Warren patted her shoulder. "It might have given you some answers as what changes I've been going through." He laughed, and waved a hand. "But now I've been ommited."
Bode tapped Onyx on the shoulder. "Hello Gardian Onyx." She gave a big smile. "What are you doing in a room with bars across one wall? It would be much nice if you moved them."

For the second time in her life she woke up with a male body pressed close to her. At some point after she'd fallen back into reverie and he apparently had done the same. She felt delicious, much the way she had after the time they'd been drugged into it. Of course that time the slam of a door had awakened her and he was gone, hadn't even stuck around to make sure she wasn't feeling any strange effects. She shifted a bit and felt the warmth of his hand shift a bit. It was curled around her distended stomach, fingers splayed....almost protectively. She lay there for a moment, reconciling what had occurred between them with his possible reaction. He hadn't left yet, she counted that as a good sign and his hold was light, hardly constraining. Was he still in reverie? She was almost afraid to turn around and find out in case he reacted negatively to seeing her. Maybe she should slip out of the bed before he woke up...or apologize or...well no she had asked and he had conceded. She hadn't forced him, in fact she'd fully expected that he would say no. Her body was no longer the relaxed way it would be were she enveloped in reverie and if he was awake, he probably knew she was as well. Perhaps not...perhaps this was a reverie too. Her mind immediately tossed that out since the other time she'd slept with him they had both retained clothes and she wasn't clothed...and neither was he. It was time to know for sure. She shifted once again and covered his hand with her own. "Sevilin...?"

And just as Sevilin said those words for him to stop the drow that were fighting him actually stopped as quick as he did, well the fight was over with so what's the point of carrying on then? With a small sigh of relief he wiped the dried blood from the drakota on the ground so it was taken away by the sand and slowly placed his weapon back in it's scabbard, he gave a light nod towards the married couple who were watching so they knew he heard them loud and clear and started to make his way to them. After a few minutes Arthur finally made his way to Piper and Malik with his hands placed squarely in his pockets and he had a small confused look on his face with why Piper wanted to talk to him. Though he wished he could be asked later because right now he didn't look so good, covered from head to toe in dust and sweat, his cloths stuck to his body while he had multiple cuts almost everywhere plus the one he has on his arm because of that damn drakota. But they wanted to speak to him now so looking towards Piper he just asked. "You asked for me Piper?"

She merely shook her head and chuckled lightly at him. "You'd find anyway to make it a good reason to maim someone you thought needed maiming." Merely saying no more after that and merely occupying space more or less before he called down his little team and then Arthur up. That got another chuckle. "You know, being married and pregnant is having it's perks already...I'm not having to do a thing to get what I want." Which would probably amuse her but for so long before she felt too coddled and catered to. Though a certain tilt of her head and way she looked at Arthur as he came up to them, and no, she didn't get up, move, nor sit up in Malik's lap, only kept that highly relaxed posture. "Arthur...there is going to be a...ball of sorts...in a few days held by King Jiscal. Rather mixed crowd and what not, probably a tad on the fancy side. And I am allowed to bring three guests...would you like to be one of those?"
Yes, Sevilin was in reverie, and he was still and quiet, though his brow was creased and eyes held tightly shut as he did so live through things in his head.
'Sevilin...'
"It's for the best..." A certain pain in his wrists, blood being drawn from them but the clawing of another's fingers to let up the pressure that his own hands held, bangs hanging in his line of vision, though the figure in front of him was muted and blurry with tears in his own eyes. Then his line of vision panned a little, to a group of five that were behind him, standing in the door way.
"Well...you started...so you might as well finish, don't let us interupt you, brother dear."
"Really such a touching moment between brothers."
"Honestly Sevilin...I didn't know that you wanted to be top dog in the house that bad..."
The giggles sounding joyous and manical at the same time, like a sound so pleasant it could kill you, as he had turned back to the task at hand...the pain in his wrists starting to ebb as smaller fingers lost the strength to claw for release.
"Such a good boy...though pity...we could of had two."
"Ah ah ah, you're not off the hook yet...you don't expect to just leave him like that do you. Someone hand him a knife...make it a dull one..."
'Sevilin...' The name echoed again between his ears as his hand clenched a little from it's relaxed position at the feeling of another on top of it, a little noise given by the elf, not a whimper but close followed by almost a tortured sounding groan. Suddenly he bolted up right, eyes wide a moment as they looked around to try and give him his surroundings. And they stopped on Zahara, and he let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding.

Onyx looke dover at Bode, and kneeled down to get a better position.
"I'm here becuase certain people think I've been hunting things I shouldn't be. So until the are sure it's not me, I'm here for thier safety."
Of course 'thier safety' was said in the most sarcastic note possible, giving a glance at the guards who probably had plugged thier ears to keep out the steely sound of claws on metal.
"And what is a little lady like you doing here?"

The young elf blinked a little bit as he looked at Piper, it seemed that she wanted to know if he wanted to go with her to a ball that was going to be happening in about three days. Arthur to say he was delighted that he was asked to come along but he had a gut feeling that maybe they wanted him to come along for some reason; but he didn't care besides if he rejected Malik could just force him to go anyway. "I would be glad to go along with you Piper." He answered and gave a soft smile, though now he had to go to the tailor to get something done up for him since he didn't have much fancy stuff to wear. He lightly looked over to Malik for just a moment before looking back his wife, was he allowed to go now or did he still have to train? He couldn't move unless told because he didn't want an angry Malik.

Zahara felt his hand tighten and winced as his fingers dug into her skin. Her mind immediately linked things and she took a deep breath, sliding her hand and gripping his wrist to forcibly shove him away. Had she been wrong? Could it be that he was really no different? Her jaw clenched and she hissed outa breath then tightened her hold but she didn't have time to react because the hand released and she felt the bed move. Quickly she reached for the ever present dagger under pillow and grasped mattress. Where was her blade? A moment of panic and she flipped over and about bolted up as well before she recognized the sure signs of distress. His eyes were full of pain, anger and worst of all guilt. Was it because of her or because of a reverie? Pushing herself into a sitting position and holding the sheets up over her breasts she reached out a hand and rested it lightly against his arm, unsure of what to say. "Are you alright?" It sounded paltry and silly even to her own ears since clearly the elf was not but it was all she could think of to say at the moment.

She gave him a pleasant smile and a little inclination of her head to him in a nod. "Good. And you're done for the day, no need to torture you anymore...let you soak up your reward a bit." Taking the decision from Malik's hands, though he probably would of let Arthur go anyway.
He jumped a little at her light touch on his arm but settled just as easily as he started to calm himself down, it was no good to be all freaked out and what not. Her voice sounded muttled from the blood seemingly rushing behind his ears. "I'm fine..." Said as he dropped his eyes from hers and closed them a moment, taking a few breaths before letting them open again. "Don't worry about it...are you alright? I didn't mean to startle you."

Hmm...that was a lie if she'd ever heard one. He wasn't alright but she could tell he didn't want her to push it. She lightly squeezed his arm in comfort since stroking or patting was bad and nodded, before moving her hand off his arm and propped her pillow against the headboard leaning back against it. A simple layer of cotton covered her charms and she stretched a bit. "I'm feeling quite nice and startling me wasn't enough to upset that." One hand drifted up to run through her hair. Though she coudln't help asking timidly, "Bad reverie...or something else?"

"Did you hurt somebody, Gardian Onyx?"
She shrugged. "Playing." She rubbed the toe of her boot into the floor. "Daddy says there is supposed to be some kind of free school opening up, where we are gonna learn to read and write. But I don't wanna go. I like playing all day."

Arthur was happy to see a pleasant smile on Piper's face once again since lately it seems that everytime they look at each other there just seems to be some sort of negativity in the air; or maybe it's just him since he acts like a human too much. "Alright thank you again Piper." he replied and gave a small nod of his head before heading off and leaving them both alone. First thing Arthur did was to see a healer about the cuts all over his body and in no time he was healed like nothing happened at all, but his body called for reverie and he wanted to give his body what he needed so he quickly headed off towards his room. Once inside he hit the washroom like he always did and cleaned himself until there wasn't a speck of dirt or dust on his body, then after drying himself off he got out and quickly walked over to the bed and in moments after going underneath the covers he went out like a light.

"No. But some think I did. And they want to see me hurt for it."
A small grin.
"Your father is right. see all these symbols and images. because I can read them, I know what they are for. and I can put them in teh right order, because I know how to write them. Wouldn't you like to be able to send Piper letters? or Keely? If you learn to read and write you can."
A small smirk as arthur left.
"And who said you could let him go?"
Petting over her lightly and shaking his head.
"And I still had a minotaur to throw at him if he coudl handle those four better."

She puckkered her lips. "But I don't wanna. I can just go visit them if I want to tlak to them."
"Did Gardian Onyx ever go to school?"

He bet she was feeling nice. After all...he had a reputation for that. Not that he reveled in it, it was merely an aspect of his life that would never go away. But he tried not to think about that and merely focused his attention elsewhere...though where it went to focuse, namely her new question, he wasn't too happy either. Again he looked down to the bedsheets. "Bad reverie..." But that only got a sigh as he leaned back on one hand, bracing his weight there. "But that's nothing new to me."
"I said I could let him go and I did." Giving him one of those little smirks she tended to get, letting him pet and what not and be amused. "Well he couldn't and there's not need to maim him too much in one day...spread it out a bit, you need to keep yourself amused after all. "Besides, no sense in showing him everything all in one day, you have to keep him guessing and on his toes."

"Yes and no. I didn't go to a school, but I had lessons everyday from various pride elders. my father, my mother, Aura, Naih, Bastet, and Elias."
A shrug.
"But I did learn. and you can't always visit, sometimes you can't leave when you want to. Learning is important."
Malik rolled his eyes lightly.
"I have more than enough tricks to keep him guessing. mages, casters, various races, undead..."
Though a look at her, and a raising of his eyebrow.
"So...what are we going to wear, and how do you plan to ask Zahara and Sevilin?"
