Oh look at the excitment. "I suppose...if you're going to get up dark and early." The boy was up anyway, not like it would be any different. "But dont' cause any trouble, okay?" Ruffling his hair again and then looking to Piper. "Sure, he can be yours for the night." And there was no need to pack the boy up for the night or anything, he had some clothes here already considering the amount of time he spent over here.
Piper gave a nod. Besides, she had the feeling that Zahara was now going to rant about something and Zykariel didn't need to hear that. Not that she was going to tell Sevilin that she had more or less caused it. No that was going to be saved for Malik when she would worry about it. "Good then, everyone is happy."
And it worked like a charm. Which merely led to him rocking on his heels once and giving a pleased smile with a giggle. "Really? Thank you Broog!" He was getting good...well with anyone who didn't know his tricks already. Though a look over to Malik at his little piece of information. A look at the chest, then dad, then the chest then back at dad. "I can do it!" That little defiant and condfient tone before he pushed it closed and then walked around it and braced his hands on it...and took to trying to push it across the stone floor, probably only getting three inches of movement in five minutes, it was pretty heavy. But he showed no signs of giving up anytime soon. Stubborn. Just needed to get a good forward movement going and he'd be fine or at least he thought so.

Meilikki was in her private potions making room, puzzling over a few things, wringing her hands in her apron for no other reason than to keep them busy. Onyx found her there of course, because he could easily smell her.
"Ah, hello Onyx. Is there something I can do for you?" She had laid down strict rules before that anyone in this room was not to touch anything, they could upset some kind of experiment or work in progress. It was a painful night for the first one who disobeyed that rule.
Warren and Eliot had been cruising on the cloud. Warren taking his sweet time and going the senic rout. Why? Let's just say he rarely had all this free time. "Ah look, there is the fortress ahead of us already."
Aella stayed with Moon, chatting with him a bit s he tried to make Rusty comfortable. Whirlwind did not think it was easy to move such a big creature.

Onyx grinned lightly.
"There's a new guest...sleeping in the main room. Name is Rusty, and they are...feline. nto a vah...but close. We thought you might wanna be introduced."
then a look around, and a little grin.
"I been working on something, to try and get Aella to be more relaxed around me...kinda a cologne or a perfume type thing of the smells that she is comfortable around. any suggestions or visions on how to test it and it's effectiveness?"

Lost deep in a dream Rusty didn't know about his passing out nor did he currently remember of the day's events. To him it was as if nothing had changed.
Rusty always knew when he was dreaming and he usually remembered exactly where he had fell asleep and what had happened that day. His caretakers would never believe him when he said he was in full control of his acts, thoughts and feelings in his dreams. To him a dream felt like reality except he knew it wasn't real. Especially since most of the things he dreamt of wasn't even real or at least he'd never seen such things outside his dreams.
In this particular dream was laying in a very green grassy field looking up at the night sky which he thought was just a very dark blue roof with lights and a very big light casting down on the odd ground. It wasn't the first time he dreams of this odd place. A odd looking house was behind him which somehow looked familiar.
Rusty had been staring at the sky for what seemed a very long time when he suddenly heard voices that seemed to be floating from another dimension. A groan could be heard from his slowly waking up body as he shifted a tiny bit. The beautiful landscape gradually dissapeared before his eyes as he switched back to reality. His eyes slided open and he blinked a few times.
Rusty was completly lost. He didn't know where he was nor how he got there. He took a quick look around him and noticed Moonstone and his memories of this day came surging back to him as if he was hit by a lightning bolt. "Where... am I? How did I get here? Did I pass out?" He had a very confused look in his eyes and also a look of doubt.

Meilikki nodded, untieing her apron and leading the way out the door. "Certainly, thank you."
"A calogne? Are you messing with pheramones, or just regualr scents?" She gave him a curious, wary eye. "I won't help you if your dabbling with the pheramones. Those things can have unpredicted effects on their subjects. We just don't have the technology to study those right now."
"Well good aftertide, friend. You are in Meilikki's manor, the public and private house of Honoursfeild. I dragged you the rest of the way here. Yeah, you've lost too much blood. Soon we'll get a potion for you to help clear that up." He smiled.
"In case you missed the introduction, this here is Aella. Close friend of the residence in the home."
Aella waved and tried to look welcoming.

Zykariel nodded sagely and grinned, "I'll be on my best behavior, I absolutely promise." He hugged his father again and then turned to Piper. "Is Khai busy with his daddy still Miss Piper? It's okay if he is, 'cause I can spend some more time with Daddy since he'll be lonely without me tonight." A tilt of his head at Sevilin. "Make sure you sleep with Zara tonight, Daddy. That way you won't be all alone in your big bed, since I won't be there. And keep Nym company too." Then he had a thought. "Should I send Rawr home with you so he can guard my bed with Nym or keep him here with me?"

Rusty blinked, looked up to see the one called Aella and then waved back. He reluctantly sat up. Realizing how much better he felt a smile came across his face.
"Did... you tell her who I was?" he asked Moonstone while turning his attention towards him and stretched a little bit to wake up his tired slightly aching muscles.

"Malikhai is still with his father downstairs, yes." Giving a little chuckle and a smile as Zykariel went on to say that Sevilin was just going to be oh so lonely without him. How cute indeed. So for now she merely turned from the library, making her way out, only to be intercepted by Keely who had a letter with her bearing an Andalian crest. Oh look, mail from home.
"Good because you know I always want you on your best behavior." Ruffling the boy's hair once more before holding back a chuckle and a roll of his eyes. "Alright I will, I'm sure she and Nym will keep me company, though of course nothing can replace you." Giving the boy a squeeze before a poke to his ribs. "Keep Rawr with you, after all...he won't talk to anyone else."

Malik was letting his son push that chest a little at a time, until finally he gave a chuckle and hefted it up over his shoulder.
"If you want, Broog can put your armor on, and we'll go back upstairs and you can play some more with Zykariel"
Onyx shook his head.
"Nope, not pheremones. I heard the stories from mom and the other ladies from home about Dad. nope, not messing with those. just scents. I kinda...confiscated stuff that Aella let go off, and tried to distill the different scents from hers and get the most common ones and blend them together. I figure shes aroudn these smells alot, they will help her relax when she's nervous."
But hey look, the other feline was awake now.
"Hey there Rusty. finally awake I see. here's Meilikki, aka, the Oracle."

He was doing a good job, a slow but good job. Of course he wasn't sure how he was going to negotiate the stairs, but he'd cross that bridge when he came to it. For now it was slow and steady determined pushing across the floor. Though then it seemed he was being given a reprieve as Malik decided that he had shown enough determination on the issue. "Not right now, we're playing pirates, pirates don't need armor." Little hand latching to his father's pant leg in commonplace action. "What about Arthur?"

That got a giggle and a squirm as he shoved much bigger hands away. "Daddy!" But he was laughing as he said it before sobering and thinking for a moment. Was there anything else hsi dad needed to know before he could leave him? He took on that deep, contemplative look, leaning his elbow on his knee and propping his chin in his palm. But after a moment he turned and looked at him and nodded. "I don't know why he wont' talk to anyone else. Khai asked me that today too. I think he's just shy."

A grin to his son.
"Well, Arthur is in for a 'treat' today too. hopefully he's lossened himself up enough while we were here to be ready for it. you want to watch that before you go upstairs to play with Zykariel?"
while they were nearing the arena, which got Malik to stop and take a good look at what was going on down there at the moment.

"Maybe it is just that or maybe he just doesn't want to talk to the rest of us. He is your dragon after all." Giving a little chuckle all the while as he son tried to fend him off and then try to look serious in his thinking a moment later. "Or maybe you're the only one who can hear him because he whispers." Who knew why the boy made the dragon 'talk'. Though Sevilin didn't see a need to mention anything on it, what was the harm?
A nod up to his father. Well of course he wanted he watch, he always wanted to watch. Often either Malik or Piper would tell him no though. After all he was a toddler, he didn't need to see people bashing each other around all day, besides, Malik had that extreme need to not let his son is a rather negative side he didn't want him to see in the first place. "How come you're teaching Arthur?"

"No he talks really loud sometimes. Sometimes he yells." Then his voice dropped to a whisper and he curved his hand around Sevilin's ear and said in a somewhat loud, whisper, "I don't think he ever learned how to whisper." He shrugged, "I dunno but I'm sure he's got a good reason." Then he brightened and slipped off his father's lap. "I gots something to show you, Daddy. Don't move."
Running over to the shelves, he began to scan them, searching for a particular book. He and Khai had found it earlier and been quite mesmerized by some of the pictures in it. Finally he located it again. Bound in leather, it was a deep red color and he toddled back over and climbed back up into Sevilin's lap. "Lookit what we found." He snuggled back against his chest and opened the book pointing to the pirate flag. "See? All about pirates. It's even got wrenches in here!" Thus flipping to that page and showing Sevilin.

He squinted a little...someone else hadn't really learned how to whisper either, but he thought he was whispering. "I'm sure he does. After all, dragons aren't stupid now are they?" Then a little blink as his son slipped down and told him to stay put as he ran off to fetch something, the boy coming back with a red leather bound book and resuming his place where he had been before, opening the book. Oh look it had pictures.
"Wenches." Sevilin himself flipped through the pages some, scanning them, catching some words, glancing at pictures. Hm...well this book was a tad on the graphic side now wasn't it? "And how much of this have you read?"
