"Didn't have to. Kimmuriel's wizard probably felt the change when the Lich died, and thus Kimmuriel knows and so the Oracle knows. but I'll send a notice if you'd like."
He knew that tone, the cold, deatached she didn't like it built she'll live with it tone.
"not alot at all."
This was an old, old arguement. she didn't like his slaving, but she coudln't also find something as lucrative to replace it. slavery was big buisness in the underdark, amoung other places. Of course if she foudn somethign as good, he woudl consider switching professions.

"And since when did you trust Tarathiel to do anything? He could know and not be telling her, she can't see things that involved him anyway, you know that. I mean he's the one that has her locked away in some Gods forsaken thing he built. I don't trust him or like him anymore than I do Sevilin." She just could not get along with these other drow at all could she? Then another side glance to him, recognizing the short worded response to her own tone that she knew she had used. If she had used it intentionally was the real question. Though now that she had all this free time to play wiht, what with no wanderlust to deal with well she could be inventive. "Slow days happen."

"I trust Kimmuriel as far as I can throw him. But I do know that he has a special attachment to the Oracle, or have you not guessed as much? which brings me to the conclusion things dangerous to her will be under high scrutiny by him."
A smile though.
"I'll send a message to verify to them what they might already know, just in case. and yes, we all have slow days from time to time. But I'm sure you'll find ways to keep the time from droning on too badly."

"I don't care what he has to the oracle, or anything about him. I'd rather put him and Sevilin into a pit together and have them either beat the hell out of each other or find some nice inventive way to do it myself." So noted...Malik was the only make Underdark elf she liked at all it seemed. And to think, he was the one with the 'things change' policy and the upbeat attitude. Even she could be pused too far. Though a raised eyebrow to her. "Oh so it's up to me to keep your day from droning eh? Is that your younger self showing to keep up with me or do you merely think I actually do get into as much as you think I do?"

"Merely knowing that without a bunch of things to do, I'm sure your dislike of my trade will keep you occupied trying to find alternatives, and that will keep me occupied considering them."
A chuckle.
"And of course the horses will keep you more than entertained."

"Which I'm sure will be quite the epic battle of opinions and preferences." So then...why did she put up with it? Firstly...it was Malik, she loved him and tolerated it for that first reason right off. Secondly...she really couldn't complain about the plushy lifestyle the money brought in. Though if you asked her, she would be just as happy if they were dirt poor and living in a cave somewhere or something along those lines. The finer things in life had never impressed her honestly. Though a look to said horses who were causing as much chaos as they could possibly manage before mom or dad took turn interevening. "Yes, yes they will." One of those challenging little grins. "Who knows, when I get thing going, I might start out selling you. Horses hold up so much better than humans after all. Especially these guys." Yes she had to go there and tease as she rocking on her heels once.

A smirk.
"But humans breed easier and sell faster...becuae they are alot easier to replace. breeds of horses are rare as ours are more difficult to come by, and you've limited stock to breed with."
yes he could tease right back.
"Besides, you can't enjoy a horse for all the little pleasures you might think of. some require more..compatible species."
yes, he did go there.

Did he have to go there and kill the comraderie that had been building? Of course he did, he knew how to get under her skin all to easily. Thus she sniffed, and crossed her arms, fingers tapping on her arm a moment. "Only difficult if you don't have connections, but I have plenty of those now don't I? And you'd be surprised how fast a Zephyr can breed among thier own." Well of course she had to get another Zephyr...needed to keep some pure bloods in the mix. Nightmare was her little problem in that regard...fickle horse. "Well, we'll just see now won't we D'Vinn?" She let her head tilt lightly before taking a moment to tie her bandana on and over her ears, not caring about the blood on the thing, eh it was all red anyway. "Must let things pan as they may."

A slight chuckle.
"I wouldn't know. after all, the only mare I've ever had was Ramoth. You are the expert horsewoman..and I am the slave trader. but why don't we go inside a bit, get something to eat, and let me show you a few things."

"Well you'll get to learn something then now won't you? Just like all the other little surface elf thigns I've been exposing you to all these years. Though I wouldn't quite call me the expert..." Didn't comment on the slave trader part, after all, she liked to turn a blind eye to it and she was doing just that. But another look at him, raising an eyebrow. "Show me some things?" Well...that could be one of two ways she could take it, so she just went for idle curiosity. Though eating...well she would see about that.

A gesture back into the fortress.
"Yes, show you a few things. after you, of course. and I am sure that you will like them. Ladies first."

A blink at him before one of those little so what shrugs of hers and she turned, starting back towards the fortress, but turning mid step so that she was walking backwards and facing him as he walked. "Sometimes I think I worry about what goes on in your head." The horses? They were okay to be left on thier own and could easily take themselves back to thier stable and what not. But she turned back around, walking into the place.

"Of course you do. even when you do know what goes on in my head you worry about it."
So back inside, to the table, a shake of his head at Zahara.
"Try not to scratch the table. it's elddar wood, not gotten from around here."
Then back to meal time. lunch was brought out, for everyone, and yes, Zahara's cinnamon cake was already a recipe to add, along with other cinnamon goodies and plain sticks, as well as a packet sat by Malik's hand.
"Take a look at these, will you? tell me what you think."
Sliding it over to Piper, inside were pictures. sometimes gnomish toys were good for something. cathedrals, what passed as groves of trees in the underdark, small churches, various places that one might consider a wedding at. then of course cakes designs. sketches mostly there.

A smile. "Only because those thoughts can cross into the realm of unfavorable." Zahara? She only got a polite nod and a look from Piper. Hey she wasn't going to say anythign to the woman only to get her head chewed off. Passive as ever was the surface elf. Though the amounts of cinnamon present in lunch had her raising an eyebrow at him as she plopped down in a chair. She briefly recalled a talk that had had once when back in Neriak...that she ate too much of the stuff and it was going to go to her head one day. Seemed Malik would rather encourage that. However that inquisitive little blink as he slid the packet over to her and it was duly taken, things being taken out and looked through. Well well, Malik had been a busy boy hadn't he? A smile and a look over to him. "Why A'mael, you've been doing things in your free time haven't you?" Though pretty soon she had a pile of her favorties going on the table there...mostly 'outside' venues, only about thwo or three buildings in there. Of course one could catch that glint of every little girl's dream of getting married in her eyes as she thumbed through everything there. "When did you find the time to get all of this together...or rather paid someone off to?" Hey she never knew, but she was touched really, still looking through and forming opinions in her head.

Hmm, just for that she accidentally slipped and scratched the table. "Whoops. THat was a complete and total accident." How dare he say that to her? She was workin gher a** off because Sevilin had decided to leave wihtout helping to clean up and he tells her not to scratch the damn table! No, don't worry about it Zahara, the slaves will take care of it, or here why don't you use this and pull out some miracle solution or a spell that will take care of it! No. Dont' scratch teh table. "b*****d.." she muttered under her breath as she continued to chisel at the runic circle. Damn thing, why did she have to make it on the table agian? And why was Malik coming in and bothering her? A glance over at the pictuers for a moment before she shook her head and returned to her task. Then a grin at Piper, "Why hello Piper, how are you?" No, Malik go nothing nice out of her. she dind' tlike him, he didn't like her, it was a rather nice hate-hate relationsihp.
