With the ending of his breakfast meal he had taken to doing his little experimental scribblings again. That was the thing about being a master...you had to find something else to do with your art since you knew it all. Good thing he had imagination right?
Zahara? He particularly didn't care if she was studying or not, if she was in reverie then he wouldn't be the one to wake her. Why? Becuase he'd make her life hell when it came to test time. If she didn't know her stuff...well that was probably Malik's department or something.
Though at her whimpering and what not...that was just annoying to him and that was when he decided to step in, a flick of his wrist and a ruen scribed in the air that transfered to her propped book, only to light up on the cover and make the book fall forward on her head.
Piper was already up and about. She had things to do after all, and she'd rather not subject herself to watching Malik get up and do his things that morning. What could she say, she loved him but she couldn't stand to see him push himself like that at all. It hurt him and it hurt her. So here she was, up early and dressed in what could be considered travel clothing, wearing her bandana so that it pinned back her ears. In her hand she held a pair of ropes and at the end of those ropes...were two little foals. But they weren't Ramoth's and Serino's. No these were from her father, and Keely was downstairs taking care of a few other shipped in Andal things. But Piper was headed out to the stables to intermingle horses. These two weren't Zephmares but they were crossbreeds. These were winged Zephyrs...curtesy of Nerian and Anica.

Damn reveries, why did bad ones have to pop up every now and then? She felt something smack her head but was so lost in the reverie she didn't realize what had happened and just stayed the way she was. It was probably a realy funny picture to see her sleeping, her book laying on top of her head. Almost like a delayed reaction a few moments after that book had plopped on her head, she shot up and stared at him. "I wasn't in reverie! Don't do things like that!" She slapped the book back down on the table and opened it back to the page she'd been on, running her finger down the page and finding the spot she'd been when she'd dropped off into reverie. "Keep your hands to yourself Inthara, unless you'd like to lose them." Cross was really not the word to describe her today. She was snapping every few seconds...didn't bode well for the rest of their study time or the day for that matter.

It was comical to an extent really...she laying head down on the table, book on top of her head. And her delayed reactions and accusations at him along with her denials only made him smirk and chuckle. "You're the one denying that you were. And for your information I did keep my hands to myself, didn't lay a finger on you."
Mocked of course with the wiggling of his fingers. Then another chuckle, someone was in a horrible mood now weren't they? He was enjoying her displeasure very very much. "Could of always hit you with something harder, remember that."
Piper had taken two little tan and white colored horses to thier new little herd and was currently cleaning up the place a bit. What with foals making a mess of the place and what not. Piper doing such low work? Go on. No, she liked to do it...Malik probably wouldn't like her doing it but it kept her busy...and she hadto supervise till four foals got along.
Our dad is a Zephyr too. I thought mom called him an idiot? She was being affectionate to him...yeah so our dad is a zephyr so why don't we have wings?
Cause you get fire from your mama. Our mama has wings, so we got her wings. Aren't they pretty? But we can't fly yet. We will soon though the funny blue haired elf said we could learn here.
You have a funny haired elf too? Neat.

That set her off...for some unknown reason. She just suddenly got really really upset and she stood up and slapped her palms down on the table. "Fine." She lifted the book in her hand and threw it right past his head crashing into the wall and flopping open on the floor. There was a whole stack of books beside her and she turned into a madwoman launching them all in his general direction. "I don't need to deal with this today!!!"Nope, not a happy elf.

A raised eyebrow and his head turned to follow the direction of the tossed book. "Hey, those are a tad bit fragile!" And then a look back to her as he was clipped in the shoulder from another launched book. The third was caught and set on the table. When she was out of books he merely glared down the table at her.
"Acting such a child, really." Getting up he picked up the other two that had been flopped on the floor and then stacked them neatly on top of the one on the table. Really, he wasn't doing much to provoke her and she was all over his case. Women. See, now his mood just went bad...thanks woman... "Alright then, go pout and reverie in your room if you don't want to do this. You have a test coming up and it's not my fault if you don't wish to apply yourself to your studies and thus embarass yourself." Said through gritted teeth. Zahara just had the ability to make him angry so easily.
Four little foals were taking considerably well to each other, and Serino wasn't posing problem either. Ramoth? No idea what that horse was thinking at all but she was at least you know...not trying to kill the two new little additions. But that could of been because Piper was there, but she'd worry about that later. Right now she was distributing sugar cubes among horses and brushing them down and what not. Yup, this was relaxing for her and Gods knew she would need it for when Malik was up and doing Malik like things that made her worry over him. Really that elf.

Malik was doing his work, at present down in teh Necromancers laboratory, looking over thier studies. one souless was laying on a table, twitching, undgoing who knows what at the hands of necromancer trying to figure out how the soulless were created. So far, no real luck. they were assuming it had more to do with teh porcess in which they were grown, rather than something done during it.
"bring Laudi to me when the opportunity presents itself. she was there, a captive perhaps, but I get the feeling she had more to do with this than we might first think."
Back to moving, slow but sure, to the vault. yes, everything in there was in order. then back upstairs, and writing out a penned letter to Jiscal. it was rather enjoyable. Malik was simple, and offering food, mostly items being shipped through form Andal, in exchage for access to the halls of power. Malik wanted to be in council, to know what was going on, and to have the ability to influence it. of course with a slightly vieled threat that if this generous offer was rejected, he coudl always simply take it. after all, starving people would flock to those that coudl feed them. and Jiscal was already known to have at least one person that want to usurp him.
Then sending that off via carrier bat, he moved his way down toward the dining area to see how Sevilin and Zahara were doing.
Nightmare was rather pleased. Piper scored major brownie points bringing her more foals for her herd. and winged ones no less. they woudl make fine additions..if they were strong enough. in her home plane, the Pegasus was the Nightmare anti-thesis. like surface elf to drow. so having power over them, being in charge of them, was quite an accomplishment as far as she was concerned.
Piper even got a nudge and a nicker.

Keely had only given a blink to Malik as he had made his way down to play around the portal as well. Though that was all she did. Went about her business and stayed out of his way really, had done one or two things for him when he asked and then had made her way upstairs to Malik and Piper's room, setting something wrapped in brown paper on Piper's dresser.
Sevilin had only sighed as his eyes moved to Malik as he came in. Oh by Lloth, did he have to come by to play principal now? She was being difficult and tempers were spiking. But he only shook his head as Zahara had taken to plopping in her chair and brooding as well as ignoring them both. Stupid woman.
A look back to Malik. "Lord D'vinn."
"Hey you four, calm it down some before I have to seperate you all..." What did little foals do with each other? Play fought and rough housed of course. Really, they were cute. And quite fascinated with each other too...after all, two had wings and two had fire...they were having a good old time poking and proding, nipping and pulling at each other. It was adorable really. Knocking the color out of each other two, they were enjoying that. But the attention from Ramoth gained her own and she leaned against the stall door to pet at the flame and shadow born horse. "Good to know you're pleased." At least she believed those were pleased things...she knew her horses well after all. She gave a tug at her bandana, not quite used to her ears being pinned back anymore. Though her thoughts drifted idly to Malik...which she tried to make those thoughts positive...and not go hit him.

"How is she progressing, Sevilin?"
A look at Zahara, and the mark of grease on Sevilin's tunic. a slight smirk back at her, and then noting she was naked under that sheet probably. well sevilin did keep his word, didn't he.
Nightmare leaned her head over Piper's shoudler, being a bit affectionate. yes, she was pleased. Serino, dear..handle the new foals before they get thier wings burnt, would you?
yes thier playing was nice, but firey hooves, manes and tail coudl still accidentally burn flapping wings.

How was she progressing...hm would a negative answer get Malik on his case or did he have to place nice? He hated playing nice...no character was built that way. You ended up like a surface elf. Speaking of those, seemed Malik didn't have his little play thing tagging along with him today. How pleasant.
"As one might expect someone of her...age and temperment...to progress. Slowly and stubbornly, but hopefully she's learning something and not just sitting there being annoying." Honesty mixed with a mask of positive feedback...he didn't need Malik calling him an incompetent teacher or anything, Zahara was just a bad student.
"Though we'll see how well she's doing a a week or two's time when she goes through a little test run. Considering the amount of material, we'll know easily enough if she's being tenative." Yup, talking as if she wasn't even there.
She smiled, giving a soft melodic laugh as hands left her pinned ears alone and took to resting on the nightmare's snout, petting lightly and scratching at her ears some. When Ramoth wanted to, she could be quite affectionate and pleasant. "At least you behave yourself when you need to, Malik could learn a thing or two from you sometimes I think." If anything, Ramoth had a little more tolerance for things than Malik did. Though it would be hightly interesting to see Malik's actions around children too. Well...children that were his own. Another pet at Nightmare with a laugh at foals who were still knocking each other around.
He was munching superficialy on some oats. He was the only one that didn't have to eat at all out of the bunch but he was having his own fun...he just liked the taste. But a nicker to the mare that he usually listened to. Eh what could he say he liked her and she was good company and was at least nice to him. But a paw at the ground, kicking up some wind at the little foals who were playing some sort of version of tag or something. Okay you all, that's enough exploring our differences...don't want any accidents. Those feathers are flammable and you two can't control what your fire does yet.
They did indeed calm down at that, all four were used to zephyr made winds and it sort of had a calming effect, just like mom's fire was a comfort to her own foals. The other two weren't so keen on the fire thing but they'd get used to it. Thus they did thier normalties, back to easy play and snacking on random thigns.

Today was not the day to mess with her. She stared sullenly at the books and shook her head. Dammit, why couldn't they all just leave her alone? A glare at Malik, "Who the ******** cares?" Shoving the books on the floor once again she glared at Sevilin, "I am still here you know! ANd I can hear every lloth damned word you're saying. At the very least you could wait until I got out of the room!" Then she rounded on Malik, "And what are you going to do if I fail, hmm? Kick me out? Stop feeding me? Spank me like a little kid? What? Perhaps I should just fail on ******** principle!"
She clutched that sheet even tighter to her body and took a deep breath. "For three days now I have had to deal with your a** telling me what to do and when to get up and you dragging me out of my ******** bed at the earliest hour you possibly could. I'm sick of it! You sit there and watch me for two hours and then you leave. I can't even ask you a question if I have one and frankly I'm tired of it. If I'm a bad student, you're a bad teacher! And you!" A glare at Malik, "You want someone to know runes. Sit your ******** a** down and learn them yourself!" Getting progressively more and more and more pissed as her little rant went on her hands were clenched on the sheet and her eyes were sparking fire. She was the epitome of Drow in tha tmoment.

"Very good. we'll find out then if she's behaving and doing what she needs to do."
A look at Zahara during her rant, and a chuckle.
"How about I chain you to the chair, and make you relearn it. And I have other things to occupy my time, rather than this. you, on the other hand, have nothing else but time. since you have no other duties here, I want you to learn this. simple as that."
So out to the stables, and well well. two new horses, or foals. winged ones too.
"Since when did we get two winged foals?"
Leaning on the doorframe, damn it his legs hurt bad. But that was the price he paid, adn he was willing to pay it.
"And I see you got around Sevilin. So what are you going to do with those two new foals?"
Nightmare just snorted at him. My new foals. and I'll do what I damn well please. thier mine, not yours, keep your grubby blue hands off. My feathered little pretty ones. and my special little firebrands.
And she gave Piper another affectionate nuzzle. you keep him away from teh foals..I know where the cinnamon stash is, remember?

Zahara only got a raised eyebrow look from him and the slow turning of his head in her direction as she began on a rant...no it wasn't a rant, it was a tirade. Now usually an angrily screaming woman would unnerve him...especially one who was wearing nothign but a sheet. So why not her? He'd proven he could kick her a** already, thus eliminating the nervous factor. Good.
He crossed his arms, nodded to Malik as he left and simply turned a mocking smirk on Zahara. She was cranky now wasn't she? Though he unfortunately thought he had a good idea why, damn it. "Well...like I said, you're the one who is making this hard on yourself so you can blame you." By Lloth the woman could yell.
"If you want to avoid someone who gets up dark and early, you have to simply get up when it's darker and earlier. And I couldn't reverie so I decided to occupy my time with these guys. Got them in early this morning as well." THough a chuckle as one Zephyr relayed messages of one nightmare and the mare was duly pet and nuzzled at before Piper crouched down to gain the attention of foals with sugar cubes, petting over them. "At least Ramoth's taking to them easy, then again who couldn't." Yes she was enjoying this all, even when they felt the need to n** at her hair and bandana...simple things fascinated. "What do you think I'm going to do with them? New blood in a herd to get more crosses, imagine it, nightmares with wings of flaming feathers." One of her many little fun thoughts. Though she looked to him now. "And how are you feeling, dare I ask?"

She'd love to jsut pick up those books and hsove them right into Malik's lap. "Chain me to the chair and make me learn them? It's impossible and I'll merely fail again and again just to spite you until you give up!" she called after Malik before dropping angrily into teh chair and tapping those nails with one hand while the other held that sheet in place. She glared at Sevilin, "I'm makign this hard? I'm making this hard?! You're the one who's insisting on this dark and early crap but I'm mkaing this hard. You're a bad teacher but I'm makign this hard! You are so irritating I just want to ooohhhhh!!!" With nothing better to do she picked up one those books that she'd shoved to the floor and pounded her fist onto the cover. "I hate you both." she snapped.

"Yes you are making this hard with yout incessant complaining about the situation. You're supposed to be an adult, you should act like one. Or are you still in the mindset of a spoiled little priestess girl? If that's the case, you might as well forget those days for those who catered to you silly whims aren't here are they?"
"So then grow up and learn to like your situation. Things won't always go your way and that's just how it is, woman." A smirk at her and a scoff, oh he didn't want to deal with her attitude at all. "Hate me all you want, it won't change a thing."

"I will act however the hell I choose to act and maybe if you quit acting like my father I wouldn;t act like a spoiled little child! Or maybe if you would let me sleep longer...or something. I don't even know naymore." Maelstrom of emotions, the storm had come, blustered and now was passng through. sHe wasn't quite so upset anymore though she still felt pissy. Violent mood swings? Her mind mulled over differnt possibilites and she flipped the book back open and stared at a page. Oh no...say it isin't so.
