Catawa chuckled. "That blue elf? Huh. Anything he could cast Dimitri could dispell on a whim." Not that she actually found that funny, Catawa didn't have much of a sense of humour.
But after more walking, and not seeing a soul or less, Catawa began to worry. Perhaps Dimitri had moved again...and if he had, would he have taken the modified Pipers?

"Just throwing out options." There wasn't too much more he could do, other than throw those out and follow her down to where he 'kin' was being held. But he would admit, the quiet was distubring, especially to keen hearing. He wasn't even picking up any higher pitched things.

Onyx was quiet and following, ears riveting around, nose flared. Catawa may be in a feline body, but she did not have the years of experience in using it to it's full potential for hunting.
"From what I understand, Catawa..Malik's power is different yet similar to Dimitri's. the demi-god might have found it a bit..irritating to dismiss, and let the summoning do it's job. Eradication by necromancy is simply summoning the dead to kill anything living. once all teh living are dead, they are not longer animate."
The movements didn't quite frustrate him like it did Catawa. he didn't care for games too much. but he knew that those movements were ment to distract just by how they moved.
"It smells old. but not that old, I'd say two days at most, more likely one. the natural state of decay about this place makes it smell worse and older than it should. I think we're being watched, monitored. Dimitri knows you, but not me. nor do I think he has much experience with Kieran. We're new peices on the board, and we're being gauged for further potential or use."
"One of the few sayings that a human was correct."
A small grin at her.
"How about you prepare the lecture, and I'll send word to Fianna. that way...it make him look like it's not so much a 'doing it to protect you' but a 'lying and hiding becuase it's something I know I shouldn't do and Malik wouild have stopped me' thing. After all, a daughter worrying for her father is natural. her fiance' worryign about her father becuase of information that the daughter isn't supposed to know it another."
A glance up though.
"Do you smell cinnamon?"

"They have thier moments." She crossed her arms and shook her head lightly. "Alright then, I'll fuss him out and you tattle to mother. He's just got so much drive to honor his debts and deals..." A blink. "Then again, who am I to talk...and speaking of that, I need to pay Meilikki a visit sooner or later, see how she's doing." Though okay he did divert her attention at the mention of cinnamon. A little cute sniff at the air really. "Cinnamon and chocolate. Tempting."

"Well I didn't order them to make anything like that. You haven't have you? the only other cooks I know aroudn here are Zahara and Bode..and I don't think Bode makes anything that remotely smells good."
though a grin.
"I'll tattle alright. five to one says Fianna wll be here three hours after that letter goes through."

She snorted, uncaring. "You speak as if you've known this man for years. You speak as if necromancy is second nature. Just because Dimitri does not know you does not mean he does not know how to deal with you." She padded along in silence for a few moments. "Keep your information to yourself. It is uselss to me." Anoyed? No. Angry? No. She just didn't like uselss conversations.
"And yes. One or two days old it smells. I have said that."
They came across one of thes testing rooms, this the one that Piper had found, that Zahara had smashed up. Green liquid still lay thick and sticky over the floor, but the bodies had been cleaned up.

"I haven't eaten cinnamon in over a week now..." Had it been that long? Well it was long to her at least. Spicy tree bark addict that she was...she knew the smell of the stuff easily. And what woman didn't know what chocolate smelled like? "Zahara probably made something for herself to snack on is all." A little shrug,before her posture drew up some in that unconcious defensive manner, a hadn running over her collar next to her a moment in distraction. She would be tugging on it if it was around her neck. Though she looked back to Malik slightly alarmed. "I don't think she could make it down here on her own."
Kieran gave a glance between Catawa and Onyx, okay the woman was all business right now it seemed. Then again he seemed to take it in stride. Catawa of course was would be expected, because of the time that she had first lived in to which Kieran understood to be quite the numbers of years ago, to be straight to the point kind.
A breif pause to look over damage and what not, knowing that there should be more to what was there than what really was. And then he continued on, catching up to Catawa, trying not to kick up too much dust. He wasn't recognizing anything yet.

Onyx woudl have growled lightly..and his fur did raise a bit.
"Several implies four to five to me, sorry. I've done my homework. and I have studied. wether or not you known him longer, Dimitri has, up to this point, played careful games with everyone, things to guage strengths and weaknesses. He doesn't go halfcocked. there's nothing on this plane like me and my twin, and he's not had the pleasure of seeing what I or my twin can do. I would imagine, then, that he is watching and learning. Sorry if voicing my opion for the one here that doesn't have a feline sense of smell or hearing offends you."
Then a look at the floor, and a kneel down.
"Piper's scent is lingering, fleet at best. Zahara however, is much stronger. She probably smashed these"
Then to the tubes, and sniffing about.
"Amnionic fluids. growth tubes for a humanoid thing, whicih implies bodies. so either they were disposed of, or, they were functioning. What is your guess, Catawa? think what was in these tubes is alive or dead?"

"Zahara doesn't eat cinnamon. which means if she baked it, it was probably an 'I'm sorry' or a 'peace offering'."
Then a slight grin.
"Um portal in our basement? she doesn't have to travel far to get here, now does she. I woudl assume she could at least get to the other side of our little gateway without too much trouble."

"Key words there: In the basement. Here's another set: No Kieran. Did you ever see her roaming about this place without him? Missing mother in law already Malik?" Said with a coy little smile of course then a sigh. "I just worry about her...she doesn't handle down here too well you know that." And frankly thier breif womanly dicussions were a little odd for Piper. But after fifty two years plus of not seeing her, that was probably expected. "Besides, she has to had over Ryliah to someone, travel to Torea, then enter Sadai and get portal access, and without drawing too much attention to herself." Not that Malik knew too much of what she was talking about...should ask dad for a map. "Appeasement offer from Zahara hm? Sounds like she's picking up on your own tricks, A'mael."

"Are you so sure?" She said nothing else on the subject. She wasn't interested about Onyx's little retort. Catawa Walked past the goo without really looking at it.
"They were alive when they were in the fluid. Now? Who knows." She was born in one of those afterall. They soon came across the only flesh so far, this form blackened and burnt, wearing a white coat. Glasses had smashed against the floor. Catawa stepped over it and kept movie. "I remeber him."

Onyx kept moving too, sniffing at the...thing...and snorted.
"Malik's work...he also reeks of Piper. and if you know him, Catawa...what and whom was he? and yes, I'm quite sure. even my father's counterpart in this realm is human."
Malik only shrugged.
"Anyone who's known you longer than twenty minutes knows you crave cinnamon. and I have no doubts you mother coudl make it here in a speedy way...though her handling of the underdark may be..very low, she I'm sure could and woudl be here to give Kieran a what for."

Kieran gave the form the breifest of looks. "As do I...got what he deserved." Easily detectable was the ire in Kerian's voice at the form. After all, he tried to rape his daughter, and that never put you high up on a father's 'perferred men for my daughter' list at all. But he kept pace with Catawa reguardless, starting to recall the area somewhat.
"They do not...it takes people longer than twenty minutes, especially if you're holding out on me." How many times had she heard 'cinnmamon i not easy to get down here, stop inhaling it'? Though she shook her head lightly and gave a sigh, you know when Malik usually put up a fight he always seemed to win...she couldn't say no to him, could she? So he got a smile instead. "Seems you hold more faith in my mother than me. But you're probably right, she would. Though she'd be furious with him yet loving all at the same time. Much like I treat you." A hint at what Kieran may ne in for.

The old mad had apperead as out of nowhere, he now stood next to the drow woman who cletched the book so tightly. His hands were held loosely around the large walking staff that he held in his hands, and a small smile spread across his face. His large bare feet kicked up some of the dirt as he shifted his wieght sligtly, "interesting battle ye have der." he said with a slight chuckle in his voice.
