He made that grunt of an answer that could mean anything when it was given to her short statement on how Malik was just Malik. And he shook his head...before a hand shot out to catch himself on the besdide table to keep from falling as she more or less pounced him. "I'm not thinking that way...I just get concerned is all, especially when he's upset like that. Things happen." Okay so maybe he was a little.
But he gave a sigh and decided to agree with her on it. Children were fickle after all, weren't they? Though another blink and a look over his shoulder to her as that tone laced her voice once more and she had that particular smile again. "You certinally are in a...certain mood...tonight, aren't you?" Not that he said it as a bad thing.

Big purple eyes took a long look at him and he silently debated. Would it be better to get it over with now or to put it off and play with Khai first? He wasn't completely sure which one was the best choice to take but then he thought of how he might not enjoy playing with Khai if he had a talk with Malik hanging over his head. Talks were never good.
"We can do it now." Holding Rawr even tighter for emotional support right now.
"Mmhmm..." She knew better, knew way better. She usually told him that his eyes betrayed him and she was exactly right. They always did. But she decided to let him think what he wanted and go on with her own plan. Ripping off his tunic she threw it over the bed and grinned down at him. "Who says I want to do those things again? Maybe I just like being able to see things instead of letting you cover up." Tracing a nail down the line of muscle that bisected his chest. "Just admiring the view."

The was her disagreeing noise, but he decided to not pay it any mind for right now. He didn't feel the mental energy to get into a debate with her about what was on her mind. It would be draining. Though just as easily as he had put his tunic back on, she had pulled it right back off and threw it back to it's new place on the floor somewhere next to her own clothes probably.
His eyes watched her before glancing to her finger as she traced it down his front, then they looked back up to her own purple eyes. "Then you sure have been doing a lot of sight seeing." If he didn't know better...or rather had kinda been keeping track, he would of guessed her to be starting into that instinct thing her kind did again.

"Good."
Malik picked up a chair, and wlaked over and sat it down for him, and then one for himself.
"Take a seat."
and once he had, Malik leaned back abit, and rubbed his chin, resting his elbow on his other arm that was crossed his chest.
"You feel afriad. intimidated by me. I see it in your eyes, the way you act around me. I imagine my less...pacifistic ways are the reason. but for you to understand that, you have to understand the kinds of life that myself and your father lived."
Leaning forward some.
"You father, was part of a Llothian society. that means the women ruled everything. men like your father were like toys, playthings to be used for whatever purpose they wanted. Men that spoke up, fought back, defied those women in power, usually priestess of Lloth..were killed. sacrificed. That means you had to be willing to go with the flow."
He let that sink in a second.
"you father is, and was, a very powerful drow. but a lifetime of conditioning fosters things. your father is more easy going in appearance than myself. is cooler, calmer than me in many cases."
"I am a Tier'dal..our society was more open than that. but also more brutal. constant killing, backstabbing, stealing, bribing to gain favor with the king or queen. and I furthermore was a soldier. a commander. My men had to fear me, so they would do as I told them. I had to instill fear in those we fought against, to inspire my soliders."
"So I am a bit more confrontational, aggresive in my actions. as my life conditioned me to be. But I still am here to help you, to teach you and to protect you as much as your father is."
"Your father is a member of my house, and as his son, so are you. So I don't want you to fear me. or feel intimidated, alright? I'll no more hurt you than Malikhai."

Zykariel plopped down on the chair, still holding Rawr and glanced up at Malik. It wasn't nearly as hard to see him like this, which was nice for his neck. Not that he had really craned it to look up at Malik, his boots or Malik's waist had been much more interesting. But as Malik began his little fists clenched immediately. He was about to burst out that he was not afraid of the big blue elf, even though he was. But then Malik continued on and he found himself listening raptly, taking in and drawing his own conclusions.
Okay, new word. Llothian. A blink. Wait...Daddy was a toy..for people like Zara? Zara was a woman after all. That was a completely new concept to his mind and he wondered for a moment why Zara would play with his father. His ears twitched lightly and he nodded, showing that he was still listening. He was still connecting things, figuring that since Miss Piper was different from his mother she must not play with Malik. Oh the questions he was going to be asking when he got home.
"Daddy doesn't like confrontation. That's why he gets upset whenever Zara yells. He doesn't understand it. Is that 'cause of the women playing with him?" He wasn't really sure he understood how his father was played with but if Malik said it, it must be true right. The rest of it sank in relatively quickly and he nodded. "I know that. 'Sides, if you did my Daddy would just rune you and be done with it."
Then a sudden thought and he nibbled lightly on his lip. "Can I be a member as long as I want?" Because he still wasn't sure if he was in trouble from playing with the link crystal. And this brought up the possibility that he might not be a member anymore.
"Lots and lots," she agreed unashamedly. Her fingers went to the drawstrings of his trousers and moments later he was back as naked as she was. "I like scenic routes, they lead to so many other things." Patting his cheek lightly, she pushed him down and lightly traced her fingers over his face. "You can always say no."

"Well..Zahara nd your father are different. Zahara was a Llothian...but she didn't like how the other women were, so she ran away. which is also a crime punishable by death to them."
Then a lift of an eyebrow.
"Yes. in a Llothian world..when a women yells at you, that means your about to be hurt. beaten. tormented."
okay how coudl this work. ah.
"it's like this..in a Llothian society. when a woman wants to drink rum and play cards with a man. he either does it as long as she wants, as good as she wants, without ocmplaint, or they hurt him. if she says to pick up her dishes, and he doesn't move fast enough or to her liking, he gets hurt. anything he does they don't like or if he doens't do it good enough, they hurt him. and he's not allowed to fight back, or they kill him instead."
leaning back again.
"So it makes them want to be calm, quiet, and passive in many cases. you have to keep your cool. nad do what they want only as long as they want. the quiet ones aren't as fun to play with."
"In my society. if a woman wants me to do something as I say no, ans she tries to beat me up for it, I can fight back without having to worry about the entire kingdom trying to kill me. I can speak my peice, and defend it. I can fight if I need to, and we often do. So I'ma bit more...aggresive and vocal than your father."
Then a slight chuckle.
"You can be a member as long as your alive. If you choose not to be, then you can...but only when your much older. See...a House is like a pirate ship. you don't let other ships pirates on your boat unless thier your buddies. So if you left the house, and made your own...your a potential danger to all the others. but that also means you can't rely on me and your daddy for help, becuase we have to keep our own house in order before we help someone else's house. understand?"

How did she always manage that? She had a flare for clothing that was for sure, in both picking it and taking it off too. Though a blink up at her and one of those processing looks of his. His hands came up and he lightly grasped her wrists. Just tight enough to tell her to halt thier movement but loose enough for her to easily pull out of.
"No." Shaking his head at her lightly and his tone soft, not giving her a command or chastising her. Besides...when she was in a scenic mood, she liked his ears. They were kinda sore right now. But in adding to the gesture, he lightly kissed her fingertips, still holding her at her wrists. He wasn't doubting so much anymore. "I think someone is starting to get thier instincts again." And they both knew what happened last time she had those around him and they didn't mind themselves.

Malik was painting two very different pictures for him right now. His eyes did widen a bit more as he learned just how evil the women could be. "But that's not really fair. What if he doesn't want to drink rum and play cards? Then he just gets hit a lot?" A shake of his head. "I'm glad he's not there anymore then." And that made sense as to why his father never really yelled but his mother did. Okay, concept obtained.
Then onto a new concept. It all sounded rather dashing to him. He and Khai in a House together. They would protect the ship at all costs and not let any other house people play on it. So basically Daddy and Malik were playing a grown up version of pirates? That wasn't hard to understand either. He nodded to Malik and kicked his feet against the bottom rungs of his chair. "Khai and I are in the same House too. That means we're on the same crew."
A grin to Malik. "Don't worry. If I need help, I'll let you know. Are Zara and Miss Piper the wenches then?"
That stopped her for a moment and she thought about it then realized that he was exactly right. Well that explained her ravenous appetite, now didn't it? Her eyes closed briefly and she felt her cheeks heat with embarassment that she'd been so rowdy that he had guessed before she had. It had to be the amount of times she'd been with both of htem in the past few weeks. That was the only reason she wasn't feeling those telltale pulls in her system, her libido was already getting exercise. Now she could just do more, go longer, and recover much faster. "I guess I am..." She chuckled lightly, meeting his eyes as though they shared a private joke. Firmly chastising her overactive sex drive, she quelled it by resting her head beneath his chin, going for an intimate comfort to replace the desire. "Gods help any males that flaunt themselves around me for a while." Like Arthur. That thought brought on another and she groaned, "I hope I can control myself at the picnic tomorrow..."

He let her wrists go as she rested her head under his chin and he brought a hand up to pat at her hair lightly. "You just need to learn some self control." And he said that every year that they rolled around, for three years now, and every year the little tidbit of advice always got thrown by the wayside.
Though an eyebrow raise at her grown and then a chuckle as he caught the meaning of her last statement. Ah, Arthur. "Just try really hard...or take something before you head out. I know how much you'd hate to end up with another Zykariel." He tried to make it out to be a sort of joke, though it came out dry from his own bias on it. So he shook his head lightly. "Then again why am I telling you? You know what to do. Big girl, can tie your own boots and everything."

Oh he couldn't help it.
"Yes, Piper and Zahara are the wenches."
Oh he was so going to get it for that later, but he just couldn't help it.
"Alright, so you don't need to be afraid of me anymore, right? and I think Malikhai is wiating for you downstairs with the dragons."

"I don't think they like being the wenches but somebody's gotta do it." Thus he gave a Sevilin grin and nodded. "I'm not afraid." Scooting off the chair, he headed for the door since he'd basically been let go from the 'talk', cradling Rawr in one arm as he left the nursery. Suddenly a thought occurred to him and he turned around. "Sorry about breaking it. I didn't mean too..."
And he was off once again, heading downstairs and flopping on the couch next to Malikhai. "You don't feel funny still, do you?" Concern for his friend would always come before playtime.
"Self control...if ever there was a four letter word, that was it. Besides you have enough control for the both of us. I'm the free spirit, the wild and bold one." She let him pat her hair as she lay there, draped across him without getting sexual, which was a hard thing to do in her current state of mind but she managed it. "I'm always taking something just in case." He was right about Zykariel, she could barely stand having one child around much less another. It was rather rough on her to keep her distance from him, especially now that he was growing up and had his cute moments when she wanted to wrap him in a hug and never let him go. He wouldn't stay little forever, maybe when he was older she could befriend him. Once he was situated in his life and she had no hope of influencing him. He got a chuckle and a nuzzle for that comment. "I learned from the best."

He was currently playing a game that would be quite disapproved of...more or less laying his hand in an open dragon mouth and pulling it out before teeth snapped shut on his fingers. Sure, the dragons would never intentionally bite him, but he didn't know that now did he? No, he just thought that he was faster than they were.
But his atteniton turned up from the dragon and hand manuvering to Zykariel as he came back down and plopped down next to him. "No, I feel better." Poking at Circa once before leaving the dragon alone for the moment. "Where'd you go?"
Wasn't that just an odd thing to hear about control. Then again if one stepped back and watched Sevilin, it was easy to see that he strived for control in various ways. For example his excessive cleaning to be 'in control' of his enviroment. "That's good to know."
Giving a sigh and a stretch, deciding to go ahead and make himself comfortable again because it seemed that he wasn't going to be going anywhere after all. A grin. "If you call the best those situations you get yourself into that you're always having to be saved from. Then yes, you have." Yes, he was just messing with her now.

He shrugged. "Nursery. You needed some alone time with your daddy and I wanted to talk to Rawr for a little bit. So I went up there to let you and your daddy talk." Tell Malikhai that he had called his own father crying? Not a chance. But he patted Eket who came to rest by his feet and tilted his head at his friend. "I'm glad you feel better, Khai. I don't like it when you're upset."
A moment passed and he brightened then poked his friend. "So what now?"
She'd gotten used to his sense of humor and had even learned to play into a few times. It made for some laughs and she knew that he didn't really mean what he was saying the way she thought he had when they'd first met. Those had been some pretty rough times between them, usually ending up with one of them on the floor, which although she refused to admit it, was usually her. "Thus is the fate of the free spirit. Constantly caught in the riptide of those who wish to hold her down...or just eat her." A frown. "Or osmosis her..." She let that one lie for a moment and then asked softly. "Will you always be there to save me from myself?" Immediately after asking, she regretted it. She was basically making herself an obligation to him. "Because you know some of these situations I get into just to bring some much needed excitement to your life." A joking edge took off the seriousness of the question, turning it more to a laughable thing than an actual inquiry.

Malik got himself up, and after having a servant clean up the glass, and still for the most part ignoring the guests since they were apparently more interested int eh well being of the kids and what better way to judge that then by letting them have time with teh kids...he went downstairs to Piper, propping up his boots right next to hers.
"So what is on your mind, Chev'?"

He poked back. "I've been doing this." Turning a look to Circa. "Open." Waiting for the dragon to open it's mouth before repeating the same little speed game he had been playing earlier when he was left alone...well not really alone. "I'm really good at it, you should try it." Because hey it was an actual fun game. "Just gotta watch out for thier teeth. They're really really sharp."
He gave a snicker of sorts. "Oh yes, because for some reason you think I need excitment in my life, because you don't believe I am content being boring old Sevilin." Shaking his head lightly with somewhat of a chucle then, changing position to roll his shoulders back before crossing his arms behind his head on his pillow.
"Just try not to track dirt into the house and I'm sure I'll live."
She really needed to shift her position...after all she was more or less sitting on her hair and it wasn't too comfortable. Yes these were the idle thoughts of one who was trying to keep negativeity constrained a bit. Random musings. Still playing with that arrow though, flipping in end over end bewteen two fingers nimblely. Though her attention shifted to Malik and the arrow was helf still, her other hand coming to brush the pad of her finger over the tip as if testing it a moment. "In a word? Guilt. It's not supposed to be this way Malik. That's not supposed to apply to him." The guilt part? Well if it wasn't for her having done something stupid and forcing them to planes jump here...well they wouldn't have this problem. She was perhaps seriously regretting coming here for the first time. After all, she had made her peace with the place when it came to her own confinement there. Piper gave a sigh, poking at that arrow tip some.
