"Oh. well...can't you like...rune it on a piece of paper and plaster it to his back or something?"
A grin though at how she reacted to him. oh yes he was a silver tongued devil, wasn't it. but he did take notice of the being caught runign before..and her tugging at her sleeves..hmm..so his hands gracefully caressed up her arms and exposed her wrists, just enough to see the bruising start.
Damn that elf. which reminded him to chastize him about the horses. however, another devilish little idea came to mind. but woudl it work..that's debatable. he'd still need her to get it to work.
"what if..we managed to say..get him out of a peice of clothing. like his tunic, for example..and make a tiny stitch of the rune in the fabric. then all you woudl need is to activate it, correct?"
Now he wanted to torment him just on principal of him bruising Piper.
"You can think of some way to get him...but for the moment.." breathign lightly in her ear, "..I have to play boss and chastize my employee for spooking the horses."
So he let her go to play and think while he went to the dinign area where the other two were sitting.
"Sevilin, in the future, if you choose to translocate yourself, would you try not to land in the stables? you spooked the foals, which makes for an angry Nightmare. and I don't think you want her to disliek you more than she does..seeing as her first recourse will probably be eatting your ferret."

The all to familiar smell of blood drew his attention up from his false reading and drawing his thoughts the place he didn't want them. She was unavoidable wasn't she? How could one woman be so damn alluring!? And why was he so drawn. This had to be Malik's fault...all his damned thought. Oh well, he could take his vengence on Malik's own pet since he was trying to make a pet out of Sevilin. Accidents happened after all.
But he frowned, watching her play rune mage with her own blood. That was a line he didn't want her crossing, he cared for her as his student...and he was hoping that was it, even though his body was trying to tell him it was otherwise. And he got up, walking down the table, pushing her book close to her as he did and grabbed her dagger out of her hand, setting it on the table before taking her wrist rather gently in his hands and scribing a healing rune to it. Though he couldn't bring himself to talk to her, because then he would look at her, and probably start loosing his rational again.
A little fogged giggle. "If I wasn't just a fiddler when it came to runes, I may be able to." Though she wasn't aware really of him tugging up her sleeves amidst all of his touching. But a little nod. That I could probably work...though it'd still have to be at a time where he wouldn't notice...though I can bypass that...If I agreed to even help you in your devilty." Damn him. Damn him so much. Then damn him even more...as he up and left after tormenting her in that oh so pleasing way. Oh great, now she was indeed going to have a moment of feeling like a sexually frustrated virgin. So there she was...left alone clutching her book and half turned on. "b*****d..." She needed a moment to compose herself now.
His attention breifly came up from Zahara's wrist to look at Malik when he had been addressed. Oh great, now Malik was going to get in on the daily anguish wasn't he? A blink at him before he merely gave a nod...he wasn't too keen on pitting himself against Malik at this exact moment. "I'll try to remember that."
Though on the table where mentioned ferret was lounging he chittered in worried fashion, lifting his head and looking at Malik. Eat him?! You are a devious thing...give me socks and then let your horse eat me...yeah I hope you like things missing from your room, I know where you sleep.

A glance at the ferret.
"Letting her has nothing to do with it, Nym. I simply can't stop her. it's not exactly like I can go jumping into shadows to chase her if she decides that you're a snack."
A smirk at both of them.
"And yes, I understand you quite well. after all, I do know a few other tricks with malvolence besides simply reading minds."
not that he was wearing Malvolence at the time...and a look to Zahara and Sevilin.
"If you need anything just ask a servant. they'll serve you as they know how. do keep in mind though that we're teaching several of the younger ones how to serve, so try not to get too upset if accidents happen."
hint, hint Piper.

It took all her concentration to activate the rune, concentration that was immediately broken the second he stood up and came towards her. She watched him, all casual male grace as he slowly moved forward and then her eyes were drawn to the marred surface of her skin. His capable fingers quickly took care of the damage she had done and the warmth sent a spark of electricity all the way up her arm. She stared at the spot not even fully aware that Malik was in the room and speaking, too mesmerized to look away from the gentle touch. Perhaps that's what so attracted her to him...he was pure brawn but could be gentle as well. Moments before she'd bet it all on roulette and gotten her hand stabbed for her trouble, but once again it seemed he was healing her and using his gentleness to override all. Inwardly she sighed, she really never would figure him out. Though her attention snapped when she finally clued into what Malik was blabbering on about. "You spooked the horses? How could you do that? You idiot!" Jerking her hand away as though she'd been burned, "Those Zephmares have fangs and Nightmare's hooves will massacre you!" Wait...that wasn't what she meant to say, she wasn't worried about his well being, she was worried about the horses. They didn't need to be spooked. She didn't care what happened t him, Nightmare could chew him up and spit him back out for all she cared. But then you'd lose your wonderful eye candy...her mind taunted her. "Shut up...." she mumbled under her breath before latching onto Malik's diversionary tactics like a commander who knew surrender was near. "Damn slaves are incompetent anyway..."

He gave a distasteful chitter, standing and stretching a moment before slinking down the table, kept low to it, making his way to Sevilin where when in reach he leapt to the drow's shoulder, seeing some form of protection. After all, Sevilin wouldn't let him get eaten or stomped on. It was only one lousy horse shoe and she was still throwing a fit! That was women for you.
His attention was roughly yanked back to Zahara as she had yanked her hand away like he had been trying to hack it off at the wrist. Well what was that for? Not like he was hurting her, but to it all he only gave a frown, turning slightly to be somewhat facing Malik.
Now here was a change of pace. Not only was he mildly chastised him for the horses, but now he was playing nice with the other drow it seemed. They both knew Malik's staff was up to use as they pleased but here he was warning them. You'd think he'd enjoy to see mishaps happen. "I'll keep that in mind as well."
But for the time being, his look returned to Zahara, staring at her a moment almost fondly so. Dare he think that was concern? No...just another one of her tricks to try and get his guard down, get him when he let himself be vulnerable. "Don't accuse me as if I meant it."
She was only half listening to the conversation in the room over, after all she was still trying to get her senses back. Retaliantion was in order...get her worked up like that then casually walk away. Ha, compliance was not so for that kind of action. Retaliation indeed. Piper heard him hinting, but one look at the kitchen staff got quite the upset. A lot of them were younger...when did that shift occur? And she knew they would spill something on one of the drow if Malik told them too, even if they weren't collared. Which was both good and bad. Though there was Keely...hmm...how far away was breakfast...she didn't really care because she wasn't hungry much at the moment. So she only cleared her throat and came to stand in the doorway, giving Malik the 'oh you have no idea what hell you just caused yourself' look. Though he probably did by this point.

She was getting overwhelmed by all of this. Not liking the fact that she had no use of her legs was only the icing on the cake. Fidgeting for a moment, she glanced at him again and nibbled on her lip at the look he gave her. Why did he keep doing that? Going back and forth between the two? One minute they were messing with each other and the next they were at each other's throats. It didn't make any sense to her. She had to get out of this chair, she had to get away from him, he muddled her, he confused her, he made her want to scream. and the whole time she wondered what it would be like to have his whole body pressing down on top of hers, to feel him beneath her, moving between her thighs...no, no no! "Sevilin, nature is calling. And in order for me to answer that call, you have to undo the rune you so kindly placed on me. So if you don't mind, you have exactly one minute to do so!" her bewilderment and confusion made her belligerent and short with him. Piper! She could talk to Piper about this...hadn't Piper been her confidant for everything else?

He more or less rolled his yes and gave a slight sigh before a swipe of his hand in the air was all it took to kill off the rune that held her in place. Well...at least she had the grace to politely state if and not scream at him for being a b*****d or anything. Well, she kind of screamed at him, but not horribly so. "Try not to take too long." For he was not looking forward to another extended stufy period.
She was havoc on his nerves and his senses all at once and it was just too much to handle. It was hard enough to hold his control and keep from doing things that would no doubt get him rather roughed up and being quite regretful of it all when it was all said and done. He wasn't going to let it happen, damn it.

Resentment once again brought her down. It must be nice to just be able to wipe your hand across the air and be able to erase runes on the other side of the room! She could barely rune even with that substance to help her, she'd never run into difficulty with magic before and this really didn't count as difficulty now since she was moving along at a fine pace. Problem was, rune magery took years upon years upon years to master and she just didn't want to wait that long. She wanted to be able to rune now! She felt the rune's effects fade and abruptly stood up and quickly slipped past Sevilin, refusing to look at Malik, merely grabbed Piper's sleeve, remember what happened last time she'd grabbed her arm and with her eyes beckoned her to follow. She led her to a small hallway in the back area of the house that did indeed lead to the room she'd claimed use of. Keeping her voice at a low whisper she hissed, "Piper, I can't keep doing this. This has got to stop. I don't want to want him!"

He knew that look. and it got a grin...yes he'd be paying for it later. but still, a glance at Zahara as she went to the restroom, and a chuckle lightly and a grin at Sevilin.
"Got your hands quite full today, I see."
then a lingering look back at piper. that bedroomy, seductive, make her tingle all over because he knew he could. then a smirk.
"I'll be downstairs if you want me. I have to keep in shape and what better way to teach gladiators then to beat the snot out of them."

Look at him, so smug, knowing how his looks could affect her. Turn her on and walk away, annouce that he was going to go train downstairs...how dare he. Pay for it later indeed Her mini glare at Malik was only able to hold so long before she was pulled, then only asked with eyes to follow after Zahara, which she indeed did, wondering what her friend wanted. Though a blink when Zahara had her alone and merely blurted out what was on her mind. "This is about Sevilin isn't it?" Damn it, seemed Zahara was akin to more of Malik's idea. After all...if she needed him that badly...and he wouldn't give in and Piper could make that happen...no, no. Can't betray her. Thus she cleared her throat and watched the dark skinned elf a moment. "Well...you have two options don't you? Find another drow, or get Sevilin to give in." She tapped her fingers on her book, which she was still holding. "It's not hard to get him to...you know..." Oh she couldn't believe she was proposing Malik's plan.
Sevilin merely shook his head at the antics of women, but his attetion filtered back to Malik easily enough, even if he was disgusted with the looks he gave the surface trash...how could he even bed that thing? Bring himself to touch such a creature, and worse yet let her touch him as well.
Though a slight smirk to Malik. "Quite the good training method you have there...at least it works with those that are more compliant to your insistance." A slight poke at Zahara, not caring if she was in the room or not at the moment. Though he crossed his arms lightly. "My hands are always full when it comes to her." Or were you just wishing they were Sevilin? Hell...where did that come from.

"Of course it's about Sevilin! It's always about him!" But then she went quiet. The first idea was pure ludicrous. In fact, now that she thought about it, she hadn't desired another male this time. Usually she was ready to jump anything that moved and yes, she had thought about using a slave but knew she wouldn't be able to go through with it. And especially the last few days, Sevilin had been in her thoughts nonstop. "What do you mean Piper? How can I get him to give in? He can't stand me...he'd never sleep with me, you know how he feels about women and drow women especially."

"Well...there are a number of ways. Potions and what not...I know a rune or two that would...give him the push he needed to you know...relax and stop being so damn paranoid about everything." Idly she tugged at her shirt sleeves to keep her wrists from showing off Sevilin's markings. Now was not the time at all to upset Zahara with that. And damn Malik, but she had been thinking on that idea...only because it would get her point across to Zahara if it worked right. Thus she had been coming up with ways to get past Sevilin's own rune guards. "Are you sure it has to be him I mean, sure you're infatuated with him but...it can't be anybody else?" Why Sevilin! Why him of all the drow in the Underdark! This was all Malik's fault...no passion rune for that Tier'dal, or probably period. He always managed to get what he wanted from her didn't he?

Malik was downstairs of course, just in loose fitting pants an dthe bloodred bracers, weilding Malvolence and in general fighting his gladiators. it honed thier skills, and some of the older ones, especially those that survived thier use in previous campaigns, were getting rather good. when it was just blade to blade, they coudl hold thier own and even give a bit of challenge. Bring in Malik's magics and the power inherint to Malvolence and that balance shifted dramatically, of course. but it was good for a workout.
And being that he was using that blade, it let it's tendrils twist out, and lightly caress over teh litte spot in sevilins mind that wether he liked it or not, desired Zahara..and poke at that lust filled sexual craving in Zahara's mind. it was fun to occasionally stoke fires, wasn't it.

Zahara sighed and leaned back against the wall for a moment, clsoign her eyes, attesting to how much she actually trusted Piper. No drow ever broke eye contact with a surface elf and the fact that Zahara had not only left herself completely vulnerable to an attack from her if she so choose said quite a bit. "I dont' know why it's him," she sighed. "There's something you dont understand Piper and I wish to gods I could tell you but I can't...but because of this thing it's got to be him." If she could even go through with it. Chances were she wouldn't be able to do so and then she'd just look like a fool. But with the instincts begging for appeasement the way they were...well she was backed against the wall and wishing to Lloth Sevilin was standing in front of her holding her in place, about to lean down and kiss her. She could almost feel his lips on hers, shaping and reshaping...and when her eyes reopened they were that liquid amethyst they always became when he became a visitor in her thoughts.

Uh oh, Piper knew that look. That was the dreamy look of being lost in thoughts that were oh so pleasing and guessing by the current conversation, she guessed thoughts of Sevilin were causing that look. In fact it reminded PIper of that dreamy look she herself often got from Malik...especially after a good dose of Malik fatigue had been induced into her being. Scales were tipping in her head...what was worse...letting Malik win, or letting Zahara miss out on what thet look could really be put ther on her face. By Elvish Gods! Malik would just have to suffer for this all, she had decided. "O-okay, I suppose I could help out..." Malik had started her decision slip with his own passion's fire, and Zahara had further pulled them down to side that wanted her and Sevilin to have an interlude. Oh what a horrible elf she was being right now. She wasn't exactly happy or thrilled. "I mean, I can't promise...but I can try. Just...don't let him hurt you, okay?" Another worry in her mind, if she pushed Sevilin and his lust got he better of him, Zahara could actually end up being hurt, and she being Piper, worried about those kinds of things. That's it, as soon as Zahara let her go, Malik was going to get vented at.
