Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Soon. Planning on entering yourself, little snake?"

Malik simply was there behind them, arms crossed lightly, in his full armor including the helm. no hint of blue skin, only back mithril and shining steel. his cold grey eyes reguarding them both cooly.

"we saw Morelle earlier in our room. he seemed to be looking for someone, or something. Three guesses as to the persons or item he was looking for."

Malik kept an eye out though, for Piper. She had wanted to look for fletching supplies to make some arrows, and he was indulging her, and had spread a little sublte rumor that if someone was selling fletching supplies...they better make them available.


"Thanks, little sister. and I hoep your right. isn't this a big day for you. you went from all alone to having a new cousin and two brothers. Awfully special, wouldn't you think?"

A poke at her Viod lightly with his claw.

"So much for bad luck, huh."

"Not so sure actually, I think that it might be fun. Like I said to Moonstone I haven't had a good fight since my dad used to train me as a kid, that was years ago. I think he would have loved watching you fight, might have joined in, but the whole mortality thing, killed him." she said with a sad smile. "You look rather regal in that armor by the way." she commented.

"Well then. All we have to do is hope Piper shops up soon. Things are going to get started. See?" He pointed, people had begun to fill the seets. They were carrying favors, scarves, flags and the like, with their favorit contestants coat of arms on them. Moonstone grinned. His family hadn't had a coat of arms, people would fiind themselves hard pressed to cheer for him.

Malik shrugged lightly, glacning at teh crowds. most the halfbreeds carried his coat of arms, or Piper's. though several carried guards and the like.

"Elias was a killer. I am a slaver. we both chose paths that are on the darker side of things. But Elias and I...that was the width of our similarity. He was human, and I am Tier'Dal..and that's all the difference there ever needs to be."

Malik waited for Piper however, and watching for the other feline.

"Did someone inform your twin that he should be coming this way by now?"

Piper had indeed been finding things to do fletching with. Lucky for her. But she was being paranoid about things now, distinctly knowing that she was being followed. She tried to ignore it, after all she wasn't in trouble or anything...and Malik was always a scream away. Not to mention a good loud whistle would bring Serino to her side. But now with her supplies in hand she was weaving her way back through the crowds toward the spot where she first departed from the little group itself...trying to not look over her shoulder. Easily enough she made her way back to them, coming to stand next to Malik with a look over to the things that were going on. "Seems these festivities are getting underway then?"

"Yes, someone's been tailing me this whole time. Though I don't think any harm is coming of it. Maybe makes me a little uneasy but I don't think it's anything to worry about." She nodded at him, giving him a smile. "I'm fine." Another look back to the movement before she looked back to the group. "Remember boys, don't go about giving each other concussions and taking all the fun out of everything." Another look to Malik. "Of course I'm staying the in the stands and I'm going to stay out of trouble...as best I can." Easier said than done for her.

Malik nodded to Piper, and gave her a gentle hug, then a whistle as Nightmare, his nightmare..came at him in a gallop, and he lept up with an ease and grace you wouldn't think for a man in full armor. of course nightmare had her armor on as well, and he trotted in, nodding lightly and trotting aroudn most other participants like a lord surveying soldiers..before taking his wooden sword in hand and his place, letting the Nightmare pace herself back to the temporary stables, reserved for mount that people would be using for the jousting.


Onyx let them lead Ironsides as well, petting the lizard's muzzle lightly. and giving a grin to Piper.

"No concussions? then how are we going to get Moonstone to ever stop being the 'wise and resonable' one?"

Then he took up his wooden sword, swinging it a bit, mroe to get a feel of it, and took his position by Moon.

"this is going to be so much fun."

Ironsides did not obiediantly go to the stables, as the Nightmare did. He instead scaled the wall, sitting along it, waiting to be called. His color almsot camoflaughed him against the stonework.

Bode still did not understand the boy comment. What about the boys? Ah well. Didn't really matter. Up in the stands, she did not sit but stood on her seet, bouncing with energy. She loved to watch this. "Daddy used to take me here! He used to let me watch everything, cause no one actually got deaded in here."

"No concusions." He held his sword behind his back like the others. "Esentially, avoid blows to the face," he looked at the gaurd in front of him, pointed to the man's back. "Unless it's that guy."

He would try sometihng tricky today. He would call Cheif and Saka while fighting, so no one say his ritual, and so that the battle would drown out the incantations. Saka would help Onyx, Cheif moonstone. That was the plan. He would call one fore Malik, but he was pretty sure the guy could handle himslef.

"Oh yes. Very fun."
