Malik came inside, rubbing his lower back abit, and saw the foals, and shook his head lightly.
"Nightmare is having a conniption fit in there becuase her foals aren't where she left them. I woudl suggest sending them back outside before she comes inside looking. and we got a pretty good idea now where the Oracle most likely is. and we can't get there, yet."
yes quite a bit upset. his voice might not show it but his eyes certainly did. boy if he went there Ton and Eca were going to get such a yelling/lecturing/accusing/bitching shoutfest.

"Thus why I decided to spend some time with them. Though she'll be unhappy enough that I've send Serino away again. He's been quite the busy little burst of wind lately." Indeed he had been, what with fetching all sorts of things for Piper here lately. Though her attention flicked to Malik as he came in, looking none too pleased at all. Well...probably calm to everyone else but she knew he wasn't happy. Could see it in his eyes as well as feel it in thier bond. He was stewing. "Taking it out on you is she?" A whistle to grab the attention of all four. "Go back to your mother." And she watched with a smile as the little tempest went about rounding up her mini herd and ushering them back outside, of course after waiting for the door to be opened, heading back to mom with happy nickers. "There, she'll calm down now. Though she'll still be angry with me, I've sent Serino off again." But a nod at his other information on Meilikki...that was vague. Which was irritating but she'd not let that show. "Isn't that always the way though."

"I just happened to be on her back when she reared. and she knows you well enough not to be angry when you send Serino out for things. I'm sure she remembers the times I used her for fast delivery service."
A slight chuckle.
"Odds are, she's being kept in that poisonus gas filled ruin that we had our little meeting with Ton and Eca in. but without those masks, or someone that has favor with this 'sky father' then we're out of luck in getting there. especially since Tanundra is having his nervous breakdown. So even if we had the masks, there's not a ride that can surive the trip there and back."

She took a moment to think. If memory served her correctly, they still had those things, seeing as Tanundra had brought them back to the fortress after that little trip. Malik had probably thrown them down in the vaults. But there was the other detouring fact...they had no ride to get there and didn't know the way anyway. "So...we're basically out of luck unless we figure something out. Maybe Onyx and Aella are having better luck than we are." She tugged at her collar a moment and gave a sigh, shaking her head lightly before looking back to Malik. "Any idea on when we might be expecting Roarke and whoever he brings with him?"

"Probably sometime tomorrow, or in the next few days. I'll wager before he comes here he'll gather anything of value that survived, as to not let it fall into an enemy's hands."
A glance at Zahara and a smug little grin. a secret grin.
"But we'll see how things play out. he may not even take up the offer at all..but I don't know of anyplace else he coudl easy get to with the portection we can offer. Any news from your father on his expected visitation time? and if he's bringing your mother?"

" No word from him, but he should be here day after tomorrow if I know Kieran Silvercrest." Though she blinked at Malik a moment on his last question. Oops, hadn't mentioned mother at all in that letter. "Um...well, I really don't know. He may or may not...depends on what happening in Andal and how she's fareing I would imagine. After all, you know she doesn't have a high tolernace for the Underdark." Crossing her arms she tapped her fingers on the arm her hand was lying on, trying to hide the cross look she wanted to give him at that little look to Zahara. "Lots of house guests once again. Break time is over, isn't it?" Pity.

"Break time for us is still going. slaves can handle houseguests well enough."
Of course, they had to. most 'houseguests' coudl very easily be thier future owners. and always better to make a good impression and get a good owner than a bad one and get a bad owner.
Okay he knew he was treading on thin ice with that look. so he shrugged lightly.
"Besides, My back is probably going to smart in the morning. So I am not going to want to be running aroudn trying to handle houseguests if I don't feel a real need to."

"Oh good then, that means you won't be doing any business then, now will you?" He thought he was slick...not so much so. Besides, she had her own problems to deal with right now, more pointedly her sudden change in attitude to most Underdark things. To have to fuss over Malik would only add on the stress...she needed to invest in stress relief techniques these days. "Being lazy, I like. On a more pleasant note, I think I got rid of all of Sevilin's little spy runes. Not an easy task at all mind you." And a subconcious scratch at the bandages on her arms from guilt over what she had done to both drow earlier. She dreaded tomorrow.

"No, I won't be doing any buisness. I'm not a total monster. I won't be selling to the fleshmarkets while your father is here and then having to listen to raziel question me over every detail in front of roarke and the children or young adults he might bring with them to get even more people to look at me like Zahara does but for different reasons."
A slight smirk.
"So yes, we get lazy day time tomorrow."

She pointed at him. "Now remember this moment, where it was you who said the word monster, not I. So don't expect to sling it back in my face at some point. I've never equated the word to you in fact." And she blinked at that...did she just jump him in defenseive to herself fashion? Let alone say that he would do such a thing. Right...Underdark tendency flare up...which in realization made her cheeks tinge the slightest pink before she got her wits about her once more. Though it was funny to think that Malik always told her to not hide away what she was where he himself was doing it at the moment. But that was Malik, he liked to keep high opinions to ones that had them of him. His business was nothing more than a means to support himself really. "Alright then, I'm holding you to that Malik D'Vinn." And she gave him that look that said 'just as well, seeing as they could end up with two irate drow on thier hands.'

"Yes, I know. and it's not you, or Roarke that concerns me in that respect. it's the youths. the last thing I need is to be percived as some cruel monster that other's need to be rescued from. I don't want mage students and wolfkin pups trying to free slaves or beat up breakers."
lord..that woudl be a scary thing. some wiseass mage in training trying to 'free' his slaves from a breaker. he didn't want a critically injured breaker and a dead student on his hands. too much trouble. and trying to conduct buisness in that enviroment just wasn't good.
"You can hold me to it. and I'm sure you will."
Though he reguarded her look with a bit of amusement. it was all fun in games for him. he coudl handle Sevilin.

"Well then, you better mind your manners Lord D'Vinn. Keep that temper of yours under control." Because the easy going peace and quiet wan't going to last with more people in the house. And they both knew that Malik could have quite the lack of patience and when he lacked patience his temper was short. That's why Piper was there to soothe his temper. "Let's all just behave then shall we? You be nice with good PR skills, I'll try not to stress and worry and Zahara and Sevilin can try to be pleasant."

"I'll be on my best behavior. and what are these 'PR skills' you keep mentioning?"
A slight chuckle and stretching his back, before starting on the path upstairs.
"I think it is time we all called it an evening..we are most likely going to have a busy, lively day tomorrow. and could use the rest. and I coudl certainly use a nice backrub myself. or an icepack. whichever is more easily available."

"Your lack of personal relations savvy. It would be cute if it didn't make things become violent and unbearable." Her own chukle and a shake of her head, watching him a moment. "Sounds like a good idea to me, after all we're going to need the tolerance." Then another chuckle. "Well perhaps I can aid you in your whiny pain troubles, after all...I don't expect anyone else to lay a hand on you knowing I can scratch them to hell and back." Lightly her attention returned to Zahara. "Well then, you should probably be heading off as well, you get up early in the mornings anyway. I'll see you in the morning Zahara." Standing up she gave her friend a wave and started up the stairs after Malik, but her conscience getting the better of her and she stopped midway, holding to the railing and looking to Zahara again. "Hey Zahara...don't let Sevilin..." ...what exactly did she want to say? Betray plans made? "...don't let him be an a**. We'll have enough to deal with tomorrow." Thusly she turned and headed up the rest of the stairs to her room.

Zahara should be annoyed, after all Malik was talking about her like she wasn't even there, but then that was entirely too normal for words with that a**. She did hold in a snort when he mentioned not wanting others to look at him the way she did, she knew for a fact he held his reputation as an a** in high esteem. It was rather surprising to find that he might actually have some sort of conscious rolling around in that blue body of his. Violet eyes drifted up the stairs and her brows knit for a moment, then she laughed. "I won't let Sevilin do anything I don't approve of." Of course she was joking since after all, it wasn't likely she could actually stop Sevilin seeing as he was three of her put together but that was another thought altogether. She knew it was time to reverie so up the stairs she headed, curling up under her sheets, with clothes on this time and closing her eyes.
The next morning 'dawned' clear and cold, or about as clear as the Underdark could get and Zahara was not a happy camper. She felt like her body was on fire, so sensitive even the feel of her own clothes sliding against her skin was almost too much to bear. After a mostly unbearable night in which she'd kicked her covers off, stripped down and lay spread eagle to keep her skin from touching, she was not happy. It was like her instincts had suddenly tripled which was not an unheard of thing, especially in the last wave. Her mind had tortured her with images the entire night and she was just glad that the object of her obsession was safely ensconced in his own home and she had no idea where it was. This was the point where she was dangerous and she damn well knew it. Lessons were going to be hell this morning but the last thing she needed was him coming in and yanking her out of bed, that would push her over the edge. so she got up and dressed in the least amount of cloth she could possibly find without looking Llothian and went downstairs, taking a seat at the table and managing, somehow, (though Lloth knew how) to keep an indifferent expression on her face.
