Oh well now that wasn't a good idea. Wasn't that like betraying Sevilin? But sock...and he didn't have one like that yet. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Let's search for positives shall we? Well...Sevilin may not be as grumpy about this all. And he didn't have to worry about being crushed by a random outburst from Zahara. Nope, wouldn't want to get crushed. Well...he supposed it couldn't hurt. With a chitter he dropped to the floor and scurried off.
First a stop in Zahara's room...where he climbed up on the bed and burrowed through the bedding, sniffing and searching. Eventually he made his way up to the pillows. Ah ha there, strand of snow what hair on the pillow. Score. He was one drow closer to getting himself a sock! Now for Sevilin. Easy enough. Little skilled paws scratched it up and tucked it amonst his own fur.
Negotiating stairs once more he slipped back into the room with the two drow, made his was over to Sevilin...and pounced the drow's braided hair. Hey they were both used to it, Sev's hair was a wonderful play toy when he was board, espcialyy with it being so long. So a little rough housing before he more or less gnawed loose a short piece and then scurried off again. Of course Sevilin had paid little mind to the familiar action.
Soon enough he was back upstairs, on the bed frame again and giving a chitter. Alright you, give up the sock. Malik wasn't getting anything until he had a sock.

Zahara studied for a little bit longer and then she stood up and nodded to Sevilin, "I'm done, you can stay here if you want..." But she had to go see Piper. So she stacked that book on top of the others laying on the table and headed outside figuring Piper had gone to see the horses. She did indeed find the surface elf and walked up beside her allowing one of the newest additions to sniff her hand before she gently stroked his nose. She'd made her apologies with sugar already and was back in their good graces, thank Lloth for that. "You wanted to see me?" she questioned softly.

He barely gave notice to Nym, and only a noise of acknowledgement to Zahara as she got up. Yes he was momentarily lost in that little runing world that did fasciante him to no end, working to figure out this combination that would prove the best results. He'd be damned if he went to reverie and have that horrible distortion of memory happen again.
Piper gave a smile to Zahra, watchign her a moment with the foals. She really was taken with them wasn't she? "Careful, the zephmares are looking to play with thier fangs...and they're horribly sharp." Proven by Piper holding up a bandaged hand. "But yes I did, we need to talk about that collar of yours don't we. Or more pointedly that it needs to come off."

Glancing worriedly from Piper's bandaged hand back to the horses' mouths she shook her head. "Fangs indeed...joy." But she merely continued to pet at them gently at least until Piper's last statement. That made an impact. Take off her collar? But...well it wasn't really fulfilling its purpose anyway. Averting her eyes for a moment while she rationalized it in her mind she nodded, "I think you're right, but Broog worked so hard on it and I know he'll be upset if we tell him I don't want it anymore...I don't want to upset him. Is there a way we can do it without hurting his feelings?" That a creature like him would even have feelings was remarkable in itself.

"Good. now for my part of the deal. but, I want you to you give me what I need from each. so first, put those items but the portions, and mark it so I know what is what."
and he pulled out a nice, shiny, silky, silver sock and dangled it in from of the ferret.
"And here is the promised sock."

She tilted her head in thought a moment, giving a tug at her bandana around her ears. Hm, how to make that all work. Well, she had a few ideas, inspired by Malik's own mentionings on the issues back when her collar had become 'ineffective'. "Well...I could get it turned off, though that really does nothing against Malik. Just your specific leash would get manipulated." Like how Malik had fixed Piper's own to look the same but loose it's function. She wasn't quite keen on exactly what made a collar a collar, what was it about it's making that allowed it to be controlled by the leash. "I'm afraid I don't really know how they work themselves...maybe we could ask Broog himself and then...wing it? He's very suggestable and has quite the soft sopt for me. Shouldn't be too hard."
Little reds eyes practically gleamed. He definately didn't have one of those yet! Looked so nice to sleep on too. Yeah, this was worth it. It wasn't like he was giving over Sevilin's blood...which the drow had a serious posessive streak about. Dropping off the bed he made his way over to Malik's little work area and took to what appeared to be him grooming himself.
Of course that didn't last long before he had those two white hairs he had fetched from each. Hm...let's see...who's is who's again? A little sniffing then little paws dragged around a litte. Pushing one over to the left and one to the right, the right being manipulated into being curved much like an S. Look at that, Nym could read....somewhat...or at least spell if anything.
Sitting up on his hind legs he looked back to Malik. Alright, there you go, give up the sock you conniving thing.

"wonderful work."
And the sock was duly given over, and two vials of what he was concocting each got a hair, the one with sevilins marked with a black top adn Zahara's with a red top. then both vials but in a larger little pot, and filled it with a wierd looking purple water, and put the lid on.
"Now. if you want, I'll barter the other sock that goes with that, for another small favor of you."

It was eagerly taken with a chitter before dropped and Nym more or less rollled all over it. Sock sock sock sock sock. He so did love socks. And it was so nice feeling and shiny. He loved shiny things.
Oh so now he could get the other sock out of this deal hm? Well that was hard to pass up...well alright. But it had to be a good deal! A really really impotant one that wasn' tjust up to no good. After all, he could refuse this one if he wanted, seeing as he already had the one sock. Okay, so he offered his gaze to Malik again.
Chitter.

"Good."
Then a slight grin, and a pat on his little head.
"This is a very simple task, but important. keep Sevilin occupied till this gets done. shouldn't be but maybe fifteen minutes, and I'll give this to them both and we'll hope for that best that they get along much better."

Nym cocked his head, going for a n** at Malik's fingers at the petting. Not that he meant to bite him it was more of a warning thing. Nym didn't trust Malik as far as he could throw him, and petting just didn't seem his characteristic.
Keep the cranky drow occupied. Okay, easy enough. You better give me that sock though when whatever you're doing is done. Don't and I tell Sevilin. Chitter. Grabbing up his sock he scurried out the room and downstiars. Though he only climbed up Sevilin's pant leg and stuffed his head inside one of hte drow's belt pouches, storing his sock away. Sevilin of course didn't pay any mind, seeing as Nym did that alot.
Leaping up onto the table, he flopped himself in front of Sevilin and halfway on the rune mage's little workings, giving a chitter. Look it Sevilin, I need some attention, I'm a needy little thing, promptly rolling over on his back and looking for a belly scratch. Yeah he could keep him more occupied than he already was now.

Malik only smirked as the rodent took off to do his assigned task. then watching his little pot boil, shimmer, and fizzle for the next fifteen minutes.
"Lets see how those two handle the eyes of erollisi. after all, there's more than one way to skin a cat."
A bit of a chuckle, and just waiting now. Then he woudl get exactly what he wanted. with any luck of course. who knew how a Norrathian potion woudl affect a Labrynithian drow.

Zahara's fingers traced over her collar lightly and she nodded, "I don't have a problem taking it off, I'm not attached to it at all. I just don't really want to upset anyone and maybe it would better if we just turned it off. Then Malik still feels like he has control over me and that might make him happy? I don't know, as you can tell I'm not well versed in the issues of collars. It's up to you Piper, if you think I should just get it turned off then I will. If you think I should take it off entirely, then I can do that too." Another pet at the Zephmares, that one was forever wanting her attention. She felt bad that she'd scared them before but there wasn't much she could to take that back now. Sugar a few days before had helped.

Indeed, Nym was keeping him occupied. Between all of his wanting of attention and then the work that he was trying to get done...well the ferret was winning over the paper. Then again Nym really did get his way a lot when it came to Sevilin. He was about the only one that Sevilin let openly and knowingly manipulate the drow into things. Amusing little ferret.
"Well if you're not attached to it then you may as well take it off. It's not my place to make the decision for you, seeing as I'm biased on the collar issue." In a weird way...she'd never take hers off yet wanted the ones on others off, despite both being the same exact tool that could be used to harm and control. Indeed weird little surface elf. "You know what, don't worry about it just yet. I'll see what info I can get out of Broog first and try to soften the blow of you wanting it off, so to speak. I can handle it."

Zahara nodded, "Alright I think that's probably a good idea." She reached out to pet the Zephmares again and a wave of pain washed over her. she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, one hand pressing lightly against her stomach for a moment. As the pain faded she nodded, "I'll leave you to that then, I have a few things I need to take care of." And Zahara left before anyone else could detain her, running upstairs and closing the door to her room. She knew exactly what this was and it was not going to be fun. A moment later she was curled up in the fetal position on her bed to take away from the pain in her body.
((Note: This is an exit post. Please do not solicit attention from Zahara as you will get no response. thank you. ))

See, she could indeed handle these things. Though she did blink questioningly at Zahara at the little series of actions she displated. Piper was familiar with those ones too, those spoke of pain. "Right, I'll see what I can do." No she didn't bother to ask, she figured Zahara wouldn't tell her anyway. Drow just weren't that open, espcially to something that showed a hint of weakness or flaw in thier strength even it it was temporary. Well now she had to amuse herself...Serino would be gone for at least two days.
