Merely an annoyed grunt at her apology and then his incessant quiet again. He knew it could agrivate without even trying and sometimes he was quiet just to do that, agrivate.
Though the moment Malik was down off his horse, Sevilin took that as leeway to be able to not have to expect getting back on for a bit. Thusly he was off that horse in two seconds flat. Ah solid ground...good to feel something under him again.
Nym chittered from inside his tunic, only to poke his head out of the top and look around a bit cautiously before climbling to his shoulder and standing there. Ooooooo. Look at the new place...I wonder what kind of stuff it has to steal. Thus he was already skittering down Sevilin before he was grabbed by his scruff and brought eye level to the drow. An innocent chitter.
"Do me a favor and don't run off here...this is business, not pleasure."
"Malik, attitude." Zahara had only asked the question Piper had been thinking not too long ago. She let Malik help her down just for the sheer fun and look of it...of course being in armor there was a highly likely chance that she would of just went crashing to the ground from being unused to the way armor affected her movement naturally. Didn't need to fall on her face... But a smile and polite nod to Aella...Piper was still running through her head what she would say to the woman...but that aside for right now. "Oh, nothing like a few hundred foes marchign against your home and what not for a morning work out." Piper dismissvely waved a bandaged hand about it. Though there was the little frown at the information of proably not being able to see Melikki. "Well why wouldn't they? We, I, have things to do for her." It figured....

Malik's jaw set and his face hardened a bit.
"How about I put it another way. In light of this mornigns assault on my home, doing severe damage and the fact the enemy had equipment specifically designed to resist the defenses created by Roarke, if I don't get the answer's I'm looking for, I'll be so inclined as to use a buisness relation with said enemy to inform him of your actions and who's involved."
Malik was not in a good mood. a small army of orcs and kobolds tearing up his home had that affect.
Onyx thumbed to Piper and Malik.
"What they said. we had orc and kolbold en masse for breakfast. they aren't very tastey either. kinda like squid. ever had squid? it's rubbery like."
Then a bit of a grin.
"Have you met Morelle yet?"

Behave Zahara behave. Between both the males she was really getting irritated. THough it made her happy that Sevilin chose not to say anything. She didn't want to get so angry she shouted something that could get her into trouble. So she stayed quiet. And she knew that there was no way in hell Sevilin was goign to help her down, so she slipped of Serino and turned her attention to him. She didn't know who these people they were talking about were. So she petted at Serino and sneaked an apple out of her bag to hand to him.

She looked to Piper with a sympathetic look. "Meilikki knows something. Told Tarathiel. Now Tarathiel has her so...well protected that not even I am allowed inside the castle. Whatever it was you were supposed to do, has to wait until the dangers have passed."
Then to Onyx. And she nodded. "I like seafood." Then she reached out and pet the little creature in Onyx's hands. "I think we met briefly once."
But she sneered at Malik. "Oh my. Threats. That will certainly make me move my tail. Look at me go." She rolled her eyes. "I said I can take you there. Take it or leave it."

Of course he was in a mood...and she had to play peacemaker. That was always the way wasn't it? He really needed to work on his PR sometimes...But she shook her head lightly at it, then only sighing as Aella went about explainging things. "Figures Tarathiel would do that..." Ah yes the ever present dislike of that drow. He had to make things difficult. "Fine, we'll make do and take up on your offer to take us there."
A look over to Zahara who was making Serino's day. She certinally had a thing for horses now didn't she? Then again he wouldn't fault her on that...he did have a soft spot for Nym.
But he merely remained his quiet self as business was discussed and decided upon...of course trying to keep Nym from slipping away as well.

She laughed softly at Aella's answer. Served Malik right to have someone treat him with the same sarcasm and disdain he gave to everyone else. Often pissed her off whne he got lke that but she was being good. Tarathiel seh knew...she'd met him rather recently in fact. As for the others...nope, had no idea who some of htem were. But she wasn't really listening, merely petting Serino and standing there being quiet. A glance at Sevilin every once in a while and she got that churning feeling in her tummy. Damn...damn...damn. Not again.

He sighed lightly so as not to draw too much attention to himself. He was all one for business but this was a little irritating. Kinks and snags all over the place it seemed...eh at least he was getting paid for this. That was probably the only reason he wasn't showing more annoyance to the situation.
Of course he was also trying to avoid Zahara's gaze. She kept looking over at him and that unnerved him to a high degree...she had that look about her. And if he knew anything about female drow...it would be best just to pretend he didn't see her. Though didn't matter really...she did anything funny and she'd be on the ground before she knew what hit her.

"It's not a threat, it's a promise. I'm really in no mood to deal with Kimmuriel's convulted plots and traps and guises today. The Oracle is of prime importance for me to complete my portion of this comign war by setting it off."
But that was all he said, giving only a glance to Zahara and Sevilin. working like clockwork. That might add a bit of spice to thier teacher/student relationship.
Back over to Nightmare, patting her neck lightly. he'd let Piper handle it.
Onyx grinned some.
"I can get you any kind of seafood you'd like...maybe some nice shells for earring or something."
Hey, worth offering to bring gifts. might help her get used to him being aroudn more often. and give him a perfectly reasonable and not arguable point to come without worring about being shot at with fireballs or having arrows or a kobold trying to eat him.

She turned around and set off down a path. "It's not overly far from here. We can walk." Other than that, she didn't really say anything to piper. She didn't know the elf all that well. She didn't really know any of them except Onyx.
She sighed. "Promises are fleating, Malik." She did not turn around to look at him.
"That would be nice, Onyx. But at another time. I think your commrads are more conserned about the matter at hand."

Piper shrugged lightly of course shaking her head at Malik's attitude...today just wasn't a good day now as it. Oh well...as always she would be his conscience and keep him from maiming people and what not. Sometimes she amazed herself with how he responded to her own gentle pleadings with him. A gesture to the others as she started off after Aella. "Come on guys, it's still work time." And thus she trotted a bit to catch up with Aella and walk in stride with her. Hm...Onyx loop. A slight laugh and a dismissive wave to the woman. "Now now, what's business with no fun or pleasantness attached to it? Let ourselves get too consumed and we can loose site of our goal. I think Onyx quite the good lad to be keeping things personal. Business has to have some aspect of it."
Sevilin tapped his fingers on his arm, then swung his pole arm around to hook it into it's holder on his back. Of course he was minding his manners, meaning he was waiting for Malik to take off first...then he'd follow. Yes he intended on being good and getting paid. The more grief he caused Malik the more the drow could skim off the top.

Business was concluded? Well, that was quick. Oh no wait, we're just going somewhere else. She hadn't been paying attention, hadnt' cared enough to pay attention and just glanced at the others around her before she started following behind Aella. Obviously they were all supposed to go. Another glance back at Sevilin to make sure he was following. Damn irritating Drow. well if he wanted to stay back then he could dammit, she was going ahead.

Malik got right up on Nightmare, and a little snap on teh reins got her at a trot after whirlwind and piper, Onyx following alongside. mostly becuase his wings were tired from teh trip after the earlier fighting.
Malik's eyes stayed on the half elf. irritating creature. however, he knew some manners and also knew well enough that he was already in a foul mood. so best not to prod, get pushed back, and then there'd be hell to pay. Save that for Kimmuriel.
Onyx kept his stride, Putting Morelle back on his shoulder.
"So what do you think Morelle?"
Of course Onyx's eyes woudl ever so often slip down to legs and rear on Aella. He just couldn't help himself. then a look at Malik.
"You have more than just questions about those collars. Tier'dal, from Dad's teachings..don't do anything without some devious or sure way to get in and get out. what other questions are you looking to ask?"
"Those questions are mine, and mine alone. Not your concern."
A glance at Onyx before back to the other pair ahead of him.
"Besides, shouldn't you be worrying about your own possible questions, Onyx?"

She smiled a bit. "Things have just been stressful lately. I don't feel right putting my gaurd down." The walk was soemtihng og a long one, but for the moment it seemed everyone needed the break. She lifted an eyebrow. "Onyx? I'm not certian the..lad...could do anything serious."
Moreele looked around. What? What do I tihnk about what? The girl? I like her. The walk? I like it. Food? Id like some. He swatted at the vah's cheek. Keep your eyes level mister! I'm watching you.

A slight smile and that aloof look as she let her head tilt to the side. "Stressful is probably a gross understatement. I'm sure the correct words are so vile that even Gods can't say them." Said in a rather upbeat tone at that. Funny little elf. A slight shrug and the puzzled look...though if she really was, was debateable. "Oh why not? I've seen him be serious. He's a Vah, and Vah are quite teh characters. Serious as sin one moment and then light hearted as kittens chasing butterflies the next. Affectionate things too. Ever pet one? It's soothing."
He was last in line, even behind Din and Ashlyn as he followed along with the little group. He'd rather have his back to the open than to one of them. And this way he could keep an eye on every single one of them too. Paranoia wasn't the word but it was something very close to it.
Nym was chittering away happily on Sev's shoulder. About what? Who knew, could of been socks, could of been food, could of been anything. But probably one of the previous. Though by this point he had contented himself with not wandering and only running along Sevilin's person.
