"Well, males in Llothian society are little more tha breeding fodder and warriors. even a powerful mage is under the lowest woman cleric. I woudl think that whippings, beatings, and other such injuries might be a reason, or that his futher explorations into power and treachery, those kind of effects woudl be handy. As for Kimmuriel training her..it woudl be his sister doing that, and as such, Kimmuriel using his influence to get that done and put her under in proection, so to speak."
Malik grinned lightly.
"I knew what I was saying and how it made sense. and why is it worrisome if he is a master? does a master runemage symbol have more effects or potency than an apprentice?"

He crossed his arms over his chest and sighed. She couldn't take obscurity could she? Fine. "Basic and advanced magics, also dipping into the clerical aspects and the ability to manipulate, and scribe Andallian runes with full mastery of them." Was that good enough for her? "And killing if things need be killed." Yeah that too.
But that was as far as that went. No returned question of her, no further explaination...for he knew she probably had not a clue to what a rune mage was, let alone what an Andallian one was. "I know that may seem a little out of your grasp...me being male and all. But do well to watch your tongue before you call me a bluff."
She shook her head. "And I was worried about you and Zahara fighting...they'll tear each other apart." Never got any easier did it, and to that she only gave a sigh, flipping through a few more pages, scanning. "Right, proclaimed Son of Lloth thing. Twisted logic but it works, I'll give you that." She brushed a few strands of red and silver from her face. "It's like any other magics. The more mastery the greater the affects. In the case of rune mages, thier radius of effects are wider, can affect mroe targets to higher standards. Everything is at the very least doubled in power. Thier scribing isn't limited to certain materials either." And then she turned the book so he could see again, she knew this rune well. One of the series she'd been taught was dangerous. "Like this one, say for the sake of example...he slaps this on our weapons and armors. This is a shatter rune, the invoking of one can weaken weapon and armor alike, making them weak or brittle. Higher the levels, more powerful it is." Oh she knew exactly what they were getting in to. She had listened to her mother the whole ten years she was versed in rune knowledge.

She knew a little bit about it and she understood both his words and his finely veiled threat. She lifted her chin and that stubborn look came into her eyes. She didn't take threats very well, not at all. "Well Sevilin, since you quite obviously are not inept at scribbling runes, permit me to ask how you became one. You are Llothian, are you not? And judging by your last sentence you and I both realize that you should not be. So, please explain how you managed to become what you are." She had no desire to challenge him to anything and she knew that he could easily overpower her. He was bigger than she was and stronger, all males were which is why it was such a quandary that the Llothian way of life had survived for so many centuries.

That made him set his jaw a little. He wasn't a blantantly tempered drow but if poked at just the right angle and pressure he was indeed known for his temper. Often got people killed. And she was poking at a subject that could very well be mocked or taken wrong simply because he was male and 'didn't have the right to lay claim to such reveared albilities'.
"Llothian yes...and if you bother the lion you eventually get the claws. You get pawed around adn eventually they loose interest in you...till they find it again, you're free to do as you please as long as no one is the wiser to your actions." And that was all the insight that he was giving into it....no way in the Underdark was he going to tell such personal things to another drow, let alone a female. Who knows how she would twist that.

She nodded and she wasn't stupid. She knew he was closing things off to her and she understood. It was the same with her. She had searched for her own fulfillment all in secret until she'd been discovered and then all hell had broken loose. "Ah yes, the way of the Drow. What is not known cannot be punished." She could tell he wasn't goign to tell her anything else and she held up her hands. "I meant no offense. I know very well your way of life and mine as well as the things considered perfectly fine in our society. I don't agree with most of them but that is neither here nor there." She pushed herself to her feet and nodded ot him, moving over and gently petting the top of the ferret's head. "Well I must reverie. Until next we meet Sevilin Inthara. Nym." And she walked off in that provocative way she knew so well into the house and up to her room. She had a lot to think about, a lot to figure out. And she wasn't sure how to take this mysterious Drow.

Needless to say his posture completely tensed, barely outward visibly so when she came close enough to pet at Nym...who only chittered in response, licking at her fingers before she pulled them away. Sev shook his head at the creature as Zahara walked off in that way that they all walked off to try and make you stare so they had reason to hit you.
Nym chittered again, rubbing against his friend's jaw. I like her, she picked me up and wasn't trying to maim or kill me. He was an optimistic creature really, almost a polar opposite of Sevilin himself yet at the same time he shared his companions horrible temper and foul moods.
Sevilin gave that irritated grunt again. "Women." Though a side glance at Nym, and a slight shake of his head. "Enough idling about here Nym...we have to find a place to stay." He had no intention of telling when he came and went either, as Malik stated he was perfectly capable of contacting him, and Sev had set up several location runes...not that anyone would notice them.

Zahara lay there, unable to reverie just yet. She was thinking far too much to relax enough to slip into reverie and it was driving her nuts. His words kept replaying back in her head and she sighed. She'd taken off her boots and the socks that she'd told Nym and Sev she didn't wear and changed her clothes and now was curled up on her bed.Her door shut and locked, all drawers closed even though she didn't think she'd have a little visitor, the lock should keep him out. Finally she shoved Sevilin and his little ferret out of her head. Laying back, she folded her hands over her stomach and slipped into that peaceful spot where she could relive her past memories.

What seemed to be a ball of red light blipped into view in the air in the foyer of the fortress where it bounced to the floor and rolled a few feet. Then it moved and he uncurled himself shaking off the light as if it was dust on him. Stretching slightly he chittered adn took to scouting out the place further. Sev was busy working on thier place and he was bored, so he'd asked to be sent back, scout some more for the drow.
Downstairs was duly covered eariler, but oh the wonders up the up stairs! Yes, he was cutely hopping up the stairs now. Oh where to do first! So many rooms and closed doors! I think I-hey! I know that smell. She stays up here? Well let's go check it out.
Making his way down teh hall he came to a door...which seemed impossible to squeeze under but he did. Zahara's room, and she was on the bed, in reverie. He took to slinking around her room...till he came to her boots. With those boots were socks...SOCKS!
That was something to pounce and thus roll around the floor with for about ten minutes. Nym loved socks...they were so soft. He liked to make his bed out of them. Like little ferret sleeping bags really. Okay then , sock was duly massacred now...he'd spare the other one and make sure to take it back with him.
To the dresser, slippign under and crawling the back of the drawers till he got to the top one and entered the drawer from the back adn pushed it open while he was inside. Hey look her clothes! Let's rumage...ah ha! She does have pockets...nothing but sugar grains though. Onto the dresser then, checking its top. Eh nothing on interest really.
Dropping down, on to the bed then. He crawled up the sheet and onto Zahara's stomach. OOooo that was lovely, a little metal ring. He went about removing it....yes he knew how, he'd practiced many time with Sev's earring. Unclasped, worked out and placed on the sheets. Now you're at my mercy. Which meant he duly slipped under her clothes to see if she had any other hidden pockets.

She felt something strange and shifted lightly rlipping onto her side but not coming out of reverie. After a few more moments she flipped back onto her back but remained in reverie. She had no clue the ferret was in her room. Under her skirt near about three inches down from her waist she had a small pocket that had her replacement ring for her belly button. She also had another hair clip in there just in case. Her half gloved hands rerested on the spot just over her belly and the tiny pocket in her top held a small gold ring that always rested near her heart.

With every flip she maid he just scurried teh opposite direction so as not to be crushed. He'd spent years doing this and was well aware of shifting motions. But low and behold pockets! So she kept her pockets hidden did she? Well no he knew...and he was going about pushign those pockets inside out to let their contents spill to the bed. Of course the one in her top too a little effort and shifting of clothing to get and and thus worked out. She thought she was clever oh no she wasn't. Okay...so he had practically undressed her to get what he wanted...no big deal, he was just a harmless little ferret.

Zahara opened her eyes and blinked. Something was moving around beneath her clothes. She moved her head and saw what looked like everything from her pockets on the bed. The tiny gold ring she always kept in her breast pocket was out and so was her extra hair clip. What in the world. And then something furry brushed against her skin. She glanced down at her stomach and saw her ring was missing. "What the...?" Then a little ferret head popped out from beneath her skirt. "Nym! What are you doing in here? Come here you little furball!" And Zahara lunged.

Retreat! Leave no sock behind! Thus though he chittered and took a bounding step, slipping from, her clothes and tumbling off the bed. Low to the floor and back arched he ran to her remaining sock, grabbed it and then slipped unto her dresser. Drow couldn't slip under dressers. Oh come on now, you have such intersting things in your pockets...and I left them on the bed...darn it.

She fixed her horribly messed up clothes. If anyone had seen her like that they'd swear she had been ravished while she was in reverie. She growled under her breath about little furballs and gathered up all the things that had been pulled from her pockets. She didn't have time to put everything back where it belonged so she jsut slipped it all in one of her pockets and bounded off the bed. "Nym! That's my sock. Come her eyou little miscrean!" She dropped to her stomach adn glared at the ferret under the dresser then reached under and began grabbing. "Come out of there you little coward!"

Little red eyes stared back at her, blinking, before she started grabbing and he started dodging, sock still in his mouth. OH but you don't need this one! It's match was torn up, so you don't need it at all! Come on, let me have it, I like it, it reminds me of you!
Then the ferret grabbed her hand with his forepaws and darted out and up her arm, leaping over her shoulder and onto the bed where he crawling up the posts and ran the top frame to the shelving in the room. Please? You can keep the other thing...

She felt the claws skitter up her arm and pulled out and up, twisting quickly to try and grab the ferret out of midair. She missed and watched with flashing eyes watched the little furball run up the posts of her bed and scamper onto the shelves on the wall. "I'm going to skin you alive you little thief! Come back here with my sock!" She stood up and ran over to the shelving units, hands on her hips screaming at him. "Come here Nym. Bring me back my sock or you will be sorry." The shelves were too high for her to just reach up and snap him off of so she was forced to stand on her tiptoes and then jump up and try to grab his little tubular like body.
