She glared up at him and shook ehr head, "Go away Malik. Nym and I just had a minor misunderstanding, didn't we Nym?" Another soft stroke to his fur as she cuddled him still. "It's all under control now though and no I don't need your help." She liked the sound of that happy chitter and thought briefly, wondering if Sevilin was around here somewhere. Nym usually meant Sev was around and she wondered if he would be upset at her holding Nym like this. That thought filled her with glee and she lifted th ferret and nuzzled him gently against her cheek. Such soft fur. And hten returned him to her lap, cuddling him again. "Nym? What do you say we go find Sev for you?"

A sigh and a shake of her head. Who was to say they would catch him in time if he had turned on them...Andallian runes were nine out of time hidden runes after all. Frankly...she knew Sevilin could play her against Malik for his own benifit...after all, she had made it clear that she didn't like him at all. You can't...we need him for this war...damn logic.
Ooooo all this petting and attention. And from a woman no less! I like how you don't try to turn me into food or an acessory, it's nice. I like this much better. The drow females back home are always trying to make me into something or roast me. Of course they do it to upset Sev as well, as if the hurting to his person wasn't bad enough. How come you aren't like that are you to little? Of course to her ears it was nothing more than a long series of noises from him.
Sev? He sent my back here because I wanted to go, though I know how to get his attention. But I can't take you to him, I'm not allowed to show any of you where we're staying. He doesn't want you all dropping by whenever you all please. We like our privacy really. More petting please?

She ignored Malik who was still standing there and just watched Nym for a moment. That was a rather long series of chitters. If she could, she'd love to know what these animals often said to her. She knew Nym was an intelligent ferret and she'd often felt that animals were much more intelligent than humans. They could understand their own language and human's languages as well but humans couldn't reciprocate. It was rather frustrating but she continued giving him affection and looked around. "I don't see Sev around anywhere though I suppose that's just as well."

Malik shrugged and went back to Piper, picking her up and placing her on his lap and picking up the book.
"Sev knows that Drow never trust Drow. he'll be highly aware of Zahara and myself. which means if he can, yes he'll hide these runes. is there a way to make sure at least one of us can see these things, hidden or not?"
a small kiss for her to.
"We'll keep him under control. And I suggest we send a letter to your father about this hunting thing. and mention that if he's actively hunting him, just in case he doesn't know."

Oh yeah, he was totally in this scratching thing. You want Sev I can give you Sev. How long as it been since I left? I told him an hour, I think it's been past an hour, he'll start to worry about me. Jumping down from her lab he skittered away to the kitchen, only to come back dragging a piece of meat that was dripping blood.
He ran in a specific pattern, teh blood makign the exact pattern he ran on teh floor. He was scribing a rune? He knew only knew about five and a half, and only through repeatative training to him really. Jumping to the center of the rune his own on his fur lit up as well as the one on the ground.
"What are you doing Nym?" It was just a voice, the lighted circle pulsing with each syllable. How could Nym do this? It was a borrowed energy from Sevilin, which is why the drow knew it was him.
Nym chittered adn took to chewing on his meat he had stolen. Me? Oh well your name was mentioned a lot and Zahara keeps worrying about holding me, tell her it's okay to hold me. Chitter of course was the only response.
A blink as he lost interest in whatever had gained it in the first place, giving attention back to her. Of course she took the book from him, absentmindedly flipping through pages for immediate runes she recognized...well ten years wasn't a waste of time after all. "Rune mages can call them at will, has to do with self emitted energies or something. I may have learned how to detect them when I was younger but I haven't done it in a long time, if I even remember how. Mother kind of made sure I knew how theses things feel...they do have a feel to the atmosphere in a room when they're scribed or activated." She was still a bit miffed from her ego though. "Is that to say that if I'm in a room he'll blatantly scribe one or something?" She knew he didn't like her. Then a sigh. "Alright...I'll send a letter to father as well...though I guarantee you that he already knows and likes it."

She watched him with her brows furrowed watching as he ran off into the kitchen and came back. She thought he must be hungry considering he was dragging a piece of meat. She looked a bit puzzled when he started dragging it across the floor and glanced up to make sure Malik was gone. He wasn't going to be happy to find blood on his floor. "Nym!" she hissed, "What do you think you're doing?!" And then her question was echoed by a deep, sensual voice. Wait...she knew that voice. "Sevilin?" And a look at a happily chittering Nym.

Moosntone set anouther book on the table, and leaning over it, flipped a through pages. "I swear, it's like this realm has never heard of Aloe Vera. It's a great healing agent, and it will grow just about anywhere. If it's under another name, I'll never find it." He sighed.
"Have you foudn anything useful Kat?"
They had been searching the lybrary for soem time, with minimal success. Seeing as how most of the library wes necromatic in nature. The dead didn't need to be healed by natural means, after all.

Kat shook her head and flippe dyet anothe rbook closed, "A couple of refrences to mushrooms but I have the feelign they wouldn't have the... desired effect."
After that night that Moonstone had spent with her, Kat's relationship with him had only grown. She stopped bothering him on purpose... most of the time, she still did it when she was feeling evil. But they were much better friends and their relationship was becoming more d back every day, though she found she still cared for him deeply.
"I'm afraid that all I've read I already know. You know? Things about honey and washing out wounds and things. I don't think that would be enough though for what we have in mind."

Now that she had stopped bothering him, he foudn the girl tolerabel. And when he didn't think aobut those times she bugged him, he liked her. He shrugged. "If we end up having to amputate an arm or leg, haluciating mushrooms might not be such a bad idea." He grimaced while looking at a book. "Leeches. Why does everytihng invole leeches?"
"At least we can start with the bascics. In this place, there are lots of sheets to make bandages and what not. A few bone needles would be nice...and stuff to put IN the bone needles. This place is so...mideval. It's the kind of place where they would bleed you to heal a cut."
He opened another book, and started looking through the chapters.

Back out in the varitable wilds of Labyrinth, Sevilin was stopped mid construction...well rather deconstruction. Easily fashioned keep like domain made from hollowing out cliffsides, a few good confusing tunnels. He liked his privacy. But now Nym was acting up, he knew better than to do that in front of other people. He cleared his throat.
"Zahara...Nym what do you think you're doing, you terminate this thing right now or I will and you know what happenes when I do it." The little ferret pretyt much got shocked.
Me? Oh just calling Sevilin...and eating. Don't you see me eating? It's good, do you want some? Indicated by a chitter and him offering the piece of overly raw meat to the female drow.
Awww, but why? You don't want to talk to them? Do I have to turn it off? Why must you be difficult? Hiss.

That didn't sound good and Zahara wasn't about to let Nym get hurt. She didn't have a clue what Sevilin was talking about what happens when he does it but she didn't want Seviling appearing and hurting Nym for any reason. She didn't know what the rune meant but apparentely it allowed Sevilin to talk to those in the room. She reached down and scooped up the little ferret, cradling him in her lap and shaking her head. "No thanks you can eat. Sevilin, don't you dare do whatever you're threatening to do because I won't have it!" That hiss didn't sound good either.

"Leeches." Kat looked off into the distance and shivverd, her brothers had once filler her bed with them...
"Actually I think the mushrooms would increase blood flow. Have you ever seen somone high on one before? Their faces get all red. So unfortunatly i don't think it would be good for amputations."
She couldn't believe people actually though that bleeding you when you were already bleeding would make you feel better. Actually bleeding someone anytime was just creepy in her books.
"Can we grow any of that Alo stuff? we could make some sort of green house... maybe with a lot of that glowing moss to shine light on it..." She was peering intently at the books on a low shelf. "Dead and Loving It, Hepolessly Dead, Absolutly No Cure... I'm Married To A Dead Man? Jeese is there anything in this lybray that isn't abou tdeath?"

"Damn. We mgiht actually have to use leeches. Gangrene and what not."
"Then how is brandy any different? That opens the capliaries in the face to...well, then maybe we'de just have to stop the flow of blood to whatever we're amputating. Tie off the limb, and caughterize. Painfull, but effective."
He shrugged. "I could grow it if I could find the seeds But I can't say i'd know how to get a hold of the stuff here. If i could only find one plant. One, and it would be enough to fill that greenhouse."
"There seems to be some romance novels. But I dare say their solution to living would be rather one minded...."

He growled in his throat. What had gotten into that creature...Nym was sensitive he knew that, but sometimes it seemed the creature was easily manipulated. "You won't tell me what I can and can't do. Nym, you have five minutes to get yourself back home, then I will come looking for you."
That said the blood made runic circle on the floor glowed, before all the light seemed to flare to the center and implode on itself, caramalized blood rune left behind. Damn ferret tested him sometimes.
You see why that would of hurt? But he sat there in her lap, most content and eating his meat. What was his problem? Sevilin is in a mood again. Probably because you like me and he doesn't like you because he's too wary of you. Hey this is good, what am I eating anyway? Sorry if it was supposed to be dinner tonight. Oh and you might want to start chizling that blood up or something.

"I will tell you and furthermore I'll make good on my promise!" Not that he could hear her anway. It was pretty clear looking at the destruciton of the rune that the connection had been broken. Well she wasn't about to let Malik see that and she had one of two choices. She could order a slave to clean it up but since she wasn't the Mistress they didn't have to listen to her. And Malik would do nothing to them if they didn't. Sighing she glared at the mark on the floor and slipped off the step, touching the rune. Hard. Dammit, that meant she'd have to physically chisel the stuff off. Shaking her head she pulled out her dagger and began to lift the blood off the floor in pieces. A glance at the chittering ferret. "Don't look at me like that. Somebody's gotta clean up your mess."
