Tarathiel chuckled, "I know. That is how I knew you were not being yourself." He stuck his tongue out at her. "Give that Piper woman a hug. She looks pretty soft." Given the options, "Your next best bet for those here is probably Iris, or that older high elf. Both equally soft, but he's probably a tade muscular, being a sword guy and all." The elf rocked back and forth gently. "Sword elf would probably most resemble myself." He let her enjoy herself for a moment, she was a useful tool that deserved her own repreive. That, and she smelt nice. He sighed.
"So, you'll probably hear about my mingling with Sevilin and Zahara. She's pretty pissed at me for meddling." He chuckled, "But, you saw that coming. You subltly warned me against it, even though I didn't ask you for any hints. Then agian, my memory is a tade less fuzzy than you non-drow." HIs body lost a great deal of heat, "Time's up. Later." He vanished, which caused Meilikki to fall onto hte bed.

She actually chuckled softly, though she stopped just as quickly. It hurt to do that. "I'll keep that in mind." She closed her eyes as he rocked her, let herself completly relax for a moment. "Oh yes, I know alll about that. Those two are out of sorts more so than they were before."
Then he left, and she was alone on the bed. "Bye." She said to empty air. Then she called on Tanundra.
You finally gave in. But you didn't cry.
"I'll save that part for Piper. Crying is a girl thing. Help me to stand, will you Tanundra? I want to get out of this bed."

Tanundra practically carried the woman out the door and down the hall. She could hardly walk, but refused to let Tan carry her fully. "The dining room is a good place. Let's go there." And take her there he did.

Malik only gave one of those soft smiles. wehter he personally liked Kimmuriel or not, he knew he was present, he knew whom he was around. and that only ment good things.
the cleric however, was currently fighting with piper. well not really fighting, mostly just trying to shange her bandaging without actually touching skin, and everytime he did she was yelling or slapping at him.
"Piper dear..let him at least get those off."
Before he noted Tanundra and the Oracle, getting himself up and helping Tanundra with her to the dining room.
"Nice to see you out of bed."
Onyx tilted his head lightly.
"What would I expect from you in the first place? I hardly know you, or what you can do. I have nothing to expect nor anything to base a request of you on. I enjoy the Hunt, and that is plenty of fun for me."
An itch and a grumble, another feather.
"You wouldn't happen to like feathers, would you?"

"You're just as guilty as he is father." Both of them were little info sponges, though Kieran did get a long long stare for a moment. Though it was fleeting what with being pissy with a cleric who was so jumpy this was just getting pointless. "No, I think I'm fine." Keeping that cleric at arm's length. But her attention turned to Meilikki and Taunundra...and Malik being chivalrous. How charming. Well hot damn, excuse to get away. A stern look at said cleric. "Look...we both know where this is going, you can stop now." Thus moving from said cleric and getting up, walking into the dinning room as well because hey, if she was out of bed that was a good thing. But standing off to the side some, her collar hanging on her arm. A moment to fix her posture and force it relaxed. "Quite the relief indeed Meilikki."
Kieran, being Kieran was glad for the opportunity as well. Meant that the lie they had used was good for another time on something, and Piper's attention was off of him. After all, he didn't want to get grilled on what was really wrong, the secret was fine between him and Raziel. "Well well...seems all accounted for or on the mend then." The three bandgaged elves included. A look to Piper. "Head and shoulders."

"Thank you Malik." She was helped to a seat, and well...sat. "I'm not out of the thick yet. Don't think I'll be all smiles and hearty chit chat just because I'm out of my room." A little surly perhaps, but better than she was she supposed.
Raziel just smield and stayed out of the way.

She shook her head. "I don't expect you to be Meilikki." Hey, Piper could empathize. After all, she knew a thing or two about it. You didn't just bounce back like nothing was wrong...took quite the amount of time. "But you know if you need anything..." A nod and she walked over to Malik. "You leave her alone, I don't want you to try and go on an information dig." That would in fact me her one and only warning to him and he would get not a single chance on the matter. That said she backed out of the dinning room...okay she'd admit...it was hard to watch Meilikki like that, reminded her of her own similar troubles. A plop down in a chair in the sitting room near the fireplace.
He watched his daughter more or less give reassurance as well as warnings, offer support and then pretty much excused herself to another spot. Kieran knew why too, but he didn't say anything on it. Some things were better left alone. For the moment anyway. Oh complicated matters. He shifted his arm uncomfortably. "Never dull."

A slight smirk.
"The last person that went through anything like you did that saw me tried to turn me into strips or jerky. and Piper had her recovery as well."
A small grin and a pat on her shoulder.
"At least you got the courage to get up and move around. anything you'd like to eat?"
Though he gave Kieran that look. the 'I know something more is going on then you let on' look. after all, Malik was one to know schedules, and times. it didn't take that long to get a journal, and that Catawa woman, besides tearing up perfectly good furniture, wasn't the talkative type. So he hadn't been chatting with her from what he knew.
"And I wouldn't information dig on her..give me some credit for manners."
Before back to Kieran.
"Never is around here, is it."

To Malik's look he only gave a raise of an eyebrow that said 'what', in the utmost innocent and oblivious tone he could muster and still be nonchalant. A look over to where Piper walked off, but he left her alone about it all the same. Though Kieran wasn't stupid enough to think that Malik wasn't suspicious.
Malik was naturally so and he had a keen eye, preferring to apparently watch out for what he was close to. Though he also knew that Malik would probably only confront him in private on it...but Kieran wasn't a very private creatre now was he?Though a chuckle. "I believe your head strong attitude just makes her want to cut you off before you reach that point or even consider it." Then another smile. "Yes, I'm beginning to see that."

"Oh good, you're alone." the voice came from the opposite corner of the room and then a feral smile joined it. "You and I have some unfinished business Piper D'Vinn. And I'm looking forward, no relishing concluding that business as soon as possible." Zahara's voice was still full of irritation from her stressful day and she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, watching her. She'd left her room a half hour before and taken up space in the sitting room, planning her next move. She hadn't been paying attention so she had no idea exactly what had gone on in the dining room, merely heard words. Her eyes went to the bandages at her throat and she jerked her head, "But first, we must take care of your wounds."

She jumped lightly, startled to say the least. Drow, they had the ability to just pop right on up didn't they. But she merely turned somehwere in her chair, looking to where her ears told her, only to set sights on Zahara. Why did she not like the sound of that statment that was just made. Yeah it just seemed bad. For a moment her hands fiddled with the collar they held. "Business..." Yeah...but then it seemed Zahara changed subjects to which Piper touched her throat at the mention. First she had to fend off a cleric and now Zahara wanted a shot at her. "Might as well before Malik starts harping on me..."

The drow's face darkened at the name of Piper's beloved and she hesitated for a moment, glaring before walking over to Piper. She was already in a chair which made life so much easier. "Yes, business, but we'll get to that. First..." and she reached and began to gently unwrap the bindings from her neck. Revealing her skin showed there wasn't much change in the burned, puckered skin and she gently smoothed a finger over it, noting that the last layer of gel hadn't fully been absorbed into her skin. She settled herself on the arm of the chair and pulled that jar back out, easily recoating the wound with a generous amount of the cool gel. "I apologize if I hurt you. Hurting you while healing you is not my intention at all.." she let the sentence dangle to make her wonder what her other intentions might be and withdrew another length of gauze and carefully recovered the burned, bruised and chastised skin. "There." Slipping off the arm of the chair, she balled up the dirty gauze, slightly bloodstained and set it on a side table then turned violet eyes on Piper. "You betrayed me."

Piper had only lifted her head and then she forced her shoulders to stay down, letting Zahara do as she needed to do, although she wasn't spared Piper's occassional flinches from a spark of pain. Though her eyes shifted to watch the woman at that dangling statement. Dangling statements were dangerous, more so coming from drow. But as Zahara backed off, Piper let her posture take it's own defensive course, head dropping and shoulders rising, her hands gripping on the collar resting in her lap. And then it happened. "I...I didn't mean to. I swear...I meant nothing ill of it..."

Not a single hint of emotion was visible on Zahara's face. Her posture never stiffened, she remained relaxes but her voice was cold. "Since when is betrayal an act of generosity or companionship?" One hand slowly ran through the short locks that comprised her hair and she leaned back. "Do tell me Piper, why would you do something so deceitful. You're claim is surface, yet deceit and trickery are not the way of those who sit under the ball of fire. Have you given up all your surface ways then? Perhaps we should dye your skin and remove the streaks from your hair."

She sat there, mouth slightly agape at the words that passed through her friend's lips. Certinaly ones that cut quick and deep like a hot knife through soft butter. Zahara was...so cold, her voice void of any warmth to do. Piper licked her lips nervously as she searched for words that would justify. "Because...if I asked you wouldn't of agreed...and if you knew it wouldn't of been a true feeling..." She stared right back at Zahara, triple colored ones holding for a moment before they averted from violet. Harsh words indeed. She stood up, hands wringing at her collar a moment. "Zahara, I honestly..." Her look hardened some. "I was tired of you always assuming the worst."
