Just had to go and prove her wrong, didn't he? "Yes that's true as well but at least you admit that it does happen. Most of the older ones refuse to admit that anyone younger than two hundred years knows anything at all. They treat us like we're babies and hten wonder why we refuse to respect them." She shook her head and patted Serino, he was doing such a good job, carrying them both, not that it was hard, wihtout complaining. But then he was probbaly worried about what Nightmare would do to him if he got out of line. A chuckle, "She's got you under her hoof so to speak doesn't she boy?"

"Then we'll have to make due with it...and it's not feeding him. just making it so if the lich tries to ifluence them, he has to find away to get the better of T'haen who is at present, probably beyond his reach in the blade."
A look back at her.
"His power is only what you give him. trapped in the blade, you can force him silent through sheer will. which is why he tries to stoke feeling like angr and hate, with promises to give you pwoer to be a juggernaut among enemies. I learned that one the hard way."

"Well if you all didn't whine like babies from time to time we wouldn't treat you like babies now would we?" That was his opinion on it...frankly everyone he knew under two hundred whined quite the bit. It was annoying as hell sometiems and was often treated with a smack.
Serino snorted. Eh...I won't deny it...she does. But yay the petting...don't know why but pets are good. Though Mr. Cynical Drow there is starting to grate on my nerves...I'm not afraid to smack Malik in the head with tree branches I'm sure I can find some low rocks in this place.
She blinked at him, recalling when she first grabbed hold of that thing and it had gotten a taste of her blood. It had indeed promised things to her, things that she probably secretly wanted...things that sounded all too good. Though it had freaked her out and her flee response had forced her to push it from her hand and her head. But that was years ago...she didn't often touch it or let it bite into her these days, but there had been instances. "I just have to...try and isolate what's the sword and what's you...they're both kind of interwoven...the feeling anyway..." A small smile to him. "At least I have you to tell me things than be forced to find out the hard way..."

"I take offense to that. I haven't whined in the entire time you've known me, not once thank you very much. I've given you very strong opinions and probably warranted a smack once or twice but never whined." She shook her head and patted at Serino again knowing he was saying something. Hmm...maybe Piper understood him. She'd have to ask and see."So I suppose we're goign to go back home, regroup and then head out to kill and maim once again." She shook her head, "What a life! Don't you think Sev?"

Malik brought Nightare to a stop, adnm got down, getting Piper as well and restrapping Malvolence to his side, walking over by the force he had. maybe ninety in this troop, mostly undead.
"Sevilin, come here if you would I have some questions for you."
He walked in front of this little force, inspecting the golems in particular. who were dressed in leather armor and holding clubs or had gloves with spiked protrutions on them.
"Are teh golems properly prepared?"
one of the necromancers in accompaniment nodded.
"Good."
Then a glance back for Sevilin.
"the Undead. can they be warded agasint fire. it is of course a prime weapon to use agasint them and others...so I'd like to be able to use flame without risking destroyign my own undead in the process."

"You have too whined...those strong opinions of yours are nothing more than a child's cry to not do what is asked of them, simple as that." A little scoff and a cross of his arms a moment, much to Nym's dismay. "What a life? Same s**t, different plane. Kill, maim, destoroy...get's rather old hat." But a look over when Malik called him. "Boss man calls."
Slipping off of Serino, Nym jumping to his shoulder in the process, he made his was over to Malik who was looking over his troops. Undead things, joy. He considered his answers and his options to go about this...after all, he was expected to support Zahara too. "I can certinally do that...though I have a few different methods." He took another moment to consider the most least taxing way...after all, projecting rather than induing an affect was more taxing.
Reaching to one of his belt pouches he pulled out a piece of paper then reached his pointer finger back to Nym..when the little ferret grabbed hold of his finger and bit into the dark flesh, breakingm skin with his littele teeth and in turn causing blood flow. "Thank you Nym."
His finger was laid to the paper and he scribed out a certain intricate symbol in blood before sucking on his finger to stop blowflow while handing it over to Malik. "Get that symbol etched, painted, drawn, whatever on each of them and I can accomplish that task with less strain on my own resources while also warding your own. Is that acceptable Lord D'Vinn?"
Piper stood next to Nightmare, stretching out some as Malik took back the damned sword. All she had to do was try to ignore it, tell it to leave her alone and also try to keep her mood out of more sour aspects. Shouldn't be too hard of course. Though she couldn't help but hate all this...Malik was so war bound these days. A pet to Nightmare, running a hand through a fiery mane and patting at her neck. Then she looped an arm around the horses neck, nuzzling her lightly as she leaned against the mare. '"This isn't fun Ramoth..."

And there he went contradicting her once again, irritating Drow. She opened her mouth to say something to him but Malik called him over. WEl damn, and she'd been about ot unleash someting really worth listening to too. Stupid job, stupid Malik, stupid, stupid, stupid. She didn't whine. She knew that herself. Whining was annoying to any and all who heard it and drove her nuts. Shaking her head she once again patted Serino's neck and ran her fingers through his mane, watching Sevilin make Malik happy. What was he doing anyway?

Nightmare just pawwed lightly and let Piper lean agasint her. ah, teh glory days. I love to battle...but I have foals now to consider. have to be more careful. Hmm. think that the black one knows that putting his blood on a paper to Malik could hinder his value with that..thing in that sword?
Malik nodded lightly, handing the paper to a necromancer.
"Do as he said. I want this runic mark on all the undead. carved into them so it won't come off. I want this group ready to march in a day at the most, six hours in the least. prepared for a month's work, in case we have to lay a siege."
The necromancer nodded, and started getting to work with a dagger, handing the paper to another who had a tool designed specifically for carving into bone to work on teh skeletal portion of the legion.
"That will be all for now, Sevilin."

Sevilin grabbed Malik by the shoulder, pressuring enough so that the Tier'dal would be forced to avert some attention to him. A very very hard and stern look from the rune mage. "By the way...Lord D'Vinn, " minding his manner still...well those that he used to get paid with anyway, "...use my blood for anything and you'll sorely regret it. I hope I only need to say that once." Being a paranoid drow...that paper wasn't normal and induced certain reactions in blood...a double protect againt those who wished to use it. He'd heard about the sword enough...yay runes around the fortress.
And he let Malik go, walking away from him but not back to Zahara. No he merely plopped down on a rock crosslegged...he needed to focus himself for this upcoming thing...he had to divert his energies to three sources and stay on his own guard all at the same time. He liked challanges though.
Piper pet at the mare again lightly. "Of course you're probably enjoying this as well...you and Malik lived for this at one point." Another pet to her before she walked over to Zahara, petting ar Serino's nose. "You may wanna stretch your legs a little Zahara."

She glanced down at Piper for a moment and then looked over at Sevilin. "Look at him, he thinks he's mr. high and mighty just because he's a little bit older. And I have to put up with his arrogant self. Why do I do this to myself Piper? Hmm? There's got to be a good explanation for it. Why do you put up wiht your arrogant Malik? I mean I'm trying to take your advice and be the lesser sex but it's so hard to do." Another glance at those around and she hopped down off Serino and took Piper's arm, "Come let's take a walk."

Malik grinned lightly, and shook his head. like he would make much use out of that little amount. Of course, that doesn't mean the though of killing Sevilin rather than paying him hadn't crossed his mind. Trap him in Malvolence and become ever greater. a shadowknight with psionic ability, heighted strength, agility, speed...more powerful spell casting...and then add the talents of an adalian rune mage...let see Kimmuriel try him then.
But on the other hand...the added body was more useful than just his skill. And, get him and Zahara romantically involved, he might not have to pay him. he'd defend the House they both would them belong to, since Piper had all but adopted Zahara, without payment.

A look over to Sevilin. "He's just being the run of the mill man...they have egos and can't help but give into them sometimes. And you're doign it because he'll eventually leave you alone because fighting with you isn't fun anymore? You're the one who wanted the advice." A blink as Zahara took to dragging her off by the arm with a look back to Malik...a little wandering off wouldn't bother him...hopefully. "It's called love...love makes you do stupid things...and I just fuss him out later about it. Like his damnable PR skills..."
He was just watching them all...Malik and his own thing...he knew there was nothing innocent about that elf at all...he was far too confident to only have one plan.
And red eyes slid to Zahara who was leading Piper off. Those two...those two he wanted to throw into a pit with rabid wolves and watch in glee as they ran aroudn trying to avoid getting comped to death. But he'd keep that to himself now wouldn't he?

"Damnable PR skills? Piper the man has none to speak of, none to wish for or even dream about. None. And you can't tell me he does with you because that just doesn't count." She walked off a little ways, far enough to keep them away from prying eyes and listening ears. "Yes I suppose you're right." A sigh. "I did ask for the advice and I did intend to make full use of said advice and I am trying. He's just pissing me off. You should have heard him earlier going on and on about how younger elves are all full of themselves." A glance back at Sev every few minutes and then Malik as she said things. "But I've got bigger worries than that. I have to train with this man and I can't keep my eyes off of him...." Was she telling Piper about her instincts? That was not the point of this little tete a tete...what was she doing?? quick take it back, take it back. Instead she said something else quickly to keep her from answering that. "So what's this plan Malik's got going on in his mind?"

"Yes I know this...I know they completely lack, and please don't remind me of that...I'm working on them. My job is to love him and be there for him, not to change him. He'll only learn and pracitce them if he wants too anyway." Piper shrugged lightly...yeah she had accepted the fact...it was liek Malvolence; she didn't like it but she would accept it. A scratch at her hiar. "...well we are sometimes...I've gotten into my fair share of trouble..." Though a truly baffled blink as she mentioned not being to take her eyes off the elf and then covered up with a question about Malik. "What plan? I'm bonded to him, but that doesn't mean I can read his exact thoughts. And it could be anything. But back up...you can't stop staring at Sevilin?" A look over to the rune mage then back to Zahara. "You'll pay attention better then?"

She shook her head, so Piper had caught her. Another glance at Sevilin and the back at Piper, "Well Malik told me that I had to be able to bless the fields but we haven't done that yet. So why did we come back here? There's got to be something that Malik isn't telling me, which wouldn't surprise me in the least." Accusatory eyes at said blue skinned drow before looking back at Piper. "Forget I said that Piper...I mean it's just..well no. I might as well tell you because I could shortly be making eyes at Malik too and I wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea."
