"Built in?" She looked at her staff. No...it wasn't built in...'
"Hmm." She made a sound in the back of her throat, which meant that yes, they had gotten the seafood. But her mind was on other things, food was far away.
Again she pointed. "There we are. You can see the sails."

"As in, I have fangs, claws, wings, natural demonic energies. built in weapons, part of what and who I am."
He saw the sails, and grumbled lightly, but di das he was instructed, making a dive down toward teh ship. a slow and steady decline, but starting high enough that anoyn looking might not catch him there until too late to really stop him from landing on the deck. Nope, still didn't trust them.

"Point. My staff is not a toy."
She put her feet on the deck, happy to have something solid underneath her. Save for the occasional dragonback ride, flying wasn't her thing. "Stop being so catty. They're only elves."
"We're casting off! Head for somepleace closer to Honoursfield."
She slung her bow across her shoulders, hanging her wrists over it while the crew shoved off. "So what are you doing out here?"

"Doing what I do. hunting, killing, skinning, eating. being part of the wild. But I was thinking about you, and as such decided to come and see you. I haven't been back to the fortress or anyplace else for quite some time. what about you? when did you go from Tarathiel's pet to ship captian?"

She sneered at him. "Pet?"
"Co-captain," with a nod to Celeste.
"I've been here since the Oracle was moved into the castle. I was not allowed to follow her, I needed a place. A ship is as good as any. Allows me to look after my charge."

"I don't see a better way to put it. you live and die by the whims of a not entirely sane drow pirate. Desipite your obvious thoughts to the contrary. But, I also promised I would protect you if needed. and a pissed off dragon I think qualifies."
Not to mention help restore his own sense of honor be keeping and doing the job that damned captian and minotaur embarassed him at.
"Not to mention this whole mess is probably his fault to begin with. keeping her guard outside."

She rolled her eyes at all of them, she was really tired of all the company. She'd had her little outburst and another one wouldn't do her much good but hell she wanted to have one. So badly. Malik was too being an a**, that's all he knew. After all, he was an a**, plain and simple, he did what he did best. She shot a look at Sevilin for a moment unsure exactly what he meant by that comment but chose not to say another word. Because dammit, she was trying to study. And she really was. Her nose was buried in the book and she was running her finger along those bumpy pages. Of course at Piper's statement she looked at the surface elf for a moment, her brows knit and then nodded, "Alright." Now what was that about? Was she going to get lectured for fighting with Malik? Which really wasn't fair since Piper couldn't go two steps without getting miffed at Sevilin. Now why did she care about that? Piper and Sevilin could be at each other's throats for all she cared. Damn instincts...they were turning her mind upside down.

"Live and die, mm? Funny, I didn't see him give brith to me. And I don't exactly remeber deing either."
"We all offer our loyalties to one person or ideal. I offer mine to Tarathiel, because if I didn't, I would have nothing to do."
She shrugged. "Whether it is or it isn't is not a concern of mine. I want my mother back. That is all that matters. As for the dragon..." she looked back in the direction they came from. "I'm not sure him being near her at the time would have made any difference."

Malik nodded.
"Yes indeed."
Then a slight raise of his brow at Sevilin and Zahara...hmm...what was Piper planning this time. but he let that slide. and he knew he had to hid that little delivery. if Piper knew what it was for she'd gut him. well..first she'd beat him, then she'd gut him.
But then with a devilishly roguish smile, and a kiss to Piper, he went down to the Gate to get his care package from Fianna. hell Fianna didn't know why he wanted what he asked for, but for a wood realm elf...they were easy enough to come by. mostly roots and flowers and buds from certain plants.
"In that case, I'll offer my services as a hunter. I can track, kill, scout, whatever needs down. by land or air. not to mention my sense of smell can let me track scents when other trails go cold."
And it would keep him by Whirlwind.

She watched him walk off with that look of baffled indifference. "Sometimes I think I worry about what he does in his free time..." Hm, though he had something off the books did he? Well she supposed it was only fair...after all, she had one or two things off the books. Though her look turned back to Zahara and Sevilin...great she was alone with them. "Try to be civil?" That said she wandered off into the kitchen to rifle through cabinets and pantries, looking for some specific things she needed for this runing agent. Pity surface stuff was hard to come by. Of course then a brilliant idea and she made her way outside to the stables. "Serino, Amin utuneer cam."
Ah, boss was gone and his thing who thought she was boss was gone too. Blissful quiet, the only sound being that oif turning pages from both drow, each looking through tomes for answers. "If you want, we can take off early today, seeing as it's been particularly stressful on the both of us."
He wasn't being nice, he just had some things to do. Especially as he was now copying something from the pages in front of him onto another sheet of paper.

Wary eyes watched him closely, this wasn't a trick? He was actually going to let her stop early when he had been so damn precise about her time for the last days? "Well, if you want to..." She'd probably continue to study but if he really wanted to knock off early that was fine with her. Practicing by herself worked better anyway since he wasn't there to distract her and annoy her with his good looking self. She really had to get over these damn instincts, they were driving her crazy. Her eyes went back to the book before her and she grabbed a piece of paper and began to write down the different uses for each rune as well as the adaptations for armor, defensive measures and offensive. Each rune could be manipulated for a direct purpose if it was done right and she had to learn them all. Dammit.

"Very well then, whatever you please." It was about the only show of lienience he had really ever given. And he wouldn't be giving it if he wasn't feeling like he'd been trampled several times and what not. Besides, time could always be made up and he could always schedule according to his own needs and then run her through it, though he could care less if she liked it or not.
But he didn't get up. So it was a very very stifling silence in the room, punctuated only by the sounds of various mediums scratching on papers as both were making thier own notes on things, though Sevilin was more of working on a combo chain.
So then, Serino was gone. And hopefully he'd find what she needed and get it all back in a short time. Till then she was tending to horses as she had started to taking to doing everyday. Those foals were all about exposure. Though she was much more mindful of thier little fangs this time. But they were getting occassional pops to their noses and they tried to chew random things, or bite and the little winged companions.

Back up in his room with teh little care package, going through a trunk in teh closet, flipping through books and stacks of notes. Ah. there it was. just what he was looking for. and flipping through the pages till he found the exact recipe, memorizing it, and then putting things back the way they were. Then a hand on Malvolence, he hadn't tried this before but what the hell why not. lets see if telepathy worked on animals.
Nym...mind joining me for a second? I have a favor to ask, and in return I have a nice sock for you if you agree.

Runes affected him in more than on way, making him more than the average animal. He was quite the intelligent little fellow to begin with as well. Nym, the little ferret who was lying on his back under Sevilin's chair and had been there since books were being throw. He was little boned after all and those crushed easily. But his ears twitched at some whisper of a voice that he wasn't sure of. His name.
Oh wait, I know that voice...it's Sev's boss. What is he doing in my head? Sitting up a moment a back paw rapidly scratched at his ear. Favor? I don't do favors for anybody but Se-...wait did he say sock? Hm...that was hard to turn down. Okay, he'd bite.
Slinking out of the rooma and following close to walls, his nose twitching, he followed it. Up the stairs and down the hall to Piper and Malik's room, poking his head around the door, wearily looking around a moment before dashing in and climbing up the sheets on the bed to sit on the bedframe. You said sock. Chitter.

"Yes, yes I did. provided you do the little task I ask of you. I have a concotion here that will make Sevilin and Zahara mroe tolerable of eachother. thus, less yell, less running off, and less throwing things. however, it requires a peice of them. a hair, a drop of blood, nothing extravagant. if you can fetch me something like that from each of them, I'll give you a spidersilk sock."
A look over at the the ferret, since whiel talking after hearing him crawl on teh bed and chitter, while portioning out the various indgedients as needed.
"Do we have a deal?"
