Ice cream! That was a wonderful thing, now wasn't it? It magically dried up tears and made things alright again. And they would wheedle cookies out of someone and plop those in there as well. Cookies and ice cream, how nice. But Piper moved him and he nodded to Malik, wiping his nose and eyes with his tunic. "It's okay." Because a response was needed whenever anyone said they were sorry.
But when Miss Piper picked him up he clung to her like she was his very own mother, his hand latching onto her hair and he lightly rested his head against her shoulder. It really had been an accident and now he was feeling achy which is what usually happened when he used magic accidentally. He squirmed lightly in her hold before nodding. "I'm glad Rawr is all better. He doesn't like not being able to fly."
She could feel his hand moving against her bare back under her cloak even which told her how much he really was trying to make her feel better. She sat there for a long time, listening to his words but not really hearing them until she finally forced herself too. "I've never seen anything like it. He was bruised...all over. I did that, Sevilin. And I can feel where I bruised you as well." Turning she reached over and touched the tender places on his arms, his chest and even some spots on his legs. "I know I did that, Sevilin. It may not have hurt you, but Arthur it did. It hurt him badly and now...I do'nt know what to do."

Zell spit again, it was the onyl thing he felt he could do at the moment.
"You need anger managament pall, this is rediculouse."
Jude ran on, occasionaly stopping at a crossroads before continuing. "I had more respect for him. Zell wont fight back and that could be a problem."
Kuro jumped down from a roof top. "Spirits Jude they're fighting!"
"We're on it!" Yelled Jude.

"Anger, you haven't seen anger. let me show you."
Onyx stopped fighting a moment, and pooled his power. the very air around him seemed to get darker, tendrild of that tar like goo flowed up into the air like liquid flames.
"three years. three years of listening to your insults and remarks, while you hid behind that vow. three years of having to stay my hand. three years to nurse my anger, and my hate, and my rage."
His fur started to bristle, and the goo gave it a very sharp appearance. his wings were looking more reptilian, like the feathers had become a sheet of sharp blades. it coated his tail, and made it twice as long, and ending in a sharp spade. You could see it trying to even get into his mouth, but being forced back through strength of will perhaps or lack of enough of it to get the job done and maintain itself everywhere else, though it didn't stop trying.
"Now, there's no one here to stop my hand. no one to protect your hide, even your vow."
and he jolted forward, teh black goo enhancing muscle, though at this point, at least to someone who knew what that liquid evil was, might be debating wether or not Onyx was actually in control of his actions or if it was. It certainly fed on his anger and violent desires toward Zell, and Onyx probably knew what he was doing. but one could debate on wether this little 'trick' was his control of the substance, or the substance taking an advantage to trying and gain control over it's 'host'.
His claws connected this time, leaving some deep gashes..and that Tail was trying to act like a scorpion stinger, and pierc rather than slash at his enemy.
Malik took Malikhai without question, and hefted him up and carried him while Piper had Zykariel to the kitchen, and got them both a bowl of icecream and sat them down.
"I would imagine not. same as you wouldn't like not being able to run."
after all, a real dragon loved flight as much as a child did running.

Oh yes Sevilin would love this, ice cream so very early in the morning for the child. Oh who cared, they were going to be hyper anyway so might as well let them get all wound up now and then they'd crash later, maybe take a mid day reverie. That would be nice. But back downstairs when then both, plopping them back out at the table and look icecream for the boys.
Cling to his father indeed, he was more than happy to. After all, he was upset and crying a few moments ago so he would actively seek comfort. And hey, what was more comforting than dad in a soft robe? Maybe mom, but that wasn't the point right now. Of course all smiles then as he was set down and given ice cream. Though he kept shifting in his seat before looking to his father. "My back hurts." Well of course it did.
Zykariel clung to Piper, his hand holding to her braid in oh so familiar gestured as he was carted back downstairs, having been given back Rawr and was cuddling him in the crook of his arm, letting himself be sat down and then appeased with icecream. Yes, all was forgiven when it came to icecream then. A look to Malik. "Rawr says thank you."
A survey of the situation for a moment, crossing her arms lightly and giving a sigh. Children, they were a handful at times, and were quite fickle. But she didn't sit back down, and her tea was cold by this time anyway so that was a lost cause. Hm, why did she have a feeling that this wasn't going to be too fun a day? Or stressful at the very least.
He pushed her hands gently away from himself as she wanted to poke nad prod to show a point. "I'm fine. And Arthur is a surface elf. Remember how easily they show marks? I thought you had learned that well by now from all the examples that Piper has granted you with. They're pale, they live in the underdark and are paler, and they show any and every touch made to them. I hardly doubt you were as rough on him as you think you were. And they're soft and fragile too...it's just a surface elf thing, no need to beat yourself up over it."
Casual about it? Why yes. After all, if Arthur was going to sleep with Zahara, he had to go through this too now didn't he? Sevilin had been the main vent for those urges, though under the circumstances he hadn't minded too much, but since she had taken up with Arthur, well he would have to deal.

It didn't take long to work his way through that bowl though Zykariel was mid-bite when Malikhai mentioned that his back hurt and he felt instant chagrin. He had caused that, once again his magic had gotten out of whack and he'd hurt his friend. He hadn't forgotten and his body certainly hadn't either, starting to get that weighted feeling to his muscles and he scratched at his arms and squirmed lightly. It was just now starting and that meant in a little bit he wasn't going to be a very happy child. But his friend had to be taken care of first. "I'm sorry Malikhai. I didn't mean to hurt you..."
He squirmed again, uncomfortable in his own skin and sniffed lightly, rubbing at his eyes. Pushing his empty bowl aside he laid his head lightly on the table, crossing his arms around his tiny body. Daddy always held him after he lost control but he wasn't here right now was he? Malikhai seemed happy enough and Piper's lap was free. He glanced between the two adults but still wasn't comfortable getting comfort from Malik just yet. Instead he crawled down off his chair and walked over to Piper, laying his head against her arm. "I don't feel too good Miss Piper..." That 'I'm about to cry' voice.
She suddenly had the picture of Piper's cheek after she'd hit her pop into her mind. Piper's waist the day Zahara had lost it and gone after Malik. Piper's arm that same day when she'd grabbed her bruised her arm. He was right, they did bruise easily. Too easily sometimes. She sighed softly and nodded, "I guess you're right. Maybe it is a lot worse than it looks, but he wasn't ready for it." A shake of her head. "Would you talk to him for me? I mean since you're well versed in this area and all...? Please Sevilin?"

His attention turned back to his ice cream and to Zykariel. Now, what did we learn about fighting amongst ourselves and then were apologized to? "I forgive you Zykariel." Even if he was hurt, or at the very least uncomfortable. But his attention turned back to his father with that 'so what are you going to do to fix it' look, shifting uncomfortably in his seat again and giving a little noise of discomfort to it.
Piper turned her eyes down to the little drow as he walked over to her, looking for motherly comfort from her. This wasn't the first time they had delt with this...first time he had hurt Malikhai like this, but certinally not the first time they'd experienced his little magic flares. He was always fussy afterwards. Definately one of those times where she felt like she had two kids instead of one and one of those times where she had to fill the mother role that Zykariel more or less lacked in his life. Thus reaching down, she picked him up, laying him against herself and rubbing at his back lightly. "Itchy and achy? Don't worry, it'll pass."
"Most men aren't ready for it. And if you don't get used to it quick...well." Trail off of that and let it go where it may in her head. "If he's going to be with you, he might as well learn to take it in stride and not be a surface elf about it." Giving her another soothing rub on her back, he got up and started getting himself dressed for the day. Couldn't make Zykariel wait forever. Though he stopped and looked to her at her request. "You want me to talk to him..."
Though her tone said that if he didn't agree or didn't give an answer soon, then she was going to start clinging and so on and so forth. "Fine, I'll talk to him on my way to get Zykariel. Are you heading to Twilight today?" Said as he resumed dressing.

He nodded, turning his face into her shirt and grabbing onto that braid again. It felt good when she rubbed his back and he was grateful to her for doing it when Daddy wasn't there too. He squirmed again and whimpered lightly. "I hate this part of it. More than breaking things nad getting everyone mad at me."
Zahara flopped back against the pillows in the spot he had just vacated and watched him going about dressing. She shook her head as he made her think things she would much rather let go and not think about. Of course she nodded to him. "Yes, you would be able to answer things that I can't, Sevilin." and then he agreed. Which was always nice. In her mind though she was deciding not to ever put Arthur through that again. She just wouldn't sleep with him when she was like this. Problem solved. "No, probably not. I'll get some things done here. I don't want to say or do anything that I might regret. But you can bring Zykariel back if you need to work or something."

When Arthur woke up an hour or so later all he felt was pain, even his ultra soft bed that he got for himself was not even working right, by the gods did Zahara ruin his body. But the thing for Arthur was that he not upset at Zahara for what she did, he just wanted to know why she did it, why did she go so out of control and forced him to go for so long? Those questions will go unanswered for quite awhile until he felt like meeting Zahara face to face, the thing he needed to do was call up Piper and make her send a cleric over to look at his body. First things first he needed to get dressed and that was a challenge in itself, so bracing himself for any pain he would feel on top of then pain he was already feeling Arthur started to move in bed. At that moment pain shot right through him and a small groan sailed through his parted lips but he had to continue on, so inch by inch he moved his arm to the edge of the bed and in one quick movement he threw back the covers, which caused a loud groan of pain to escape him. After waiting a few minute for the pain to dull down Arthur decided it was now a good time to look at his body and see how it was going on, when he looked down all he saw was purple skin, gods barely any normal skin tone was showing he almost looked like a drow in some areas of his skin. The young elf sighed in frustration and didn't even want to know what the rest of his body looked like.
Well it took him awhile but fifteen minutes later Arthur was standing on his own two feet, he could barely stand but he was and that was good wasn't it? The rest of his body though did not look so good, his legs, hips and back almost looked like his chest and stomach area with a few exceptions here and there. Sighing lightly Arthur took one step forwards and instantly pain shot up his leg and like a ripple effect it went through his entire body, knowing that this wasn't going to be an easy task Arthur braced himself for the next little while and took another step. Moments later Arthur was leaning against the wall in his room and he was breathing heavily, but in those moments he was able to put on a pair of pants which was something even for Arthur. "God I need a cleric." he whispered to himself a shifted himself to turn towards where he left his link crystal hoping he would get it before he collapsed from the pain.

"I know, it doesn't feel nice at all, does it? But you know, if you think about something else, it won't be as bad. Want to give it a try for me?" Brushing a hand through his hair in comforting manner to the boy, before taking to rubbing at his back again. He really needed to get this under control...which this magic training was going to be good for as well. "No one's angry with you either." After all, he really couldn't help it."A'mael, tend to your son...I'm going to go handle Zykariel." Because it just wasn't a right idea to coddle one child in front of the other and possibly breed jealousy or 'you're stealing my mommy' complexes. Thus with a nod to Malik then in affirmation, she walked from the room with Zykariel, taking him up to the nursery and sitting down in a chair, setting the boy in her lap.
"Yes, the 'we're sleeping with the same woman and once a year she does odd things' talk. I'm sure that will be a wonderful experience." As he sneered at the notion...after all, him and Arthur were on relatively friendly terms, but they didn't have heart to hearts really. Then again Sevilin wasn't an open kind of elf anyway. But slipping into his boots he returned to the bed, running a hand through her hair in comforting gesture once more. "I'm sure he's fine. Don't make a mess, okay?" A chuckle at that before he grabbed his pole arm and Nym gave a chitter and climbed up his clothing, the two leaving the roon and thus the house.
Thus the walk across the underdark some, it was nice not needing a map to know where to go, wasn't it? But soon enough he was coming upon Arthur's place. Sevilin stopped, and took a moment to mentally prepare himself for all of this. A few moments of that and then he continued his walk up to Arthur's little dwelling, giving a pet to Nym's head before he sighed and knocked on the door. Though standing there for about three minutes he thought and more or less figured that Arthur may not be up to moving. Trying the door knob found it locked. "Nym, get inside for me." Thus watching the ferret climb down and squeeze under the door, only to hear the lock click the next moment and he opened the door, stepping in as Nym then hitched a ride on his boot. "Arthur?"

Well Arthur made it about halfway across the room when suddenly the rune that was placed on his house suddenly lit up in front of him, so now someone was coming over and he had to play host, so quickly he went over to his dressed and grabbed a while s**t and put it on quickly so he could be a bit presentable though he left the buttons undone so it wouldn't bug him. Though he noticed something was different this time, the rune wasn't turning brighter than it usually would when Zahara appeared at his doorstep, that meant someone else was coming to his little dwelling but who? Well Arthur decided to wait until the person arrived and see if he wanted to talk to them or not so he quietly sat on his bed and waited. Moments later he heard a knock on the door but no one was calling out to him so it wasn't Zahara. Maybe they will go away... He thought but that was proven wrong when he heard something click which meant they had opened the lock and then a familiar voice called his name. Sevilin? Here? Huh what a surprise... he thought and quickly got up and walked over to the door that seperated his bedroom from the rest of the house.
The door to his bedroom opened and Arthur easily laid his eye on Sevilin once the door was out of his way, sighing lightly Arthur shifted a little where he stood so he could lean against the frame of the door way as he continued to look at the drow. "Well hello Sevilin, what brings you to my home?" He asked as he slipped his hands into his pants pockets, he need not to be all defensive about Sevilin coming over and was open to talk to the man from time to time.

"No," he said fussily squirming once agian. But wait? Where are we going? He lifted his head and looked around trying to figure out what was happening and then relaxed when she walked into the nursery and sat down with him. He thought for a moment she was going to set him down somewhere and go do something else. But that wasn't what Miss Piper did.
He snuggled against her for a little while in silence trying to think of something else. Pirates was good. He could pretend he was playing. The worst of it passed without him even really realizing it as he concentrated really hard and he sat up in her lap and reached up and ran his fingers along her collar making the arrows sing as they hit each other. "How come you wear that kind of necklace all the time?"
Zahara rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Yes, get together and compare notes if you wish." Of course she waited until he was out of the room to say that. No need to upset him when he was doing her a favor. And the moment he was gone she shed her clothes and walked to his closet. Picking one of his tunics that was too small for him but he stubbornly wore anyway, she pulled it on and exhaled as the scent of him assailed her. Then back to her room where she found the special pair of pants the tailor had made for her. Today was a sweatpants day.

Wasn't that just like a surface elf? Trying to look all causal though he was in pain. Hey, Sevilin knew what he was looking for and at, he had spend a good portion of his life hunting down and killing such creatures. Sure, he could take pain but he could dish it out just as easily. But his mind was wandering now wasn't it?
Shutting the door behind himself and stopping a moment to let Nym climb his braid to get back to his shoulder for a pet and a treat for opening the door, Sevilin gave Arthur a once over. "You look like hell. No need to play all nice and humble house owner on me, go sit down." He gave a casual shrug then, looking around a little uncomfortably...after all, he'd never be in Arthur's house before.
"Well, Zahara isn't a happy woman and thought that you an I should have a talk about what happened between you and her." Blunt? Of course he was, he was Sevilin. He didn't like to waste time beating around the bush.
Piper sat there in silence with him, merely being comforting to him in motions and prescense. Sometimes it wasn't about the words...especially when it came to males...they had to be all tough and what not, even this young. Though it seemed her was feeling a little better in not too much time, he was at least perky again. She smiled at him commenting on her collar, touching at it. Her son often held to it like she did, though Malik wasn't one to touch it really. "Because Malik gave it to me and it's very special. I don't ever take it off...and when I do have to because I'm hurt or something like that, I'm very sad." Petting at him a moment again. "Feeling any better?"

As Arthur stood there watching the drow he was trying his best not to move around a lot like he always does when there was something bugging him, besides if h dare to move he would be causing more pain than what he was getting right now. So he quietly watched the drow as his pet ferret Nym crawled around the drow and get a little treat from the man, probably that's how Sevilin got in to his home. "Do I? I haven't noticed." He said with a light chuckle and pushed himself off the doorframe. "Alright fine come with me and sit down as well, there is no use to having you stand around and do nothing." So with a small wave of his hand over to the couches he had set up Arthur lead the way over, but before he sat down he made a small motion with his wrist and the wood in the fireplace suddenly burst in a warm glow, then he sat down but he took his time before he rested in the fine soft couches.
Though when Sevilin mentioned to Arthur why he was over in the first place the younger elf looked at the drow in surprise, she actually told him what happened? So that means he knows that they are sleeping together well that was just perfect. "Oh really? She told you about that? Well then I guess there is no reason for me to be quiet about it..." He paused for a moment as his turned his gaze a little away from Sevilin to think about it, but wasn't it like Sevilin to go straight to the point of the problem? Never has Arthur ever seen the man dance around the subject before talking about it, he always dive head first into the matter and bring it out into the open. "So...where do you want to start?" He asked, he was kind of uncomfortable talking about this; especially to Sevilin.

He nodded and made the arrows sing once again then put words to his agreement. "A little." He busied himself playing with it and then smiled at her. "You make me feel lots better Miss Piper." He snuggled into her giving back the same affection and then thought of something. "Miss Piper?" Tilting his little head in that inquisitive way. "How come Zara isn't like you?" Because Zykariel knew that Zahara was his mother but she wasn't like Piper. Zara didn't comfort him after he lost control, Piper or Sevilin did.

In uncomfortable fashion, Sevilin followed Arthur to the couches and sat down. After all, he didn't have the best interpersonal skills that others had. Usually kept to himself and reaching out just wans't something he did. He would rather just toss a bone to someone and move on about his day. Though he did give a motion of his hand, summoning up that runic circle and one under Arthur two, scribing a rune to that air that would interpose on Arthur himself and heal him up a bit.
"She tells me a lot of things. Happens when you live together and what not." Shrugging lightly and perhaps a little amused that Arthur was so surprised about that. "We're comfortable with each other, things just kinda get ranted out all the time." Giving another shrug to that, watching Nym a moment as the ferret crawled down his chest to sit on his knee. "You're the one who's uncomfortable with it, shouldn't you be the one to start? After all, who better to ask about female drow instincts than a drow make familiar with them? So then, questions? Quips? Queries?"
She gave a little chuckle, letting him snuggle and such as much as he wanted. He may not be hers, but that didn't mean a thing now did it? He deserved love and attention just as anyone else did. He was just a toddler after all. "Yes Zykariel?" Pulling back some as he had to look at him as he looked at her in that inquisitve way. And then there was one of those questions that she really didn't want to answer. "Well...me and Zahara, are different, yes. Mostly because she's a drow and I'm a surface elf." Sure she hated that excuse but she was going to use it right now. "Us surface elves are all touchy feely." Giving him a little tickle to his tummy to reinforce that hopefully.
