Of course he'd go philosophical on him when she was trying to annoy/teasing him. For these purposes she'd go with the first one thought hte latter was probably true. "You know most say that if you hear walls and things like that talking it means you're insane. However I don't think that applies here so we'll drop that and pretend I never mentioned it." Watching him scribe a rune. "Malik know you're vandalzing his property?" She really wanted to know how long those two had talked and if they'd said anything else aside from haggling prices.

A look up at her..then down at the book. damn that book.
"Your father was thinking about lending me his artifical sun device? and not all gardening requires sunlight. underdark specific for apocathary."
Yeah he coudl bluff with the best of them, couldn't he.
"It was supposed to be a surprise, cultivating a small garden of roses or flowers for you. maybe somethign to wear in your hair for a wedding day to come. or rosepetals to scatter on teh walk to teh isle..things like that."

She let that smile creep across her face, at his little lies, letting him think he was winning. The jesture was sweet, the cause of the smile, but there was a little flaw to his plan...as much as she'd hate to admit it. "Roses and flowers need real sunlight...and sun spot holders are nothing but a false light and pictures. No warmth, and nothing more." Sad as that may be. "And you Lord D'vinn do not let your surprises be found out before they are due." A soft laugh, running a hand through her hair and tugging lightly at her collar. Ah, felt good to do that. "Though it is an endearing gesture, love." She knew he had still been up to something though. "And do tell, is...reading on gardening all you've been doing since your talk and prodding of Sevilin ended?"
Sevilin shrugged, tending to that rune on the wall...it was rather intricate now wasn't it? "Most are, most aren't." A look to her for a moment before back to his runing. "Yes, he knows. I get to vandalize it five times for that matter. That and a further bonus as well as a dinner order in both his and my own compensations."

Now that statement made no sense but she wasn't going to poke at it and make him go philosophical again. So she remained where she was and raised an eyebrow. "well aren't you the lucky one. Vandalize his house five times, you must have been an extra good boy to rate that." She wanted to laugh when he told her he'd been invited to dinner. He was going to enjoy that, especially with Piper's parents here. "Dinner ought to be fun. Malik's treating himself to a show along with the meal. How nice."

"And you're part of the show as well, so don't be too amused, Sweetheart." The nickname she hated so much thrown in there just to bite back at her, because she was clearly patronizing him to which he wasn't taking too kindly to at all. And he was glaring slightly now because of it...couldn't get a break could he? Malik had to make insinuations. And his mind got curious then as he finished up his rune, and walked over to her, bringing a hand up to brace on the wall right next to her head, leaning in a bit. "Won't that be nice?"

"Yes?"
A small grin.
"Come now. what else woudl I be doing that you wouldn't know about? Oh, and Sevilin and Zahara are both attending dinner tonight."
There you go, subject change.
"I woudl expect that Fianna and Kieran are staying for dinner at least as well, correct?"

She motioned a gloved hand at him in that dismissive gesture. "You are a cute one when I do corner you at things, did you know that Malik love?" A little laugh and a grin to match his own...before she frowned slightly. "Yes they are which means Sevilin is the last person that should be there. Now I think I have less of an appetite than I usually do." Oh the disater aspect that could come of all that. Sevilin didn't like Kieran, Master rune mages just weren't good together, Zahara and Sevilin antagonized each other, Zahara antagonized Malik, Piper hated Sevilin. Oh the dysfunction. "Whhhhy?" All cute and whiny like, with of course a pout. Hey he liked it when she played up the drama a bit.

That damn nickname, and here she'd thought since she'd saved his life and all he might choose not to use it anymore. Fat chance. She raised an eyebrow, "I think I'll skip dinner if you don't mind. Don't really have all that much of an..." what was he doing? Her mind flashed back to another time when he'd used the same gestures and remembering what happened at that point, caused her stomach to flip and her breath to catch. "Appetite.." she finally finished the sentence she had started. It would be extremely simple to lean forward just a little bit and let their lips brush, maybe even feel his hands... Her eyes closed for the briefest of seconds before they snapped back open, her heart racing at his nearness and she met his gaze, her own questioning. Was he trying to seduce her or just tease her?

Okay she looked adorably cute like that.
"I have it under control. Sevilin won't be playing antagonist at dinner, seating arrangement will but Kieran and Fianna togetherand Sevilin and Zahara together. so even if they do antagonize eachother, thier both within easy reach of being..restrained."
A small smile.
"they are either residents or guests. and as such, should be invited to dinner. not to mention of sevilin wants to mooch food, he at least better be prepared for the social implications. A dinner with Kieran and Fianna might encourage him a bit to find a new dwelling?"
flipping a page..hmm..wonder if he coudl make this work without sunlight in a direct sense.
"And I'm sure that Zahara won't do anything. She won't make the same mistake twice."

He inclined his head some, making his hair fall over his shoulder and sway a little with teh motion, his bangs shifting over his eyes the slightest bit. "Doesn't matter...you have to come. It's...rude to turn down an invitation now isn't it?" His mind was screaming at him, stop this stupid foray into territory better left untouched, don't give into Malik's insinuations. She was drow, she would always be drow, she'd end of hurting him once she had him in her clutches. His body screamed at him as well, though his mind paid little attention. A little exhale from him on the subject itself, "If I have to be miserable...then you might as well too. Misery loves company, as I hear it."
"Well you better." Taking that book from him so that she had his full attention on her and not some cover to whatever he was doing. Probably snooping or something knowing him. A little smirk. "You just say that because you want me to eat and you know I won't if I fear an...outbreak of attitudes." A little laugh at him before poking at his chest with a gloved hand as she went a little agressive on him."Speaking of that, I should hurt you. Breaking her hand Malik? That's a bit extreme, don't you think?"

It was rather intriguing the way his hair fell over his shoulder like that and reached up lightly and pushed that braid back over his shoulder. He was entirely too fetching with it forward like that and temptation had to be withstood. Her hand lingered there for the briefest of moments before she dropped it and shook her head, "sometimes misery is a dish best served alone. And I've never been big on following social customs. I can be rather rude and overbearing, why should I change now?" Something about him was different...though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Maybe it was the strange gleam in his eyes or...something. What was it? "Do you want me to come? If I didn't know any better...I'd say you wanted me to be there..." her voice was soft,eyes intense, watching him closely.

His eyes moved with her hand, watching her push his hair back over his shoulder, though the shorter part still lay in front. "Well...this particular misery is group oriented, and I'm sure Malik would drag you down...and that would just be embarassing now wouldn't it?" Bringing up his other hand, he touched two fingers under her chin and pushed up to bring her eyes to his own fully.
Dangerous game he was playing indeed and damn Malik for making him play it. "I suppose I do...after all, better to have someone who is somewhat on my side...even if they do have a tendency to patronize and what not." Brushing his thumb over her chin, barely grazing her bottom lip...damn his knowledge of how to work a woman.

Malik's eyes looked up to hers in all seriousness.
"She should be grateful Kieran stopped me earlier than that. I don't think she would have survived otherwise. I gave them fair warning, you were not to be touched or assaulted. It was my doing, my plan. if they had problems they were with me. She not only disreguarded that, but she dared to lay a hand on you."
Laying his book down.
"Kieran had to physically restrain me by holding on to my injured arm to keep me from coming up the stairs and ripping her apart and feeding her to Malvolence."

"Well...yes, it would." And she knew he would too, damn the blue elf. He never missed an opportunity to make her miserable and it looked like this was just one more to add to it. Wait a minute...he wanted her there? And he was touching her, by Lloth how much did this man think she could take? Her instincts might be on their last round but they weren't gone yet... She concentrated hard to keep from fidgeting and refused to yank her face away from his hand but her own hand did clench on the fabric of her skirt. That slow, gentle, back and forth motion abrading her lips lightly was working in other places as well. She swallowed and fought for some kind of answer, something that might bring things to an even playing level. What makes you think I'm on your side? But she went for a much subtler approach rather than upsetting him directly because she really didn't want him to move his fingers, unless it was to more fully caress her cheek or even to replace them with other tempting areas. "In that case, I guess it's really cruel to leave you alone to get eaten alive..." Most of all she had to remember that he was just playing with her, he was trying to get her to respond so he could slap her just like last time. So why she parted her lips and gently nibbled on his thumb, she couldn't have said. Why she lightly kissed his thumb...well she didn't know...but the moment she did, her entire body stiffened, waiting for retaliation. Damn.

Piper gave a sigh. In all round about way, it was a nice gesture...just taken about in perhaps a horrible way. "Malik...we entered that plan together, you may of pulled my by the hand to get me involved but I eventualy followed anyway...you can't take all the blame and it's not fair for you to be the bad guy...again." A hand reached out, caressing over his cheek and brishing through his hair in affectionate gesture. He always wanted to protect her from everything, even herself. It was sweet. "Love...don't worry about that...I knew she was going to do it and it was my price for not backing down from her." And for 'being a drow'. Piper let one of those affectionate smiles come up, shaking her head lightly. "But the gesture is appreciated seeing the motive behind it." A tug at the pointed tip of his ear. "Now then...are you honestly going to believe that I find you innocent of just reading?"
No no no no no no no! Stop it this instant you stupif drow! You know this is not worth it, your freedom and control are not worth Malik's little posed questions! Oh yes, the self protective mind was quite outraged right now. Her retaliantion came in the form of him tilting her chin up more before his hand moved a little to brush over her cheek, and he inclined his head more, drawing close to her so that his lips barely brushed over his as he talked. "Yes, that would be...and you've already saved my life once...I'm sure I could count on you do it again..."
He was laying the bait on thick and waiting for her to take it...after all they ahd been in this situation before, though with much more hostile intentions in mind, and he had moved first. Her turn...and then he would see if what Malik said was true. Though his mind was loathing him and he could feel the slight throb of a headache in retaliation, his mind producing an irritant to sway his attention.
