He raised an eyebrow at her when she spun on him as if to say 'what?'. Hey he wanted her angry...but in a calm manner. Calm anger often brought realization and others good things. It was the uncontrolled instinctual anger that got you in trouble. As seen today when he figuratively leapt before he looked.
But he merely leaned back on his shoulder on the stable wall, crossing his arms and focusing on the tack on the wall to give his eyes something to focus in on to help his eyes. They still stung like no tomorrow, were watering a bit. But he would only raise his hand every now and then to brush blood away when it slid too close to his eyes. "Going to let her get away with it?" Okay one more prod.
Keely stood awkwardly between them a moment...okay...she was lost to this situation, but she did know that she didn't want to make either of them mad. Though it figured they wanted to chill where she needed to do chores. OKay, course of action. Ignore them for the moment and go about her chores, putting down fresh bedding and what not, food for Nightmare and the foals. Treats, maintaining tack and what not. Of course every now and then she would stop to chastise a foal or to check on the little fawn in passing. Yeah this was awkward.

Zahara smiled at the little fawn who was watching her and easily slipped a piece of sugar over to her. At Sevilin's dig though she glanced over at him, pausing a moment to wipe her own watering eyes and stood up, walking much more sure footed now over to him, about as close as he had been that day in the hallway. She raised her hand, a determined look in her eyes, the kind of look most took to mean that she was going to slap him. But she merely laid her fingers along his eye, healing the cuts that Raziel had placed there. "Blood's only going to irritate your eyes further." said rather softly before shrugging. "What I do or choose to not do with her is my business and mine alone. You didn't want me in on yours and you wouldn't let me take care of Malik, so give me the same courtesy."

Fawn nearly pounced on the sugar when it was offered. Nibbling it slowly like she had the carrot. She finished it and looked up Seviling expectantly. What? Every new person she met here had a treat for her. You do to, right?

Cedric watched the scene for a moment, and allowed his intuition to take hold of his normally logical mind. Or at least, he thought that he was allowing his intuition to function. "Miss Oracle, who are you waiting for?"

"You do not have that duty anymore. part of your rather unjust punishment was being stripped of your rank."
But he woudl let her do as he wanted.
"Malik is downstairs."
Malik was slightly amused, and gave Piper a little pet, and kept his eye on the only entry from teh outdoors that Zahara and Sevilin woudl have the sight to find and get to.
"Sometimes I wonder if those two are worth the trouble. but...Lets see if the counter to the common anti-pregancy drug I put in her drink works. I woudl find that highly amusing. But if not...well...I'll deal with it."

She starred into her tea for a while, thinking about that question herself. "For someone who has not heard me plea." Which could mean more than one thing.
"Stripped of my rank. Not my duty."

He had tensed a moment inwardly, readying his own reactions as she had raised her hand....he's be damned if he was going to let her slap him. Though as he went to grab her wrist, seemed she had something other than hitting him on her mind. Which was confusing for him because why should she care...she should want to giggle at his pain.
"Well...nice to know that finally got through you're head." An 'I told you to stay out and you didn't and got hurt' wasn't thrown at her though. Why? Because he didn't want to admit that a light had brought him down, that was why. He'd rather not talk about it. And it seemed he didn't have to as the fawn thing caught is attention as it was staring at him.
He stared right back down at it. Why was it looking expectant of it. Eyes never leaving it he asked his question. "What is this and why is it looking at me like that?" He swore...if that thing went after him he was turning it into jerky.
Kieran was the slightest bit uncomfortable. Both from pain and from Raziel beign opposite of where he usually was. The familiar preferred his right shoulder over other places and Kieran's second nature motions had taken to tailoring to that. Now he was tenative to taking care of where he friend was and what not. But his hand reached back non the less and gave a pet at his feathers with a chuckle. Raziel had after all been witness to such behavior from Kieran. He even knew the name story...after all, how many princesses get named something like 'Piper'.
She rolled her eyes slightly. "You know, I'm going to start calling it you obsessing over them." A look to Kieran...she decided to turn it into a joke. "He watches them constantly, keeps tabs on them, tries to push them together, trying to get Zahara pregnant. Even before me no less. Don't you say that qualifies as obsession?"
"More or less."
They could care less about Sevilin, though winged ones were a bit more cautious. Besides, if anything mom would take care of it right? Thus they were playing thier little games, or nudging at Zahara and Keely,or the fawn looking for attention from any of them. They liked the elf and human, but their little friend was newly fascinating.

((Ceedric is Smarter than I am.))
Cedric listened to the Oracle's response, and could see the two sides of her phrase. A plea can be either an earnest request, or an excuse. A plea could also refer to numerous legal actions.
He thought about that for a moment, when Aella's retort to Onyx's statement came across his track of thought. He looekd at Aella, and then at Onyx. His mind worked that problem for a moment, but he passed it off as a personal fued. He turned his attention back to Meilikki and her out right request for a specific person.
Cedric was at a loss, Meilikki was being anti-social and somewhat childish. But taht was probably in conjunction with her recent torment. Even elves can be streched thin under deress.
"You do not want help."

She wasn't about to say anything to that, merely quirk an eyebrow. she could have pointed out that Kieran and Sevilin didn't like each other, it was different. She and Piper were friends and Piper's betrayal hurt. She actually had the insane urge to sit down and cry over it. His growling and blustering drew her attention and she glanced back at the fawn then chuckled. Grabbing Seviln's hand she pulled him over to her with her and then slapped a piece of sugar in it. "Go on, give it to her. That's what she wants." A fond look to the little deer before she reached over and petted through her hair. "She's one of the lich's examples of cruelty." Her voice had a hard edge to it that she got whenever she was angry even though moments ago she'd gone from sadness to almost cheerfulness. Riding the emotional rollercoaster again eh Zahara?

She looked sheepish as she continued to stare into her tea. "I do not know if I want help." Her voice low and airy. She took a quick breath to hold back tears, which only served to hurt her ribs that were still very sore.
"How very selfish of me." She was fairly certain that at this point, Aella was obsorbed in her conversation with Onyx, and wasn't listening. "To wish for death and only complain when I am finally saved."
The fawn only smiled at Sevilin. She could understand most of what he said, but it held little meaning for her. She giggled when the horses nudged at her. She saw the sugar cube make it's way to the male dro's hand, and she stretched her neck out a little bit, sniffing.
Raziel accepted the pet as he always did, but decided to crawl down and cling to Kieran's front. A little more out of the way here. but not too out ofthe way should he be needed. That, and Raziel wasn't sure if it was a good diea to rest on his master's head until he was fully healed.

"It is not an obsession. and I woudl say I was trying to get you pregnant first. hence your father's 'rabbit' nickname. she's just first for trying to invoke a pregancy through drugs. and thier drow. you have to keep an eye on them."
there, all justified and rolled out.
Onyx only shrugged lightly. he don't know of a person that has never heard her plea, if not for those in her presence. of course, he was taking plea to mean begging, or pleading for something. probably she did a lot of that during her captivity, if her injuries had any inkling of the kinds of things she was subject to.
"Why would you not want help? in your present condition you couldn't surivie on your own. even with Tanundra you need more care than he coudl give, medically.."
A bit of confusion before listening and registering his own word and hers.
"You know no one is going to give up on you and let you go."

"Were you betrayed?" Cedric asked rather bluntly. Onyx seemed to be friendly enough for the room, so no more was needed tto be said. He rand a hand through his hair, feeling that the braid ws about to become undone. He noted that his katana had fallen out of reach from his right shoulder, and gently pulled the hilt back up where it could be grabed, only to realise that it blocked his hand from his claymore. He would have to repack his weapons before he went fighting.

Aella of course, was not spared this conversation as soon as Onyx turned towards it. SHe had nothing to say that would make Meilikki feel any better, and she would probably makes things worse.
One hand stayed curled around the tea, the other wrapped around her stomach. "After waiting so long, it certainly felt as if I were forgotten. Or worse." She raised her head head up, sightless eyes still staring.
"When praying for help proved itself to be fruitless..."

His attention went to her again as he was approached, his hand grabbed and a suger cube put in it. "She doens't look all that cruel to me." Yeah that went over his head didn't it? But then again Sevilin lacked the ability to see the cruelty beyond his own and what was done to his person and what was his. A look at the fawn, sugar cube sitting in his hand. He wasn't offering it, yet wasn't holding it back from her either. Wait...was this food to this thing? If it took off a finger, oh...so much jerky.
He paused a moment, watching Raziel till the familiar settled and then turned his attention back to the other two in his prescense. "It at least teeters on the brink." There, not agreeing with Malik, not agreeing with Piper. Middle ground was good. A chuckle. "He has a point, Rabbits indeed."Weren't nicknames great? Though first pregnancy through drugs huh? So was that Malik's next determined step to take with his daughter. You just heard the most interesting things. "Head and shoulders." Caught her again.
Piper shook her head lightly. "Like troublesome children at times." That was all she had to say on the subject of those two. She was more concerened with what they were planning. Sure she was paranoid of them both now, but Malik and Kieran were both right there and hey she was sitting on Malik. A little look to him. "Though we won't be trying anytime soon now will we?" More rhetoical than anything. Not with being banged up and what not. She messed with his hair a moment as she forced her posture to relax again at Kieran's reminders. "Exactly...how angry was she?"

Cedric listened to the Oracle, and noticed how Aella was being overly quiet. Aella had wanted to rush here as soon as she could, and was frustraited with how the Captain forced here to collect some precios stones from rubble. "What are the significance of those stones?" The elf asked bluntly, "Why was it important to find one of them inperticular, one which gave you such a hard time at that?"
