A smirk, letting a hand come up to push her hair from her face some, sentences spoken between kisses and what not. What the hell was happening? Did Malik slip something in his drink again? He'd hurt him if he did...Sevilin didn't need this...or her. He was perfectly happy alone, right?
"You only think you could. And if I can't handle you...then why is it always you that comes chasing after me for...well this? You think I'm stupid when I'm not...I assure you, I know more than what you think about you. I just don't let you in on that secret." This conversation and everything about it should indeed have him running for the hills, but he wasn't running now was he? Sometimes he just didn't understand himself.
His mind breifly focused on her own movements, trying to interpert them for reasons that were long ago programed into his brain and deeply rooted in there. From outside looks, perhaps it looked like he had her pinned right where he wanted her and she was trying to get a good grip on him and push him off, or perhaps her fingers were trying to pull at his hair and yank to cause pain to get him to stop. Odd thing was that he knew that...yes this was getting weird.
Though a slight click of metal grabbed the attention of his ears a moment and he glanced up to the direction of the sound, be he in mid kiss or not. Crimson eyes locked on Arthur's own a moment and simply held the surface elf's gaze...oh crap. Why him? Why anybody for that matter...His tenative nature to this just dropped ten points, didn't it?

Arthur could not believe what he was hearing from Zahara, like how she talked about when they first had sex, that just knocked him over a bit. Sevilin was also doing the same right back and for some reason Arthur could not move an inch! It seemed that his legs were frozen in place and he couldn't look away. Damn it move! walk back before they see you! he paused for a minute as he heard Zahara speak again and it was another shock, he never knew these two were so close in this fashion. Blushing a little at her comment towards Sevilin he knew he needed to get the hell away from here and fast before any pieces of clothing started to come on off.
Then he saw a pair of crimson eyes look right at him, Sevilin heard his katana move and now was looking right into his own eyes. Oh s**t...ohshitohshitohshit... those powerful eyes were able to unlock his legs from the hold they were put on. Quickly Arthur tried to step back but his foot didn't make it all the way and slammed up against the step making him fall backwards. There was a loud thump! and Arthur was lying on his back. Quickly scrambling to his feet Arthur wipes the dust off his cloths as his famous blush appeared on his face again. "I'm so sorry about this I didn't hear you guys or see you guys until it was too late and I wanted to move but..." and there he went trying to explain to them what had happened and his apology was mixed in there somewhere too.

This was kind of nice. He was gently touching her adn kissing her even though they were both drawing metaphorical blood with their words. Truthfully those words meant nothing, lost in a sea of kisses and everything else they implied. At least until she was kissing him and he suddenly stopped going inattentive. That just pissed her off. How dare he? No man was allowed to pay attention to anything else while with her. She held the power dammit. She pushed back against the banister, breaking any contact their lips had and shoved him back roughly. "You amuse me Sevilin, nothing more. I need a bit of amusement in my life after all." She turned to stalk up the stairs and saw Arthur, her eyes narrowing slightly before she turned back and shook her head. "Do me a favor Sevilin and get a life while I'm gone." She stepped back up the stairs, she really needed to pack but first stopping in front of Arthur. "I never pegged you for a watcher but to each his own I suppose. Did you enjoy the show?" She was calm, appearing completely unruffled and the rapid rise and fall of her chest could easily be attributed to her recent display. She ran her fingers through her hair and cocked her head watching him closely.

And then it happened...she shoved him, to which he actually did get moved back a step this time, seeing as he wasn't paying attention. And he more or less blinked stupidly at her as she apparenly went off on him over whatever it was she was going off on. Ow, that hurt...he didn't know why it did or how the hell it managed to, but it did. A glare at her at her words, who did she think she was and how did she have the audacity to climb back up on that pedistal of hers...
Almost a baffled look to Zahara as she was standing there on the stairs. No really...what the hell? Thus, needing his current anger vent at the bout that had just popped up in the wake of confusion, a glare was turned on Arthur. Thus a scoff at his apologies. "And he's not ever very good at that..."
But he didn't have a retort this time for Zahara. It just wasn't coming...what did he want to day to those lines, well he didn't know at all now did he?Okay, let's be angry some more. "Waste of my time anyway!" Thus a sharp turn on his boot heel, stalking off, more or less mumbling at his own stupidity. Fool him once, shame on her, fool him twice shame on him.

Before Arthur could respond to her question, Sevilin's words drifted up the stairs and she felt her ire rise and flipped around glaring at him. Her hands hit her hips and she stalked right back down the stairs. He was angry, now she was angry too. And it was fairly obvious that he didn't have a good comeback either. What had been a fun moment had suddenly turned wrong on both of them. Words shot at each other between heated kisses meant nothing but when the physical contact was gone and anger or sarcasm laced every word it was no longer harmless. Now words cut and cut deep like an entirely too sharp blade slashing them both to pieces. She walked over and grabbed his arm hissing, "Don't you even turn your back on me after saying something like that. I didn't mean that mean Sevilin! You're just too damn defensive." He was doing it again, taking something the complete wrong way and that just pissed her off. "If you knew anything, you'd know that! What the hell is your problem anyway? You suddenly ruin a good moment, is that your MO? You get scared so you turn but instead of being man enough to say something about it you push it off on me to shove you away and then have the audacity to tell me that I'm wasting your time?! You're the one wasting mine! You're not worth the aggravation." She glared at him refusing to break eye contact with him. She was so pissed she could barely see straight. Arthur could hear every word she said too, she just didn't care.

And as she touched him, he whipped around on her, a certain look in those eyes of his that could never guard themselves from anything. Perhaps it was hurt, or something that he didn't know about...but anger was soon there. Anger that came from disbelief of sorts. She was doing it again!
"It's all about you isn't it?! It always is! No matter what anyone else does it's always about you, up on your high and mightly pedastal that you jump on everytime you feel that you aren't in control, anytime that someone shows the least amount of oppositon to you, anytime you get scared yourself!" Why were words coming out? He should be shoving her away and walking off himself...but he was so tired of this. Calm moments turned to raging torrents in a matter of moments as soon as she claimed that lofty place.
"And you meant every word! You always do! You always look for the ones that cut and you do it on purpose! You do it to keep everyone away from you! High and mighty Zahara who is better than anyone else and can take control of anything and have the world in the palm of her hand if she so desires!" He clenched his fist at his side. "My problem is you and your damned pedastel! Your damn contradiciton of yourself! But you know what, I don't care! And I don't care to try to understand it anymore! You have your pedstal, and you lord yourself over everyone! I hope the view from the top is spectacular for you!"

His words caused her to glare at him and swing her hips so she was standing much more provocatively. "I can have the entire world in the palm of my hand thank you very much. And that's not my fault, it's just what the gods saw fit to give me and the way you men are. Not my problem what you can't resist, is it?" What the hell was he talking about? He was the one who was scared, not her. She could handle him and anything he threw at her, she'd done it before and she'd do it again dammit. "You dare to point fingers at me. Dare to tell me that I'm scared. You refuse to allow yourself anything! You won't sleep with anyone because I don't know, that stresses you entirely too much. And if you don't want someone to control you then stop letting it happen! You refuse to let go of the past, holding onto it as some pathetic excuse to deny yourself what you really want!" She shook her head. There was no lying in his kiss or his gaze, he wanted it just as bad as she did and she knew it! "I don't lord myself over everyone, I merely like to be in control and there's nothing wrong with that Sevilin! Face it, you're just jealous because you won't take control! Don't shove your issues off on me." All the yelling, they were both yelling at each other now, weren't they? Which was odd because usually he did that annoying purse of his lips and ignored her.

Look at her now, standing there and trying to coax him. He had never fallen for that before and he wasn't going to now. Now was not the time to think with southern regions. "There it is again! World in the palm of your hand?! Who do I think I am?! Who do you think you are?! Preaching your 'God given divine rights' to me, you think those make you better?! No! They don't they make you worse! You think I want nothing to do with you, well when you're like this you're right! Who wants to be around a lording b***h!"
He was positively fuming, which was new for him. Well...not really. Usually quiet in his anger and passive in his motion...the passive was there somewhat, but he wasn't being quiet this time...that little rage issue of his rearing it's ugly head to snap at whatever was probing at him to get the response in the first place. "Yes, I admit...you being up on your pedistal scares me! But do you see me running like a dog with my tail between my legs?! Do you?!" Grabbing her by the shoulders, he pushed her back against the nearby wall, holding her there a moment. "Maybe I don't let go because it's all I have and it's all that I am! I know nothining else!"
Oh yes, furious, very sick of this. "Control?! Funny, I thought I had it a few moments ago but apparently I was wrong! And that control is wrong because you use it to it's full cruelty that it can give you! You and your damned pedestal that allows you to have it and you only attack when you're there and safe out of harms way! Guarded in every sense of the word! From me, even from that surface trash Piper, and even from yourself! At least I admit to things!" Letting her go and taking a step back from her as well as a breath.

And there he went again, avoiding issues and turning it all back on her. Admit to things, ha. It had taken him how long to even start talking about anything. Admit to things...so he'd admitted to the fact that he was 'scared.' Did he think that was going to get him credit? No, everyone knew he was scared, he knew he was scared. Now he was just pointing out the obvious. Her eyes rolled. "Excuses, excuses. I came from the same life you did. I saw everything you did, I went through things you can't even imagine in some cases and I'll admit you probably had it much worse than I did. Would you like me to feel bad for you? Hmm? Would you like me to tell you that it's okay to hide yourself away because you had such a hard life? Guess what? It doesn't work that way. You survive, you keep on going and you shove it behind you. Dwelling on it and using it every time someone upsets you is not the answer and I get so sick of you pulling that s**t on me. Oh poor Sevilin, he had a hard life. Wake up little drow, everyone had a s**t life, you're not the only one!" She clenched her own fists, dropping them from her hips. So badly wanted to hit him right now. "You run all the time. You break off and you run, you close yourself up and guard yourself away. And the only reason I know that for sure because your eyes always have and always will tell the truth! Oh yes, Sevilin, I know and you damn well know I know don't you! That's what scares you so badly!" She stopped, her chest heaving with her anger and blinked at him for a moment. Damn him...she didn't keep herself locked away, especially not from Piper. He was speaking of things he knew nothing about! "You had control because I let you not because you wanted it! And you never will! Never!"

"But did you have your identity stripped from you?! A new one given to you?! I doesn't matter anyway! You call it a defense mechanism them fine! I don't care, believe that!" Her opinion seemed to be mattering less and less to him. And to think that the night before, he wanted comfort of some sorts from this woman, had almost told her secrets that were best buried and never brought up.
"Don't you see that you're speaking of yourself as well?! Are you honestly that blind?!" Suddenly his voice dropped from it's yelling pitch, back down to the mellow tone it usually was, but had a panicked quickened pace to it from his anger still. "You think I don't know that they betray me? They betray me...just as yours betray you. You think you're hiding up there on that pedastal...but you're not and you can't. I'm not the only one running." He advanced on her again, taking hold of her by her arms and pushing her into the wall again, but this time kept firm hold on her.
"Never have it? Or never have it over you, is that what you mean to say? Are you letting me have it now? Letting me hold you here in place? Is it you that wants to control me? Keep me in line?" He stared at her hard a moment, unguarded ruby watching equally so amethyst. "Then take it from me. Prove to me that you're not just hiding on your pedastel...prove to me that you are what you claim you are...a heartless drow that can have whatever she wants whenever she wants and doesn't give a care in the world how she does it, how she accomplishes it. Show me!"

"Close enough! The point is you aren't the only one like that like you seem to think! You survived this long didn't you? And now you're free but you refuse to admit that." His words hit home immediately and she took a deep breath rearing back for a moment as though he'd slapped her. Her eyes didn't betray her...did they? Her hand shook for a moment as she fought for control, she never lost control. Even while she was screaming she was still in control and yet here she was. The moment he grabbed her and started pushing her back her eyes met his and she could feel the fear rise. Her hand automatically went to his arm, trying to jerk him off without doing what he was taunting and trying to get her to do. His eyes were replaced, his braid disappeared and she had to force herself to hold in a whimper. It would only bring on more violence, more hatred, more taunts. "Stop it..." she whispered. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop!" Her head was shaking and she was so terrified she could barely move but in that moment it became clear. She had to do what she had to do. Swallowing her eyes turned cold and she mechanically removed her dagger from it's sheath raising it rather slowly high enough to plunge through his chest if she so choose. She met his eyes with hers, her hand trembled for a moment then began to come down. Everything in her rebelled, screamed at her. STOP! The blade kept going getting closer and closer to his skin, aiming for the jugular vein in his neck. Her lips pursed and she told herself to keep going but she just couldn't. Her hand began to shake and she shuddered violently before her hand released and the dagger fell from her fingers, clattering to the floor. "Are you happy now Sevilin? You proved your point..." She could feel the familiar burn of tears and shook her head violently. She would not let him see her cry. Tears were weak, she wasn't weak. She was in control dammit. But she wasn't and she knew it. She leaned her head back against the wall, her nails digging into his arm. "Now let me go..."

He was actually surprised that he had her attention...though he wasn't sure that he liked having her attention, well like this. She seemed to go distanst and her eyes said just that...the lights were on but no one was truly home now were they? Especially when she more or less went nuclear on her, screaming louder than she had before.
For a moment he steeled himself for the familiar feel of cold steel sinking into flesh, and he only held her eyes with his as she went through the motions one would take as they were going for the kill. Then the familiar sound of her dagger clattering to the floor as he never looked away to see if it had in fact fell. "No...I'm not."
Sevilin let her go, more or less pulling her nails from his arm with little to no acknowlegement of pain, before his hands reached to her again, this time gently taking hold of her jaw, thumbs brushing over her cheeks to brush away tears. "I find no joy in forcing anything on, from, or of you. I find no sense of revenge, or justice, or anything. You may think otherwise, and I can't change your mind...but I am not who you think me to be...and you aren't who you think you are either."

She stood there, her body was trembling violently and the tears slipping down her cheeks, cold droplets she'd refused to shed again. He let her go and she immediately dropped her head trying to hide the fact she was crying, swiping her hands over her cheeks. He wasn't happy? He didn't enjoy this...was he lying? Her head raised, her eyes roaming over his face and she closed her eyes and winced when his hand raised. Surely he'd hit her now. She'd overstepped and that's what they all did. The moment one got out of line, fists were used...or whips but of course he didn't have one of those. She swallowed, trying to rid herself of the lump in her throat. His gentle touch completely disarmed her and the tears began to fall even faster and she shook her head bringing her arms up to cross over her chest protectively. "Then who am I...?" She locked her knees to keep herself from sinking to the floor when all she wanted to do was fall against him and cry. But she couldn't do it, it was just too much of a risk for her to take. She couldn't trust him...it was better to stand alone. she had to get out of here, away from him. Now. "Just...leave me alone Sevilin..." she ripped away from him and started up the stairs, swiping at tears along the way. She had to pack.

He watched her as she more or less deteriorated in front of him...funny, he'd felt like that so many times before...he thought it would feel good to see a woman experience the same break down as well. But it didn't...no he didn't like it at all. Drow he may be, have a motive to seek revenge he did inceed have, but he didn't want it. He had never wanted it...he just wanted to get away.
"Come down off that pedastal and maybe you'd find out." Answering her question even if she didn't even want to hear it before she almost violently pulled away from him and more or less said 'screw you'. A look following her up the stairs, more or less passing his look over Arthur as well. Oh great, he had to see all of that too...well if he was paying attention.
A sigh from Sevilin who merely shook his head and rubbed at the back of his neck a moment. Stressful, that was for sure...yes he could use the alone time that Andal would be offering with the group's departure to it. Worst he had to deal with was Arthur...that couldn't be too bad, right? A shake of his head before he turned on his boot heel, walking off to the kitchen. He needed a drink...and Sevilin rarely drank.
