Picking Up Stars Vice Captain

She jerked away and hissed as the worm slunk off, then picked up a rock and threw it at him. "He's got my whip!" A hand to her thigh and she realized he had her dagger too. "And my dagger! Come back here you!" But she ended up just throwing rocks at trees and scenery as the worm was gone. Frustration was building even faster now and she spun around and met Sevilin face to face. "I'm fine! I was fine, perfectly fine. Nym didn't need to call you..." Her toes felt squished and squishy for that matter. Why was it she felt so helpless? All she was was pregnant for goodness sakes. And that would be why Sevilin had helped. So his precious baby wouldn't be sucked into the worm's body. That made her temper even more foul and she kicked a rock hard then shoved her hands through her hair. "Well are you going to stand there or are you going to get me somewhere I can get cleaned off? this isn't fun or attractive you know!"

And she was overreacting. Sevilin merely kept his mouth shut and rolled his eyes behind her back as she took to throwing rocks and what not then getting overly upset about her weapons. Which could easily be replaced. Hormones...Though he jumped slightly in defensive measure as she wheeled on him, yelling at him just because she could and being rather indigant about this all. Should of let the worm osmosis her...
But he gave another pet to the shivering lump in his tunic as the little critter was curled up in there and probably would have to be pried out. She could really do a number on the ears couldn't she? He opened his mouth to say something...then merely closed it with a sigh and gestured for her to follow him before he started off.
Heading in the same direction that Nym had been heading and what not, it was a good little ways longer walk before they rounded the edge of a cliff, and around that bend was Sevilin's workings on his new place of residence.

"So more color. and it's not junk. those are all valuable artifacts and items from Norrathian planar ventures and the extra planar areas connected to it."
A little indignant look, before putting thier house seal on another document.
"And I'll have to get that nightmare for Zahara. but that's not something you can get from hate, I'll have to go into the plane of nightmares for that. had to get a foal, didn't she."
A slight grumble. Terris Thule's realm was not a pleasent one. even for him.

A dismissive wave of her hand as she sat there chewing on an apple. Yup, appetite today. Already been through those grapes, an orange and now an apple. "Fine, artifacts, not junk." Giving a little laugh to that one, he was so cute when it came to his basement stuffs. Another pause from her apple. "You know...I think I should be insulted that we're paying her for this. But I also think that I know better than think that way now don't I?" A blink. "Well that was redundant. So, you're going to physically go and get one then?" What? No bartering or buying one? No sending someone else?

A small smile at her appetite, and a chuckle.
"Probably. but you know that you shouldn't be offended, because she's a drow and they only help when getting something in return. and we both know if I tried to have my own clerics work with you they'd have broek cheekbones or other limbs after two hours."
Then a shrug.
"the kind of Nightmare she wants, I imagine, is one like Ramoth. However, she was found in Hate, full grown. a tribute or gift perhaps. the actual animals are born and bred in the plane of nightmares. they have a territory up on a cliffside. fairly easy to get to. but there are other creatures there that are just as bad, if not worse, than angry Nightmares."
though a lean back.
"Lets say though, I opt to send someone else. whom do you suggest?"

"Yes I know. You don't do something for nothing down here at all, and that's just the way it is now isn't it?" Giving a little grin and a chuckle at that. Yup good to be home. Besides...anyone smart knew better than to even mess with Zahara right now, she liked to mood swing without warning. Wasn't pleasant. But a giggles. "And yes, yes I would have. Lots of clerics needing higher level clerics." But she watched him a moment. "In other words you got lucky." Seemed he was picking up on her vibes though, seeing as she would probably stress herself worrying with him gone, let alone off plane. They hadn't been really apart for quite the long time now. Hm, seperation anxiety maybe? Though Piper gained that cute little evil smirk she could muster sometimes and then gave a laugh. "Send Sevilin, or Arthur for that matter...oh who else would it amuse me to send in place of you?" Oh the fun horrid things. "Of course I'm guessing that you're going to come back saying that they will prove incompetent and Zahara probably expects you go get it personally. Like when you got me dinner that one time."

"You know. might be interesting to see Arthur tempt fate there. Give him a taste of real danger. make a hell of a training exercise."
A slight smirk.
"Might send arthur, and have Sevilin there just to 'supervise' and interfere only if he was about to get himself killed. And that was never in the deal. all it was is she gets to request a payment, not how it gets delivered."

"Now you're just trying to kill him. How many times have you told me that a mare with foals that is a nightmare is something that you don't want to mess with? I'm surprised you even let me have my way when it came to the crossbreeds. Then again, Ramoth likes me so I guess that makes up for something now doesn't." Giving an amused little look before she turned her eyes back to him, pulling her legs up in the chair with her. "Hm, putting them together...yes you are trying to cause some pain and suffering in a subtle manner now aren't you? How fetching..."

"This is true. but I know you don't want me to go personally, adn the only others here that would do the job is broog, sevilin, and we can throw arthur in there. Broog I need here if any of these propositions are to go through, and that leaves arthur and sevilin. Sevilin alone coudl probably do the job. but then it's a matter of him trusting us to keep Zahara safe and sane. Arthur coudl use the real life training, but he'd probably, like you siad, get himself killed. so we send both, one capable, one in training, and that was odds are still in favor of one of them making it back alive with her paymnet."
A small smile over to her, leaning forward a bit a lightly brushing his fingers over her legs.
"Unless you have a better idea?"

"Well I could do it just as well as those two but I knoe that I'm not even supposed to think about that so I'm not and I'm moving on in my argument at this point," pausing to finish off her apple. "Well, if Sevilin goes with him, isn't there still that problem of him trusting us to keep Zahara safe and sane as you put it?" Her eyes turning down to watch his fingers brush over her legs and gain a little smile from her before she looked back up to him. "Andal has nightmares?" Her two cent suggestion.

Clearly he was going to just stand there. Oh wait, no he was moving. She glared daggers at his back as he passed by her and rolled her own eyes then followed after him. She had no idea where they were going and it was beginning to her annoy her. "Just like I tried to tell your ferret, I don't think the fortress is this way." So great, she was gooey, unhappy, tired, and now was going to be lost in the Underdark again. Eili give her strength. "But you know where you're going, right?" she muttered under her breath. Seeing the cliff she raised an eyebrow. What was this? Did he expect her to wash in a pile of rocks? She'd really love to see that one happen. "I hate to ask but where the hell are we?"

THe creature sniffed the goo, and clawed the earth. He could feel the warmth that contrasted with the general heat of the stones not too far away, and he could hear the chittering sound of their voices. He measured that they were small in mass, but one had a heavy belly, her tracks suggested as much. HE could taste the meal from here, but his eyes were telling him that attacking the pair would be foolhardy. The air around where the two were recently held within it a strage aura of magic, very much like the imprint left after a dragon had cast his spell.
As greedy as this hunter was, he knew better than to let himself fall into such an obvious trap. The smaller one was using the big girl to lure him out. He would not fall for that trick... At least, not when there was a health population of half-elves not too far away. Stomachs were such a delicacy that he would only eat them, while he had the option to. He prowled away from the pair, choosing to move towards the outer encampents of the Purians.

"Where I'm going to live..." That was all he said to her, seeing as talking to her was probably pointless, and he took hold of her by the wrist, drawing her into the hollowed out passageway that had been created into the rock, and then let out into rather open spaces that had distinct room shape, the occassional slim tunnel in the ceilings to let in what little light and ventalation that was in the underdark.
But he continued to pull on her gently before he lead her to a room with a pool of water in it, a ring of runes surrounding it. A swipe of his hand activated them, and they would start to heat the water. "You can clean up here...I'll go get you something to wash and dry with." Before pulling his tunic off, seeing as Nym was gripped to it and he wasn't coming off anytime soon, and set it on the ground so the ferret could cam down as well, before he momentarily walked off.

Sevilin got a skeptical look. 'You're going to live here?" The incredulity and disdain in her voice was clear though she let him grab her wrist and pull her gently but pull her nonetheless through the cave. Biting her tongue to keep her sardonic comments to herself, her mood brightened considerably at that pool of water. She'd forgotten about natural pools and whatnot. Glancing back towards Sevilin she caught him taking his shirt off and shook her head then stepped forward and kneeled down, dipping her hand in the water. It felt so good, still a little chilly since the runes were still at work but she didn't care. Walking over she lightly stroked the little bundle and said softly, "Hey Nym, why don't you come take a swim and wash off the goo?" That's what she was planning to do and Sevilin was gone. Reaching back she easily rid herself of her boots then untied her top and let her skirt fall. Bending over slightly she ran her fingers through her hair then stood back up, completely nude and not really caring, peering down at the bundle. Poor Nym.

The entirety of the tunic moved across the floor at her suggestion, bumped into a wall and then splashed into the lukewarm water, the tunic coming to float on the surface while a ferret swam out from under it, his fur sticky with goo.
No, he didn't dignify her comments, he didn't care to. Was particularly done fighting with her when he could avoid it. Not for the baby's sake but arguing with her was like banging his head against a wall...it eventually started to get redundant and only made your head hurt. But he had left her and was now fetching towels...or what would pass for towels seeing as he didn't have much on him right now. Okay so it was his cloak and a cloth he used to polish his polearm's blades. They woud do. No doubt she'd just be mean about anything anyway. Though a frown at the goo that clung to the links of his chainmail...that wouldn't be fun to clean.
But with a sigh he made his way back to her only to catch her bare as the day she was born. He stood there in the doorway, watching her a moment. And oh lord, there were those feelings again...that particularly warm feelings that wanted to make him be more inclined to be personable. But Sevilin only cleared his throat, though his eyes didn't look away despite how he wanted them to out of old habit.
