Zahara glanced over at him, still thrilled that she'd been able to skip the rock. Yup, little things made her happy inside. But then he started talking about things that she knew he really didn't want to talk about, especially with his hesitancy in saying anything about it. It hadn't been mentioned when they'd first woken up therefore it didn't need to be mentioned at all. Malik's mental message startled her for a moment and she stiffened, not liking the close proximity of his voice. Shaking her head, she glanced at him and shook her head, waving a hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it Sevilin. I won't speak of it and you don't need to either. Just know that I'm not going to tease you about it and if you ever need it again, I'll be there for you." And that pretty much covered it right? In her mind anyway. Turning away from the river she started walking and called back, "Come on Sevilin, don't dwell on it. We need to get back anyway. Something tells me Malik is getting antsy to leave for Andal and if I'm not there in time, he'll leave me. You know he will too."

Arthur sighed a little as he rested his head on the table, this is the third time he had eaten a plate of food today and it may be only noon so far. Pushing his plate a bit away from him Arthur took a deep breath and raised his head from the table and he placed his hand over his stomach. That felt a lot better With a small smile he slowly stood up and handed his plate to a slave and decided if it was best for him to go rest from his training exercise he had earlier. With a small yawn he began his walk back to his room, the question of talking to Zahara still lingering on his mind. Well I should talk to her after all, it's only best right? the question still nagging at him Arthur made his way out of the dinning hall and started to make his way back to his room.

Slave went about thier routines, cleaning, preparing, all in the usual see through garb. male or female. Arthur was the newest member of the house, or at least the latest guest. Meilikki and Roarke didn't com from thier rooms too much. the wolven pups too young for most of thier services, though they did give the gladiatorial slaves thier workouts. Arthur, however...was.
So the female slaves did like to move in manner that was seductive, they gave him flirtatious looks, he was offered to go to the spas, to have massages. Of course not for any real relationship, but pleasing and pleasureing guests got them favor with the master, and favor with the master was the coin of the realm in here.

Kieran perhaps chuckled lightly, or maybe it was just one of those bitter sarcastic noises, who knew. "Yes, yes it is very tiring work." Personally, Kieran didn't want to think on it too hard...espcially when it came to his kingdom because that meant it dealt with a certain someone else...and they didn't quite see eye to eye on things.
Of course a raised eyebrow at Malik on his little comment about the Requias drow. "Sevilin, knows now what he speaks of, he's only looking to make my life a little harder by stirring up what has nicely settled on the bottom so to speak. I wouldn't put it past him if he were trying to get you into a position that you would not be looked on kindly for."
Hey it was the truth...there were some things that shouldn't be touched. Kieran was still learning that one. And personally he didn't want to deal with Vrist or Mahlari for that matter. Though another nod at Malik with a slight chuckle. "Indeed it will, and you're probably right about the way it would happen...I wouldn't put it past her at all." A little shrug. "Though as tradition goes...I still have to tough out a good almost two hundred more years."
Piper looked up from foals as the familiar noise went off in her head that signaled telepathy starting itself up in her head, followed soon by Malik's voice and she tilted her head slightly as she listened. "Pretty much done, we'll be in in a moment." Thus a turn to her mother, who was still horribly giggly. "Well come on, the boys are pretty much done."
A little nod from Fianna as she patted at Anica once more before turning on her boot heel and starting in. "You go on up to those two, I'll go to mine and your father's room and pack up our own things. Gods know that man doesn't pack...he just sort of throws everything in a pack and goes..." Thus making her way inside, Piper in tow and the two taking opposite directions once hitting the top of the stairs. Of course a little eyebrow raise at the note tacked to thier door, taking it down and reading through it. That was interesting.
Meanwhile, Piper pushed the door open to her own room, slipping in with perhaps an amused air about her. Walking over to them she placed her hands on her hips lightly and gave them both a smile. "So boys, how did we do? We didn't pack unneccessary things did we?"
He blinked as he was watching her for a moment, and saw her start then stiffen. Perhaps that had been a situation better left alone after all...he didn't even know why he wanted to say anything about it. Then another blink as she shook her head and waved at him dismissively. Of course his looked turned slightly baffled...and even perhaps grateful at the words that she put forth to him...and he nodded lightly as she walked away, then gave a soft sigh and words, skipping one more rock. "Thank you..."
Thus turning on his boot and walking back, catching up to her easily enough with long strides. "Yes, Malik would. Though I don't wish any of you luck...Andal is the last place I'm even going to think about and I am going to enjoy my alone time, lounging around Malik's home, eating his food, and making frivilous requests of his slaves, not to mention lording myself over petty callers."

Malik looked at Piper, a slight smirk and a glance at Kieran.
"Nothing too uneeded. one bedside table, the bedsheets, all my clothes, five bows, all the gifts for the other royals, my armor, Malvolence's holder, Ebony, in one bag. and all your clothes, your armor, the sword I made you, all your makeup, your bow in the other. oh and your bag has a couple first aid kits as well just in case. everything I was permitted to bring is brought and ready. Though I though maybe your father might like one of our tinker's bags for his journal collection."
Then a slight grin.
"And where did Fianna sneak off to on us?"

She said nothing in response to his gratitude for acknowledging it might not be the best course of action at this moment in time. It did not escape her notice how quickly he was able to catch up with her and a small smirk drifted about her lips for the briefest of moments before fading back and her face once more resuming it's indifferent expression. Yet as only he had the true ability to cause, another smile graced her lips at his words and he even got what could pass for a scoff. "Of course you will and so you should. It is your right as the powerful rune mage in control of all you see while he's gone. You might not wish me luck and neither do I. For luck cannot begin to cover what I will soon discover. Think of it Sevilin, there are so many things the surface offers that I have never had the opportunity to know...so many wonders that have been told but never shown to me...I'll get to see them all." Her voice carried a wistful quality that bespoke of childish innocence in the face of things she did not understand. Ah but the curiosity, once awakened would not be appeased. Every waking moment she thought about these things that she would soon witness with her own lavender orbs, things she could file away and experience again and again. Even if the surface was not as she imagined and wished it to be it was still an adventure she longed to experience for herself. "You and I will both be given the one thing we both crave more than anything in the world. The one thing we've both been stripped of for so long." Her smile widened and she turned and looked at him, her expression softening, eyes shining ethereally in the darkness. The darkness swarmed, her eyes met his, locking their gazes and her lips formed that single word that she'd desired for so long. "Freedom."

Piper rolled her eyes lightly and shook her head with a slight smile. "A lot of bows, but it's all not too bad. I suppose I can let you pass and what not. Foals are ready to go as well, having Keely go ahead and taken them downstairs. I should probably go check on Zahara..." One of those little thinking looks before triple colored eyes passed between both elves as Malik made his little mention. "Not a bad idea at all...they're always cluttering everything."
"They do not, I keep them nicely stacked..."
"In random places." A dismissive wave of her hand before her eyes fell back to Malik. "She went to pack her and father's own things." Thus Piper snatched up her own bag and went to her closet, spending a moment there before coming back out and plopping it back on the bed. Had to add a few things from places that Malik didn't know about it there...yes, she had little hiding spots all over that thing by this point. "All ready to go then as soon as mother and Zahara finish?"
"I believe so...make sure to grab some cloaks or there are going to be really sore eyes on this first trip up. I've already talked to Lateef earlier, he's going to meet us there. He'll arrange for our things and the foals to be taken by ship back to Lucana, and if we want we can tag along as well or take horseback. Fianna will be splitting ways with us on Torea and heading back to Odaria."
"Powerful rune mage? Are you using flattery now or that sarcasm I subtly detect in your voice?" A little bit of a half smile as he clasped his hands behind his back as he walked, resting them in the small of his back. Though a shrug. "I've been to the surface enough times, it wasn't wondrous the first time nor any of the other return trips. Sun, thick air, opposition around every corner...furry things...all sorts of distasteful things. Though do yourself a favor and stay away from the surface bound drow..you may have something thought wise in common with them...but they'll only get you dragged right back down to the Llothian style. The Depths, as we call them."
Though yes, he was probably raining on her parade about this all, but he was actually trying to be helpful...in an odd round about unobvious way. Was intriguing how she could be so enthusiastic about this all, carry that wondrous and entrapped quality to thier person. And there was the intrigue again...damn it. Though he raised an eyebrow, stopping a moment and titling his head in almost innocent fashion at her little proclomation. "Freedom?" A little scoff sound from him perhaps. "There is never a true sense of it, nor is it long lasting. One can be free, but one can not always attain freedom."

She tilted her head mocking his own position for a moment before shaking her head. "Flattery in an eloquent way comes naturally to us elves. After all, eloquence is the name of the game and we always use our prose to woo and seduce, correct? I suppose I am flattering you but don't worry, I won't do it again. Can't have you getting an ego entirely too large for you to handle, now can we?" Yes, she could play with him too. In a strange way that she didn't want to think about or even imagine, she was technically flirting with him...and he'd started it. But she wasn't thinking about that. Her steps continued until she hit the front door and pushed it open then glanced up the stairs. Always so negative wasn't he? "Well, I suppose I'll just find out for myself. Perhaps one who wasn't born on that plane has a different outlook. In any case, we shall see." Zahara knew how quickly Malik liked to move things along and she'd already mentioned the damn elf would leave her behind if she wasn't ready to go. "I need to pack..." So saying that she started up the stairs, got halfway there and turned back a sudden thought racing through her mind. "....Thanks Sevilin." For what now? "For...understanding and indulging me in my random desires. I do appreciate it more than you know." She was going to miss him. Wait, what? No, she really couldn't stand the drow outside of a purely sexual interest. "I just don't know what you're goign to do without me around to excite and stimulate you. You'll just be lost..."

He smirked at her once more, though it wasn't one of those evil 'I'm going to start hurting you now' smirks. "Zahara...I can handle anything." With the oh so confident look about himself as he watched her head upstairs, despite her being 'above him' in gesture by her being at the middle point of the staits and he more or less standing at the base of them. Then another little shrug at her. "Do as you will, after all I won't be around to stop you from being stupid or save you, or pull you out of bed by your ankles..."
Wait a moment...was he getting that feeling of missing the established routine of dark and early they had created? No...he was just an elf of routine is all, and unfortunately she was part of that routine...or maybe not unfortunately...he didn't know. Point was he would be fine, he just had to get into a new swing is all. Easy enough. Then a blink as she stopped, turned, and was expressing her own gratitude. "You indulge me enough with lessons...good students earn rewards after all."
Crossing his arms lightly and shifting his weight to one side, he gave a lop sided grin of the stairs, playing right into thier banter...whether he knew he was doing it or not. "Oh yes, I'll be horribly lost without you my dear. Don't worry...I'm sure I can amuse myself with little to no worry." Then another smirk. "What Sweetheart? No goodbye kiss to be my guide?" Before a little snort as he shoved his hands in his pockets and turned away from the stairs, starting off.

Thank the gods for that. She wasn't going to say that out loud though she would rejoice every morning that he didn't pull her out of bed by her ankles. That was a quirk of his she would gladly pass on. Of course his comment had her smirking right back at him the ever ready retort on her lips but she held it in for a moment as a delightfully evil idea sparked in her mind. It would give her a bit of enjoyment and get back at him in ways that were too delightful to express. "Oh really?" His confident air caught her completely off guard and she felt his sex appeal go up by a good ten degrees in her system. Damn him. Now she really had to do what she was planning. Walking slowly but not too slowly down the stairs she grabbed the belt around his waist, swung herself around to be facing him and tilted her head. "Just remember, you asked for this. Besides, I can't let you go without it, it would just be wrong wouldn't it Sev Sev?" Yay for annoying nicknames! Now he had one too. Her boots evened out the height difference so she just tilted her head a little more and used her hands on his shoulders to draw him, pressing her lips to his and giving him a goodbye kiss he would remember. After a few seconds she drew back adn smirked, "You can't handle me...."

He blinked once as he heard her then felt the tug at his belting and then she was in front of him, looking at him and blocking his path more or less. What now? Then an almost baffeld look as she procalimed he had asked for something...he didn't recall the words 'can you' but apparently they had been interpurted somewhere in there. Wait, 'Sev Sev'...that was a horrible mangling of his name.
Though that thought was ripped right out of his head as suddenly there was the prehaps frightening familiarity of her lips on his own again, her hands holding to his shoulders for some type of stability, or perhaps sanity. But oddly enough...it was a pleasant, almost comforting calming feeeling...she had that about her everytime she was around him didn't she? Though that moment was breif and soon he was looking at her once more. A raised eyebrow at her statement.
"I beg to differ, I could handle you if I wanted to." No drow could turn down a challange, and said as he had turned them both and was walking her backward into the pole that started the banister on the stairs, one hand coming up to caress the back of two fingers over her cheek before chucking under her chin lightly and inclining his head to hers.
If she was aware of the moment she might of expected a rough show, one that would just piss her off because he knew it could...play with her so to speak. But the one he gave was gentle really, just a light brush of his lips over her own before he pressed a rather gentle, perhaps sensual kiss to to hers, one hand almost delicately holding her jaw. What was he doing this for again?

She was ready with another response but that quickly stopped when she felt her boots move of Sevilin's accord. This was familiar now wasn't it? He was forever pushing her back into things, if she didn't know any better she'd say he liked to be in front. Her lips parted in anticipation of his kiss which she knew was coming by his fingers brushing lightly along her cheekbones. Damn him and his sex appeal, not to mention those fingers of his. She had highly erotic memories of just what those fingers could do and it was mind boggling. She let him take control of the kiss, after all, this was his show now. "You think so? Yet you haven't yet..." That wasn't entirely true but hey apparently challenging him set him down this path. And this path was an enjoyable one she wasn't ready to step off yet so why not continue? She tightened her hold on his shoulders before moving them to twine more fully around his neck and play in his hair. Let's just see how far he's willing to take this....

"You weren't saying that...that morning we spent together...I remember you mewling like a kitten for milk." Where the hell did that one come from? Dangerous statement indeed, but apparently his filter was broken...or he never had one, who knew. Especially about this subject that he didn't want to bring up. This happened everytime they were nice to each other didn't it? Odd.
"I think I can handle you quite well...very well. In fact...perhaps it is not I that can't handle you, but you that can't handle me..." This was...interetsing...and new to him. He avoided situations like this...turned from them fast as could be, yet here they were in this position once more...and her fingers did have a particular pleasing feeling in his hair. Bad thoughts out, good thought in...
But that didn't stop the challange, now did it? No, he wasn't going to let her sexually scare him again...truth be told she was quite right about how he was still letting the past win him over...he just wasn't ready to admit that yet. He framed her face with his hands, tilting her head up and pressing another kiss to her lips, this one a little more firm before deeping it. No, she wasn't going to win...he was in control here, she didn't call the shots, she couldn't make him do anything he didn't want to do, couldn't shove him into her bed or under her boot.

Arthur quietly made his way towards the stairs, he wondered where the hell everyone has gone off to ever since he finished talking to Zahara. Seemed like they all got up and left but of course they must have something important to do. Maybe they are talking about the wedding, pssh oh well I wont go anyway not my kind of thing even though it be nice to get out of here... Placing his hands in his vest pockets Arthur hummed a little tune as he came to the stairwell.
Arthur had that spaced look across his face as he seemed to have gone off into a daydream, what was he daydreaming? who knows, his legs though were making the correct movements as they approached the stairs. His body stopped when he reached the edge and Arthur snapped out of his daze to look down the stairs so he wouldn't trip and fall down. What he didn't expect to see was Zahara and Sevilin having a make out session at the bottom of the steps; Arthur didn't move an inch and blinked a few times his mind not really understanding what was going on, maybe he was in shock who knows? His ears twitched to hearing Sevilin voice say something to Zahara but again his brain wasn't quite making it clear to him. He was then brought back into reality by the faint clink he heard when his katana move, looking down he noticed that he moved down a step then slowly looked back at Zahara and Sevilin with a blank expression on his face.

Heat flashed through her cheeks and she once again was thankful for dark skin that could hide blushes. Jerk. Her eyes narrowed immediately. He was bringing that up now? It took her a long moment to come up with a suitable reply to that. "I don't remember mewling and certainly not like a small furry creature wishing for sustenance." He was quite taking her off guard with his sudden free manner about sex and all sorts of sexual things. This was...nice in a way. It gave her some free smooching time and Sev didn't get all uppity about it. He was actually...flirting with her. What a breakthrough! She pushed a little bit closer, almost like she was trying to push him back, clamping her fingers on his shirt tightly. She wasn't pushing him back and she wasn't really clawing at him so he couldn't take it the wrong way. Her other hand tightened in his hair, running her nails lightly over the back of his neck. If this continued, clothes would be coming off and she'd get a proper send off. Hmm...maybe it was time to move this elsewhere.... "I could handle you blindfolded with one hand tied behind my back...after all...I usually start things between us, now don't I Sevilin?" He couldn't deny that just like she couldn't deny the first thing he said. This was interesting now wasn't it? The words were mean but the lips were gentle...how's that for a messed up...relationship?
