A raised eyebrow at Malik's explaing. Descriptive language that was for sure, but this was an Underdark style take on the matter, so it was rather approiate. But then a little chuckle and if Kieran could of crossed his arms in humor, he would of. "But you are wrong on that last account. My house, is Silvercrest. Fianna's is Swiftfeather...Piper is Silverfeather, which means like you, a house unto herself, just with the distinctions that rightfully belong to her."
There was indeed a reason behind her name...not just a combination of her parents but also her own identity and sense of freedom and distinction, where being mixed blood one could loose those qualities. He chuckled lightly once more. Pointing out things was nice and in the world of elves, your last name meant a lot about where you stood and who stood with you.
"He's just too nosey for his own good, that's what that is about. I'll make sure to fuss at him for that...or you could learn to push him out." A little shrug...really was she honestly going to have to fuss at him again...could always just hide his sword...lock it in a damn box for five hours. Though knowing him and his sword he could probably find it all too easily. A dismissive wave of her hand. "Oh no you weren't, you were on Malik's level."
Fianna gave a laugh. "I do belived the surface elves were all a tad bit underdressed for dinner, though me and Kieran more so." Elegant travel clothing...then again elves were naturally like that anyway. Though green eyes turned fully to Zahara. "Fianna is just fine...no need for formalities." Say what? That was just her trying to go with the flow. But a shake of her head. "However long the Underdark permits I suppose."

Malik gave a slight grin.
"I see. Well....since most of our fun is done...how about we make a little trade. Piper is hiding a secret. some project. I was hoping if you could weasel a bit of information from her...I'll reward you with a journal written by the sage of ages on norrath. it entails how to translate and speak in draconic."
But a shake of his head.
"But we also need to make sure that if we do get this arranged and the Vah family attends, that you have an ample su-pply of meat. and I mean ample. and you meantioned a few nations. I see there are drow, moon elf, high elf, wood elf, and sea elf. any other subraces that I should know about?"

"You do drive a hard bargin, Malik D'vinn. Very tempting indeed...well we'll see about that one. After all, I'm only a telepath that can pick up what is given to me, I don't forcefully take information from them." Oh so tempting indeed.
"The Brigde elves, if you want to count them into thier own category. But I assure you, food of any kind will be in good supply, regardless of bottomless pit like stomachs." Another half shrug from him. "Though it's important to remember the time difference between here and Andal...we're ahead of you all."

"Yes, by two days time. I haven't forgotten. But since most of our buisness as far as the wedding is done, and we've very little else to overall deal with...any topics you might wish to cover or woudl you like to go dote on your daughter while I arrange with certain individuals about the upcoming trip and whom is in charge of what?"

Zahara nodded, "I haven't been trying very hard to do so. I'm sure if I actually gave it a bit of effort, I'd be able to shove him out with no problem. I did duel with an Illithid after all. Extremely psionic creatures, very powerful in their own right." She was delighted to hear Fianna give her permission to use her given name much the way Kieran had and she showed her appreciation in a smile. "Well, at least we'll have somewhat of a sun for however long the Underdark permits." Fianna just had that glowing personality, much the way Piper had though Fianna moreso. She was kind and gentle and Zahara found herself suddenly jealous of all Piper had had and run away from. She shoved it away though, the past couldn't be changed, only relived again and again in reveries and tucked a piece of hair back behind her ear. "Piper, when you get a moment I need to ask you something. That's really what I came in here for and then you two distracted me with this lovely wedding business.

"You, Malik, are an elf of your planning and I am one of my schedules...and you're right, we're pretty much done. Just you know...talk to her about it all. It's really not as dreadful as she thinks." A little nod. "You get your affairs in order and I'll perhaps torment women like a little boy and eventually be sent to my room." Nevermind that he was already in it.
Piper gave a little shrug. "I suppose, you just have to learn to shut down to him, even when he tries really hard. If he wants information from you that bad he'll either work to get it or earn it, I'd say at least." A little chuckle.
Fianna gave a nod at the more or less compliment from Zahara...just as eloquent she were finding the drow to be. "As my dear Kieran says, the first time is always the hardest and it always gets easier...well this is my second time down here, so maybe it won't be so bad...even if I can stay just a day longer." Then a nod to them both. "Oh don't worry, you can have her now...I have my own things to attend to." Standing up from the bed she pet over her daughter's hair before dropping a kiss to multicolored strands and giving a wave to them both as she left the room. "Do try to behave yourselves."

"Agreed."
And Malik gave a nod, before getting up and taking his leave, running into Fianna on the way..and with a mischevious little grin, crept behind her, silent even to elvish ears, and then picked her up in a hug and set her down again.
"Always a pleasure to have you with us. and I am grateful for your input and suggestions."
Then downstairs, snapping a finger to a servant to bring her running over.
"Get me Sevilin, Broog, and Jacob. and be quick about it."

Fianna? At first a little yelp at being more or less ambushed...being snuck up on in the Underdark...how nice. Though fidning it only Malik was a little settling and she swatted at him rather affecrtionately and a chuckle. "You know better than that...silly elf. " Shaking her head as he went off then downstairs, really...men sometimes.
Sevilin had merely barely granted his attention at the slave who wanted his attention...he was quite busy though that never seemed to matter to them at all...frustrating. "What?" Enough bite in his voice now that he was letting his irriation show...though he only gave an exasperated sigh once he was informed. "I should of guessed."
Which meant he was to quit what he was doing and wander his way to Malik...not that he was there quick and in a jiffy mind you, more of causually and leisurely walked up to him. "You wanted to see me?"

Malik looked up from his seat, a vulture looking older human to his left, and Broog to his right.
"Indeed I did. Sevilin, meet Jacob, Jacob, Sevilin. I have some news to tell you, and something to discuss with you. Soon enough, I am leaving, with Piper, to Andal for a period of time. in my absence, I have decided to leave three individuals in charge. Broog, of course is one, he knows the inner working of the fortress and how to keep everyone in line. Jacob I leave in charge of financial matters. But that still leave the general dealing with the rest of the underdark. So whom do I put as front man, who's face is the one that will be seen as the one in charge here."
A slight grin.
"That is the task I am looking to give to you. you ace in runemagery makes you more then deadly, along with martial skills. I would assume you know hwo to deal with other drow and humans if need be, and in a timely manner. So if you are up to the task, we'll have to discuss present arrangements and what to do with them."

Oh great, he looked all business. Which could be good or bad concerning himself...though a passing look at both ogre and human as they were mentioned before his eyes went back to Malik in his continued addressing of himself. So...they were going to Andal...that was an intersting turn of events now wasn't it?
Of course a raised eyebrow as Malik proposed what he wanted Sevilin to be in this little triade. The face of the house in his abscense.The veritable king of Malik's own little castle for a while. It was intriguing. His answer? "Keep talking, I'm listening..."

Malik nodded lightly.
"Very simple. I want a piece of the Dominan pie, if it can be arranged. and Deepwater's as well. at present, I have a trade embargo on Deepwater from my suppliers of food. That an of course teh slave trade. the necormancers are studying thier usual things, trying to further integrate the runics into the necormancy. oh and nevermind the use of Laudi as the offical necromancer whore. I think whatever is left of her mind is starting to enjoy it. other than that, you have free reign. so are you interested or not, Sevilin?"

"I suppose I am. Can...watch your little slice of castle for you while you're away." And he hoped Malik choked on the fresh sweet air of Andal...filthy plane with its dominion of various surface trashes." A little nod of his head, this was indeed intriguing.
Why leave him as the face value of the place? Aside from being a varitable killing machine that was. He knew it not a sign of trust in any respect...he was sure Malik held no such thing for him. Besides...free food, free bed...maybe a bit of snooping around in the place...and all without the woman, surface trash, or Malik around. Good times. "And you will be leaving when?"

"At the absoulte latest, woudl be two months. preferably earlier. there is a council I plan to attend in two months time, but other affairs will be taking place there as well so if it can be arranged to go thier earlier then we will do so."
A small grin.
"I see that questioning look. that 'I wonder why me' look. It's very simple. You have the respect of Jaraxle, if not his ire as well. Kimmuriel won't try games with you, because of your runemagery and what it may or may not do. Humans fear Drow here more than any race. And you generally long fuse and violent temper. they may push...and you'll handle it. but they push too hard, they won't be pushing anymore afterwards. Not to mention, your the only one with the intellect and the skill I can trust. you really think I would leave Zahara in charge? or Roarke? or Meilikki? Humans are weak and I refuse to let that woman run my home into the ground."

Sevilin crossed his arms lightly, taking in information. Two months, alright fair enough. Though this gave him ample reason to 'snoop', if anything to 'learn the ends and outs of what he would be in charge of'. Though a raise of an eyebrow.
"Reading my mind again or are you just good at gesticular interpertation?" But a nod none the less, Malik was more or less right in all those respects. Showed how much he paid attention, which could be a good thing now couldn't it? Or horribly bad. Never knew if he coud use something to bite Sevilin in the a** with.
Though a chuckle from him. "Wise descision on your part...though still surprising." But he figured that Malik figured that Broog could handle Sevilin or something should he try to do something 'stupid'.

"Good at gesticular interpretation. I've seen that look on slaves that get particularly wretched assignments. of course that usually had the 'oh god' connotation as well."
But Malik got himself up, giving a glance to Kieran and his rooms with a slight grin.
"But tell me, Sevilin...why the hostility toward Fianna. despite the racial tensions. somethign about being in a room where you don't have a hidden possible advantage?"
