Uh oh, she was smiling. It was the 'I have an idea' smile too...and that worried him. A litte noise from the infant though on his shoulder and he moved Zykaiel from his shoulder to his arms once more before walking over to the crib in the room and settling the child down before returning his attention to Zahara.
And a raised eyebrow. "It's not a cave...it's a series of rooms carved out inside of rock structure." So there. "And yes it is done..." And then the other eyebrow got a raise as she proposed her little idea. He gave a little snort and a scoff. "Move in with me? And leave your little surface elf behind?" Yes, still barbing her just because she had upset him some, and hey it was true...those two were attached to an extent.
A little nod and a shrug about the bedroom, alright if he didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity then fine by her. Though a little tilt of her head to the side as he chuckled, apparently finding something funny or at least amusing. "I suppose it does, but I think I'm way past used to it by now...being a surface elf in the underdark just wasn't an easy test at all to pass." Raising an eyebrow as he got that thinking on another subject look and his mind was apparently wandering. No, don't ask what he was thinking about. "Point is I just need to stop fussing and thinking about it, it's only going to stress me out."

Arthur mumbled lightly as he wobbled down the hallway, his voice was so light barely anyone could hear what he was saying, he was cursing Malik for what the he had forced him into and just wish he could find a way to made the drow pay for all of this. But right now his body felt weak, not just because of the sex but because of the neck wound that he had gotten when Laudi bit him before their private moment together. Slumping up against a wall he called over a servant and told him to go and get a cleric quickly, and in a flash the slave was gone only to arrive with what he had ask for moments later. The cleric was a bit surprised at Arthur condition and tired to get the reason as to why the young surface elf had a neck wound, but Arthur just told the cleric to heal his neck or he would find a way to make sure he wouldn't be able to treat anyone ever again. With that on his mind the cleric went to work and in no time at all Arthur's neck was almost completely healed except for just a few cut marks where she sunk her fangs into him, after thanking the cleric and letting the man go along his way Arthur slowly got up and started to walk back to his room; if Malik or anyone else for that matter were to see him know who knows how he would act towards them? He did not want to get angry at anyone if they dare corss his path, well mostly anyone he was only pissed off at Malik at the moment.

Cedric held the earing and handed it back. "I have enchanted it so it carries the Nightvision spell. When you wear this, you can see in the dark."
Cedric yawned, and turned to the tunnels. "A basilisk can more or less kill us by looking at us. I guess that means we must find him first." He walked silently into the cavern, literally dissappearing into the shades. He must have walked three feet before stopping.
"Its here." He whispered behind him, and stood very still. The large mass of flesh housed maybe eight legs, and its maw the length of half of Cedric's leg. It's eyes seemed to be on the sides of its head. The Elf swung his sword from his belt horizontal in a quick draw, causing a field of diflecting disks to from infront of him, the eyes of the beast were everywhere but no where.
"I never really got to speak to him." Zallikite said.
"He was a real charmer. Everyone did what he wanted them to do." Talon said in a rather appreachiative way. "Got me my first ship, and my second and fourth."
"What happened to them?" Zallikite asked.
"They sank." Talon replied.

"Which is the definition of a cave but I'm not going to argue particulars with you Sevilin. As long as you have room and it's finished, I'll just have to deal with whatever you don't have." She didn't even let the Piper barb get to her because it was true, they were rather close. "She's got Malik and her baby. Besides with her being pregnant I don't really want to be around her." It was awkward...knowing the way Piper felt about her baby and the many fights they'd had about Zykariel, well those two were taking some space right now. "And Zykariel's needs come first, right? So the solution is simple. I move in with you and then i can nurse Zykariel whenever he needs it and won't have to cross the Underdark to do so. Besides, no one can follow me on there, on my constant jaunts so your home remains a secret. There, everybody wins."

"Groovey." She put the earing back in and ta dah, sight. It was kind of eery, but neat at the same time. Aella followed as best she could...but to be honest the basilisk caught her by surprise. She screamed, closed her eyes, and threw the staff with the sharpened end.
It embedded itself in the creatures forhead, piercing it's brain.
Allea peeked out from under her hands, which were covering her eyes at this point. "Whoops."
Meilikki stoode. "Well, kind sirs, would you like a place to hang your clothes, clean yourselves, and sleep? I have several rooms available if you wish to stay for a time."

"That was quick. Good Job Aella!" Cedric said cheerfully. He pulled her away from the creature, looked it over, "Not worth raiding." He placed a hand softly on her back and lead her out of the cave, and towards home.
Talon and Zallikite both bowed, "Thanks." They said in unison.
"Celeste requested Trem, and Cid asked us to bring him with us when we brought the remainder of the seeds." Zallikite informed, probably for a second time.
"We should go and get cleaned up. Not nice for a couple of well travelled men to stand around and muddy up the place." Talon suggested, and hey both excused themselves from Meilikki, and found residential rooms.

He shook his head, this just got more and more intereting now didn't it? Yup, sure did. Every gods damned minute it did. "You wouldn't last a week in my place, I'm sure you'd find it much too boring, and structured. But if you want to give it a shot go ahead, just stay out of things that you should know better than to poke in in the first place."
Say what? Oh hell he just gave her a go ahead. He knew from her spending merely a night or two over time before that she was never happy with his place, be the state it was in or something other. Like how his meals were and what not and so on and so forth. Whatever...he would put up with her till she quit...it was whatever was best for Zykariel anyway. And he just didn't want to spur an attitude from her right now...didn't need to expose the child to harsh or raised voices and what not.

Onyx anyway grabbed it by the backend and started lugging it.
"Lucky shot. good, but lucky."
His tone said all in good fun though.
"and I was looking forward to stabbing it with these daggers. phooey."
So dragging it back behind him, back home.
"and what do you mean not worth raiding? it's got godo meat, and the skin ain't too shabby for belts and such either."
"True. So we'll let those two work out thier own issues. You know that's one of those little quirks I love about you. always so cheerful even with bad or upsetting news."
though a servant lightly knocked, and came in giving a bow to piper and a look to malik.
"the male surface elf is in his room."
before quickly leaving.
"Well..Arthur had his first drakklin. think we should give him a 'get well soon' card or something?"

"Well someone in this relationship has to be positive when it seems there is no positive aspect." Even if she didn't think she was always cheerful under such circumstances but compared to most down here she probably was now wasn't she? Though quite the venomous look turned on the door at the knock and that slave got a rather nasty look as well. Like the whispering thing, how many times did she say that she didn't want anyone other than Malik in thier room these days? Another on of her little self concious pregnant quirks. And then that look was turned on Malik. Uh oh. "You did what to him now?!" Oh look the yelling, but a hand was then thrown up. "No wait, don't tell me, I don't want to know!" Nope, would probably be better if she didn't know...she'd probably be guilty by association anyway when things did come to light because she 'allowed' Malik to do something he probably shouldn't of let him do.

"Like I said, I'll deal with it." Personally she could already imagine his house, the rooms all laid out in a predictable pattern with the same sort of objects in each. His kitchen would be small and have nowhere near the amount of cupboard space she would need, his training room probably had a runic circle embedded in teh floor. And he would have a training room, as serious about runing as he was and training as well. Even while she was learning things, he was forever scribbling or runing himself. He probably had only the basics for furniture and there would be not even a drop of alcohol in the place. His bathroom had looked rather promising last time she was there though. Of course it was probably over booby trapped and there was most likely a series of tunnels to get through before she would even find the predictable layout of his home. But that was Sevilin and she'd come to accept his way or change it. All in due time of course. "Then I'll gather what I need and move in this afternoon. Or maybe later this evening. Of course I'll need a room for my potions, but I'm sure if you aren't prepared you can always add one on. And you do have a room for Zykariel to sleep? Piper mentioned a nursery in fact..."

"Don't be so quick to jump ship here...I'm not planning on leaving just yet. Give the kid some time to adjust to being in this world and not in there." A point to Zahara's stomach on that one. And of course a raised eyebrow and the 'you're pushing it' look as she seemingly made her little demands to him. Demands never went well with him now did they? "I have plenty of room, thank you very much..." Never knew when you needed an extra room for something in the furture. Crossing his arms lighly then, he personally didn't care what Piper had to say on the issue of children.

Arthur sighed to himself as his feet shuffled on the round he stepped on, the moments of when he was with Laudi kept on coming back to him each time he closed his eye; he couldn't shake it off and he could still feel her body up against his which just made his skin crawl once he remembered it. Sighing a little more heavily this time he was bale to finally make it to his bedroom door, but before he went in his leaned against it, head pressed against the wooden door as exhaustion settled over him slowly; he was emotionally and physically drained and needed to rest for awhile. So slowly he opened his door and walked inside closing it behind him without slamming it or yelling as it closed. Once he was in his own room he went straight to the bathroom and threw up in the toilet only once, he just couldn't hold it in anymore. Then he took a nice hot bad which lasted for two hours as he sat there huddled in the tub with his eyes wide open, never closing so they could never see what had happened back down stairs in the basement. After cleaning himself over and over again Arthur slowly pulled himself out of the tub and dried himself off with a towel, and after checking the marks left by Laudi in the mirror he slowly walked over to his bed and fell onto it, pulling the covers slowly over him as he stared at the ceiling; he was afraid to go to sleep.

"Nothing serious, honest. he'll only be a little mentally scarred. and he certainly deserves it for what he did to you."
Yes, Malik remembered that day to. and yes, malik did hold a grudge. he'd brought up a mental scar for piper..and now, Malik had paid that debt back by giving Arthur a mental scarring of his own. fair trade.

"I thought you weren't going to mentally scar anyone anymore?" Then again...it had been a transgression against her in which she had reacted badly and well...anyone who knew how Malik felt about Piper, knew that anything of that caliber they did to her...they were asking for a torment of some sorts. He didn't take lightly at all the things that upset her. Though at his mentioning of said incident she averted her eyes from him and resisted the urge to touch at her ear, before looking back to him slightly. "And here I though me just ignorning his existance was working fine. But..." Well there was no arguing with him on that now was there? Nope. "Still, I don't want to know." Shifting uncomfortably in her seat a moment...why did being puffy have to be so uncomfortable...

"come here, and lay back on the bed. it's gotta be more comfortable than that chair. and we'll get you a chair that might be more comfortable on you. no sense in making your life anymore stressful or painful than it needs to be."
His voice was soft, and comforting. he didn't mind her yelling he expected it after seeing hormonal Zahara. and osme of those around neriak and other places.
