Fianna shook her head lightly and gave back her own smile to Malik before looking back to Kieran. “That girl is just as ambitious as you…be it on a different level, but still none the less. It’s no wonder she gets herself into so much trouble.” And a look back to Malik then. “I suppose that it’s alright now,” giving him a smirk, “unless you are reluctant to relinquish him of course.” What? It wasn’t hard to see how Malik was enamored with his son to no end.
((And time jump for our side, to three days later but falling in line with what Mandos and Din are doing, so that can continue and thus we're all on the same time line and we all win. Yay.))
It was way too early in the morning to be up…but she was up now wasn’t she? Indeed. But Malikhai dictated her to be so because he was hungry, and so she was and giving no fuss about being up so early. Just sitting there in her now proclaimed favorite chair nursing Malikhai and trying to more or less keep from going back to reverie. Boy she thought being pregnant was a disruption in the pattern she’d formed…this by far was more trying. Besides it was an odd sensation being pulled from reverie from bond tugging, but she was quite used to it by now and was happy to oblige the child. Thus she was just sitting there then in the early morning hours across from the bed where Malik was still in reverie, she was back to getting up before him anyway by this point, nursing her son and humming softly, planning some thing her head as well.
Sevilin, ever the early riser, was back in the manor of the now procalimed Twilight Lands that had so much building and work going up on the surrounding areas. After all, he had lessons to give now didn't he? Though Sevilin didn't look at all in the condition for lessons, but he was going to give them. He looked worn and weary, exasperated and almost at his wits end.
Why? Zykariel that was why. He hadn't been a happy baby since Zahara had moved ouy, the woman being a constant in his life and now that she was gone, he was missing her and confused on where she was. Sevilin knew it too and knew exactly why he was upset. Zahara had a different body feel, she was softer as was her voice and the color of her eyes, her gate was different when she walked as well. Meant a lot of fussy feeding session and late nice pacing with child in arms, trying to soothe him into a reverie.
Currently he was setting Zykariel down in a crib in the free for use nursery, the child having finally fallen into reverie much to Sevilin's relief, the little guy needed it. This was hard for Sevilin as well...his brothers, much like he had been when he was a baby, had learned not to cry and not to whine, take what was given and never ask. Zykariel was opposite of that and Sevilin had learned now that babies were quite demanding."Nym, watch him for me." Of course, Sevilin didn't get two steps away before the crying started and he returned to the crib, picking his son back up in order to soothe him.

The little rat, well he was cleaning out someone's jewelry boxes. lots of pretty stones. and some coin. not much, but hey. that candlestick looks nice. we'll take that too. and hefting the little bag he'd made out of a pillowcase, silk one too..started to sneek out of the room, whiskers twitching, and scooting around into other rooms.
Malik had been working all day every day the past three. they had several homes up, one forge made, and a bakery and brewery. renfocred walling on the mountainous areas, and tunnel construction underwya with Kieran's help. and he was hoping that Laudi woudl get a roost going soon with eggs.
Arthur...well he was getting better. still needed a lot of work though. and he was going to ut him through the wringer again this time. physically and psycologically.
Onyx was back home, but laying on a couch in his own little mostly under the main floor cept for the entry stairs den of sorts. he hadn't talked to Aella in a few days, she seemed to be a bit cooler toward him since he made that one comment. Well what did people do to make up for that...that's right, presents. all girls love presents. So onyx was tinkering. Did you know demonic energy applied to blood coudl make rubies? which ment Onyx was getting woozy, before passing out from a bleeding hand and a pile of gemstones.

The kid sure had an appetite that was for sure. But that was a good thing right? Thusly she didn't complain about anything,merely let him have his fill. However, she could never sit still for long as was her nature, so she adjusted her hold on him so he wouldn't be distrubed from his nursing as she got herself up, pacing a line in the room a moment before taking to glancing out the window with a smile, then over to Malik then back out the window. She was proud of him, really she was. Things had indeed changed with him, and by no means had those changes been forced. In a year she had seen him take quite the number of steps in a less stressful direction. Let's see...what else did she have to do today?
"I may do it for him...and he better appreciate it too, seeing as the stress it's going to cause me. Like I said these games are not to be taken lightly. And I refuse to do it until Malikhai is a bit older...Malik doesn't need to be inviting that kind of rumor to spread and perhaps have less than welcome outcomes with a new baby in the house. Not to mention Piper would be all to pieces with worry and what not."
"I think that's a reasonable compromise and that he would be quick to agree." Petting at Raziel's wings as the little faerie was once again on his shoulder, he was kind of dozing. "After all, we both know how important family is to Malik. He certinally wouldn't want to do anything that would upset Piper or Malikhai, or anything that causes a rush of actions and such to be done so soon after you're going to have to stay down for a bit."

Zahara expected the being yanked out of bed by her ankles thing but it didn't come. Then again it was just now dark and early, so maybe he just hadn't gotten down to the point where he had come in to do it yet. In fact, she almost wondered if she jumped out of bed now if she might run into the man in the hallway. She shoved off the covers and jumped out of bed, ran to her closet and dressed rather quickly then out into the hallway with her. Empty. Well...that was a letdown and a half now wasn't it? Her ears twitched at the sound of a baby's cry and she blinked for a moment. Malikhai never cried...that meant Zykariel was around. Thus down to the nursery and she found just the man she was looking for. Walking in she snatched Zykariel from him and lifted him to her shoulder, rubbing at his back lightly then sat down in one of the chairs. She watched Sev for a moment then moved the baby to nestle in her arms. "I've decided you need a nickname."

Sevilin more or less just blinked as his son was more or less snatched from him and moved into different arms, a different person giving the child comfort. Was it a little wrong to feel a tad bit relieved that the child did indeed calm some and stopped his crying? Perhaps. He gave an exasperated sigh and ran a hand trrough his hair, before looking to her with a raised eyebrow.
He should take Zykariel back...he shouldn't let the child think that Zahara was going to be there if he screamed and cried long enough. He was just letting the child think that. But he really didn't want to tear the child from the comfort he had just found...well maybe he'd go off into reverie...then he wouldn't have to worry...he could put Zykariel down for a few hours and then when he woke up, Zahara wouldn't be there and Sevilin wouldn't have to worry about it. Sounded like a plan.
"I need a nickname? Why?"

She'd been expecting this question for a second and she lifted the baby in her arms and met his gaze. "You know you have a very stubborn father? He can't just say, 'okay Zahara' or 'what did you have in mind?' No. He has to question it." She smiled at the baby then settled him on her lap once again. "Because Sevilin, everyone else has one and I think you need one too. I assume Sweetheart is no longer an insult so that would be mine. Malik and Piper call each other a'mael and chev respectively, and Arthur is Galesen. So that leaves you and frankly Sev Sev just doesn't cut it. So I'm thinking of other nicknames for you. You are forewarned." Pausing for a moment, she grinned. "Shadow." Then as though she hadn't spoken, she returned her attention to the babe in her arms, bounced him lightly then grinned, "You need one too. How about Kariel?"

He blinked...and then gave a noise of affirmation, running his hand through his hair again as he watched her interact with Zykariel who was more than happy to indulge her in her attention giving. After all, he had thought she had disappeared into thin air. "And she's suddenly on a nick naming spree...right."
A little shake of his head, and he didn't say anything about her nick naming Zykariel either. He knew his name by now, shortening it wasn't going to make him what he knew. "Alright, I'm forewarned...you want to put him down in the crib so he can get some reverie and we can do lessons?"
Then another blink and a raise of an eyebrow. "Shadow?" Oh lord he was going to be pinned with something he wasn't going to like wasn't he?

Malik sat himself up, stretching lightly and running a hand through his hair, before looking over to Piper.
"Good morning you two."
Before swinging his feet over the side of the bed and getting up to get dressed.
"We need to get a tailoring shop setup. more supplies will help growth. but how are you doing this morning?"

"Slow down there Malik or you might give yourself whip lash if you move too fast." Giving him a little chuckle and a look over her shoulder with a smile. "Morning A'mael." It was amusing to her when he was Mr. Jump Out of Bed and Go....and yes she would mess with him about that because she could. "Tailoring shop, that's an interesting epiphany you'd had but it does make sense." Looking down to thier son as he was finishing up which of course meant a shift of him in her hold so she could pull her top back up, though she left the lacings undone for now. Of course then laying Malikhai against her shoulder, patting lightly at his back. "He is quite the happy and full little elf, squirmy as usual, and I am quite content, if not a little worn. But that's the life of a wife and mother, yes? I see you're quite ready to get back to your empire building though."

A sly little look over at her.
"Oh? now, if you have something to occupy me with, I'd be more than happy to put building on hold. besides, those already out there can do the job."
A small grin, walking over and giving her a long kiss, and becuase he could, snatching Malikhai from her and holding him up a bit.
"Lively and squirming, just like you should be."
rocking his son just a bit and looking over at Piper, and noting her unlaced top. boy those thoughts were quick, weren't they.
"So..why didn't you tell me about your little sister?"

Roarke bent down and picked Onyx up off the floor. "Why do you look like you've lost a lot of blood, my furry feline friend?" He helped him into a sitting position, which was much like manuvering a drunk man. Only with feathers.
The sound of three dogs growling sounded behind the rat-man.

"What if I just wanted to make you sit around so I could look at you all day, would that count?" Of course that little joking teasing tone lacing her voice. The voiced though on the matter of course didn't match the internal ones. Especially when he had to walk over and kiss her, to which she merely indulged in because she could and hell it was a nice feeling...especially after feeling fat and undesireable for a while. Though a blink before a smile as he snatched Malikhai...yes Malik had the makings of a wonderful father in him. With a little content sigh she ran a hand through her hair, mixing up red and silvery white, though then they came to that subject. "I was waiting for the right time? Besides...I don't even know her. Haven't met her or anything, just heard of her...apparently my father's need to have things well lead to him taking her in. Just so happens that that can solve his little heir problem, if we pass on Andal, and of course if she wants it." Giving a little shrug. "Guess I wasn't used to the idea of having a sister yet either. I wasn't going to keep it from you."
Of course upon being weasled from his mother he took a moment to blink at Malik before a smile and squirming, kicking his feet in the air as he was held up and talked to. Daddy! Where have you been? Taking to sucking on his thumb as he was then being rocked and more or less reaching a hand up and laying it against Malik's chest, where normally he would be able to reach up and touch his fingers to Piper's collar. Apparently daddy didn't wear the pretty dangly shiny thing. But that was okay, thus noises of happy.

"ah. well I agreed to taking her in down here for a bit. though I did but in the mental damamge disclaimer. Don't want to get yelled at if she gets mentally scarred by what she might see down here."
A chuckle.
"I coudl sit around all day, no problem if you just want to stare at me. woudl you prefer me clothed or naked? and what are your plans for today, 'chev?"

Another grin as Zykariel gave a happy smile. He was getting cuter and cuter every time she saw him. She glanced up at Sevilin and then shook her head. "No, I don't think Shadow quite does it. But don't worry, I'll find one for you." She glanced down at Zykariel once again and nibbled on her bottom lip, then tilted her head at the baby. "I don't think you really want to reverie yet do you? Nope. Didn't think so, but your dad's the boss so down you go." Thus she stood up and lifted Zykariel to her shoulder then supporting his head and bottom, gently laid him down in the crib, settling blankets and whatnot around him. "Be a good boy and get some reverie. You look like you could use it." Brushing her hand through his hair lightly then a glance back at Sevilin. "Sure thing, Sevy. Let's go." Calmly she headed out the door and downstairs.
