Zahara wanted to die. She didn't want to go get on a Zephyr and ride to go see some stupid oracle for any reason. That was just annoying. But she slipped off her bed nad pulled on her boots, then opened the door. A look at the little slave girl, this was Piper's personal slave. What was her name again? Oh yes, "Yes Keely, what can I do for you?" She stepped back and picked up the bag she'd prepared earlier to head out on the journey, figuring that Piper probably wanted to talk to her before they left.

A bright smile to Zahara. "Mistress Piper told me to get you. I assume it's time or close for the time for you to go. Better make your way downstairs there. No one likes foul moods." She rocked back on her heels, hands clasped behind her back. "So....have a good time." Happy optimistic smile and she walked off to go do her chores.

"I'm Onyx. I'm a Vah...a race of feline humanoids from Norrath orignially, same place Malik is from. Dad was on another plane when me and my twin Moonstone were born, and then I dragged moonstone here with me through my mother's void."
Short and sweet..and then to Piper.
"Just..I don't know...um...flatter her and try to get across the idea I like her? in a more than friendly way?"
Malik was patched up, cleaning his armor off, and walked out to where the others were, putting a collar in his pocket. yes, he'd ripped one off and kept it for future study.
"Well. someone find Din, and then we'll get last mintue things together and head out. The Oracle may have moved locations so I would hope that there will be a communication to that effect."

Zahara nodded to the little girl and sighed. "Alright then I"ll handle it." She watched the girl skip off then collected her things and headed downstairs glancing at everyone. "So I suppose we're leaving then aren't we?" she asked slowly. She leaned against the wall and crossed her arms waiting for the final word. Although one quick step into the kitchen to pick up an apple and some sugar for the zephmares. They were so sweet.

"Oh...very well then." Now that his knowledge of the places inhabitants were updated that was all he had to say about it. If he wanted to know more then well he would ask now wouldn't he? A slight shake of his head looking first to Piper as she came back down then to Zahara.
He was figuring how he was going to ride with her....figuring he was being put in the b***h seat of the saddle...or lack there of rather. No tack on a horse? That was stupid...but oh well, he'd negotiate. Being inventive was a nice trait to have.
Piper came to stand next to Malik, though her attention drifted to Onyx. That was cute beyond all belief. He wanted her to get him in good with her. "You know, I barely know the woman, any hints?" She had as good a silver tongue as the next elf, but it was nice to be able to know some good points to make or avoid.

Oynx's ears drooped lightly. now for the bad part.
"Um..well...she has issues with affection. she was in late king dimitri's harem and apparently had been...well...um...not treated very well in that area of things. Other than that...she's a great girl. witty, strong, patient. and not afriad, even when...well...even when tempers flare, if you get my meaning."
Malik looked over at Onyx and shook his head before getting the last of his armor cleaned and put back on. glancing at Zahara and Sevilin.
"Once we find Din, we'll be leaving. I suggest you all be ready."
Then back toward the main room, looking over Sevilin and Zahara.
"You made a decent team. which is good to know that you can. I will say I had my reservations as to how you two would do in a combat situation together. Now I hope that will continue...for your sakes and others."

"Yes Malik." The compliment took her by suprise which was understandable in so many ways. She watched Malik for a few moments just to make sure that he really meant what he said. He could be lying though she wouldn't count on it. Running a hand through her hair and tousling it with her fingers, she nodded. "I'll be ready. Sevilin, would you like to meet Serino beforehand?"

Piper blinked at him then smiled in that understanding way that women did. Walking over to him she reached up and scratched between his ears and gave a pat as well. "I understand Onyx, I'll see what I can do for you." Enough to put his thoughts to rest and then lets throw in some humor to lighten the situation. "I can't believe that I lost to teh cat. Now I won't get my hands on any of your father's feathers and arrow heads." All said in joking tone of course. Back over to Malik. "And don't be mad at me...I wasn't trying to get myself killed. You were right there."
Sevilin only gave a grin and a nod of his head to Malik. "Well thank you Lord D'Vinn. I do my job and I make sure to do it well. It wouldn't suit that I disappoint you now would it?" Of course he would be on good behavior...even if it meant riding a damn horse with that damned woman.
But his attention filtered to Zahara, just as Nym happened to skitter into the room and up to Sevilin's shoulder. A chitter and a nuzzle from the creature was returned with a pet to his head. "Why the hell not..." He wasn't good with horses anyway...one could at least like him enough not to buck him.

Malik walked over to Piper, adn mussed her hair a bit.
"I'm not mad at you for helping. I was concerned however to see someone who is not very skilled with a blade, as you admit yourself, in the forfront and one of the most dangerous areas in teh battle. seige engines are highly contested items of war. they can make or break a campaign. so they are highly defended as much as they are sought out to be destroyed."
Then a glance at Onyx, and back to Piper.
"I'm sure those arrowheads and feathers aren't completely beyond your reach."
Onyx purred lightly at the pattign and scratching, and nodded to Malik and Piper, nudging Piper a bit.
"hey, hunting is what Vah do. hunting and protecting the pack or pride. you ain't outdoing me in what I was designed to do."
A chuckle at that, and a lok to slaves already rebuildign walls and cleaning up rubble.
"Who is Din, and why are we looking for him?"

Zahara nodded and chuckled, "That's the spirit Inthara. Let's go." She nodded to Malik and Piper, she was just glad that Piper was alright. She'd worried about her being in the battle and when she had climbed up on the battering ram...well that had scared her too. She was all for Piper fighting though, after all she had to learn, especially if she was living in the Underfoot. And Piper had held her own. But she headed out to the stables and opened the stall door for Serino. "Battles over Serino, why don't you come meet Sevilin. He's going to be riding you with me if you allow it of course." A pat to Serino and she produced an apple. "I'll give you an extra apple if you throw him off the first time he gets on you alone." Oh wait that was mean wasn't it. "That's a joke Serino. But come on..." and she walked back over towards Sevilin.

"I dunno what happened...I just...kind of...wanted in the middle of it all of a sudden." It was puzzling to her, had never happened before but it did just now. Things to ponder over. "Worse came to worse I could of fallen in sync with you." But a little shrug, taking to leaning against him lightly with a shake of her head. "I lost myself a bet...tis my punishment." A look to Onyx. "Oh but you're supposed to let me win. And Din is a posseser...and supposedly related to Meilikki's family." Malik newest bartering chip.
He mocked her as she walked. "Spirit my a**..." That said he merely walked outside to follow her to check out the damn horse issue. But he came into the barn, only to see Zahara luring out teh horse who was tending to shaken up foals it seemed. And a sneer as the horse gave him a once over and sniffed at him and the like. Oh yeah he wasn't loving this.

She gave another pat to Serino and then moved by the foals giving them the sugar she'd stolen from the kitchen. A pat to the Tempest and a scratch to the Armor's nose. Sweet little Zephmares. Like always the Tempest got sugar and patting first. But they both got it in spades from her. She cut the apple in half and fed some more of it to Serino. "Serino, meet Sevilin Inthara. He and I are, unfortunately for us, going to be riding you together as soon as Malik decides it's time to go."

Sevilin may not have liked Serino, but the horse that was clopping into the stables certainly didn't like him. dragging an orc arm in her mouth, which she dropped almost immediatly seeing Sevilin and Zahara..but mostly sevilin..alone with her foals and Serino not doing a damned thing about it. that got a snort and she flat out charged forward, moving next to serino and rearing kickign with intent to hit one o fthose two that were messing with her foals. What the hell serino?! this guy's pet steals my shoes and your letting him near my FOALS! are you out of your mind!?
A wager eh. that got a slight grin.
"So you bet onyx who coudl kill the most, he won, so you have to use elvish charm on that whirlwind girl for his benifit?"
A glance at Onyx.
"Boy you sure gave that up easy. best things to wager on is favors."
Then relaxing a bit, his arm around Piper, and kissing the top of her head.
"I woudl prefer you wanting to fight, then locking up and hiding. that kind of engagement we can expect more of. and it will be the kind of fighting we do when we go to the corn fields. just stay by me, alright? don't go ahead unless you are sure you can handle anything."
Onyx just shrugged.
"Wagers are simple. I'm a vah..we plan for things we know we need or want, not for what we might need or want. Just like hunting. you kill what you need to kill, and use all of the kill first, before hunting again. besides..anyone seen Morelle? I left him with the ferret."

Ooop, name call! I'm right here. See? And Morelle was up on Onyx's shoulder, rubbing the vah's cheek with his forehead. You're never very far out my sight, trouble maker. He chittered and purred in his growl like way.
Din came in rubbing at his arms. He had pulled a few muscles dodging boulders, and expanded a lot of his energies putting out the fires. "I'm here. Sorry, I got stuck under a collapsed wall."

Sevilin was up against a wall in a heart beat to avoid getting pumbled by flaming hooves. Of course he was glaring at the thing. See! God damned horses, he hated them all! But he held his comments to himself and merely stayed against the wall. Ugh, nightmares especially...such tempermental things. "This is more trouble that it's worth..."
Nym knew why she was angry and as such he climbed down the fron of Sevilin's shirt to rest between the fabric and chain mail, hiding from the creature. It was one little horse shoe and she wanted to eat him over it! It was absurd!
Little foals had startled from zahara and run back to Serino, hiding under dad as mom displayed that she quite frankly was upset. Why did mom have to yell like that? First she disappears and there's all these scary noises and dad tells us to be still and quiet then it gets quiet then mom is yelling...
Serino only took two steps back from Nightmare before turning attention on foals that were hiding under him at the time. A nuzzle for each of them before a snort and a shake of his head, looking to Nightmare. I'm not out of my mind, he wasn't touching them...he wasn't even getting close. I thought you trusted Zahara...besides...his ferret only stole your shoe...they want him to RIDE ME. I should be the angry one.
"No, Onyx bet me, not the other way around. He promised things for arrows those things being ones I can't get my hands on anymore. It was tempting, how could I resist." A slight chuckle from her as her hands for a moment played with the bandaging on them. "Alright A'mael, I'll stick close and mind my wandering ways." Then a look over to Din who happened in. "Wonderful, the party's all here."
