The drow looked at Malik, and then at the shades. Something looked familiar about them, but then again, all humans look the same after they die. "Distance times speed, plus extra..."

Zahara had nothing to say. There was a lot she could have said, quite a bit she wanted to laugh about. Arrogant b*****d,thinking he could bring down Lloth. She'd pay to see him try and then laugh maniacally when Lloth squashed him in her web like the spider she was. She hated the b***h and even she knew that it was nearly impossible to be one step ahead of the goddess. She was just too cunning and evil to let herself be brought down. Ruthlessness was not the problem either, Lloth just played the game by different rules that were forever changing. There was no cruel or unusual with her, she did what she wanted to do and to hell with the laws and limitations that other gods and goddesses lived by. Her very creed was cruelty and she took divine pleasure in coming up with new ways of making her own people suffer. Look at the women, whom Lloth had elevated to such a high status. Were they truly free? No. Each one paid her pound of flesh to the goddess daily, each one lived under the b***h's commands and each one, even her 'favorites' were subject to displeasure at any time. She thrived on chaos, enjoyed turning people against each other and destroying anything good that might come. So to think that the drow could be more cunning, more evil, more ruthless than the Queen herself was a laughable concept that she wasn't even going to begin to touch. Instead she stood there and marveled at the stupidity of some.

Malik only glared back at Ton..and then looked at Eca.
"How long? how long for what? how long do we think it'll take? How long has Dimitri had her? what length of time are you looking for. and as for the blade..we searched that place top to bottom after the body was destroyed. we didn't find a phylactary to get rid of or we woudl have."
Oh if he coudl have hit Ton for that he would have hit him. blame him for something that wasn't in his power to prevent.
"Speak plainly. I don't need to be translating and deciphering riddles. I want Dimitri, and I want his head mounted on my wall, and to use the rest of him to make furniture."

They glared right back.
"We do not blame you, we have stated a fact. The blade did it's job. Just becuase you didn't find one did not mean it wasn't there."
"You may want Dimitri, but we need verification that helping you is in our best interest."
Eca to each of the people in turn. "How long has she been captured?" She looked as if she already knew the answer.

"I don't know, she was gone before I arrived here." A lie. "But after her secret meeting with the Princeling." Jarlaxle pointed at Zahara in a very haphazzard way.

She rolled her eyes and set her hands to her hips. "Being pissed isn't goign to get any of us anywhere, we all know that right? So let's just cut it out and keep our minds where they need to be." A look to Ton and Eca, see they didn't trust them now and that was probably just as bad as anything else to happen. "Tarathiel would know that one, honestly. He accused us of kidnapping her ourselves."

"So, you do know the exact date that she went missing." Replied the devilish drow. "What a nice person he is." Wasn't I there?

"I would say several weeks at least. Tarathiel came first to me with his blame, army game to get a dual. Tanundra has been maddened for sometime. which implies a length. But I have no way of directly knowing, as the Oracle was not in my care during the tiem before her capture. Kimmuriel had her locked up in his own personal fortress before then."
Though he crossed his arms lightly.
"Of course it is. Dimitri has proclaimed often enough he wants to destroy everything, and remake this place in his own image. so your family lines are at stake. the places you loved before your death, those who seeek to emulate you. everything you ever held dear he wants to destroy. That should be reason enough. unless you'd prefer the rest of the world to end up exactly like where we are standing."

Eca shook her head. "We're dead. There is very little we care about besides the rest that we earned during life. That tends to happen to most people when they die."
"Did.."
"No dear, he's still alive."
Eca continued. "One more question. For all of you, for any that you know. Is Meilikki important to you? Is she a freind?"

Zahara's eyes flew to the drow the moment the lie spewed from his lips. Secret meeting with the princeling? Kimmuriel? When did she have a secret meeting wiht that drow? He'd come upon her in the Underdark sure but that hadn't been planned...but hten at the same time meetings were never by chance. Her eyes narrowed and she practically growled, he would be dealt with later, she promised herself. She hadn't fought in a long time, at least not one of her own. A glance back at Ton and Eca, but she chose to say nothing seeing as she didn' tknow Meilikki well but didn't want the Oracle to not be helped because of something negative she had said.

Piper looked particularly appalled by the question. "You honesly want to ask that question? I'll be first to say that I do care for Meilikki. And not just because she gave me the means to save Malik's life but because she is also my friend. I may not see her much," That was Tarathiel's fault anyway, "and I may be a little distant and slow in delivering of my promises and debts to her," That was Meilikki's fault, she kept telling her to set the matter aside for later, "but I assure you, that I very well owe her my own life. If I didn't care about her, I could tell you right now that I wouldn't be here, nor would I worry myself to points that involve various forms of self harm." Okay so no one knew about those, but hey it was important.
Kieran was merely standing back next to Zahara. Not that he had much to say on the issue of Meilikki, but he could offer one tidbit. "If I may say...she is important to me, for being important to my daughter. After all, without her help she wouldn't be happy." Simple enough for him and as simply yet promient as all of Kieran's sayings.

Malik grumbled slightly. he really hated questions like that.
"I care little for the Oracle myself. I know little to nothign about her. But I owe her my life, wether I like to think of that or not, and Piper..and I will talk to you later about this self inflicted injuries thing..cares about her. and if Piper finds her as a friend, then I will get her back for no other reason than that. Friends we have are to few to let them slip idly by. But if you don't want to help, I coudl care less. I'll find her, and I'll get her out with or without your help, and I don't care how many souless have to be cut down, and I don't care how many peices I have to take off Dimtri."
A slight growl at both Firsts.
"Death doesn't mean you care only about your 'rest'. There are spirits in Norrath that don't care about rest. they do what they feel is the right thing to do. and so should you. So help or not, Dimitri is going to die."

The listened and watched the reactions to the question. He smirked, "The Oracle is more useful to me alive than dead."
"Emotions are irrelevent to the matter."

"You all have reasons for my descendant to be alive and well. And yet you wait so long to help her? Several weeks you say she's been gone, and yet only now do you come here asking for help. How long have you been searching? have you even bothered to try." She pointed to the flying dragon. "Or is it only because he got in your way?"
"I am dead. I know what I care about. I am but a soul. A soul doesn't even know the difference between right and wrong. That is the part played by the mind."
She faded from sight then, leaving Ton. He did not look pelase either. "Dig up our graves, take a piace of what is left of our bodies with you. That will allow you to travel on ground blessed by the Sky Father." He looked reluctant to tell them this, and he too, left them.

See! See she knew it would come back and bite her in the a**. Malik's little, 'let Tarathiel deal with it right now' thing was coming back to haunt her! Her fists clenched beside her as she clenched her jaw as well to keep the tirade that was brewing in. Giving a slight growl she turned on her heel, starting back the way they came, though her footing was slightly off. "Hurry up and dig things up..."
Kieran shook his head. She was upset again...and he could make a few guesses as to why. Though he let her go off, he kept his eyes trained to her.
