That made Malik laugh.
"Oh you are a witty one, aren't you. you are constantly refusing to accept that I have insight into the depths of you. Zahara woudl love nothing more then to refute my ability to tell her or make her do a damn thing. If fact, her first idea about this teaching was to deliberately fail in order to aggravate me and you."
Malik leaned forward some.
"'Idiots! the both of you!' sound familiar? She didn't want to see you cut down. and it had nothing to do with you being her teacher. She called you an idiot for not using your abilities, and Jaraxle an idiot for coming after you. and your right, you didn't ask her to go to that extreme. you and I both know she has access to a plethora of spells to aid you. she chose to make sure, to the upmost of her ability, that you would survive and be kept safe from Jaraxle. at whatever cost."
A slight grin.
"Even her instictual needs have focused on you. she denies herself hoping to get you. she coudl have any and as many slave to satify those wants as she feels the need to. we both know that. but she chooses to wait, to bear the pain, on the hope that you will come around to her and sleep with her again."
That got one of those slightly evil grins.
"Ever thought that she has taken up such an interest in your runing precisely becuase it lets her get so close to you? that she gets to feel your hands on her when you have to show her how to move her fingers? or what about that little trick you were pulling hte other day. you told her what you were doing..did she try to run? you saw the way her body moved. the fact that you were doing that, being put under your control..feeling your dominion..as much as she knew it wasn't going to have a good outcome, she wanted it."
Leaning back again.
"Zahara wants you. And you are constantly perplexed with her actions, the way she is a drow, but not a drow. a priestess that is no where near the sadism your used to, that doesn't even try to force you into anything. genuninely concerned for your well being, and desperately wanting to please you however she can..which at present, has been in excelling in her studies. It fascinates you. It makes you wonder, and attracts you."
A grin.
"I speak what I know. You're runics haven't yet been able to stop Malvolence. and I do like to know the emotional states of those in my service. helps me know when to breed slaves, or when to seperate some in favor of others, that sort of thing."

"Now that the gratitude stage is over, I do have some things I want to say to you. What you did was reckless and dagnerous and could have had some horrible repercussions. You just don't realize ultimately what could have happened. Let's just take the fact that you put two drow in bed together, shall we? Well, that's usually not much of a problem, except drow are some of the most sadistic creatures, especially when it comes to sex. Therefore, that oculd have been bad. IT wasn't because things didn't go as planned, thank Eili for small favors. Now then, secondly, you used a passion rune. I know that I have only been studying runes for a short time but even I know that you have ot be careful when it comes to things like that! Runes can be unpredictable at times and how did you know for sure that the two together wouldnt' have made an explosive effect that caused the two of us to literally rip each other apart? How could you possily have foreseen the outcome that ultimately reigned? You couldn't and that in itself is why I was so upset at you I actually slapped you. You could have killed us both because you wanted to prove a point. Especially when you consider that Malik was drugging us on top of your little rune play. You never ever ever ever ever mix things like that Piper! Didn't they teach you anything?!"

"Acceptance I don't think would be the word I would use...perhaps turn a blind eye to." Or perhaps he was oblivious to himself, he wouldn't put it beyond himself either, seeing as he was easily detached from things, sunconscious or other wise. "And yes, she told me that...and I told her how fruitless and utterly childish it was."
Though he knew Malik was about to launch into some sort of sermon when he leaned forward, oh boy this should be interesting, but that seemed to not be the word as he continued on. And Sevilin had to control his look, keeping that emotionless mask on. He would admit...some of the things Malik was saying were indeed though probing. And some were particularly unnerveing.
He didn't like that fact that Malik backed up that her instincts, which it was bad enough being present, were focused in on soley him and the affects on her from keeping him as her focus. Though Malik's grin almost got a frown from Sevilin. "Of course she didn't try to run, she's too stubborn and wants to show too much face value of not being afraid or intimidated by me. Frankly, I could care less...my job is to teach her, not to play into her hands." Yeah there was that defensiveness again, he just couldn't help himself. One night to him was nothing in the grand scheme of all the experiances before. Warped thinking quite apparent.
Nor did he believe the bit about the control part...for again that was freign to him, even if Sevilin was displaying such traits, he probably didn't know it. His mind was indeed a bit one tracked. "Attracts me in the way a child is attracted to a new toy. It's only natural to be intrigued by the things that 'aren't right'...and she only wants me as that child wants to toy." Hard headed sometimes too.
A calm look to Malik. "What does it matter what she may think, or what I may think and am apparently oblivious to? Why do you even care?" The word and concept or relationship was foreign to him, and as Sevilin often did, foreign things weren't worth his time in his opinion. Even it it was in his best interest, that was just what he'd been taught. Khaiver had made sure to drive that lesson hard into his head when Sevilin had only been a boy. Then again, Khaiver hadn't really been in any a better position himself. Not that Sevilin picked up on that.
Okay she spoke to soon adn that smile disapperaed with the apperance of Zahara's tirade. Piper merely crossed her arms, leaning her weight to one side. "My mother is a Master Rune Mage as well, and for everyday for ten years, I was versed in runes. I think I'm quite competant in the area. In fact, I was the one telling Malik what you tell me now. Because I didn't want things to get out of control and someone get hurt....well, you get hurt to hell with Sevilin." A shake of her head with a sigh. "So please, don't lecture me on that. And I didn't worry too much...because Sevilin is the most repressed male I've ever seen. Do tell Zahara? Who was in control in that bed? Hm? Were you on top? If you were, was it you doing all the work or did you let him help? Simply take or give and take?" Her tone a little stinging in retaliation to being more or less verbally jumped on. She was trying to prove points again

Well that was good news, that Piper actually knew what she was talking about when it came to runes and she wasn't completely in the dark. But now she was asking questions, questions Zahara really didn't want to answer. But she chose to go with the most evasive answer she could, "Of course I was on top, women are always on top, there's no other way to do it. If you let a man on top he wouldn't have a clue of what to do..." She shook her head lightly and crossed her arms, going back over the memory of that morning, attempting to figure out the answers to Piper's probing questions. "He gave. I took." She was quiet for a moment and then said softly, "But it wasn't right..." Fiddling with her daggers a moment she shook her head, "Look I just came out here to say I'm sorry for slapping you and thank you for what you did, alright. Are we all better now? Because I'd really hate for Malik to break my other hand becuase I pissed you off."

Piper rolled her eyes. Here Zahara was saying a thank you for some apparent enlightenment...when she knew nothing. It was frustrating, and it was drow thinking. Piper guessed it was time to throw in the towel. "Don't thank me...I didn't do anything for you." Said with a sigh before she shook her head in that done with it manner. There may of beena glimmer of hope in her trailed statement, but it didn't matter if her mind was already set in a certain way...and you couldn't change minds over night. She'd concede. "Yes, we're better..." Though okay a raised eyebrow at that last statement. "Broke your hand?"

"That's the point to make, Sevilin. You right, Zahara wouldn't run, but she didn't fight, either. she allowed you to do what you did. and if you didn't notice the look in her eye, or the way she moved..I did."
A slight grin.
"Listen to yourself, Sevilin. you can think of no other defense then to call it a passing thing. the way a child is attracted to a new toy. As to why I care. you know the answer already...even though you dread that very thing. you think that I went through all that trouble, all that planning, to be foiled by a female drow's morning after elixir?"
Give him a bit to think on there.
"I had a sister at one time. I know about things like that. though I only knew her a scant few months before her, my two brothers and my mother were taken from me. So don't think that I didn't plan for her to take something like that and find a way around it. now..wether or not she is bearing your child..that's debatable. after all, maybe it didn't work. maybe you just dodged that bullet this time."
A raise of a brow to Sevilin.
"But wether you admit to yourself or not. You want to bed her again. She gave herself to you, didn't take with force, and had you refuted her she'd have backed down, in pain or suffering..but she woudl have relented. Think on that a moment. she cares for you. she wants you to accept her, and not take from you."
"She's has no intention of treating you like your sisters did."

"You don't miss a thing." Sevilin was listening but also trying to figure in his head...after all, Malik had started to think highly of Zahara lately hadn't he? Though he made his motives quite clear, at least to Sevilin. He was trying to get him obligated.
Now his opinion on that very subject was mixed. Fathering children was no new concept to him, nor was raising them. He had practically raised his two brothers by himself. But in the matter of his own children was a different subject. Sevilin shook his head to clear it of that. He didn't like to think of uncertainties.
He scoffed again. "I can live without ever bedding her again, or any other woman for that matter." Though his face didn't betray it he was intrigued by the follow series of statements. Would she back down if he refused her? Though that emotionless mask turned hostile the very moment Malik mentioned his sisters, and his hand clenched into a fist. He wanted to slug Malik right there, but his overly passive nature to things stilled his hand."Well...aren't you the enlightened one..."

Zahara could tel that Piper was miffed but there was no way to explain why she felt about it the way she did. There was no way to make Piper see the way she had made Zahara see or thought she had. It was all extremely confusing to her in a strange and unbearable way. she wanted to explain ti to Piper, maybe get her friend to help her but it wouldn't work and she knew it. "Yes, he decided that since I slapped you I deserved to have all the bones in my hand crushed with a nifty little tool known as the meat tenderizer. You didn't know? WEll...now you do."

She shook her head as Zahara explained what Malik had done and ran a hand over her face, messing up the lines of color in her hair as her hand pushed back through it. "I apologize for him...he's not subtle with his methods." What was she ever going to do with that man. "Indeed I do." This was all very frustrating, being at an understanding odd with her friend. "So then..."

"I know about that becuase you let me know about it, not five minutes ago. in your thoughts about Zahara saving your life. And I can feel the hatred pouring out of you like a river. Sure you wouldn't want to serve the Lord of Hate with all that inside you?"
A slight grin.
"You can live without it. I know that. but do you really want to is the question, isn't it. How about we relive that 'incident' as you put it. and without your bias, fear, or internal hatreds to muddle or mask yourself from what you really felt."
A hand rested on Malvolence, and the energies started to actively probe at Sevilin's mind, searching, seeking, and blockading. Not only could this prove malik's point, but it also provided an insight into how well Sevilin could mentally defend himself from it. Malik was not so foolish as to think he was the only psionic on the plane...and how best to test what he should and shouldn't tell Sevilin or allow him to find out for that standpoint.

"Subtle? That elf doesn't know the meaning of the word, I know that and so do you." She shook her head and sighed, this wasn't going quite the way she had planned but she couldn't help it and neither could Piper. The fact of the matter was, Piper couldn't have the full story because Zahara couldn't tell it. And now they were searching for another subject to speak on. Since when had talking to her friend become so difficult? They used to be able to talk all the time and things just flowed between them. "Shall we go see the horses?" That was one subject they could both enjoy, and perhaps absolve this awkwardness.

Yes Malik had indeed drudged up the hate in Sevilin. The mere mention of those girls was enough to light his short fuse...though short as it may be it was angonizingly slow burning and often snuffed out before it hit the power keg. "Hate is not the word..." Nope, something far greater that even elves with their rloquent tongues could not come up with a word fo rit. Yes, they were a very sore spot for Sevilin.
A glance at Malik's hand on his sword and Sevilin knew what he was doing, espcially as he felt that feeling of something twisting through his head. Red eyes narrowed and looked to Malik's gray ones. Now there were many many many things locked away in Sevilin's mind, carefully contrusted barriers that kept him sane after all he'd been through...after all, in Andal, most drow males didn't make it bast two fifty. And to keep his life thus this long, he had to be naturally more compliant. Thus in compensation to that, his mind had more or less warped itself...Sevilin's was cold and seperated from itself actually.
In fact it would be easily found to Malik that his thoughts and perceptions were almost totally independant of what his body did and was able to feel. Like his passion for his runing could be found easily, consciously, but the passion a physical body could feel was completely missing, and most likely void or a subconcious aspect.
And Malik would find those carefully constructed barriers rather hard to penetrate, if at all. And even if he could, Sevilin probably wouldn't be affected because he had no concept of mind and body being one. They had always been seperate of one another and Sevilin was a logical elf, thus listened to what his mind and self could conclude, not the opinion his body had on the matter. Along with that rage issue he was probably insane to a point as well and had just warded that off. Yes, Malik had a very worrisome employee from the employer's stnadpoint.
Yes though, Malik was met with resistance to his prodding, Sevilin more or less thickening the barriers that protected his sanity, and also an exertion of mental force to try and push the energies fom his mind...after all, Sevilin's forte was dealing with energies now wasn't it? Thus he could rather effectively keep Malik at somewhat bay. Not to mention did the tier'dal notice the miniscule tracing of Sevilin's finger on the table?
Yes this had become awkward...you know it seemed that everytime that Sevilin or Malik were brought up, the conversations did seem to fall apart, they could go on for hours abotu anything else, but when it came to thsoe two, things just wouldn't keep the pace. "Yes, I think that would be a good idea..." Because she could feel Malik playing with Malvolence, and knowing Malik and Sevilin were alone...yeah it was best to leave that alone. "Besides, Serino is back so I need to check on him and after all, this is going to be my busiess and I'm the only one doing it, so I have to keep on top of it don't I?" So a walk to the stables, being jumped my horses who were midrift high on both elves by thus point. Quick growers indeed. "They all have names now as I hear it." Petting at them with a fond smile.

"Oh you are a strange one, Sevilin."
And yes, Malik did notice the bit of runing, and merely smirked at it. He had a way aroudn that in this little game. Runes were a precise art, painstakingly done. a fouled line or a mishaped symbol coudl have major results. But the detachment of mind and body only worked so much. after all, if the mind percieved pleasure or pain, the body responded. So...since Malik was trying to be a b*****d and prove a point..lets dig, find the moment of perfect pleasure from that little incident..and while not reliving the memory persay..lets do relive the physical reaction to it.
That should throw off that little runing finger, and make his point that Sevilin did in fact feel a great deal of pleasure from that coupling. and if not..well..it woudl be interesting to see exactly what kind of power sevilin would use to defend his mind if need be.

"You say that as if it were a bad thing."
The moment Malik tried to induce a feeling, he would feel and experiance the shifting that happened in Sevilin's mind. Things already screwed up as they were seemed to become more so, displacing things, more disconnecting, proof of his mind trying to protect itself from what his body felt and wanted to do. In essence one veiled half would welcome the rememberance, the other half would completely ignore it. Guess which side Sevilin thought with? A little war in the mind, one yelling at the other to pay attention the other ignoring or trying to it more looked up. There were often such fights in Sevilin's mind, reguardless of feelings or situations. Thus he shifted a little uncomfortably.
A growl left his throat, only to have him jump up a second later and grab Malik by the collar of his shirt, getting in his face and talking through gritted teeth. "Leave well enough alone. You've done your damage...I don't harass you for your surface elf tendancies and your actual one. Stay out of my affairs....between you and I is only business which means my personal life and affairs are closed to you."

Malvolence's blade tip casually rested agasint SEvilin's side, right at his kidney. that woudl be a rather painful death. and not much to stop it becuase it worked fast.
"Oh but have I now. Affairs of yours that affect performance or present risk to me are my buisness. Nice to know that a psionist can't easily penetrate your mind, Sevilin."
That smirk that betrayed the secondary reason for probing in his mind. What, did Sevilin think it was all about him and Zahara?
"But that temper. you might want to work on that. after all, you left your runing incomplete on the table. that might have proved more effective, and wouldn't have risked you being killed."
A more meaningful prod with Malvolence.
"Actually, your harassment for my 'surface elf' is in the fact your don't show her the respect due to the fact, like it or not, she is my bride to be. You don't have to like eachother, but there is respect. she at least respects what you can do as a master rune mage. the least you can do is show some respect for position."
A small grin.
"Oh, and I think you forgot a little something. I didn't think you would, but it appears when you get angry, you tend to forget things."
Malik's free hand clasped on Sevilin's, and he let loose his Harm Touch...pulling Malvolence away from his back in case of spasming and for sure of the need to get away.
"But, since you've been such a good sport, I'll add another fifty percent to your bonus for mental anguish."
