she quieted and sobered at his kiss, leaning into him as he held her. A look up at him, gold sparking in her eyes a moment. "What's my pleasure? Shouldn't you be able to feel that now?" And if that wasn't clear she did that thing where she merely climbed up him, legs wrapping around his waist as her arms wrapped around his neck. "Give it a try, go on." Fully established bonds...they were fun. Needs, desires, wants...could be easily picked up on if he gave it even a whim of thought. It wasn't mind reading, but damn close enough. Pseudo Malik fatigue was nothing like the real experience after all.

Two weeks ago, her parents had left for the Andal plane, her and Malik had had a communion, new deals had been forged on both war fronts, and an abundance of other things had entailed thereafter. And for the first time in a long time...she really realized how damn quiet the place was. Well...except for the occassional sounds of sibling/twin rivalry Vah and Imp alike, or the occassinal outbursts of Malik and Zahara. No with Raziel and Kieran around there had been a lot more noise. Even Fianna had added to the mix. And Piper? Particularly lethargic for those first few days afterwards but she learned to occupy her time with Malik and exploring the oh so heightened senses of thier newly completed bond, Underdark language lessons with Zahara or Malik, chasing down imps, tending to Zephmares, gradually working her shoulder back into bow firing fit order and occassionally going out on her own little excursions...once in a while managing Malik or Zahara to go with her.
And two days ago she had gotten a letter from Kieran, along with that rune reference book her mother had promised her. Kiearn Silvercrest, man of his word...though how he accomplished some things she would never know how exactly he did it. Maybe he was just overly lucky. Seemed company would show up anytime now. Boy had Malik taken that one with the utmost caution. Then again drow were drow and that's exactly what thier new friend was, drow.
He slinked around corners, low to the ground and nose going a mile a minute. Tenatively the dark colored creature inspected the sights and smells of the place, skittering about quickly from wall to wall, surface to surface, before bounding up the stairs, cautiously poking said twitching nose out to catch what he could. Red marked fiur bristeled a little. Oh didn't like that smell. Smelled like big cats, horses, elves, and a few things he wasn't getting right off the bat.

When Nym next turned around, he came face to face with an eyeball. That eyeball, through icky biological things,w as connected to a brain. That brain belonged inside the head of a veryt curious imp. A toothy grin was plastered on his face. "Jell! Look at this! It's like...a rat or something."
"The last time I saw rats, they were on fire."
"Yeah, but those were fire rats. This is a...um...long rat."
"Can we eat it?"
"I hope so. Looks tastey."

Eye! Someone's watching! Nym arhced slightly, hunkering down a bit. Now what was this thing...no wait there were two of them. Rat...he wasn't a rat! Rat...how degrading. His nose twitched at them, watching cautiously with bristeled fur now. Eat him? They wanted to eat him? That got a little growl like sound from the ferret. Where was that drow when you needed him...so slow sometimes...

Zahara cocked her head and listened, she knew thsoe two voices and she hadn't seen them around in a while. The imps. If she was honest with herself she probably really did like those two even though all outward apearances showed that she merely tolerated them. She rolled her eyes but there was nothing better to do around here, so she moved out into the hallway and looked down at them. "What are you two doing?"

Jell put his hands together, holding them next to his face. "Awe, but it's so cute! Can we chase it first, then eat it?"
"I'm kinda hungry now..."
"But wer're always hungry."
"Oh yeah.."
"Can we please? A little game of tage first?"
Jaun smiled. "Chase the rat!"
Then they reallized that Star Flower was watching them. They beamed happily at her. "Star Flower! Did you get the flowers we picked you? Would you like to chase the rat with us?"

Malik was in the arena, testing his gladiators, and himself, agasint the new combantant pets. Malik knew what was expected, what was coming. He was about to really start the war. the catalyst to trigger the ripple effect. Of course he'd had to calm Zahara with the tailor...though he thought it amusing. apparntly her yelling about 'more skin' had prompted a smartass rebuttal in the form of something that actually made malik chuckle. a g string bikini bottom, with two thin strands that went up her body and barely covered her nipples to latch onto her collar. After all, she wanted more skin, she'd gotten it in droves.
But then comments about the tailor thinking she was a cheap whore and threats to sacrifice him to Lloth had forced him to step in and stop her from killing him. But he was right now dealing with his dual wielding techniques, though the reaction between the blades still was painful.
Necromancers were building golems to go with the plan, Tremor and Broog were forging tower shields and and weaponry for the golems. other slaves were learning to use the typical handheld crossbows, and build thier accuracy up to par.

Already pissed because of her fight earlier with the tailor, as if she could actually wear the things he'd been trying to thrust at her and she hadn't liked the way Malik had stepped in either. Connecting clothes to her collar, whta the hell was wrong with him? She watched the imps chase after the little furry creature and rolled her eyes. Should she help him? No. Let the imps eat him, it'll be alright. She shrugged and watched them chase him. "Yes I got the flower. And no, I have no desire to chase anything around. And you two shouldn't be after poor defenseless creaturs. Wouldn't want to turn into Malik now would you?" So those were flowers. She'd seen only one in her entire life and it hadn't looked like those but then at the same time it had been similar. Ah well, off to watch the imps get into trouble. She couldn't help but chuckle and toss out the barb about Malik, he really pissed her off. Encouraging that damn tailor in his rebellion.

They shrugged. "We're just playing with our food."
In the arena, the Jerhege, the sphinx, the otter, the fox, the tiger dog, the wingless dragon, and the two chimera's all seemed to wait patiently and quietly for their orders. They had no problems finding out who was their master now.

Piper was in the dinning room, idly fingering through the book of runes. Kept her occupied and edcuated...especially seeing as she'd been cut off from workign with her bow earlier. Both Malik and clerics agreeded and they were against her on it...she couldn't push herself. But damn if she wanted to...it was weird after all, not just being allowed to pick up and traget practice when she pleased. Though her attention was wavering...seeing as imps were getting loud.
Chase the rat...I am not a rat you stupid...whatever it is you are! Point is I don't like how you smell! Though upon Zahara's arrival onto the scene he flattened himself out against the floor. What was that doing here?! No good surface elf...though he liked him for the treats...never mentioned that! With a chitter he popped up and slinked around, the telltale sounds of clickign claws goign down stone steps.
Only to be replaced by the sound of boots on stone steps. "Folbol jal'yur inbal dos phor wun da'rex Nym?" The voice echoed softly from the stone. A dark smooth voice with a tinge of distaste to it maybe. A hand reached up to idle scratch at the little ferret who had taken refuge on his shoulder. Stopping at the top of the steps...was none other than a drow.
Looked like any other drow, ebony skin, ruby eyes, white hair. Hair was worn long, a brain longer than the rest to one side. Decked out in dark clothing with silver trimmings and various odd and ends on belts, two weapons on his person; a dagger and a staff/polearm combination currently on his back.
His eyes scanned and looked at the little group...imps and a....female drow...lying little son of a b***h moon elf. He knew he shouldn't of given him a ten second start...or let him walk away after thier dealings. No wonder Nym was upset. He crossed his arms in show of him being irritated now. He'd have to deal with a female drow...well it wasn't going to be like back in Andal, he was done with that. "Just when I though things were getting interesting..."

She rolled her eyes and sighed, "You two need a hobby." she muttered. She heard her own language and her eyes snapped to the stranger who walked in and violet eyes narrowed. A male Drow, in the house. Did Malik know about this? Probably, son of a b***h probably invited him. "Usstan xun naut zhaun bauth terini'nestg drill ughashag tlu zhaunus. Kruk dosst chaon ghil lu' tlu qee'lak bauth ol. Usstan xun naut inbal jal tangi." Yes, Zahara was irritated. And she really didn't want to deal with any Drow right now. She didn't recognize him...except he looked a lot like the man the Mind Flayer had become to tempt her. That was a scary thought and made her even more cross. "Dos orn'la xun al ulu ser natha alur sol pholor dosst lince'sa."
