Of course he had a back up plan. actually, the back up plan was a seconadry enacted plan. that of course he was going over via telepathy to those involved. soemthign he'd learned about in the Karanas of norrath, the three fold plague. items buired on the land woudl cause poison to seep into the soil and water, not to mention attract all sorts of nasty insectoids. adn that coudl even come into play during the initial strike. wonderful.
Though his attention did occasionally drift toward Piper and Zahara. hmm. more girl talk. Zahara had been far more behaved of late..somethign was up. perhaps Piper was trying to help her adjust or soemthing to being under the collar's yoke.
Nightmare moved by Serino, giving the same kind of speech malik gave piper. was he ready for this kind of combat? did he have experience in it. because she fully intended on someone being able to watch the foals, and he'd better get back here if she didn't. not that she would forgive him if she didn't and he did. She was warrior bred, after all.
Then over to the foals, to make sure they were eating right, healthy, adn strong. they needed to be strong to survive in the underdark. and by the gods her foals were going to be so powerful that they'd do mommy proud. plus they would need to stay here. where the hell was Nieran when she needed his cowardly a**. He woudl certainly been playing babysitter.

"He wants to bring his own little...brigade is all. He like to me an efficent elf, that's all there is to it. Don't see any alterior motive in that...and believe it or not Malik usually tells me about what he's planning." Though okay, Zahara did get that paranoid look when she mentioned she may be making eyes at Malik and what not. Not to mention her defense anger spiked a little and she frowned some. So much for the anger at bay to keep Malovence quiet thing. "You're gonna what now?" No, didn't like that at all...Malik was totally hers and no one elses.
Sevilin was watching them again. Women and thier plotting what were those two up to anyway...nothing good ever came from plotting females. And that jumped him on his guard, especially since they kept looking at him...though there were glances to Malik as well. Plotting indeed...
And of course his own glances at Malik. He didn't liek some of the things he heard about the drow. Slaves talked and talked a lot...he knew much about him already...him and his little funny colored hair pale skinned surface trash. How could he sleep with her anyway. Though he still thoguht it had something to do with that collar he wore...after all, he'd seen the thing in action. Wouldn't be so hard to force a woman to bed for Malik now would it?
Serino merely nickered at her, asuring her he would be fine. He was far older than most thoguth of him and hed seen a lot in his travels. He was ready indeed, he could handle it. Though he joined her in checking on foals who were munching away at the treat mom brought them earlier...though it was all too easly abandoned to go nuzzle and seek attention from mom and dad. They missed them, it was strange with them being away and only Keely to watch them.

She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "Yes I know, you're going to go nuts on me. Just keep in mind that if I had a rational choice and had control there would be no way in the Lloth's hell that I would even take a second look at him. I know he's yours and I know I have to keep my hands off and I"m fully willing to do that. But I warn you now, that I will be making eyes at him and every other male that walks past me. See, Drow kill each other so much that we have to have special instincts that make us...crave sex. And when they come, well they're unstoppable and you have to get rid of them because...it's just not fun. Not fun at all." Another glance back at Sevilin. "It's going ot be even worse if he's trianing me."

Piper blinked. "Really? I thought Malik was just making that up...wow..." Well she learned something today now didn't she? A glance to Sevilin from her as well. "Wait wait wait..you're saying that you'll want to screw any male in sight, and since Sevilin is thus far closest to you constantly, you're wanting him?" Oh man...that was just a horrid horrid explosion waiting to happen. She shook her head lightly...frankly she didn't care if she went after Sevilin as long as she kept her hands off of Malik...Sevilin could fend for his own damn self. Yes, he did rub her the wrong way. "Um...find a way to get it out of your system before it gets the better of you?" Yeah, she was out of her league...surface elves didn't really have to deal with it...seeing as their females fertility rates were so low and they didn't go around killing each other.

Zahara laughed bitterly and shook her head, "If it was that simple, Piper, I wouldn't be warning you now. I've dealt with this before and it sucks and there's goign to be things I'm goign to say, things I'm going to do that you aren't going to understand. You have to realize that I will not be myself while in the throes of these....instincts. And I'm telling you now that I don't mean anything I say. Alright? Everything is just the instincts talking, so please don't let this ruin what we've got. I don't want to lose you as a friend and I don't want you to ask me to leave...but I'm afraid that you're going to want to many times in the weeks to come. Just...have a little faith that this too shall pass and don't act on your impulse." And as she'd been doing for the last day or so, another glance at Sevilin and then scanning over the others, even Din got a glance."I don't know what I want...maybe Sev because I know he's available...I hate this."

Just a blink at Zahara, then one of those comforting pats on her shoulder. "Ah now, I can't ask you to leave...gotta have someone around that's close to my age to goof off with now don't I? Sides...someone has to keep me company these days what with Malik in battle mode. Far more serious than he usually is." A little not from the surface elf then a giggle. "If these instincts entail you getting violent with me, and you hit me...I'm not responsible for the hitting I'll be doing back...have to protect what's mine after all." Though she gave a glance over to Malik that lingered a moment before it went to Sevilin breifly. "Avaliable? You call that avaliable...that's the most unavaliable man I've ever seen. He's like a fricken chunk of ice with sharp edges. Though speaking of him I need to say something to him about that rune on you..." She briefly considered confronting him directly at this very moment.
They were doing it again...staring, glancing...and Zahara had that damn look again. Oh he hated that look on a female drow...yeah, the rabid wolf pit idea was looking pleasing to him right now. Especially with all the talk between the two women. He knew for fact surface elves were backstabbing creatures as any were.

She was slightly startled at the pat adn her hands once again reached for her daggers but seh forced herself to relax. Friendly pats were not disguised as death attempts from Piper. They were just that, friendly pats. "I won't hit you, but I may be mean. Very mean." She glanced back at Sevilin and chuckled, "Yes and so am I. We're both blocks of ice with rough edges. The question is will we wear each other down enough to melt the ice or will we both cut each other into tiny pieces?" She knew from firsthand experience that these instincts could force her to do something she'd regret later and she dind't want to burn any bridges. At the mention of the rune her fingers went up to her forehead and she shot Sevilin a death glare. "He better remove the damn thing and soon. I don't like him having something like that on me. Especially considering the phase I'm about to enter into."

"Still...mean can turn into violence easily. So I'm just saying..." Then a shake of her head. "Oh no you're not, you only think you are. You're at least pleasant to be around...I think I hate him." Piper crossed her arms and sighed lightly. "I think the latter would happen though. And you know what, I think I will say something to him...I don't need to go through Malik, he's supposed to listen to me too." Thus she turned on her heel, starting off back to the boys. "Sevilin!"
Oh damn it, damn her to Lloth...what did she want from him. Yell for him like that, well he wasn't moving and he contemplating ripping out her voice box...yeah that would be nice too. But not as good as the rabid wolf pit. Well he wasn't going to go to her beck and call, if the surface trash wanted him, she would come get him.
Thus he stayed seated on his rock, idly petting at Nym and acting oblivious to her. He would continue to do so until she was standing right in front of him and demanding his attention for all he cared.

"Duly warned." Zahara nodded, most likely that would be what would happen. They'd both yell at each other and eventually break each other down till there was nothing left. Now why was she looking forward to doing that? Lost in her own thoughts she only heard Piper yell Sevilin's name and didn't quite realize what she was doing until it was far too late to stop her. "Piper...by Lloth girl I hope you know what you're doing." She watched Sevilin for a moment and then threw back her head and laughed, oh yes this should be most enjoyable. Standing back she crossed her arms and watchd the show. She'd interfere if it became obvious someone needed her too, other than that, those two could spark alone.

Malik heard Piper yell, and gave a small grin. that should be interesting to watch. In fact, it might be more amuseing to see how Sevilin might react to a pissed off Piper. So he minded his own buisness while keeping a mental and physical eye on them both, and a smirk over to Zahara. he knew through Piper what the conversation has been about. everything was going precisly according to plan.
It's always good when things go according to plan.

She was by this point, standing in front of him, arms crossed with a none too happy look on her face. Hm...she wanted to slap him. Couldn't explain why exactly...maybe it was that smug look his was giving her at this moment. Or the fact that she knew any respect from him was practically vomited up. They clashed so hard and the two had barely uttered two words to each other at all. "First off pay attention..." Oh look, a bit of bite in her voice.
Or better yet...slice her up into little pieces and feed her to the nearest meat eating thing. Surface elf was a rarity. He hated her...but mostly hated her through his hating of Kieran and that damn elf's deception to him. What made the daughter any different than the father...especially since she was already crazy, what with marrying a dark elf after all.
But in that smug condescending way he turned his attention to her...and stood up, using his height against her to look down at her and forcing her to look up if she wanted eye contact. "Was there something you wanted surface elf?" Oh yeah, the tone was in his voice as well...he just wanted to hit her just because he could. What stayed his hand? Malik being but so far away, that's what.
That was a positively infuriating thing for him to do...he wanted his little ego trip. But fine, she'd give it to him and she turned her eyes up to him but they held none of that cowering fear that any other surface elf would give a drow. Piper wasn't going to let him intimidate her. "Secondly you can address me as Lady D'Vinn if you seek to title me...get it straight, Master Rune Mage." Was it mocking? Probably. "But onto my point...I want that rune you put on Zahara off."
Smug smile from him...mostly to hide the disgust. "Titles should fit, shoudl they not? But if you insist...Lady D'Vinn." Grab her by her multicolored head and break her nose right into his knee...that was a pretty sight. "Oh...what rune? I've put many on her person." He liked playing with her.
"You kow which one. The rope rune. Take it off...now."
Raised eyebrow. "Is that what Lord D'Vinn said?" Ah ha yes, play one against the other. "And she needs it...helps reign that attitude...a little caution on her part can't possibly be a bad thing."
"You'll take it off because she's mine and I don't like your graffiti on my property at all. Malik has no say in the matter of what is only mine."
"Yours? Yet you let him use the collar on her? That's interesting. Don't like soiling your own hands with less than gently actions againt others...?" And then here they were...staring at each other both wiht unsavory looks. Who would explode first, hm? That was an intriguing question.

She didn't much like that smug look Malik was shooting in her direction and she'd love to gut him with her daggers. They hadn't had nearly enough drow blood on them for quite a while now. Oh yes, shishkabobbed Malik, that'd be a good dish for dinner now wouldn't it? And then she could fry up Sevilin and stick him on the table beside Malik. They'd feast like Queens tonight! A cross of her arms, she didn't like Sevilin thinking what he was thinking about her and her damn collar. She didn't belong to anybody, not Piper and certainly not Malik and she dind' tlike the implication that she did. But she knew what Piper was trying to do and she was grateful for it. Of course Sevilin would be a b*****d and she contented herself with visions of the two of them all fried up with apples in their mouths on the table.

Silently in her head she was contemplating the speed in which it would take to hit him and not have him stop her...though if she knew anything, a drow's reactions were top notch weren't they...so really the slapping would have to be held at bay. "I guarentee you...I can be everything but gentle when I truly want to be...Sevilin."
He looked amused at that...and jsut for fun he decided he wanted to push his luck. Malik didn't scare him, but he knew better than to push too hard. "Bugs you that I don't listen, doesn't it? Respect and compliance are different...you shoud know that. And there's one very simple reason why I find it hard to listen to you..." A hand raised, and a finger tapped to her collar. "...that."
Oh, he hit a nerve. The second his hand touched her collar he had the pommel of a sword slammed into his wrist. He may of been faster normally, but when it came to that collar, she was faster. "Touch that again and you loose your hand..." Though it wasn't a satisfying warning...seeing as he only grabbed the pommel and pushed down, forcing the blade down.
Okay...that hurt. And if she was anyone else....she would of gotten ripped apart. Lucky for her Malik was right there. He merely contented himself by using suprior strength and forcing her blade down with all too much ease...and a nice mocking smirk to follow as he flexed hsi fingers to work his wrist a little. She needed to learn to strike harder. "Well I condisder myself duly warned...however on the rune...I'm her teacher, it's part of my teaching method...simple as that..."

Violet eyes hardened and narrowed watching the pair. Yes, Piper had drawn the blade but Sev had touched. And he knew better than to touch. Her own hand went to the hilt of her dagger adn she walked closer ready to strike if necessary. Males and their superior strength. "Better be careful Rune Mage, hurt her and Malik will rip you apart, then what he leaves I'll take care of." A not so subtle warning but then that's the way Zahara worked. A glance at Piper, "Don't worry about it Piper, he and I will come to terms about him putting any kind of rune on me again with or without my permission." A warning glance at Sev and then a glare back at Malik. She was pissy now and she laid a hand on Piper's shoulder. "Come on. He's not worth your time."

Malik paid attention, but said nothing. Let Piper use her authority and handle Sevilin. personally, he didn't care about the rune. Drow men, after all, learned under such circumstance all the time. part of it was control during teaching, the other part was of course to break them into subserviance. get them use to being under someone else's boots, or heels, as the case maybe.
Drumming his fingerson the hilt of Malvolence, inspecting every piece of armor, getting some fixed, rearranging some peices and renforcing others, before being handed a set of scrolls and looking them over, nodding lightly and handing them back.
"All possible entries I want secured. above and below. we have our plans ready adn set, including the failsafe and second wave. WE burn it, bless it, and let the totems do the rest. I want our enemy unable to produce troops though growth."
