"Zahara Val'Ril and it's a pleasure to meet you." She caught the look and found herself slightly curious about this Vesendar. She had heard rumors of it, a village really on the eastern side of Pura Peninsula filled with unorthodox drow. Like her. It was tempting to ask him questions about it but she let it go for now. "Simple elf in material possessions only. Any other way simple in no way describes you." She tugged her lower lip between her teeth and then brightened. "I can give you fair payment once I send Arthur home. I can give you fantastic food and even better company in exchange for your nightmare. What do you say Nadai?"

Arthur sighed in relief and closed his eye for a second, at least it all didn't end the way he feared and now he didn't have to worry that much. So he kept on listening to their conversation and with a small smile Arthur was a little happy that the drow only wanted some money, food, a place to stay and some company; thought Arthur was a little worried when he said that latter with his eyes looking at Zahara. Though when Zahara brought up her side of the bargin the surface elf knew it was his time to get up and go, so slowly he stood up and sighed lightly as he brushed off his pants with his hands. "Well then Zahara I will be going then, I'll see you when you come back." He said with a light smile then turned to the other drow and gave a light nod before heading to his steed and mounting it, then with a light nod to Zahara he then took off in a blink of an eye.

"Ah but isn't that the grand thing of it? Simple on one level but not on another...leaves room for so much discovery." Giving a chuckle at that one as he shifted his weight. And he seemed to roll the offer around in his head a bit, a look to the horse then back to her, cracking a grin. "Throw in two thousand steel and I would say you have yourself a deal, he's all yours under those conditions." And then a grin as Arthur made himself scarce without need to. "Well, that makes things easier now doesn't it?"

"Two thousand...make it fifteen hundred and I'll include dessert. I make a mean chocolate three tiered cake, and that's one of my beginning dishes." She glanced back as Arthur decided to leave and shrugged. "He got tired of waiting around." Turning her attention back to Nadai, she put her hands on her hips. "Alright, you'll have to show me your kitchen and we'll have to go through your ingredients and see what you have and what you need and then we'll let it progress as it shall, hmm? Do you agree to the slightly modified price?" She took Nadai's arm looping her hand through his and began walking towards the house, the next few hours already planned out.

She gave him a brilliant smile and nodded. "Why thank you." Ushering him into the house, she began to make well on her deal and then an indeterminable number of hours later, she was back on Arthur's doorstep. Having already taken the newest readdition home and logged him into the breeding list. She was sweaty, disheveled and had a huge grin on her face as she pushed open his door and walked inside. "Arthur, I need your mount back. He's not at Twilight so I assume you rode him here."

The necromancer adn the Illusionist let a look pass between them, the others just stood silent for a time...before the necromancer snapped a finger and the four took to a private discussion. Malik only grinned lightly and shook his head...before the necromancer came forward again.
"Methods of teaching magic in any form is trial and error. one must expect mistakes and the consequences of them. Our methods differ from teh rune mage. we teach the proper usage of word, and symbols. and let the student work them until they are done right and they get the desired result. mostly in necromancy, cadavers are used to experiment and learn on."
"However, with this being your toddler, certain adjustments can be made. we can setup an area so that only the proper wording nad usage gets any result. Though I cannot vouch for the usage of materials the other schools will be using."
the mage spoke first.
"I use simple targets, like your archery. some enchantments to let them fly or move about on thier own, but nothing dangerous and nothing the bites back."
then the conjurer.
"I use my own summoned elementals as targets or for research purposes."
then the illusionist.
"I use slaves and other servants. though only those I ma given permission to use in such studies."
the cleric was a bit..confused at the sudden change in Warhammer's attitude. he seemed a bit..upset. but she went to the necromancers and talked with them, and they seemed to only haphazardly listen, before the older one shrugged and they all three melted into shadows and left.
Onyx only glared at Zell.
"One time, Zell. roarke will not be here to enforce his rules. He won't be your excuse anymore. And when that day comes, you'd best be prepared to pay the piper for your insults and slanders."

Well as for Arthur he rode his mount to his place and had made something to eat for himself then went on to train for a little while before sitting down to read his book. When a few hours had gone by his rune suddenly activated which allowed him to know that Zahara was now at his house. Though before he could even go to the door it was opened by the visitor herself and she walked inside asking him to giver her the mount back that he was using. Getting up slowly from his seat Arthur placed his book back on his bookcase and walked over to the drow. When he came close to her he paused for a second to take in Zahara's appearance and the gears in his head began to turn slowly. "Wow you look...lovely don't ya mela?" He asked, that care free look he had on his face was now gone replaced with a more 'what did she do?' look as if he had caught her sleeping with someone so inside his head he began to wonder just what did she do with that drow once he left her there. "You said you wanted your nightmare back right? well come with me." He said and with a motion of his hand he lead Zahara back outside to where he placed the nightmare he rode with her to the river, all it was doing was standing there near a tree with it's reins tied to a branch .

She merely crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at this little apparent display of who 'was the boss' and idly played with the beading on her surcoat as they conversed amongst themselves before they decided they were ready to share. It was kind of amusing how she could get them to have to do that. Also interesting how they had to do it together rather than alone off the top of thier heads. And she looked like she was thinking a moment and then pointed at the necromancer. "You, ringleader, I've decided I don't like. So you can just go back to the scary mysterious basement." Her look turning on Malik. "If anyone is teaching that boy necromancy, you can do it." Holding up a hand at him before he pulled the 'I don't know everything' thing, "and if you want to teach him things that you don't know yourself to well then we'll come to that when we do." And enough said on that, right? Okay then, scrutiny back to the others. A point to each in turn, starting with who decided to open thier mouth first. "Pass, pass, you're on the fence." A look back to Malik. "Care to play again?" Damn she was being brutal in a frighteningly optimistic and peppy way."
By this point, the boys retired from Ashlyn after she had decided she had had enough of them and had rolled over and more or less had gone to sleep on the nursery floor and left them to thier own devices. Which lead to city building with blocks and well, knocking it all down again and so on and so forth.

Zykariel grabbed another block and stacked it on top of the already towering skyscraper in the middle of the city. "Rawr can be the dragon who's knocking them down, Malikhai. Do you want to be him?" He stood up and walked over to the chair, grabbing his pet dragon and bringing him back to show his friend. "You can destroy the whole city and I'll be the outraged mage who tries to stop you."
She chuckled, "I wouldn't think so considering what I've been doing the past few hours but thanks anyway." Nope she wasn't paying enough attention to Arthur to notice that he was less than ecstatic. Heading outside, she saw the zephmare tied up and walked over to him, untying him gently and giving him a sugar cube. "I bet you're ready to go home sweetie aren't you? Tired of hanging out here all day and wishing for your warm stall. Well we'll be there in a matter of moments." Turning back, lead rope in hand, she glanced at Arthur. "Something wrong?"

Arthur blinked a few times as he listened to Zahara's words, but just what did she mean by that? It's obvious that something else than making him some food went on when he left her with that drow, and it did upset him that she would be doing this but he had no proof or didn't see anything os could he be wrong? at the beginning when they start having their own intimate moments together Arthur still had that feeling that Zahara was sleeping with Sevilin but after awhile shrugged it off, it wasn't right to dive into someone's personal matters. But still it nagged in the back of his head, did she sleep with that drow for that nightmare? Just thinking about it made Arthur a bit sick. When he heard Zahara's voice the surface elf blinked a few times as he looked at her, her outward appearance looked exactly when they finished spending their own time together but...Arthur shook his head lightly and sighed, pushing all the thoughts to the back of his head but when he looked back at the drow in front of him but he was still upset and it showed on his face. "It's nothing big I made have ate something that made my stomach upset, don't worry about it Zahara."

"If looks coudl kill, that necromancer woudl be facing a pissed Malik right now, before he simply scoffed and faded into shadow. the other two in teh middle looked at eachother and shrugged. well. okay. the illusionist, she actually had a scoffing look as if she was offended to be 'on the fence' by someone who had no idea about her skills.
But Malik shrugged lightly.
"I don't have any other magic types but clerics around here."

She gave a sugar cube to the zephmare and stood there behind the house, scratching his nose lightly. She was slightly concerned about Arthur, stomachaches were never good things. And like she always seemed to have when it was need most, a vial popped up. "Here, drink this, it will cure that ache of yours and you'll be as good as new, right?" Had to have him in fine shape, especially if Malik was planning on training him later today. Okay that problem was solved, onto the next one. "Are you coming to Twilight with me, later, or not at all?"

"Okay I'll be Rawr." And he put out a hand to take the dragon rather gently. He knew it meant a lot to his friend and was always careful when he played with him. He was soft and what not after all. Thus with dragon in hand he walked to his end of thier little block city and promptly came the dragon noises and the destroying of block towers.
"I know that dear." Yes she thought it was highly amusing that she was even getting away with this at all. Very amusing also that they had to technically listen to her and deal with her. But hey, they weren't going to be dealing with just anyone and therefore if they wanted the 'honored position' then they had to deal with mommy dearest. And at that look from the illusionist was only met with Piper's 'go on, try me' look. "Watch exactly what you teach and how to do it and you can be off the fence. But do not try to test my resovle. In fact that goes for every one of you." And a look back to Malik. "I'm done pissing off your staff now."

Arthur watched Zahara cautiously, the gears in his head still turning about the theories that were jumping up at him and that nagging voice in the back of his head was really bugging him. Though when Zahara handed him a vial for stomachaches and told him that he would feel good once he took it. "Thanks Zahara...I'll take it a little later." He said as he slipped in his pocket, then with a slight pause Arthur turned his head back in the direction of the fortress and sighed a little. "I don't think I'll be going to Twilight today, I might stay home for the remainder of today so you can drop by if you like." But inside Arthur hoped that today would be another day she wouldn't come, he didn't want to be bothered with her right now with all the ideas and images that are in his head. So he turned his attention back towards her and gave a slight nod of his head. "I'll see you later then Zahara." He said and with a tiny smile on his face he left her there and went back inside his home.
