Oh hell...it happened...and apparently he was the focus of attention. If his father was ever reborn into another body and Sevilin found that body and soul...he was going to mangle both. But his attention snapped to her as she came up near his wall he might as well be hanging on like a painting. "Sevilin Inthara would be the name..."That was all she was getting out of him. But damn it he had quick fired answered without thinking about it...damnable old tendencies. Though his eyes were bold enough to give her a once over and take in her look, but not in the admiring, lustful, or even interested way. Just a general once over of calculation. Hm...he was feeling paranoid again.

"In this dark place, I am surprised that you could have arrived at all." Jiscal said with a note of jest. "But, we have our duties to our kingdoms, and must act for them when we must. I am glade that you are proving to be an honourable man." Secretly, Jiscal would admit that he missed Lord Diamond.
"Your Highness, Lady Usha. Please accept our good will and join in the festivities." Queen Zeranda said, "I hope what remains of this evening would be as magical as what was before." She curtsied, Jiscal bowed.

"I'm Naga the Serpent, but you already know that of course." She figured everyone knew that. She also said this in a loud voice, because she figured that more people should hear her name more often. "So Sevvy, what's your haul? The drow around here are pirates, but your defiantly not employed on my ship. Who do you work fo r? How much are they paying you?"
Gerard smiled at the king's hospitality. "I do what I can. " He had recieved many such compliments before, but did what he could to keep from looking like this was migt get to his head.
Usha bowed and blushed, a little uncomfortable to be adressed as if she'd ever been here bfore. "Thank you, Queen."

"Your table is awaiting you." Jiscal said with entusiasm. "Dinner shall begin shortly. Perhaps you would like to sit after such a long Tidesin."

Recognition did not spark in his eyes. He should? Well he didn't but he wasn't going to tell her that. The less she knew the better...maybe she'd just...leave him be. But the name thing...that got a raised eyebrow before a little frown. Sevvy? Well he'd never heard that one before now had he? The cutest he had ever heard his name done was Sev Sev and even that wasn't fun.
Seemed she was insistant on her questions too. Oh some merciful God had to cut him a break...though he doubted it. So a sigh and a little gesture of his hand over to Malik. "I've never been and don't plan on being a pirate...me and water don't agree. But he's the one I work for...and I don't discuss my pay outside of myself and those who do in fact pay me." Not that Malik was really paying him anymore...well, not what he used to, though he still got some living costs.

Malik was enjoyinh himself with his wife, though a chuckle as the female drow approached Sevilin. Oh that would be rich. And just to be an annoyance, made sure that the paladin would notice he was armed again. You know..it might be fun to mess with the femme drow. but he'd have to get permission for that.
"It's a party. you can mingle with your firends you know."
A light smile to Piper, twirling her again. And just to be himself, showing up the drunken rider with that annoying fat woman.

Naga frowned, lifting an eyebrow and eyeing Sevilin up and down. "Water doesn't agree with you? Half the underdark is water." She grabbed his braid and pulled him close. A very shrewed look in her eyes. She was staring at him hard. "Are you sure you're a drow?"
Any drwo would jump for an opportunity to be paid more, as well as the chance to gian spoils, or better yet, kill something."
Gerard bowed, and took his place, Meilikki was close by him. He leaned closer to her. "I appologize for not coming to see you in your new home yet and bid you welcome. My duties take far longer then I wish them to.
"There will be lots of time, Majesty, for us to visit. For now we will strengthen relations between us and our neigbors, and deal with the insides later."
He smiled, as did Usha. The two of them worked like the same person when they were together. "Rightly put, Oracle."

"And you say that as if I have a boat load of them, which I never really have had A'mael, you know that. Since when have I been the mingling type? You're just trying to get me to be social. I'm pregnant, I feel no need to be overly social and perhaps having to touch too many people, with hands that I don't know where they have been or what they do." Yes the usual banter between the newlyweds as they indulged themselves with showing up others there...or at least that was Malik's goal, she was just the arm trophy for it. "I'm allowed to be paranoid because of that now aren't I?"
"Not all the underdarks are half water..." Just this one. But the point was he didn't like to play in the water like the other drow here. Though he tensed some as she grabbed his hair and pulled him closer...oh not good. A well remembered action that five sisters just loved to indulge in. It was like a leash to them sometimes. But he swallowed and did his best to keep face in front of this woman. "Just as drow as you are....maybe you're not a drow if you have to question me." Dangerous steps Sevilin. Well to him anyway. And thusly he grasped her at the wrist and pressured her tendons enough to make her let go of his hair and he straightened his posture up. Why Sevilin how bold of you...though he had snatched his hand back as soon as possible...didn't want to loose that. About a second long action.

"Yes you are. But you know Meilikki. Not to mention wouldn't you like to tell the former oracle that your pregnant, and then get into those long chats about baby clothes and names?"
A chuckle from malik on that one.
"I know you women love to do that sort of thing."

She opened one eye wide. "Riiiight." She pressed her lips together when he pulled away from her, looking at her wrist a moment. She thought of a few spells she'd like to use on him right now...Fireball coming to mind. Or Freeze Bullet. Or Floor Break or...oh, she was excited now. Maybe she'd just hit him with an Elemekia Lance and leave his spirit burnt for a few hours. That would be lovely. She gulped down her wine, staring at him.
Okay, she'd try one more time. "I can give you three times whatever else the other guys in paying you, and I'll trow theoropy in for free. Might even get a chance to kill some elves."

Good, I thought I held that right because I'm sure you think about it to. In fact...why do I have the distinct feeling that you're tying to get me to go off and be with someone you know that no one will approach so that you can go do more casing about the place as well as get into political intrigues as you try to get yourself a good name here so you can get in on said political ring yourself?" Hm, she had really thought about that now hadn't she? Maybe...just maybe. Though a little chuckle from her. "I have my name already, and not everyone is happy about this sort of thing...Zahara for example." Even if she didn't want to mention it.
Oh Gods...he was having horrible thoughts about being shangheighed...and that wasn't an appealing look in the least. But this woman, as every drow woman he had known, was certinally presistant. But did she have to stare at him like that...made him horrible uncomfortable and he had to work to hold his rather unaffected look. Seemed she was trying to buy him off as well. Though a smirk at that. "You can't possibly top the amount he's paying me..." Therapy? He didn't like to talk about the bad things anyway, and well...he would rather ignore other elves than kill them...made him useful to others.

"the only political coziness I am interested in is the Purians. Deepwater and Honoursfield are of litle actual concern. Other than setting up information networks."
A chuckle when the dance ended, and he gave her a little bow.
"Besides, Someone has to rescue Sevilin from the drow pirate. and you know if it's Zahara, there's going to be a cat fight. while amusing, probably won't reflect too good on us."
A small kiss on her hand.
"Or we can go back to our table and sit and watch the festivities and eat. It's your choice, chev'"

Again she raised an eyebrow. "He? And yes, I can." Dont' argue about a drow and her money. She was getting suspicious of this Drow. He didn't act like he was from the underdark at all. And what's this 'not all of them' are half water, buisness? There was only one underdark as far as any drow was concerned.
She crossed her arms and cocked a hip. Then bust out laughing. "Ah ho ho ho ho! You're good. That's a funny joke. I know you can't resist the temptaion of Naga the Serpant!"

"Yes, but you're still interested. I know how you work...frankly if I didn't by this point well I would be very very worried...no one likes a stranger for a husband after all." Giving a little chuckle then to him at his little bits of fancy which were returned as they were supposed to be, just for show's sale. "Now now, you know I enjoy Sevilin's misery, subtle or otherwise...why would I go graciously save him. That's like asking me to hold eye contact and pleasant conversation with Arthur..." Hm...she really didn't have such a good track record did she? "Though I doubt Zahara would start a cat fight...Sevilin would get upset with her. And a certain level of drow behvior has to be tolerated doesn't it? Sevilin's not one for a fuss..." Giving him a little smil before twineing their fingers together and patting his own hand. "No worries, you just keep looking regal and what not among the masses." But a shrug. "Eat, have me as an arm trophy...I can go either way. I didn't plan on eating while here, would rather not risk it too much..."
He? Oh so she was implying that a woman ran the show was she? Well nope, Sevilin wasn't having that ever again. And if someone thought Zahara ran any show...she didn't over him. They had some twisted mutual understanding of some sorts that probably made little sense to everyone but her. But a shrug from him. "If you think you can well, no changing your mind. Point is...I'm not market." Though a raised eyebrow at her hip cocking and laughter. "You'd be surprised at my ability to resist things...even you."

"Arm trophy? hardly. You're my wife, not an arm trophy. And I think Arthur wants to somehow cozy up with you."
A slight smirk to her.
"And as my wife, you can do things that you would enjoy, you know. Not everything has to revolve around my interests. Not to mention your the pregnant one. catering to your needs and wants comes with that."
A little chuckle for her, and a spin around on the dancefloor, keeping her in an elvish form of the tango. hey, they coudl talk and dance at the same time.
