Zykariel tilted his head and studied Eliot for a moment. Surprising her had made her cheeks go red? Okay, he'd accept that but there would be questions for Daddy later. Then he too got excited when she said she had a trick to show them. They'd seen quite a few tricks today, now hadn't they? Hers must be done by magic.
A gasp. "Can you teach me how to do that?" Just think if he could get a nose like Nym. He wiggled his own, twitching it lightly, pretending that he had Nym's nose already. "That's really neat."
"Why would you think that Arthur? It's not even the normal time I reverie. It's actually pretty early, just about dinner time if I'm correct." She shifted once more, getting slightly more comfortable as she mulled over his response. "Riding is fine. When did you want to do it?" Before glancing up at Sevilin. "Are you working tomorrow or taking the day off?"

Arthur blinked a few times, if it's dinner time the he must of lost himself in that book he was reading, but with Zahara how could she be so tired from making dinner? Blinking a few times then shaking his head lightly Arthur now sounded more comfortable since the tone in Zahara's voice had change from annoyed to soft. "Oh it's dinner time?" He paused for a moment and when he said. "I must of read to long..." it was barely heard as if he was looking back towards the living room, though a moment later his voice came back with a strong sense of confidence behind it. "Well I was thinking around lunch time? I could bring us something to eat, just tell me what you want I probably have it." Hey might as well make this a small picnic just for the fun of it, and this time he would prepare the food not Zahara; there has been one too many times where the drow prepared Arthur really good food and he would do nothing in return expect what happened after they ate, might as well do both.

"Not your buisness to know about how her pregnancy went, Warren."
A bit of a narrowing of eyes. He was up to something more than just a little visit to 'repay stress'. though a look at Eliot's antics.
"you realize now that they are never going to let you alone till they figure out how you do that."
Though mussing up his son's hair some.
"and pull your hood down, Warren. you know some consider it to be rude...or suspicious...to cover most of your face."
Onyx grinned lightly.
"Well...sometimes things need to be taken care of a bit quickly. you still up for that da...I mean..outing to see that play? Or you wanna try for tomorrow night?"

Was this eavesdropping? If she had left the room then it would of been, but she was staying put now wasn't she? Though he had turned both eyes to stare at the ceiling right now, breifly contemplating that he should scrub it...hm. But they angled back down to Zahara then at her question to him. "Doesn't matter if I am or not. I'll just take Zykariel with me, you know he'd enjoy it, or I'll just...have Piper watch him. Leave him with Malikhai for a while to play more." She only asked that question in reference to 'what is going to be done with Zykariel, do you need me to babysit?'.

He clapped his hands together and smiled. "Wonderful, really wonderful. I'm very pleased to hear that things are going well."
Not his buisness? Malik didn't know the hlaf of it, but he wasn't going to argue. He wasn't being very secretive was he? "I was simply inquiring, Malik. There is no need to be cross. General concern you know."
He placed one hand over his hood, holding it down over his eyes. "I would rather not, if you don't mind. I'm not suspicious, although I suppose i can't help being rude."
Aella shrugged. "I guess so. It's too early to go to bed, otherwise I'll be up before morning." She stretched. "Can't promiss I won't fall asleep during Romeo's p***y speach."

Eliot smiled at Malik. "But its so much fun!" She turned her smiled once again to the boys. 'Sorry guys this is is one trick I can't teach anyone. My whol pack can do it. I can change my whole body into a wolf."
She looked at Warren with fond eyes. "I thought the hood look rather dashing." Sh eput a finger to he rlip, "Suspicouse never really occured to me..." She turned once again to Malikhai and Zykariel, "Would you like to learn the words for 'father' and 'mother'?"

"You have to learn to control yourself sometime. you can't always hide your eyes or refuse to touch someone. I know what happens when a diety touches someone, and I have seen the Avatars of many."
Leaning back some.
"what are so worried about? afriad I'm going to confess things you'd rather not hear? or burst into flames? struck by lightning?"
A lean forward.
"Or is it not me your concerned about."
Onyx smirked.
"I'll just nudge you in the gut to wake you up. Well then, nice to see you rusty, hoep everything goes well, if you decided to stay don't let teh elves scare you, or those damned dogs...and Lets go to the show, Aella!"
Offering her an arm. Hey he did have some gentlemenly manners.

A little giggle as his father messed his hair and he got proest before the child went about trying to fic it before he He was absentmindedly tugging at his mother's tunic again as his friend was being explained to about blushing. "Dragons." And he only stopped when triple colored eyes on him and he got nod and that be patient look. Okay he'd be patient. Thus his attention turned back to Eliot, his father was right...they probably wouldn't leave it alone for a while.
A little pout at being told they couldn't do it. "If we were part of your pack could we do it?" Because the fact that they were wolf kin didn't translate...after all, he had no idea what a wolf kin was. Though you could tell he thought it was just neat to be able to do that...not that he had ever seen a live wolf before so he wasn't really missing out on too much. A look to his friend and then a nod to Eliot. Oh yes, that would be fun to learn wouldn't it?
Another look to Malik up from thier son as he continued on his protective streak that was laced with suspicion. Then her look went to Eliot. "Careful, you may turn yourself into a play thing for them." Looking away from them all for a moment before giving a whistle, a few moments later, out came trotting the two coq dragons who came to sit around her feet with thier little noises and movements, both turning thier heads to look at Warren and Eliot, then at the children. She however turned her attention back to Eliot and the boys. Teaching them to speak wolf...oh what a useful yet probably annoying at time skill. Though she had learned to deal with that.

Eliot laughed. "That's okay. I miss being able to interact with the children back home, most were killed by slavers adn those that servived are now grown up and learning from Roarke. Wolf pups tend to see everything as a toy, so I'm used to it... adn I enjoy it." She turned to the boys once more. She blew air from her nose and air through her volcal chords at the same time. It amlost soudned like an odd sneeze. "That is the word For 'father'" She then did the same thing but changed the amount of air passing over her vocal chords to make a sort of grunt. "That would be the word for 'mother'"
She slowly alowed her wolf ears to come out and wiggle back and forth as she talked.

A little smile, and an embarresed chucled for Eliot. "Awe."
"Really, you have me all wrong, Malik. When have I ever been so powerful, eh?" Toothy grin. Nope, wasn't getting any answers like that out of him. Yeah, Warren had more guts now.
"But unfortuantly, I am concerned about you. You, your wife, your son." He spread his arms in happy gesture, 'everybody!"
"How you been, Malik? Stomach feeling all right? There were parasites in the water last week," he chuckled. "Kinda forgot about the counteracting bio-organizims. What were they called? Para something."
He smiled and watched the dragon's as they came buy, and since they were a near direct by-product of his mother, he hoped they wouldn't recognize him. And if they did, then they wouldn't do anything to indicate that fact.
She sighed, and took the arm, forcing back some of her fear. High time she got over that, tohugh she was starting to wish she hadn't taken off her face veil. "Lead the way."

Nope, that didn't make him happy to hear that he couldn't do it. "Are you sure? We were told there were lots of things that we could learn to do downstairs. Why isn't this one of them?" If they could make fireballs and monsters out of different things, then why couldn't they turn into wolves? Everything was magical right? At least that's the way he saw it. His mother used magic, his father used magic, he had magic, so why couldn't he learn how to be a wolf?
He glanced at the coq dragons and grinned, waving to them before looking back to Eliot. "If you want to teach us. We like to learn, don't we Khai?" Thus he went about learning, repeating sounds quite cutely in fact. Though he wasn't sure why she was talking about slavers. He'd read some things about them and they weren't fun. Not very nice either. More questions for Daddy.
Zahara nodded to Sevilin. "I can still watch him in the morning if you'd like. Lunch would be the only thing that I wouldn't be able to do with him. I told you before it was no trouble, no trouble at all." She turned her attention back to the crystal in her hand and frowned at it. Why was Arthur bringing the food? Did he not like her cooking? She always cooked when she was with him at meal times. Same way it went in the Inthara household. She was the official food maker. "...okay, if that's what you want..." It was hard to know how to feel about that. "Noon then."

Arthur blinked a few times at the sound of Zahara's voice, did she sound a little hurt by his offer to bring the food? Or was she confused? Well one thing is for certain Arthur probably made a bad choice on that. "Well it's that you always cook for me, and I love your food you know? But for a change how bout you be the one to relax while I bring the food? So that way you can enjoy our picnic while we spend the afternoon together." There at least he could explain himself, though he would now have to start thinking of what should be bring tomorrow. "Anyways I must go now, need to make my own dinner for tonight, I'll see you around noon tomorrow, later Zahara." And after waiting for her reply Arthur ended the link and placed the crystal back in the bag. "Now what should I bring?" he asked himself as he wandered out of the room and to his pantry.

Eliot thought for a moment. It probably wasn't her place to tell children they couldn't do something. "Well... I don't understand how i do it very well, because i was born with the ability I never had to learn it. And so i don't know how to teach it to you. But how about this... when you learn more and more about magic, I'll come back and see if maybe I can describe to you how to do it?"
Her tail was now swishing about.
"Okay here's the word for cookie!" She proceeded to make more wolf-like sounds.

Hm, okay, so maybe Warren was acting a little eccentric...or drunk. One of the two, but she didn't say anything to that now was she. A look down at the dragons and a whistle to get them to look up at her, and then a nod to the children. They were used to playing with them after all...long as they didn't get pulled on. Thus they padded to the boys, one on each side, making noises at them and pretty much ignoring anyone else.
"Learning is fun...you can do lots of stuff after it." Malikhai took a moment to pet at Circa who was on his side, and then looked back to Eliot, ears twitching again as his little mind worked out the sound and how to process it. Thus after a moment of thinking and trying a few different little breaks and what not, he managed to again mimick the sounds quite nicely. Still rough around the edges, but good for first tries on it. Thus a pleased little giggle, rubbing at his nose seeing as it tickled some from the breathing oddly.
Though another smile as her ears appaered and wiggled. Hey those were funny ears. And then another surprised look when a tail was swishing. She was changing right there in front of them! Well wasn't that neat. And then a broad smile as she said the magic word. "Cookie!" Proceeding to mimick that as well.
"Don't worry about it, I have him. You do your own thing." Bringing his hand to rub at his ears some, the elven features twitching lightly before he ran a hand back through his hair and settled once more.

"You weren't before. but now you are the physial will of a diety in teh underdark. that increases your power quite signifigantly. Your concern about me isn't about little things like stomach aches. as a Tier'dal, you should be well aware that very little can adversely affect me that is natural to this enviroment. While I do applaud your concern for the rest of my family."
Running a hand through his hair.
"Or is this something related to the Oracle's telling that if myself or Piper fall, the plane goes with us? did this little trait somehow get transfered into our children as well?"
Elves didn't forget. and that was a concern that was quite important. if this trait had been passed on for some reason, it needed to be known about.
"And why haven't you gotten that orb back yet? I have trade agreements rotting away thanks to whomever was playing russian roulette with a water god."
Onyx hoped this aent thing was going to work...but pated her hand reassuringly, he knew this wasn't easy for her. but led her down the street, and through a couple of side strets to the theater house, giving two tickets and getting them decent seats, mostly with slight lip curls and predatory looks.
His tail didn't like behaving, but his other hand held it and spun it a bit trying to make it look like he really wasn't trying to keep it from attempting to grope Aella.
