"So you do cook, just not at home...?" Why did that make no sense to him? Zara cooked almost every meal he ate. The only ones she didn't were the ones that he ate here or if Daddy cooked. But he didn't like Daddy's cooking. It wasn't yummy like Zara's was. Zara knew just how he liked his food and she made it for him that way every single time. And sometimes she would add little extras, like a smiley face in his oatmeal out of chocolate in the morning, after their little fight about waffles and pancakes of course.
He tilted his head and looked at her then nodded. "I guess. Daddy pays for our food but Daddy says not all houses are like ours. I guess pirate ships are just different sometimes, huh? How come you share a bed with Mr. Malik? Does he have bad reveries like my Daddy?"

Malik made his way downstairs, the sound of a book falling got him instantly shadowstepped to teh area it came from, to find his son siting tangled in teh sheets of thier fort the previous evening. So he went over and helped him out of that, picking him up and carrying him with him to the kitchen...though giving a grin at the question posed to Piper. this should be an interesting answer.

And maybe a painkiller to boot. Not that she hurt, she was just a little stiff and achey feeling in her muscles. "Right, I cook, just not at home." Though it looked like he really didn't get that...but she didn't expect him to. A little nod to him as he went about trying to draw his own conclusions...little elves were so cute. "If things were all the same, there wouldn't be any fun to be had by discovering new things, now would there?" Yes, she pretty much treated Zykariel just as she treated her own son, after all there was no reason not to, he deserved affection too. Though she did find his last question odd. "Well, everyone has a bad reverie or two, but that's not the only reason we share a bed. Welike to be near one another so we share the same room because we always want to be within arms reach of one another. Makes us feel safe, and know we can watch out for each other when we're most vulnerable." Sounded good without confusing the poor boy with aspects such as marriage and what not...Sevilin probably wouldn't appreciate the questions. Though she was hoping those were coming to an end anyway because low and behold, breakfast as set down in front of the boy.
A half closed eyes look up at his father and a little yawn with one of those goofy morning smiles of his before he was untangled from his little sheet prison that he had merely been sititng in, only to be picked up and carried. Hey he didn't mind at all...nope, just let one hanf grasp to the fabric of Malik's robe and laid his head on his father's shoulder with another nod. It was nice to be carried around when you weren't ready to get up and walk around. Too early. Not even he got up this early and he was usually the first one up pestering the parents awake.

That just made the little boy's day. Pancakes and waffles! In the same day! He couldnt' get over it. But he cut a rather large piece with his fork and nodded. That made sense to him. He liked to share a bed with his father too, for pretty much the same reason. He liked to be around daddy and daddy liked to be around him. It worked, especially in his little mind.
But then Malik and Malikhai appeared. Zykariel grinned, "Morning Khai! We get pancakes and waffles!"

"Paybacks."
Oh he wasn't getting away that easy. Onyx's claws found meat, dug in nice and tight, and dragged him back into beating range. they rakes, clawed, and he bit when he could.
"Come on, defend yourself! Or I'll just rip you apart!"
his eyes were glowing lightly red at this point, and that black goo was starting to make sizzling sounds where it hit the ground. the 'negative energy' in Onyx was starting to turn the goo into hot tar...not that he was noticing that at this point. entirely bent on beating Zell to a pulp.

Zell's eyes buldged. "What in all that is holy... it's burning! Ah! Ah! it's burning you god for saken, alcohol sodden, flea ridden, tostesterone driven sac of s**t!" Zell was tryign to claw his way out, while trying to pry off Onyx's claws at the same time.
"Let go of me you vile, disgusting vah!" He struggled against the grips. "I told you i wouldn't break my vow to Raorke. Ah! You think this makes you better than me? What respect I had for you is gone now! For spirits sake it's F***ing burning!" Zell was freaking out, a slight characteristic of his.
He managed to ascape for a moment and get to his feet. He spit on his hands where the... stuff was burning his skin. He noticed it was all over his red scarf and his ears went back angry. "You've ruined my scarf..."

He didn't look nearly as enthused as he his friend was about pancakes and waffles for breakfast. Then again Malikhai was still rousing from reverie...he had a little trouble doing so lately, it just took him a while to get in gear. Especially if he was up earlier than normal. Merely a little noise of affirmation that he heard him, giving another yawn and still clutching to his father.
Her eyes shifted to Malik as Zykariel drew her attention there. Indeed, there stood her husband with thier son in hand. He never seemed to stay down long after she had left the bed, but then again it made sense. That almost daily ritual of spending an hour or so in bed together awake before getting up hadn't taken place. Piper's attention briefly turned to the cup of tea that was set down for her for a moment and then back to Zykariel. "Don't take such big bites, you'll get it all over the place."

Chastised for a moment he paused and then started to eat again, with smaller bites. He refrained from telling Miss Piper that she obviously hadn't seen an Inthara eat. They wolfed down their food, ate a lot of it and usually didn't let more than a crumb spill. Well...syrup tended to get places, it just happened that way most of the time. He couldn't help it, really... " 'Kay." Miss Piper reminded him of Zara in the morning. She needed a cup of something to get her moving and she was never really wide awake, even if she was cooking.

Onyx verifiably roared at him, and his claws were in full force and the ground aroudn him was litterally sizzling and actually setting some small fires. though tthey burned themselves out quickly.
"alcohol sodden. Flea ridden. These comments are why you deserve to burn. why you deserve to have the will to speak even beaten out of you."
His voice was dark, voilent, and even had a trace of an echo to it.
"break your vow. of course not. the only reason you were given to make that vow was beacuse Roarke knows your no match for me. Knew then that you had no chance. but now, there's no Roarke, no pack to protect you. and I have had ENOUGH of your insults and your degredations to the character of those that raised me, by implying they wouldn't raised a good kit! I am no drunkard! and I take great pride in my appearance!"
Another roar and splaying of wings. except to teh trained eye, some of those feathers seemed..metallic. and black, and gooey.
"you choose not to fight, to defend yourself? fine, then take the beating that's coming to you!"
Malik put Malikhai in his chair, and mussed his hair abit, before settling himself down and going for the wine he usually had in the morning, and hey why not, pancakes and waffles.
"Everything go alright for you guys last night? no bad reveries or anything?"

A little nod at him as he didn't fight her on it. She swore, sometimes it was like she had two kids instead of one. Not that she minded of course, she enjoyed the boys...sure there were the overwhelming moments of constant testosterone in the house, but she learned to deal with it. Though she was forgoing breakfast right now, nope she was happy with her cup of tea.
Another yawn from him, hands going up to try and fix what his father had done to his hair...not that it had been straight or combed in the first place, the dyed red and black strands mixing in with the white in messy just woke up fashion. "We heard noises, but we were brave." Random night noises that came from downstairs or just from the open spaces of the place in general that were usually not present in the comforting nursery he, or they, usually slept in. "And I stepped on a bug without my boots on...it was icky." Giving a little shiver at that. "No bad reveries." At least he hadn't had any, giving a smile as he was served up some breakfast which he duely drowned in provided toppings.

He glanced at Malikhai a moment and then took to his breakfast. Though a moment's pause and he grinned. "I found a rock and a bug." Thus pulling things out of his pocket and putting htem on the table. A poke to said bug. "it's not moving anymore though..." Because it had died in his pocket but he had no concept of death. "Must be sleeping." Thus he stuck it back in his pocket and left the stone on the table before wolfing down teh rest of his breakfast. "Even though you don't cook, Miss Piper, it's still good." Then a look at Malik. "did you have fun playing cards and drinking rum?"

Rusty moved towards Jude and accepted his hand giving it a light shake. He nodded at his comment about Moonstone being a nice guy.
Rusty looked at the delicious food that was handed over to him and couldn't help but smile. He found a seat, sat down at the table and started muching on the seaweed bread and sipping his stew. He was actually quite well behave at the table considering he never was raised in a wealthy place. He took a break from eating to compliment Meilikki's cooking. This had to be the best food he has ever tasted.
He continued eating while his mind was puzzling over the mage word. He actually had never heard of such a word. "Erm... what exactly is the job of a mage?"

Zell jumped out of the way, nimbly dodging Onyx's attacks. He was expressionless now, even though his hand was till burning. He was angry.
"Just beacuse Roarke isn't here doesn't mean its okay to break my promise to him and I wouldn't ask my pack to defend me where they here. You think I'm no match for you? No, Roarke forbade me becasue your not WORTHY to fight me."
He spit at Onyx.
"I hate you, more than that I depsise you. Not because of those who raised you. But because i think your ego-centric and self centered. Your selfish and bossy and worst of all... you have the worst supiriority complex I've ever seen." He dodged as Onyx came at him again. "Plus the smell of you burn sthe insides of mu nostrles, and I don't likethat. And now you've gone and ruined my scarves!"

Onyx's wing flared out, sending a barrage of sharp gooey 'feathers' at him and his claws came close. it was only a matter of time before Onyx's power was brought into play..that or the 'goo' got the better of him.
"Not worthy. you don't know what worth is yet, pup. you've never been in combat, or battle save your damned training. You didn't face the hordes of soulless, you didn't face the orc hordes either."
His eyes literally glowed red now.
"I'll ruin more than your scarves. I'll tear them apart and I'll take your hide with them. you have no right to insult someone older than you, stronger than you, and more experienced then you! And then let Roarke give you some damned excuse not to back your words!"
"Maybe I should let you play with another dog, if your so worried about me and nto wanting to break your precious promise."
Maybe he should. he coudl do it, he was sure. do and control it. let this dog face one of those things that had tormented his mother...what was it's name again? Errtu?
Malik looked at the bug, and that only got a slight raise of the brow.
"Zykariel...let me have that. and what kind of bug did you step on, son?"

"You know Mr. Malik, Daddy says it's rude to not answer questions. Or answer questions with questions..." Though he looked a little confused by that statement, not really understanding that questions could be rhetorical and thus a straight answer. Though a blink at Malik again. He wanted his bug? Well...okay. So digging into his pocket he pulled out said dead bug and held it out for Malik to take. Thus a look to Piper. "Can I have seconds Miss Piper?"
While Zykariel was asking for seconds, he was only just maybe a quarter through his. Yup, he was all slow and cute in the morning if he was brought up out of reverie before he himself wanted to get out of it. But his attention turned to his father then at the question that he was given. Though dad have to wait for that answer until Malikhai finihsed licking the syrup off the fork in his hand. "It looked like that one." Pointing said fork to the bug Zykariel was holding out...okay so they had been chasing bugs together...Malikhai just happened to step on the one he had been chasing. "It crunched and got gooey, and I think it pinched me...and then it disappeared into the goo it made." More more pointedly he had stepped on it and killed it into bug go...it hadn't gone anywhere really.
"Good to know Zykariel. I try." Shaking her head lightly, Piper gave a slight chuckle at the boy, tilting her head at Malik as he asked about bugs and what not. But it seemed that six months time difference between the two boys did make the difference...Zykariel was already pulling things out of his pockets. Then again he did spend a fair more amout of time outside than Malikhai did...not that Piper expected that to be that way much longer. Boy was starting to need more play space. Though a skeptical look again to Zykariel. "Sure you can have more..." Could that boy really eat like his father did? That was maybe a scary thought.
