Arthur paused in mid speech as Zahara came back up the stairs and asked him a really odd question. Well not too much, I actually wish it was me... but before he could answer Sevilin and Zahara got into an argument, and not a normal argument but an argument, ones where deep secrets or observations of the other come out to give defense to the other or it will let them attack. Arthur slowly made his way half down the stairs hearing them yelling at the top of their lungs Zahara was yelling how Sevilin was too defensive, which Arthur kind of had pegged on the man after seeing him a few times. Zahara was, as Sevilin put it, the kind who wanted to control everyone but never really had any and that she only thought of herself.
Well that what Arthur mostly got the argument he was kind of distracted by Zahara pulling out her dagger, he was willing to jump in when she stopped and dropped it. He could lightly hear Zahara crying and Arthur knew he should leave them and started his way back up the steps, his eyes quickly catching Sevilin's before he turned around completely; he then heard another set of footsteps and turned around to see Zahara behind him. Seeing the sadness on her face he turned his head back in front of him, it was best to leave them alone it was his fault they were at each others throats.

She raced up the stairs, not caring who or what was going on below her or who saw her at this moment in time. All she saw was her room, a safe haven away from the memories and those who would prod at them. Her feet slapped against the hallway and she briefly caught sight of Fianna but ducked into her room and closed the door before the surface elf could say anything to her. Just in case she turned away from the door, grabbing her bottomless bag and started shoving random items in it. Changes of clothes, ingredients, even frivolous things that she didn't need. Whatever was in easy reach she grabbed and shoved, seeing everything through that sheen of tears. Every few minutes one might get loose and track its way down her face but she swiped it away before it could leave it's mark. She took a deep breath and used the heels of her hands to run them under her eyes and over her cheeks, ridding her face entirely of the shameful drops. Her moment of weakness was over and her guards and walls were right back up. One more deep breath. She focused on the air whooshing and filling up her lungs then felt her emotions stabilize. Making her way into the bathroom she studied her face in the mirror and sighed, running water in her hands and splashing her face. Searching her reflection in the mirror she spoke to it. "It's only because I'm pregnant..." The woman staring back at her nodded and that was all the proof she needed as she dried her face. Turning her attention to the bag she began to pack, methodically selecting items and plopping them in, readying herself for the trip. It was coming at a good time, she had to get away from her and from... him.

Arthur stared at the female drow as she raced passed him and head back to her room in tears. When he reached the top he watched her disappear to go off towards her room, and with a small sigh Arthur knew he had to talk to her at least. Walking towards her door he gave a small nod to Fianna, Arthur then walked up to Zahara's bedroom door and paused for a moment wondering if he really should do this. Zahara was a strong woman and by now she must of places her mental defenses back up and talking to her now will be talking to a stubborn bull.
With a small sigh Arthur knocked on the door twice and paused. "Zahara? it's me Arthur..." hell Arthur knew that he couldn't apologize for what he wanted to earlier he now had to face this.

A giggly Fianna wasn't so giggly at the sight of Zahara passing her up in the hallway, looking none to happy. And it didn't take and Arch elf to figure out what had happened...they were screaming for Faolan's sake. A little shake of her head, before she raised an eyebrow at Arthur as well as he went down to Zahara's room. Why did men do that? For a moment she stood there in the hall, her and Kieran's bags slung over her shoulder...might want to stick around for a moment just in case. Mothering feelings...couldn't help them.
Sevilin sat at the kitchen table, having already banished everyone from the place. Hell, this was his kitchen right now as far as he was concerned...not like anyone was going to be home to make dinner for anyway now was there? Right.
So he had him a nice big bottle of something he was told was really strong, and a shot glass. Take no prisoners...and truth be told, Sevilin was a horrible lightweight when it came to alcohol. Oh who cared right now, he was seven kinds of stressed.

She heard the knock on the closed door and snapped up straight glancing at teh door for a moment. She wanted to just tell him to go away and leave her alone. Dammit, why did people want to be mean to her today? She sighed softly and kept shoving items in the bag before dropping the bag and heading over to the door. Cracking the door she glanced at Arthur and raised an eyebrow. "Yes Arthur? What can I possibly do for you that's so important at this moment in time?" Because he'd heard and seen everything that had happened below and he was currently at her door trying to talk to her. She wanted to be left alone but first it wouldn't hurt to at least find out what the elf wanted.

Arthur paused for a moment, maybe she didn't want to be talked to after all it was probably best for him to leave her alone. He was just about to leave her door when he heard something drop and the door open just a tad so he could see her violet eyes. The tone of her voice was so, well almost like the original Zahara but a more pissed and upset rolled into one Zahara, and that’s not a good one to go talking to.
Arthur placed his hands behind his back as he looked at her, no time to be blushing even if it is just her eye he could only see. "After what happened back at the stairs...I just needed to see if you were okay since..well yeah you know..." God damn he wasn't good at this. With a small pause Arthur gave Zahara a bow, it was a small custom in his family to do so when apologizing sometimes. "I am just worried about you and I want to say...I'm sorry for what I've done when I was here in your room eariler today and what happened at the stairs, it was my fault and I'm sorry." Arthur took a deep breath after that and let it out, he wanted to stand straight but again his body froze, he couldn't look her straight in the eye he was too nervous.

She glanced at him for a long moment, not really sure why he was apologizing and thinking it was all his fault but if he wanted to take the blame she'd let him. It was Sevilin's fault but she just didn't want to get into it now. She mustered a smile for him though it was forced and her head bobbed in what could pass for a nod. "Uh-huh... Don't worry about it. I hold nothing against you, I'm not one for grudges." That was enough in her opinion, she'd told him everything was fine now he could go away and leave her alone. But just to make sure he'd do so, she calmly closed the door in his face, then flipped the lock. Maybe now people would leave her alone. Leaning back against the door for a moment she closed her eyes and just floated, not thinking, not remembering, just existing.

Fianna gave a giggle, men were so funny sometimes. Idly she leaned against the wall, looking Arthur up and down a moment...and then she gave another helpless giggle. "Women...we're complicated aren't we? You just can't win with us. When you think you're being nice, we say you aren't...when you think we're being mean, all we want is a hug. We like to play games with you don't we?" Said as she was twirling a piece of honey brown hair around her finger in idle fashion as well.

Arthur just stared at the cold bare floor as he heard her reply, she didn't know why he was apologizing for earlier, slowly he stood up straight and was about to explain himself when Zahara closed the door in front of him. Arthur stood there in another pause it seemed that even his effort had no effect, sighing he pressed one hand and his forehead against the door. "Well...I'm sorry for saying that you were wrong before, you were right and I was such a complete fool...I'll see you when you come back from your trip Zahara..." of course he didn't know that the female drow was still on the other side of the door, he just wanted some closure on his side of it all.
Sighing lightly he pulled away from the door and looked at Fianna who giggled at him, he looked at her with a raised eyebrow as he crossed his arms against his chest as she let out another giggle. Arthur listened quietly as Fianna went off on how women like to play games with men. Slowly he walked up to her so he was only standing a nice distance form her, not wanting to make things seem too weird. "Yeah that is true and if it wasn't for that things wouldn't be interesting to say at least but once in awhile you women could do us the favour of telling us your true feelings, it would help out a lot trust me..." then with a light nod Arthur turned away and began walking back to the stairs. He needed a drink badly after this. "Hope you have a good time on your trip." he called out as he kept on walking.

Could she help her giggles or happy disposition? Of course not. No really she couldn't, just like she couldn't control the flush to her skin that made her look like she was blushing. And she was half oblivious to it, except for the uncomforabtle rise in body temperature she knew about. "Oh we do tell you all our true feelings, but we don't use our words, we tell you with our eyes. Anyone can mask an emotion, or sound fine...but the eyes, well there's no helping them."
A little nod to him as he walked off past her and down the stairs. "Oh it's no trip for me, I'm going home." A little smile to follow that...before she took to humming and turned on her boot heel, walking down the hall to Malik and Piper's room, knocking on the door...hey she didn't want to walk in on anything now did she? Paid to be cautious.
Sevilin stared at perhaps a three fourths full bottle near himself. Drinking...was hard. Partially just because he had learned to hate it after some horrible experiences with it...and the shot glass in his hand was indeed full, though he took a moment to just stare at that too. Of course that was before his ears detected the sounds of heavy boots on stone flooring. Oh great.
Downing his shot he had, he probably needed it to deal with anybody at this point he sighed, propping an elbow on the table and bracing his temples with the thumb and index finger of one hand, moving fingers in circles a moment before pulling them in across his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose. Bad day.

"I'll have to remember that..." Arthur whispered at Fianna's last comment on how he could tell what a woman is feeling. Though it's so hard for me to be around like Zahara, she could be so gentle then turn into a complete b***h besides...the way she gets to me I just cannot take it anymore!!! his mind screamed as he made his way down the steps. But it's nice to see that she is going home, I always wondered what it is like up there...but my real home is here, I need to visit my family when I get the chance. Putting his hands into his vest pockets Arthur made his way to the dinning hall hoping he could score a hard drink, his body hasn't had one since he finished the last bottle of rum on his boat.
Arthur made his way through the kitchen so he could grab a bottle and was shocked to see Sevilin sitting there with one and a shot glass in his hand. Why do I keep on running into this guy? he thought and cursed his bad luck. Noticing that Sevilin had the strongest type of rum in the place, the black crystal-like glass was easy to know what kind he had, he paused for a moment as he looked at him. Clearing his throat he made his way to the far end of the table and sat down. Placing his katana across his place he linked his fingers together and placed them on the table, and after a few minutes he looked over out of the corner in his eye and said. "You're not going to be drinking all that will you?"

And there was happy boy now...coming to breathe his air and what not. So then in response to him coming in, Sevilin merely refilled his glass...he didn't even like what he was drinking, but beggers couldn't be choosers really, that was all there was to that now wasn't there.
Though for a moment he studied his glass and then looked at Arthur...would be better if Arthur got drunk before Sevilin...Sevilin just couldn't handle alcohol really, and he didn't care to have Arthur see that. Thus throwing back his shot and filling his glass once more, he slid the bottle down the table. Stupid surface trash...and no he wasn't sharing...he was just passing it away because he was done with it...for now.
((Sorry, CGing))

((It's okay))
Arthur sighed as he quickly grabbed the bottle as it was slid down towards him, "Thanks..." he muttered as he went around the kitchen to find a shot glass. When he did he plopped himself back in his chair and poured the rum into the small glass. He paused for a minute as he looked at the drink, his brain trying to think up where he has seen this drink before. Lifting the bottle to his nose he took a small sniff and then looked at the liquid that was in his glass. "Huh you chose Dark Rum, strongest stuff there is, but its best to becareful drinking it" Arthur raised his tiny glass to Sevilin and downed the drink, then quickly did it two more times before he slammed his glass back onto the table upside down. Arthur shook his head and clapped his hands together with a small "Woo!" coming from his mouth. "Heh good stuff..." he whispered and poured another glass and knocking it back before placing the bottle between him and Sevilin.

"Lucky me..." Actually sipping at his shot glass a moment, just because he didn't feel like throwing it. Was he really going to sit there and drink and make his headache worse...hm...maybe he could do nasty thing to him or throw him out once Malik and the others left. Technically would be 'his' house then now wouldn't it. Oh interesting thoughts indeed.
Though a raised eyebrow before a cringe, noise not good for the headache already brewing. "Well...that's rather borish of you now isn't it. Can easily tell you were raised by humans...bar jockies if I have my pick of them." Said as he sipped a little more at the small glass.
Hm...he could crush that glass easily in his hand...random though number twenty three of the day. Though back to watching Arthur a moment from across the table. Human habits...

Arthur just stared at Sevilin, as the man started to sip at his shot, huh out of all the things that he must of had a weakness for drinking is one of them. Must of had a hard time with it...pssh oh well the b*****d probably hates me being here and who gadfly do s**t to me when the others left, it be no big surprise really...
The young surface elf looked at Sevilin with a raised eyebrow. "So? do you really think that I care about what you think of my human habits? give it a rest" the young elf rolled his one eye as he looked back at his shot glass. Dark rum eh? Arthur has had many years to drink human booze and for that he had gotten a hard stomach, it take a lot to get him drunk on the regular stuff. Dark Rum though was some of the strongest stuff there is but Arthur could hold on if he paced himself. As for Sevilin, the young elf hoped the drow started to drink more because the after affects that you get in the morning were pretty painful; it would feel like someone set a large fire pit off deep within your stomach and it would last for about half the day.
Arthur chuckled a little as he played with his shot glass Oh how I thank uncle Sam for being the booze hound of the family.
