Bode danced in her place on his shoulder. "Can I try next? On please? I promis i won't get hurt! Just one go?" She gave Onyx those little eyes of hers, put her all into it too. She held her little flag to her chest in a very pleasing, cute fashion.
Moonstone left the ring, stretched his arms and wings. First round was easy enough. Now he had to wait for the others to be done/ It wouldn't take long, there were only eight other contestants. Then when those were fought, winners would fight winners in a random draw. And then there would be a final round for those two winners. Moonstone was going to enjoy his next round. Despite the fact that peoiple didn't like him, he had gotten high points, enough to choose next weapons. This practice was kind of fun.

((damn deleted my own post. Note to me...edit and delete are close))
For a moment as he got up her mind went to scrutinizing the marks on his back. Not as bad as usual seeing as she had filed down her nails a few days before. Made her feel a bit better. She really just watched him with that particular smile of hers, meaning things were running through her head and causing a spark of gold from her eyes as per usual reaction. Then easily pleasant sounding words...damn this tournament or they wouldn't be leaving that bed if she had anything to say about it. "Amin mela lle Malik, amin a'mael." With a sigh and a stretch she pulled herself from the bed, and went in search of her own clothes, gathering them from the floor and putting them on, when done giving a tug at her collar a few times. Unlike Malik she wasn't going to give him the chance to get back in the mood. But a look over to him now with a smile as she was tying her bandana on. "Feeling okay?"

"Feeling wonderful, Piper dear. and ready to make some guards pay for putting you in that horrible position earlier in this tournament."
Malvolence strapped to his side, and the hlem under his arm as he walked over to her, and kissed her gently, once again in the appearance fo a very dangerous and cold Shadowknight. and led her out the door and down the steps toa mostly deserted main floor, and heading toward the Colloseum, where Moonstone's event was more than likely being held.
"Maybe when your older. besides, we wouldn't want to embarass those guys too much to getting thier butts kicked by a little lady like yourself, now would we?"
A grin at her, and mussing her hair lightly.
"And if you entered I wouldn't get to have no fun you'd beat them all up first."

She giggled and straightened her hair. "I'd beat them all! And then I'd give all the winnings to people who needed it. Cause I don't need any money." She hugged Gaurdian Onyx around the neck. "Cause I got my brothers! And Daddy I am sure will show up soon!"
Moonstoen did not opt to use his new found daggers this time. He chose a real hand to hand competition. No swords, no quarterstaffs, nothing. Just hands, feet, and in this case teeth and claws. The man in front of him seemed quite weary about facing an animal like him with only his hands. Ah well, this was a chance to test the real skill of thsese people. You had to be able to fend off enemies, protect yourself without a weapon, because one day, like today, you wont have any weapons. Moonstone got down on all fours, a wicked little smile on his face. Just for show of course, he didn't actially enjoy hurting people. Seemed to scare the man in front of him though.
Always a good tactic to act confident.

"Well don't maim them all, I want some too." A slight laugh before a kiss silenced her and he went about tugging her downstairs and out of the tavern. She merely was latched to his arm as they walked, in an all too good mood right now to really even care about anything. Wasn't even watching her back when she usually would have right now. But no harm in that, Malik was right there. But the trip to the coliseum was uneventful anyway. And indeed Moonstone was having his competition.

"Brave human, willing to go hand to hand with a Vah."
Taking her to the stands by Onyx, giving a nod to both him and Bode and settling down to watch the event, Piper by him, and also keeping an eye out for a certain other elf. Terran had gone quiet apparently, and that made Malik cautious.But there he was in full armor, sword at his side
"Yeah, but bravery ain't going to save him from Moon. he's about to get a real beating. and..what's that smell..wait...oh geeze. you two I swear."
A chuckle and Bode put back down on his lap, feathers of his wings drapped about her a bit in a slightly protective manner.
"So your going to compete, Malik?"
"Yes. and what do you mean you two? or let me guess, your nose is as keen as your father. he knew when certain things happened between my father and his harem as well."

"I don't smell anytihng," said Bode. But she giggled. "Look at Moonstone! He's playing cat and mouse!
Moonstone, having an enormous amount of fun, was batting around the gaurd like he was a ball of yarn, except that it yelled and tried to fight back. Moon would smack him in the side, or the head and he would tumble to the ground. Then when he got up, Moon would smack him again. The man was getting more dizzy than hurt, but it was pretty much easy pickings. He managed to get one or two hits in, but eventually he couldn't even stand up. The judges had a moment of discussion to see if this really counted as winning, and eventually they did.

"Wow you two just completely ruined the magic." Piper rolled her eyes and gave a slow shake of her head. Men. Giving a sigh she reached to her bandana, adjusting it slightly, pulling it tighter around her ears in old habit of being out in public. Then she clicked her tongue. "And he's only competeing if it's an event that doesn't pose to great a risk..." Damn straight about that. Though she gave a smile to Bode and looked where the child beckoned, giving her own little chuckle to it. "Indeed he is Bode. Though I'd say it was more of cat and rat."

She grinned right back. "What is it the that the dead would have of me? I am unninteresting to those who do not need me." Tanundra growled, a sure warning. "Quite Tanundra. It's just idle chatter."

"You do know the next event is a kind of team thing. two people chained together at the wrist, one gets a shield, teh other a sword and they have to fight as like a team. halves of a whole."
Then Onyx grinned lightly, glancing at Moon beating the poor guy senseless.
"and sorry to ruin the moment. just forget I ever said anything. and that's right, any word on your archery buddy? I haven't seen him since you took first in your competition, Piper."
Malik nodded.
"Nothing to dangerous, I swore I wouldn't participate in anything like that and I won't. but I'll get the sword arm in this competition and that's all I need. Malvolence and I cn take care of any guard, magic or not."

Moonstone took a breather. His last competition here would be a little more difficult. His apponent was well rested, while Moonstone had just used a lot of energy. Her breather a little quicker from the fast darting around, but he wasn't that bad. Just a couple of minutes and he'd be fine.
He wondered how father could have done this so long. He needed to build up a rage, he assume, to fight for hours on end without getting tired. But Moonstone had never been able to get very mad at anything.
"Mrs. Piper! You shooted really good! Can I hold one of your arrows? They are the bestest!" She peaked out form Gaurdian Onyx's feathers, trying to give her eyes at the woman, but wasn't do so well.

She just stared at Onyx a moment then blinked. "...I think I won't watch..." Didn't honestly know if she could take it or not. Then again if she didn't watch she'd probably give herself a panic attack with worry or something. And another long look at Onyx as if she was formulating her answer carefully, which she was. "I'm sure he's off just brooding somewhere." Then her gaze turned to Malik. "That promise of yours also applies to Malvolence..." Because she knew that it could cause trouble for Malik as well. Yet her attention perked to Bode again as the little girl piped up. Reaching back to her quiver she grabbed one of the arrows she had made rather than the others and handed it to the girl, feathered end first. "Don't hurt yourself with it."

Malik grinned lightly.
"You know you won't be able to stand it if you don't. and yes, I won't let Malvolence get a grip on me, like I promised. this competition isn't as bad as it sounds. actually, because of the setup, it goes rather fast. take out the shield bearer and it's pretty much over unless your oppenet is a damn fine swordsman, like myself."
But he did give her a glance at that rather long time to answer about Terran.
"Are you sure what he said was not something we need to worry about, Piper?"
"What did he say? he threaten Piper?"
A glance up from watching Bode play with the arrow as not to hurt herself or jab him with it either, and of course keeping an eye on Moonstone, while glancing over at where Dimitri sat as well. he didn't seem to pleased.
"For once, I'm hoping I get paired with you, Malik. I don't want to go up against you chained to someone who's buddies or themselves tried to kill you with a poison. you know, don't want to get friendly fire."
