Indeed they were deceiving. A mage made it look so simple, just a tracing of your fingers on a weapon or something like that when in fact it was a lot more difficult. It took concentration and extensive study to even get to the point of being able to merely trace your fingers along a weapon. that part go to Zahara, she wasn't afraid of working hard, on the contrary she was well aware that it was going to take work. But she didn't want to wait as long as she was going to be forced to if she wanted to be good at it. Sighing softly she shook her head, "Well at least I got it." She shrugged her shoulders, "I didn't want to spend half a day scraping it off the table and by undoing the heated aspect of it, it actually saves more of the substance causing you to use less and therefore make it last longer."

"Indeed you did. And small leaps are the beginnings to great bounds and from there, well one can only hope they are granted wings to rise above the other challenges that come with time." If you had asked Sevilin, he may be a Master and have his 'wings' but they were long ago broken and crippled. And gliding was never as good as flying.
"Your resourcefulness is definately a thing to be commended. After all, I'm sure gathering all the ingrediants and the thereafter making of the concoction wasn't the most fun thing in the world. I remember it to not be anyway. Any way that is found to make things easier without ruining original work is to be well remembered and used often though not to excess."
A little pleasant chuckle. "Besides, a little hands and knees scrubing never hurt anyone." Hell, Sevilin actually enjoyed cleaning for some reason. Probably a twisted one at that.

"This are sailing as smoothly as a ship on a glass ocean."
Though overhearing the conversations between Zahara and Sevilin was amusing to say the least. he was acctually being civil and relatively nice. that stuff he drugged them with must be working.
"Besides, I can occasionally lounge aroudn my home. after all your the one that is constantly talking about me needing to take breaks."
A smile and a kiss for her, tracing over her exposed back and arms with hsi fingers lightly.
"And don't worry so much, you look fine."

"I suppose that's to say a ship on a glass ocean with a fair wind in the sails?" Weren't metaphors and symbolism fun? Indeed they were. Much like innuendos. Though with a little chime like melodic laugh she crossed her arms loosely. "And since when do you listen to me on that matter? I'm beginning to think that we've in some freakish way, have reversed our ways of thinking. You seem to be getting laid back and I seem to be worrying about the things gone amuck lately. When, dear Malik, did that shift occur?" Indeed, it was a good rhetorical question, almost like she was trying to compensate for his lack of fervent warfare and welfare attitude. "Not that you don't need then, because you most certinally do." Though she soothed slightly under his what could be considered appreciative touches. "Says you...I'm still getting used to being openly exposed in public...even if everything important to my dignity is covered up.

"Oh I worry. more so than you think. but when I worry, and plot, and scheme, it makes you stressed out and worry even more. so yes, I can take a day or so off and lay back abit. Not to mention there's a little humorous show to be seen between the other two drow."
A chuckle at her, and runnign a hand through her hair lightly.
"I too have given thought to the missing oracle. and I still come ot the conclusion that the only one who woudl bother to take her is either Din, or perhaps Tarathiel's jealous sister."
Though back to teh fire, taking a nice relaxing seat, snapping his fingers for a servant to bring him some wine.

"In other words, we feed into each other's moods and actions...which is really how it should be anyway. Though I do appreciate the time you take off to lower my easily stressed level of tolerance. Probably best that we both relax and start into more chaotic situations with clear heads anyway. Foggy minds make for faulty decisions as I've been told before." Piper gave a shake of her head, then sighed lightly. "I suppose I'm just a little concerned because I know Tarathiel won't even give a scrap of information this way, be it faulty or not. Meaning if we want to know anything we have to find out by ourselves somehow." Though as he retreated to his seat she followed and plopped on the floor cross legged by his feet, resting her head on his knee. It was a semi formed habit from playing slave games in Neriak, though she never seemed to notice or mind. Triple colored eyes side glanced up at him with one of those 'what am I going to do with you' smiles. "You're enjoying those two too much sometimes I swear. Like a child with a new toy."

"And we'll get what information we need, don't worry about that."
Running hsi hand through her hair, he rather liked her sitting like that, maybe it was an old habit, to expect women to seat themselves at his feet in the very back of his mind. but a chuckle at her smile and comment.
"Well, they are amusing to watch when you put them together. a regular show. and when was the last time I have other Drow to torment to my whims for humor value?"

It was nice, every once in a while, to be complemented for what you could do and she had worked hard on that substance that she'd basically created from scratch. Well, she had the original recipe to work off of but she had had to find the agent to soften the gel and make it more malleable without destroying it's consistency and it really was a lucky break that she'd found it as fast as she had. "Thank you, Sevilin, that means..." she cut the sentence off right there lest she reveal too much and end up making a fool of herself. She knew far too well how he reacted around women and with the current pattern her thoughts had been taken she didn't want to risk upsetting him. Getting along for once was kind of nice, she wouldn't want it all the time since fighting with him was just as enjoyable but they could get along a lot more and she'd be just fine with it. Though she grimaced, "I hate cleaning....so much."

"Hopefully body parts will not have to be maimed and broken to get that information. Wrenching such things from unwilling people is so very time consuming after all." Piper raised her head up and crossed her arms on Malik's knee now before resting her head back down on her arms as he petted through her hair, no doubt messing up the uniformed streaks in her hair. "I swear, you are nothing more than a big kid. All you men are the same, you go through some horrible serious phase and then you turn into children again. Or maybe it's just my youth rubbing off on you." She certinally didn't find as much entertainment value in the two drow as Malik did.
It was starting to be as if...he had drank too much wine and it had loosened his tongue and his posture, dare he say dropped his guards a little. Though that in itself was a disturbign thought, to be so lacking of self awareness that one was allowed to act on impulse, be it the best choice or not. Again his mind briefly pondered the analogy...it was actually kind of right...seeing as a certain someone had indeed slipped him some wine. And he had no doubt that Malik had done something...no drow smirked like that at a simple object without having manipulated it in some way.
Sevilin shook his head, reorganizing his thoughts that had slipped off of more important things. Like Zahara...er...rune lessons. Right time for some distance. "How about we take a break?" Yes he wasn't one for breaks, but he felt he'd been in the room far too long with her, thinking too many things that both scared and yet in some preverse way delighted him.

"I'm sure a few might have to be. but I'll try not to trek blood into teh house and if I have any leftover gore on me I'll wash it off before I come in."
A smirk to her though, yes he was getting her hair in order.
"well..I might be big, but I wouldn't say a kid. Things are going our way for a change down here. and I'll admit I take a bit more humor in thier bickering and such than I'm sure you do. not to mention, they get under eachother's skin..and that's just funny to watch. course you'd like it more when Zahara got to sevilin..and I just plain enjoy it when they got to eachother. It's almost like watching hunting dogs fighting over a chewtoy."

She traced her nails aong a scar on the surface of the wood, refusing to look at him since looking at him, especially in light of his good mood caused thoughts to come into her mind, thoughts that she shouldn't be thinking. She shifted again, a bit uncomfortable in her chair. Every time he complimented her or looked at her that particular way, her breath was snatched from her chest and she felt a delicious feeling flush through her body. Her eyes had been roaming over the male body presented before her and he was playing havoc with her instincts. Her mind was screaming at her, can you not see the male in front of you? Take him, relieve yourself. He'd never forgive her if she did, he'd only come to hate her more and she would despise herself since it would make her a true drow, the one thing she refused to be. But as her nail traced that indentation in the wood, her eyes slowly climbed up, halting for a moment at the base of his throat and then leisurely moving up his strong jaw, nose and finally meeting his eyes with hers. "A break? You believe in those? I'm shocked." Yes she was teasing, it kept hte moment rfrom being far too uncomfortable.

"Oh how considerate of you A'mael. After all, you know how I hate to have my floors dirtied with blood and gore and other manners of distastful things. Besides, wish mercy upon whoever does transgress that rule, and I slip and fall because of it." Said with that little Piperish edge that was uniquely her own and devised from the little mannerisms of more Underdark styled etiquitte she had come to learn. "Besides, no one liked to hang all over someone icky." Another little chuckle at him though. "I do suppose that things going in our favor a bit is an occassion to relax some."Piper gave a contented sigh...yeah this was nice, in fact she kicked off her boots, having no intention of going outside anytime soon right now.
He wasn't at all blind to her roving eyes. He was just trying to keep his cool under them. After all, he knew the look and what it meant, but was hoping that ignoring it would make it go away. Much like a chore you didn't want to do and left, someone else eventually got tired of it not being done and did it themselves.
Sevilin swalled discomfort and shrugged lightly. "Even I need them sometimes...and my mood proves well. I chock it up to a good reverie." Or rather a blanked out one, how mice. Yes it did add to his mood, drugs being secondary. Though he'd have to commend Malik...his body was pretty resistant to a number of things after all the years it had been put through with potions and what not. Not too many thing affected him these days. Seems Malik had found the one of the few that still did.
"Better take the offer before I change my mind about it." Said with a stoic tone on purpose, to perhaps urge her into taking the offer and getting the hell away from him.

Malik chuckled lightly, and kept petting over her, and shook his head some.
"Of course not. and I would certainly not want to be the one to face that wrath over your nice clean floors especially if you slipped and fell. and I rather like you on me, so I don't want to get too icky."
then a grin at her boots.
"Feeling alot more relaxed I see?"
Though he could almost feel the tension in teh other room between those two. and that was good humor in and of itself. secondary effects should be in a few days. it did only really work in two 'stages' first stage of course was to spark the overall attraction. Second stage was the more intimacy wanting urges. course that usually didn't last too long. either they resisted, with some effort..or they didn't, and all teh 'exercise' burned off what remenants were left.

Hmm, choices, choices. Should she stay in this room where she was uncomfortable and wasn't getting studying done anyway just kept staring at him or should she get out with him, go somewhere where they might be able to be alone? The very thought excited her far more than anything had in a long long time and that both scared her and heightened her excitement. Control in this situation would be key but she figured she could handle it. Crossing her legs she tiled her head and regarded him for a moment, tapping those nails in their normal cadence. "What did yo have in mind? A walk? Or perhaps closing the books and indulging in conversation?" She licked her lips, "Or were you thinking of rushing out of here and leaving me far behind?" There was no way he was going toe receptive to her when she was like this. She wasn't stupid she knew the way males were treated and the anger, hatred and even sadism she'd seen him his eyes on a rather too often basis told her exactly how he felt.
