"Trem Bowl, your ships are magnificient machines. The masts and sails are wonderfully placed, the crosswinds can't sink 'em and they are defended from the jagged rock cropings by the steel inlay you placd along the under bow and sides. You truly know your underdark travel." The Drow Prince and Pirate Captain told the little gnomish inventor, praising the excellent work. "I am very glad Salmander sent you down here, why was that agian?"
"Talon is cheat'ng scum."
"You knew that before you played cards." Chuckling, "Now, I can get you out of Talon's pocket-"
"And into yours."
"Now, now, Dear Trem-"
"I am not your dear, Captain."
"Ok, Trem. I will pay your dept if you give me the service I require and consider all things equal, and will make a Mark of Judgement with the Earth Mother to prove it."
"Only you would use her benevolence to ill."
"Ill only on my enemies."
"Who isn't your enemy."

Zahara's eyes widened and she shook her head, "Ramoth, calm down. He's not going to hurt them because I'll kill him if he does. There's a good girl, being a good mother I know. It's alright though." A glance back at Sevilin and she smirked, "Ramoth is a fantastic judge of character, aren't you girl." A glance back at Serino and the foals, "Besides you're scaring your foals and that's not a good thing." An offering of a sugar cube to see if she could get Nightmare to calm down, along with soothing tones. She would have reached out and pat the Nightmare but she knew that she wasn't in good with her yet and had no desire to get bitten, especially in front of Sevilin.

Nightmare snorted and pawed, noting the ferret. I shoudl so eat him. Piper promised me somethign special. But she calmed, after all she was frightening her foals, and nickered lightly at Serino. Of course they're riding you. Malik knows better than to let them ride me. Sugar cube? what are you up to little woman? but she did take the offering anyway, and went to her foals, nuzzling them lightly. I brought you a peice of orc form teh battlefield. thier a bit leathery, not all that tasty, but they are good protien. and you need it to grow big and strong.
Malik nodded at Din.
"Alright then. decided hwo you want to travel yet Din? we'll be leaving shortly now that your present and accounted for. and relatively unharmed."
A grin at Piper.
"They are not beyond your reach...just got to find a way to convince either one of the twins to go home, or cymarron to come here. of course the Oracle won't like that."
Onyx grinned lightly.
"Mom already wants to visit. I think she's a bit interested in meeting Simon..she can probably bring things if asked."
And a pet to Morelle.
"Good to see you fine and dandy..however..you got any clue where Moonstone and the little girl got off to, Morelle?"

Damned animals...they all had thier temperments. And if horses didn't want you on them well then they would dump you first chance they got. No he didn't trust anything that willingly let itself be bridled. It was just waiting to buck you. Though his hand patted at his tunic where Nym was huddled against him, thinking that if he couldn't see nightmare, she couldn't see him.
A tug at his tunic collar and a look down at the creature who's claws were tightly gripped to chain mail. "Are you planning on hiding in there the whole time?" A chitter was his answer and he turned his attention away from the creature down his tunic. "Very well then."
Pushing off the wall as the mare settled, he composed himself. Well...he was glad that he was at least being forced on teh one that seemed less uppity, that was nice. "Tempermental creatures, horses.
She's not going to let you eat the ferret and you know it. She never even likes it when you stomp and eat small critters. I always have to be the rented out steed. A snort was the only sign of his complaining though. Oh well for him. Then again if he freaked someone out it could be counted as a good day.
The mention of food and a little nuzzling was all it took to get foals to crowd around mom's front legs, vying for her affection and what not. You brought us somethign to chew on? I like it when mom brings home things...they at least can't go after us like all the other things we find. Sugar and mom food presents all in one day! Well that didn't seem to bad. But back to vying for attention from mom. I'm gonna be bigger than you. Only because you eat like a pig...you'll grow up not out. You eat like a pig too. I'm not mess like you. Hush up. You hush up. Rear up, head bonk.
"You know I was thinking about that. Remember how Simon is Cymarron here? And how we pushed ourselves out of this plane, so in theory Cym would push out Simon? Well he could actually stop by with Rand to see his twins without worry of that. If he uses the planes gate we have since it isolated from the main plane fabric and thus things that go on with it are virtualy unrecognized by the plane and it's structure. In short, the two versions of them could be here at once." Ah she loved how her lessons were useful at times...meant that whole seventy something plus years of teachings weren't a waste. "And Meilikki can't yell at me."

"You just have to know how to handle them. It helps to give them something they like. Here, give Serino an apple, he may not be as irritable." Adn so saying she tossed an apple at Sevilin. It wouldn't be her fault if it brained him or hit him, he should have caught it, right? Right. A grin and shake of her head at the foals and their continous fighting. She watched Nightmare for a moment adn wondered if she'd ever be able to ride her. That would be something, she remembered Piper had Ramoth with her that first time they'd met and it had been an interesting exchange between the two. Ah but sitting on top of that majestic creature, riding along at a fast gallop of course, flames building in a cloud from her hooves. Hey, she could dream right?

"Which ever one this 'ashlyn' is. Or I could just ride in one of the horseflesh. I'm not relaly all that picky." He shrugged.
The good child? Oh he's gone with the little one to that new colony. There were practacing some sort of medicin when last I saw them. Is this a problem? Should I fetch the white one? Chitter.

"Well nightmare and serino I don't think as so much flesh, as solid shadow and wind. So you can try Ashlyn, if she'll allow it. she's more tempermental than Nightmare I swear. but that being decided, fetch Ashlyn and lets get going."
and that had Malik heading to the stables to see the other drow, and something in the front of sevilin's tunic.
"Ferret and Nightmare not getting along, I take it?"
After all, Serino usually didn't have issues with other animals.
Onyx nodded lightly and tapped Morelle on the head.
"what do you mean the good one? I'm not a bad one, so he can't be a good one. you little rat. see if I give you treats, turncoat."
A grin though and a pet to the familiar.
"Well looks like we're going to see the Oracle. you going to stay here in case Moon shows up or come with?"
Nightmare had gotten her foals to the orc meat, and grooming and chastizing them both for fighting. plenty of time for that later. Right now they needed to be good for the house servants, particularly broog, who was usually left in charge if there was no Malik or Piper.

"Oh with a few pets and a little bit of bribing she'll be right as rain. Besides, I'm sure she'll want to cause trouble. Come on then guys, let's get going before something else happens." Thus following Malik outside but stopping short of the stables. Fingers placed to her lips she gave one of those whistles of her. "Ashlyn! Come on girl we're going on a trip!" Hopefully she was around. Keely was trailing behind the group.
Sevilin flicked his hand up, catching the apple in easily enough. Then he stared at it. Then at Zahara with a raised eyebrow. She wanted him to feed teh thing now? But that would make it like him and then he knew it wouldn't leave it alone.
But with a roll of his eyes he had held it out to the horse anyway. He was allowed to like him just enough to not buck him. Though as soon as the horse took the apple he pulled his hand back. He wasn't an elf to give handouts. Then a look to Malik as he came in. Oh great.
"He took one of her shoes earlier, and she won't let it go and apparently wants to eat him. Thus...I have a ferret down my tunic shaking and clinging to chain mail.
They were munching at what mom had brought, merely more fascinated by texture and what not to really care about taste at all. Of course they were also rather compliant because who didn't like a bath and some nuzzling right? When they were calm and not bashing at each other they were quite easy to handle. Though a look over to Malik when he came in and then another to Keely was she came in as well. They knew her, she often came out with the funny haired elf dad called Piper.

Zahara looked around at the others who had come outside "Oh look, must be time to go." She got ahold of Serino with a pat to his nose and the other half of the apple he made disappear earlier. "Ready to go boy?" And then she swung up, mounting the Zephyr and raised an eyebrow at Sevilin. "Need a golden invitation?"

Ashlyn stuck her head around the corner. Never far from callinh, not always in sight, especially since there seemed to be an influx of new people. Yeah, I'm here. What's this about a trip? She went up to Piper and nuzzled her hand.
Din shook his head. "She won't even know I'm there." He saw the griffen and smiled at her, waving a bit.
A happy little chitter. You were always the one making trouble. You pulled my tail alot. Something that could only be described as fox squirrel laughter followed. I will come. The good one is not in a dangerouse place. You are going to a dangerous place.

"Fair enough. she's tempermental about what's hers."
And ne moved over to Nightmare with her saddle and tack, and just for the hell of it her own armor, and got her all 'dolled up' and ready to go, before hopping up with long practiced ease and pulling Piper up behind him, trotting out a bit.
"First things, since no word has been sent of a move, we'll head to the as of now assumed residence. after that, if they aren't there. we'll use the wisps or other means to find her."
Onyx smirked lightly.
"Danger is everywhere, Morelle. however...your choice."
And he head out by malik, nodding to the rest.
"I'll cover the skies, so to speak, for potential dangers or a possible location change."

Sevilin negotiated the situation a moment. Hm...no way in hell was he going to ride b***h seat and straddle her, let alone hold onto her. No that just wasn't flying at all. So he came up with his own plan.
Setting hands to the horse he pulled himself up and settled himself so he was facing the opposite direction of Zahara, thus putting them back to back. Of course he pulled his pole arm to rest across his lap so she wouldn't complain about it. This would work. The trip he knew was going to seem so much longer than it really was....
Piper had been busy petting as Ashlyn, bribing her all up with pets and words that played on the prideful creature's ego. "My beautiful Ashlyn, you'll do me a favor yes?" Fingers scratching under feathers. "I want you to give our frined Din here a ride, we're all going to go see the oracle. But do be gentle with him dear." More petting and scratching. "Do me the favor and I'll make sure you get your just rewards." A final pat before givign into Malik's urigng and letting him help pull her up on Nightmare. Damn saddle. A look to Din as her arms settled around Malik's waist loosely. "Just scratch at her and she'll warm up to you lightening fast." Then a nod at Malik. "Sounds like a good plan of action to me.

Zahara bit her tongue to keep in a comment. That stupid man...he had to make this difficult didn't he? But fine, let him be that way. If he wanted to be an a** about it...well it wasn't her fault if he fell off or not now was it? Personally she woul dlove to see him dumped off of Serino right now...yes that would please her. Laugh at his dumb a** and bruise that overly large ego of his. Though her mind chided for her to play her roles and behave...besides fighting with Sevilin was just a waste of time...he was too damn stubborn even if he was wrong and knew he was. "Off with us then?"

"Oh. All right." He reached out a hand and tentativly patted the griffin's head. She did seem to warm up pretty quick. But Din was already talking to her. "I'll just ride you, okay? If my skin touches you tohugh, I might go inside you. Is that okay? No. I won't take control. I'll just ...be there. Don't like that idea eh? I'll try my hardest not to let it happen.
I'm not keen on the guy, but I'm doing it because you petted me so nicely, mistress. She let the young looking man climb onto her back, and was impressed that he didn't pull out any of her feathers. I don't tihnk I'm going to do this more than once. She growled.
Take the Integraty, Warren, and Eliot (and Tames) out to sea. Aven may assist you should you aquire the muscle to sail the ship. Celeste will teach you how to sail her ship. Three elves will crew it. Celeste is Co-Captain with you." Signed, Your most Beloved Captain and object of your most undying affection and love, Tara Kim Beloved.
She read the note over again for about the hundreth time. Was he really giving her a ship? She could hardley wrap her finger around it. Co-Captain. They were still in the little harbor near the keep, as not all of Meilikki's things had yet been transfered over. She had changed clothes one again. Wearing a trather stylish blouse and trosers, her silks tied about her waist. Her ears were newly peirced, and large hoops hung from her lobes. She sighed. "Alright then." She stuck the note in her pocket, where it had been for the last few days, and looked over at the ship. Yup, soon they'd be ready to set sail. She just had to wait for the visitors.

"Yes. off with us."
That said, Nightmare took off at full gallop, heading toward the residence that they knew about for the Oracle, as fast as a nightmare coudl go, nevermind the streams of flames form her hooves. hmm. might keep Sevilin on his toes if some of those flames met with Serino's little whirlwinds.
Onyx took a running start, and than a powerful leap that got him airborn, a thermal took him high enough to see at range, the occasional flap of wings to keep pace and airborn at a consistant height. Smooth sailign for him, except the wonders about how Piper's words might affect Whirlwind.
