Zahara tapped her nails lightly, drumming them on one of the stall doors thinking it over. "Well...I suppose in return for teaching me to be able to talk to them, I could certainly help you with them. Just tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it for you." She paused a moment and held back a grin, "We have a deal. I expect both parts of them will start as soon as possible, which means you'll probably be putting me to work just as soon as you can."

"Alright then, we do in fact have a deal." Elves and thier deals, grand things. Piper gave a plesed smile, petting over foals before seperating them out into a single file line with a whistle. "I'm teaching them by vocal commands first, they're pretty well at it...so you'll need to learn those." Walking over to each she lifted a hoof, checking things out. It was hard to tell who was walking on thier hooves all the time as opposed to who wasn't... "First thing we need to do though is watch how they're walking. A point to Serino and Nerian. "See how they're on the ground on thier hooves? When they walk they won't be. So they don't need shoes."

"Good. then I'll see you at dinner."
Malik got up, another slave bringing in teh extra funds and his chainmail, and malik left heading upstairs. Piper had new gloves. and he knew she was hiding something from him. Something to do with Broog. a little snooping in thier room might reveal something, shouldn't it. especially while Piper was distracted with Zahara.

"Vocal commands, got it." She followed Piper and peered at the foal's hooves noting the subtle differences. Zahara nodded and petted at the horses again. "Because zephyrs don't keep contact with the ground, that's why the ride is so shockingly smooth." Indeed it felt like you weren't even moving at all. "Fangs have come in too. I noticed they're not as snappish with them as of late which I count as an improvement." It was rather diconcerting to know that one wrong move and one of them could bite your hand and not let go..

Vhaern...that meant he had to mull around here all day and all night now didn't he? Well...he knew how to pass the time. Thus getting up he ran a hand through his hair and then walked from the room and took to walking practically every reachable to his person aspect of that place. He had five runes to place and thus five places to pick. So he better pick the good ones.
"Right, but anything half zephyr has the ability to either do that too or not. Really no way to tell when they're still so young but if they're going to be walking on the ground then it's best to put shoes on them." A walk over to Ramoth, petting her snout and running a hand through her fiery mane. "Isn't that right girl?" Because she wore shoes too, a look back to Zahara. "You know, Andal has some imbuned horse shoes that that mimic a zephyr's ability...I wonder if I could get my parents to hook me up with how thats done. Add horse shoes that cause levitation to the mix." A little nod to that, turning to face Zahara and foals again. "Mmmhmm. That snappy phase was quite the thing. Little buggers even got me once."

"Well that makes sense, mom walks on the ground, dad doesn't, it's up to them to decide which one to take after." She glanced at Nightmare, of course she did. After all Nym had stolen one of her shoes and nobody had ever heard the end of it. "Andal has all kinds of interesting things going for it, now doesn't it?" she grinned and shuffled her feet a little. "I bet if you ask really nice they'd give it to you. I don't think your parents would deny you anything."Where was Zahara basing this off of? Well, he rmother would deny her anything she knew she really wanted just to be mean, so since Piper's parents actually liked her and wanted her to be happy, it stood to reason that tehy wouldn't deny her something that would really make her happy. If levitation horse shoes was what she wanted then by Eili, levitating horseshoes she would get. A nod as she pet at Kerick for a minute and he nibbled lightly at her fingers with said fangs. "Taking after Malik already in your treatment of me I see.." she teased him lightly, still petting at him.

"They're a creative people with too much time on thier hands and ample resources." Notice the pronoun? They, not we. As in Piper had excluded herself from the group when technically, she was Andalian. "Oh yes they would...if they think I'll be putting myself over my head then they wouldn't give something to me. I remember this one time when I was still little, I wanted a fire kit, you know...tender pieces flint, that good stuff. Wouldn't give it to me. Afraid I might burn Ryliah down or something." A little laugh at that and then a look to Kerick, and listening to what Serino had heard from Ramoth. A chuckle. "He's looking to please Malik is all, though I know he wouldn't hurt you...not to mention you have sugar all over your fingers."

So malik tok to casually snooping around thier room, whistling while he did so..looking under the bed and in the dresser drawers, until he got to her closet. Hmm. should he or shouldn't he. whatever she was hiding was probably in there. But she would know he was sure if he moved things around. But he wanted to know what she was up to. decisions, decisions.

"Aha, you wanted to be a little firestarter when you were a child." She was quiet for a moment and then said softly, "The irony of that is if I had wanted one, not only would my mother have given me one, she would have encouraged me in using it to torture and burn things..." Yeah that was a nice subject to hit on now wasn't it. Good parents tried to keep their children from getting hurt. She filed that away for later use and glanced at her fingers. Sure enough the little white granules were all over them. "So I do. Well you sneaky little boy.." she chuckled and ran her fingers through his mane. "Please Malik..I would tell you not to bother but Ramoth might hurt me. Besides, you're such a sweetheart, you should please your Master...I mean such a big, strong boy. Going to grow up to be a big, strong stallion, I do foresee it." Ever mindful of little foal's feelings, he might not like being called a sweetheart after all, she certainly didn't when it was used by a particular male...

"Parents are parents I suppose." A little chuckle really, despite the darkness of the statement that Zahara had made. Piper always made it a point not to dwell on those sorts of things. But she watched as Zahara indulged Kerick, and boosted his ego like any male needed after getting it deflated somehow. She clapped her hands off to get any first off of them and then looked at her gloves, admiring them a moment, then a look back to Zahara. "Well shall we head back inside then?" Particularly Malik was too calm and quiet to be in prescence of Sevilin...which meant he was probably doing something that wasn't too right. It was like the scary quiet of children.

Glancing back at Piper she raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? Oh, sure thing. I suppose we've done about all we can do wiht the horses for teh day after all. Let me just say my goodbyes." And she did, to each and every horse, with pats and praise galore. She scratched the back of her neck, her hair had been getting caught in that damn collar now that it was growing again. That presented a question, should she let it grow out...or cut it? But she left teh stables and headed back to the house, Piper right beside her. "Hopefully the boys are in one piece and the house is still standing...?" Hmm...she could annoy Sevilin...unless he'd gone home.

A nod. "It's quiet though in my head which makes me think they must be up to no good." A poke at red and silvery white strands. "It's a bonded elf thing." Might as well add that in because Zahara may think her a bit crazy for that statement. So inside they made thier way. "So yes if you'll excuse me for a moment, I have to go make sure he's not oh...torturing small defenseless villages. I'll see you at dinner." Heading upstairs to thier room where her bond told her to do, pushing open the door then closing it and leaning on it. "And do tell why you're so frighteningly quiet, Malik D'vinn?"

Lets see. after taking off the hinges to the door, and laying it to the side, and rather delicately looking over things in the closet. hmm. that little bag looked like it might have somethign to do with her hidden project. and the box on top was definately Broog's work. but before he coudl grab a peek at those items. his bond told him Piper was coming back inside, so quick, put the door right back on it's hinges, put them in place, and go about reading..something. that. okay. lets read about..gardening? when did they get a book on gardening?

Which left Zahara more or less to herself. She did look at Piper funny for a moment but decided it would be so much better for her if she didn't ask. So she walked off to see what was going on around Triumverate. After all, she had nothign pressing to do and she was bored. STrolling through the manor she came upon a rather interesting sight, that of Sevilin staring intently at the wall. Studying him for amoment she leaned back against the wall across from him, crossing her arms and one foot up and cleared her throat. "You know I hear if you stare at them long enough, they eventually talk to you." A smirk, "but that's just hearsay..."

She crossed her arms, staring at him, sitting there...reading. Walking across the room she bend to look at the cover, only raising an eyebrow at him and putting a finger on top of the book, pressing downward to drop the book from his eye level. "Gardening A'mael?" No, he wasn't slick...he had been doing something she wouldn't like. "You need sun for that, you know."
He had a hand laid to that wall, and he looked over to Zahara at her throat clearing and statement. He smirked lightly...and perhaps reguarded her with an unease. "Walls have much to say actually...if one only intends to listen." Thus he turned back to the wall and took to scribing on it...apparently he liked this spot. "Many things to say that most don't wish to hear and thus they block out the whispers...prison, freedom, safety, torture...much indeed. Of course everyone hears then differently." Unexpected response, eh Zahara?
