A little eep and a laugh from her that was quickly silenced as he kissed her and grabbed her all in one motion, of course making her more or less stumble forward and end up straddling his lap as he held her tight. And she let him have that moment, putting into it herself , having the little moment before he let up and allowed them both into an easier sitting position. Another laugh to follow. "I don't slip...and Broog wants to please me so much that," she placed two fingers on his chest, walking them up with each word she said then, "he. won't. tell. you. anything." Ended with a tap on his nose. "And I'm not allowed to get pretty things made for myself? Have you looked at my other gloves lately? Been through three pair and that last was wearing out. Even if I was up to something...you're not patient enough to wait for the surprise? If I recall correctly...you always love my surprises. They usually work out beautifully for you." One of those coy looked, angleing her eyes to reflect light in the gold in them in that furthering of mischief manner. Then a sigh. "I'm not looking forward to it..." But at least he'd be so distracted by the others that he wouldn't harp on her food amount. Like she said to herself, she'd eat like he wanted when she was pregnant. ANd only because it was a must.

She watched the remedy disappear into his jacket, tucked there by his fingers and then her gaze snapped back up to his face. "Alright, not pretend, but ignore, although in my book they're exactly the same." She was quiet for a moment, then she shook her head, "Protect yourself from what happened or from me?" A step closer. "You don't need to protect yourself from me Sevilin, I'm not going to hurt you. I know you think I am and I know why you think that." She shook her head sadly, "It doesn't work for me but if you've found a solution that works..." she trailed off not finishing, noting his more rigid stance.

He didn't budge when she took a step closer, but he did watch her a bit more intently...odd, how one moment he was able to approach her, even push her into a close contact situation and then the moment she let her temper start up, or even what he took as her temper flaring, he got defensive as if she was going to lash out of him.
He frowned a little, seeing as she was touching on a sore subject. "You and Malik both like to play that card don't you...the 'I know what you've been through, why you are the way you are'...you both know nothing, and never could." That tad of defensiveness in his voice once more present. "Admit it...do you trust me anymore than I trust you? You say you're not out to get me...yet you like to contradict yourself on that the moment you feel you're loosing control, or the moment Malik steps into the room and looks to take you down a notch even..." Great he was feeling uncomfortable now.

She laughed bitterly, "Trust...as if we could ever trust. We're drow Sevilin, even though we've both moved away form that other world, we're still drow. Trust doesn't come easy, never has, never will." But that wasn't all she had to say and her eyes narrowed, lips turning up in a smirk, although anger coursed through her. "You are exactly right. Malik doesn't know. Malik can't even begin to have a clue, he was never Llothian and never will be. But you forget that I was. I lived in the same life you did. Maybe not as a male but I witnessed the unspeakable horrors that went on. I know what women do to men there, I know the horrors they put them through and ultimately what men are capable of. If you think you're the only one who came away form that with scars, think again Sevilin. I have awful things to relive too!" She was so tired of hearing him say things like she didn't know, she knew more than most! Her feet moved, bringing her closer to him and one finger stabbed at his chest. "I know exactly what happened to you there. Andal isn't so different you know. They served the same goddess and did the same things! So don't even tell me that I don't know because you're. dead. wrong!"

"I am patient enough..but I like to know. and I noticed your gloves wearing out, but you aren't normally one for that kind of work unless there's something going with it."
Then a chuckle.
"Sometimes. but not always. I recall a slap that surprised me that didn't exactly go over well. or a sudden swim that wasn't exactly fun. and I know you're not looking forward to it..but it's something that should be done anyway."
A small caress of her cheek. A a devilish look.
"I'll keep all teh guys on my side, and you can have all the ladies on yours."

There it was, that temper that would threaten to snuff out his life and throw him under her boot if he let it have his way. But he only widened his stance and glared down at her. "Dead wrong? Dead wrong...you think you know so much just because you've seen it. Seeing is nothing, hearing it is nothing. A hand came up to swipe hers to the side to make it drop. Until you can crawl into my skin and know what it's truly like, you have no right to tell me you know what I've been through, how I've felt, or how I am allowed to deal with it."
His voice was restrained, kept even, not raised to her at all in anger. Though perhaps restrained in the aspect of not wanting to scream and of having to think about things he rather would not. "We didn't live the same life...merely lived in the same society." Of course unguarded eyes easily showed that inner pain on issues he'd rather not speak of at all...and he was already a little sensitive because Malik had stirred them up earlier. "You have no idea...you couldn't possibly." Wow, dinner was going to suck even more now.
"Well rest assured that it's nothing that's going to cause trouble or get me hurt. May cost money but everything costs money now doesn't it?" A look at her gloves. "And you know how Broog is, he likes to dress me up and what not in all the finery that his mind can possibly produce." She had that positively innocent look about her, all innocent smiles and batting of eyelashes. A little picking at his shirt before smoothing out wrinkles in fabric that probably wasn't there. "Oh come now...I recall ones to cancel out those others, like standing up when to others when I knew what you were, and a wedding band. I even out my moments nicely." She turned her face into his had as he caressed over her cheek, pressing a kiss to his palm. "No it doesn't, you just want some fun...and what do you intend to provoke a battle of the sexes across the dinner table as well?"

Watching him, his eyes betrayed him, she caught sight of that glimmer of pain, knew what it meant and knew where it had come from. "You're so sure I don't know what I'm talking about, you're so positive that I don't' have a clue but you don't have any idea really, do you? You don't know what I went through or what I might have done or not done..." She broke off there and then sighed, "I'm sorry for whatever happened to you, but I can't change it. I can't take it away and make you forget." Her voice lowered and she sighed again, hands dropping and moving back away from him. "I wish I could. I wish I could wipe the memories away, keep you from reliving them, but I can't. I can't make yours better and I can't get rid of mine either." The urge to cup his cheek, to wrap her arms around him and absorb all the pain was strong but she shoved it away. He wouldn't want her touching him, she knew that well enough by now. But why wouldn't he let it go? She shook her head, holding out her hands, palms up in a plaintive gesture, "Why do you still let her control you?"

She was implying that she had gone through something akin to what he had, only not saying it outright it seemed. Someone else was ignoring things too, hypocrite that she was. "I've never claimed to know about your life..." Said just to emphasize the point that she was the one doing the verbal attacking here, not him.
Though that anger facade faultered as she launched into a rather perplexing set of sentences...and this was why he couldn't believe her...in one breath she could say one thing and then it's contradictive all at once. It was frustrating to say the least. He considered her a wild animal that had become a pet...it may be tame at times, but it was still a wild animal and they could turn on you at the slightest upset.
Of course in defense of himself he let that hard look overcome him again, not matter what his eyes said. "Sorry does not make it better and it never will...it's am empty word that brings no solace. You should have this conversation with Malik, you both seem overly curious and involved with what goes on in my head and in my past." Though that agression flared with her last statement, his hand clenching into a fist at his side. "They do not, control me. No one does anymore. No one will ever again. No one can." Quite adamant indeed in that respect.

"Of course not. I intend to keep Sevilin at least one body away form you, Fianna at least diagonal from Sevilin, and Kieran and Sevilin across from eachother within easy reach of myself to stop that situation. and keeping Zahara one body away from myself in case."
A slight grin.
"And I did little more than prodding verbally. I played in his head abit, and gave him somethings to think about concerning Zahara."

"Well well, you do have this all figured out in your head now don't you Malik?" She shook her head in amusement at him, he was such a strategist all the time it seemed. Though he did have his moments where it was lacking, that was fun too. But then a sigh at the mention of his pet project. "You have to continue to play with them don't you? Despite anything I say too." No she really didn't appreciate him using her friend as a tool to get Sevilin to be nonconfrontational about his loyalties and what not. "Well, you better hope this dinner arrangement works, because if it doesn't...well I can be pretty nasty to you in my own ways of retribution, now can't I?"

"Yes, I know you can. and I trust that nothing will go wrong at this dinner, and everything will work out and everyone will be civil. or I'll have to hurt people and then it'll get messy and a lot of cleaning is involved."
A slight chuckle, and another kiss for Piper, and holding her up agasint him lightly.
"You just watch. everything will go alright, and don't think you're not going to have to eat my portions."

They? There had been more than one. She knew the ins and outs of Llothian society and she also knew that it was common for a male, especially an attractive male, to be passed around. But usually one owned him and when she wanted, he was hers for as long as she wanted. He couldn't be loaned out unless she allowed it to happen. So was he referring to a select group..or her entire gender? Perplexing thought indeed. She needed to know more. "If that's what you believe and that's what allows you to reverie at night, then go for it. But you're only fooling yourself. Everyone else can see it but you." He really didn't get it, did he? Didn't he realize by the way her let her get away with things and the way he treated her he was still letting his old fears rule him? And in essence by letting old fears have control, he was letting whatever woman had been in his life to keep her hold over him. He may have broken free of the physical chains that bound him, but he was still held fast by the leash that he'd been on since the day he was big enough to walk. He'd transferred the bearer, but that leash was still there. But she shrugged and leaned back against the wall again, as though she didn't care one way or the other. "We all go through this life thinking things, sometimes they're true, sometimes they're not. But is it better to believe a false truth that makes you happy or the truth that breaks you down? That's a choice you have to make for yourself Sevilin, but you're not truly free and if you keep letting the fear take over, you never will be."

"Oh good, we have an understanding. And it can't get messy, you know how I am about my floors after all, no mess." She nuzzled against him lightly enjoying the little reprieve moment from...well everything stressful and bad in life right now. Then a chuckle. "What is it with you and my food intake? I'm perfectly healthy...when I'm pregnant then I'll let you have your way but before then, there's really no point love." Argue the pointless point that wouldn't matter in the end because he'd poke at her until she did eat a suitable among.
"Do you take joy in patronizing me? Not out to hurt me...you're being a hypocrite, and that you are blind to as well. I'm not the only one who can't see everything. We share that apparent quality. Honestly I can't understand how you and Malik don't get along, you both have me to to talk on...I'm sure you two would have quite enlightening conversations about my person. After all, you're both used to talking about beings as if they're property. Look, a common interest."
He was indeed trying to barb at her in effort to just make her loose current interest. Malik may be right that if he denied her she's physically back off but he was wrong in the fact that she would do it entirely. A frown. "And you confuse fear with security. I have not a clue why you are suddenly wanting to be so engaged in my thoughts and what not, but it doesn't matter and I tell you now. Stay out. I don't need to patronizing and downtrodding me."
Nym sat on the dinning room table with Sevilin's pay and chainmail, as well as his bracer that had gotten repaired as well. All shiny. He loved shiny...and he was rubbing all over both works of metal. They smelled not like himself, and they should. In his opinion anyway, after all he was the one to crawl all over Sevilin so it should be that way.
Though he stopped his little job at the sight of dinner more or less starting to get set out...and them wanting him and the stuff off the table. Go on, try...I'll bite. Besides, Sevilin usually sits here anyway and I'm not in your way.

Couldn't he see she was trying to get him to realize what he was doing? Trying to get him to throw off his bindings completely and move on, stop letting them dictate every move he made? But, no, of course he couldn't. She sighed softly and ran her fingers through her hair then shrugged. "Idle observations really, I don't go to the lengths that Malik chooses to." A brief pause as she mulled some things over. "It shouldn't matter to you anyway. If no one controls you, what do you care if I patronize you? Shrug it off and move on." What was it with him and his constant accusations of hypocrisy? This meeting had turned sour really quickly now hadn't it? Why was it they couldn't be in the same room without fighting? Dinner ought to be even more fun. "And furthermore, there is now way in Lloth's hell or any other hell that has ever been created, thought of, or destroyed that I would ever collaborate on something with Malik. Never."

"Because it's particularly annoying to hear it buzz in my ears every five seconds." He scoffed, shook his head...what was with her? If she was so upset with the way he was well then why didn't she just leave him the hell alone? He could call her a glutton for punishment almost, the way she wouldn't leave only to have him hurl accusationd and the like at her. He'd admit, he knew how women's bodies worked, no how they thought and that was proving frustrating right now.
"Your way, Malik's way...what does it matter. You two are more alike than you admit...prodding until you get your fingers broken, pushing farther and harder till you break things...taking what you want, regardless of others' thoughts. So alike indeed." Capitalizing on that fact for the sheet purpose that he knew it bugged her.
