She smiled at him, even gave him a pat on the arm. "Very good, that's exactly right. You don't know, I'm just being girly." That said she turned on her boot heel. "Take your time now and you know how it is with me, reward within reasonable means." Taking back the torn out page and putting it in her notebook, snapping it shut. Didn't have to sit around and wait for it, Broog would get it to her somehow and you didn't rush great ideas. So notebook in hand she made her way back upstairs.
Foals and Nerian, were all rapidly throwing an explaination to Nightmare...of coure Nerian's was more worth anything than the foals. Just had to reassure the mare that all was right and there was no need to worry. Obviously seh was upset from the unfamiliar smell in the stables.

Meilikki woke with a scream.
Nightmares usually did not find her in slumber. She saw too much to make way for her imagination. Realization soon followed that this was no nightmare, reality had simply replayed in her mind as she slept. Fresh tears welled, Meilikki couldn't hold them back if she tried. Her eyes stung from the soft light. She was almost worse than a drow in th situation, her eyes unacustomed to light and dark. She was disoriented. Before she would have been able to find her way out of the Fortress. Now she knew that one step out inot the hall and she would be completely lost.
On shakey legs, she forced herself out of bed and to the window, praying the whole time that she was wrong. She kept her eyes open, refused to let them close enough though they watered painfully.
She put a hand on the window pane. Stared in silence. Wished it wasn't true.

Keely jumped awake at Meilikki's scream, scaring the poor little girl in her waking. And for a moment she watched Meilikki before slipping quietly out of the room and going to find Piper.
Piper had been up for a few hours now, having only gotten her required four hours of reverie, and taking the ones she usually used for more reverie to use in her workings. After all she had a plan going. Sitting at the dinning room table she had a brick of drak stone that she had chisled in half and had started drawing a shape of something in chalk on, entening to carve that out of both halves. Of couse upon seeing Keely, she didn't need the girl to tell her what she wanted to, as Piper set down everything, grabbed her notebook, which was tucked in her belt, and she headed upstairs. A little knock to Meilikki's door before she let herself in, shutting the door behind herself. "Meilikki...you shouldn't be up." Slowly she walked over, placing a hand gently on Meilikki's shoulder.

Her breathing was deep and quick, dangerous for her wounded ribs, but Meilikki couldn't seem to get a grip on her usual level headed self. For a long moment, Piper went completely ignored, which was also unlike the Oracle. She couldn't take her eyes off of the puddle that had been her only friend fro a long, long time.
"I can't." She closed her eyes and tried to regain enough composer to speak. "I can't go back to bed."

She watched her as Meilikki gazed out the window, full well knowing what she was looking at and thinking about. Worried of course because Meilikki could indeed injure herself all too easily. "You don't have to." She rested her hand on Meilikki's other shoulder, taking a step back and pulled her away from it before turning the woman and pulling her into a hug, holding her in it. This wasn't fair to Meilikki at all. "I...really don't know what to say Meilikki..." Nothing she could say could make it better really...but being here was enough for right now, right?

Her finger tips trailed across the window pane as she was pulled away, keep an eye out for as long as she could until her vision was completey taken over by Piper. The tears for her beloved dragon were more violent and numerous than those for herself. For herself, she believed she could have healed rather quickly. This, she wasn't certain she would ever feel well again. She feared the void insider her cause by Tanudnra's death would be filled with lonliness and longing.
She held onto Piper as tightly as she could, her muscles strainging so hard that they hurt. What else could she do?

Piper leaned her weight to one side, taking on the bulk of Meilikii's while one arm held around Meilikki's waist, more or less supporting her weight as well while her free hands came to brush over Meilikki's cheeks. This really wasn't right at all. "I...I know it's not alright Meilikki...this is all far from it." She brushed a hand through Meilikki's hair in comforting motion. Merely stood there, letting Meilikki grip at her clothes all she wanted to.

She shook her head. nO, it wasn't alright. She didn't even know what she would moe on to, she didn't even have a career anymore to help her get her life together. She couldn't see the future, and that was frightening. She hadn't seen Tanudnra's death, that frightened her even more.
"What am I going to do?" A question she had never before had to ask.

"What you once told me...live. Just live." A sigh, hugging at Meilikki a bit more. Comfort to each other perhaps, after all Meilikki had lose Tanaundra and Piper was worried about Meilikki. "I know that it doesn't look good...and probably doesn't feel good at all...but...this isn't the end, right? You're still here Meilikki, and you're still alive...and you've still have people who care for you."

Flinging daggers, flying blades, all seeking some manner of flesh to slice into. A few met their mark and blood began to flow. The moss ran with it shining strangely with that glimmer of red. A laugh sounded from somewhere, though she wasn't quite sure where and then she saw them. Three figures, locked in combat, constantly moving to avoid each other's blades and death. Shocks of white hair, a bald head, daggers flying, swords whipping and a rune mage caught up in it all. The cord went around her neck, hung there, her continued existence hanging in the slim balance, her fate resting solely in his hands....
Violet eyes slowly opened and she sighed, then rolled over onto her side and just lay there for a moment. She was feeling much better, since the reverie had refreshed her from her display of power but her hand was still sore and her back hurt from where she'd been tossed to the ground. But at least she wasn't physically drained anymore. Glancing at her ceiling she suddenly wondered what had become of Jarlaxle. Had her plan worked or had it all been futile as she'd suspected. There was only one way to find out. She pushed herself slowly to her feet and stripped off her bloodstained, dirty clothes, then bathed and pulled on new ones. Dragging a brush through her short hair, she strapped on her trademark daggers and headed downstairs. Something had happened, she just wasn't sure what. With only a small amount of the fluidity to her movements as she usually possessed, she awkwardly sat down in her chair. Dark and early...that's the way lessons went, now wasn't it? He'd be here, he was always here.

She nodded. It was all she could do. She understood it...but...oh gods, Tanundra. Her stomach convuclsed, if she hadn't had so little in it, she might have feared throwing up.
"Tanny is...really gone, isn't he?" She still did not want to believe it.

Sevilin was just coming back from an early morning trip he had made upon coming out of his reverie. For a moment he stopped and looked to the vertitable lake that Zahara had created the day before, and expression of her power and what she was truly capable of. Surprises did come in small packages didn't they?
But he made his way inside, and to the dinning room where they usually had lessons. The first thing she would notice about him when he came into her line of sight was his clothes. He wore a simple tunic, of that favored green color of his, a half jacket that was one sleeved on the right side over top of that. On both forearms he wore silver braces, but he still had his two common place dark leather belts, pole arm secured in the diagonal one. His pants were a dark gray, tucked into his normal boots. "If you don't mind...I'd rather skip the lessons today." Said as he pushed his braid over his shoulder so that it hung slightly down his chest some befor doubling back on itself and falling over his shoulder.
"I...I'm afraid he is Meilikki." She shook her head...after all she had seen it herself. Gently Piper walked Meilikki over to the chair that was in the room, getting her to sit down before kneeling on one knee next to it, looking up at her friend, one of her hands still holding onto Meilikki's. "Tell me what I can do...even if it is just to ease the pain...or anything."

Nightmare was conviced, lulled into calmness. Malik had taken to noting the sleeping human, and the dragon guarding him. Piper had obviously let him stay here under guard. Good girl.
But he felt Piper's distress through the bond they shared. Malik had not slipped into Reverie. and had no intention of doing so at the moment. He was still not happy with Piper snapping at him for trying to do something for her precious friend.
But he went to the Oracle's room, and opened the door, leaning on the wall. He was quiet, just watching, and had no expression at present on his face.

She glanced up at him and if she was surprised at his change in attire, her face did not betray it. Blinking at him for a moment, she nodded, then stood. "Fine." She ran one hand over her neck briefly, turned around and walked away without saying another word. No lessons mean no crap and she already knew what it would be like if she stayed down there just becuase.

For a moment her attention turned from Meilikki to look at who had come in, about ready to unlease a tirade. After all, she had explicitly said no one could come in without her permission. Though that tirade never got unleased, partly because her connections to Malik told her it was him before he ever came in. Thus she turned her head to look at him a moment, perhaps watching him with almost the same look before that concern came back and her attention settled on Meiklikki once more. She could deal with her problem with Malik and they could have thier fight once she was sure Meilikki was settled for a while.
Sevilin shrugged and then made his way to the kitchen, to grab some food, returning to the dinning room and sitting down at the table with his plate. Okay, he had tried to be nice just then and hell he did own her some form of gratitude, but if she wanted to be like that fine. He wasn't in the mood to fight with her today.
