He giggled in that cute fashion and pushed at her hands to stop the tickling. He digested what she said for a moment and thought about it, running it through his mind. "But Daddy is a drow and he's all touchy feely. And she's touchy feely with her horsies." This really had him confused. "How come she's not touchy feely with me? She's not like you Miss Piper. She's not my mommy, just my Zara." He paused for a moment. "Daddy told me she wasn't ready to be my mommy yet. What made you ready to be Khai's?"

That was the problem with little elves...they were so ready to learn and what not that they asked questions that were complex in nature and sometimes you didn't want to answer them. She wasn't going to tell the boy that Zahara didn't want to be his mom though, that would just upset the child. But damn it all if the touchy feely thing didn't backfire on her. "You're touchy feely when you're really comfortable...maybe she's afraid that she will hurt you if she tried. Horses are a lot sturdier than little elves after all." Patting him on the head then giving a sigh, trying to run it through her head and what to tell him but not upset him either. "Well...you see, it took me a long long time to get Malikhai. So I had a lot of time to get used to the idea of being ready to be a mommy. You on the other hand, you just came all fast and Zahara wasn't quite ready for your speeding arrival. We all need time to get used to ideas and things, right? Like when you started sleeping in the nursery beds and not in a crib anymore?" Association was gold.

Malik leaned forward on his elbows, letting Piper tend to Zykariel while he was with Malikhai.
"How's your back? everything okay, nothing really sore, or feeling funny or broken?"

He blinked his big violet eyes and listened to her answer, once again processing. Understanding was good wasn't it? He could tell that she was uncomfortable with his questions though he wanted answers. "I'm sturdierer than I look." He sat up straight in Piper's lap and puffed out his chest. "I can take anything Faete can."
Thinking about it once again he nodded. "Daddy wasn't ready for that either. He got startled the first couple of times that I crawled into bed with him but then he got used to it." That gave him an idea and he brightened. "Do you think she's going to get used to the idea soon? I'm getting older Miss Piper." Holding up his fingers in that 'I'm this many' fashion. "That's a long time to get used to it."

And he took the cute route of actullay trying to look over his shoulder at his back, though he could only turn his head but so much before he was twisting at the waist to to try and accomplish the task. He gave up after a minute or two and returned silvery gray eyes to the equally gray ones of his father. "Nothing's crunchy." Because he associated broken with crunchy for whatever reason. "You're like a rock daddy." Because well, hitting his father was kind of like hitting a wall now wasn't it? Just less surface area. "But it's sore., not really sore, but sore." Rubbing at his eyes lightly and then tending to his ice cream a bit more. He always ate slow when he was more or less distracted. Grabbing his bowl and dropping down from the chair, toddling to his father and climbing up in his lap, but being careful not to spill ice cream on him in the process. "When am I going to be big enough to play with my sword?" And just like that, mind wandered.
She smiled and poked him in the chest as he had puffed it out. "Yes, I see that. Very sturdy indeed. Look at you, growing up big and strong just like your daddy." It was no secret that Zykariel idolized his own father. "Grown ups take a little while to adjust to things that we aren't used to. We just need some time is all." Another pat on the back for him. Whoa, loaded question. "Perhaps." That was as close to a no she was going to get. Didn't want to see him all upset. Though a chuckle as he demonstrated his age. "Remember little one, you're an elf...this many," tapping his fingers, "isn't really a long time for us."

Malik held his son, and grinned lightly at him.
"well...in the open probably not for at least double your age. but me and you, we'll go practice it when you want to. maybe after mommy goes out horse shopping or something. gotta keep it secret for now. and let me fix your back all up."
his hand got a greenish tint, and he rubbed his son's back, using a necromantic spell of health tranferance, letting the brusing leave hsi son and find a new home on his back. after all, a bruise to a toddler wasn't much to an adult.
"want to try what I showed you in the nursery?"

He beamed at her. "Am I really? I thought so too." He wanted to be just like his daddy. He was the best person in the whole plane to him and it was a very high compliment that just made his day to hear it from her. But perhaps wasn't a yes and it wasn't a no either. It was like maybe, which usually ended up being a no.
"But she had time before I came to get used to it, didn't she? Though I guess that wasn't long enough neither." He dropped his hands and twisted them in his lap for a moment before looking back up to her. "I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait, huh? Is there anything I can do to help her get ready Miss Piper? I like it when you get touchy feely with me. I wish she would..."

Still shoveling ice cream as he sat there listening. Though he soon set down the bowl and his spoon in it, then took to counting on his fingers. Well he knew he was three, so double his age would make him six. Not that he had a concept of time in connection with age. "Because she'll be upset, right?" Not really sure why, but okay.
Then a little smile, after all that necromantic healing was quite a normal feeling for him, seeing as that was how his father dealt with his injuries. It was a warm feeling. A look over his shoulder again to his dad once more and he looked a little upset. "Do we have to rip Rawr again to do it?"
Oh this kid was too smart for his own good...and just think, Malikhai was right behind him...or in some cases ahead of him, but it was still all in the same area. "Yes you will, being patient is important now isn't it? It's the one thing us elves have over everyone else...time and patience." Poking the tip of his nose in emphasis on it. And then she shook her head. "No dear, you're doing just fine as you are now. You can't rush some things Zykariel, they just have to happen at thier own pace. And maybe if you ask, she will. After all, everyone gives hugs."

He wrinkled his nose and gave a lopsided smile to her then his face fell. "But I don't want to have to ask her. I want her to scoop me up because she wants to or because I'm upset and she wants to make me feel better. I don't want to have to get her approval to climb into her lap and snuggle. I want to be able to read her stories and have her kiss my elbow and knee when I scrape them up after playing. I want her to mess up my hair the way Daddy does when I hug his legs and I want her to smile down at me and kiss me and Rawr goodnight. She doesn't do any of those things like you and Daddy and even Khai's daddy do." His lower lip started to tremble and he sniffled, his big purple eyes filling with tears. "Is that too much to want from a grown up?" Maybe he was asking too much of her. Maybe he wanted something that he couldn't have. "At least she lets me help her make cookies..."

Oh that was heartbreaking now wasn't it? And she only wrapped her arms around the child, drawing him close against her and hugging him, one hand brushing through his hair lightly. She hated it just as much as he did, but had merely learned to turn a blind eye to Zahara's less than stunning or attentive role at being the boy's mother. "I know you do Zykariel...but if she's not ready, then she's not ready dear. And there's nothing that can be done about that." Bringing a hand to his chin and tilting his eyes up to hers. "I know it's not fun to wait, but sometimes that's all that anyone can do. Do you understand?"

He savored the hug, wrapping his own little arms around her as best he could and sniffled into her shoulder but he wouldn't let himself cry. At least not very much. "I know." Two tears tracked their way down his cheeks as she held onto his chin and he nodded lightly. "Yes, I just hope I don't have to wait too much longer. After a little while I'm going to be all grown up and then it's going to be too late." He sniffled again and then stopped crying, his little mind working.
"Do you think maybe a time limit will help?" He knew when he wanted a cookie and couldn't make a decision if Daddy or Zara started counting and got to a certain number then they would pick for him, and htat usually meant no cookie at all or one that he wouldn't have picked in the first place.

Meilikki watched as Rusty sank further and further under the table. "Is something bothering you, Rusty?" She had that 'i know sometihng' air about her.
Roarke and the others skidded onto the scened. "Holy Spirits." Roarke whispered. He never though Onyx would actually go this far. "Jude, you and your Kuro make sure Zell stays safe. I'll take care of Onyx." He placed his hands together, pulled them apart, and a little butterfly curled up from it. "Sorry buddy, not this time." Butterfly vanished in a puff of smoke, which began to twist and form and grow between his palms.

She brought fingerstips to run across his cheeks. She knew how bad he felt, for she had fought the same battle with Zahara...Piper just didn't have the heart to tell him that it was a loosing battle that he was fighting here. If anyone was to tell him that, it needed to be Sevilin. "Good things come to those who wait Zykariel, or so I've heard. You just remember that okay?" This was just...it just grated on her really...and she had been feeling so good earlier. "And it's never too late for anything Zykariel." Ruffling his hair lightly then. "Time limits just make everyone cranky." Trying to lighten the mood now with tone and those particular looks.

"F***" Zell swore loudly as he felt claws dig into his chest.
"I Am Not Hiding! YOU FREAK. You sadistical, bull headed, badly dressed a*****e!" He spit at Onyx again, for what good it did. He Fell to the ground, crouching and holding his side with one arm.
"I never though I could hate soemone as much as I hate you."
Jude and Kuro jumped into the frey, pulling Zell aside as he screamed insults and curses.
Zachadia, Adso, Ori, Kaida, Mik suddenly came from no where and stood guard as Jude and Kuro gave medical aid. Mik kept looking behind himn worried.

He closed his eyes and let her wipe his tears then laid his head against her shoulder again. He nodded into her shoulder and wiped his eyes then sat back up. " 'Kay." He smiled at her. "I'm okay Miss Piper, I promise." She looked a little worried about him. "I just have sad moments sometimes. Daddy doesn't like them either." Then lowering his voice to a whisper he confided, "They usually happen right after I have episoaps. Daddy says it's normal."
