Arthur to say at least was giving the best he could, his notes came out as clear as he could bring them as his fingers danced along the neck in time with Isle and her flute, though Isle was amazing with her instrument, her notes came out so crisp and so fresh it almost made Arthur cry, when the notes reached his ears they twitched lightly as if they was following the tempo, as for the rest of his body it was swaying to the melody as best it could.
Though as they both played together Arthur could notice that this piece that Isle decided to play meant something special, it's as if h could actually see the whole reason behind the melody, he could sense the feeling of distant places that held fond memories, special moments that had past but will always be held forever in time and this piece of music, everything was coming at him and Arthur could help but shed a tear, letting it roll down his cheek and resting on his violin for a second before suddenly moving and falling to the floor, boy did he feel good to be and elf. So he expressed his feeling by playing along with Isle, and there were times were he let her play her sweet flute alone and she did the same thing right back at him, it was if they were feeding off each other to produce such wonderful music and as they played they knew when to increase the sound or decrease, when to allow the other for a solo or to play together, it felt wonderful.

She was pleased with him, opening her eyes a time or two to watch him and note how he was going about his own playing. Not too bad at all really. Though she was impressed that he could keep up and her ears did detect a certain change in his playing as if he was getting used to listening and responsing with the right sound and not just known notes, but even brand new ones he probably never thought of before.
Though as all good things do, this to came to an end. But it was a surprise at all that they had stopped because it was like they hadn't or rather, made it noticible. Music wained down to bare whispers and octaves heard above or below the human range and then more or less disappeared completely and fading off around them. Though Isle stopped before Galesen, lowering her flute and opened her eyes once more to watch him continue on as he may. Lovely indeed. When he trailed off to an end himself, Isleandra gave an equally melodic laugh. "That was beautiful."

Lharika popped the last ladylike bite of her sandwich into her mouth and nodded, slipping out of the chair and rushing off after Malikhai to get her own cloak. Good thing she had her boots still on. She knew right where it was too, on a hook in the nursery right next to Malikhai's closet. She'd hung it there personally and now she grabbed it and a little bag that her father had trained her to take with her no matter what. Not Daddy Kieran, her real father. Looping it over her shoulder she grasped the leather and smiled briefly, then dropped it to settle at her waist. Racing off back downstairs she presented herself before Piper and Malik with a grin, random pieces of jewelry shaking as she came to a stop. "Ready."
He lay there for a while, his head resting on his father's chest, listening to the heartbeat beneath his cheek and feeling his whole body rise and fall with the breaths the bigger drow took. Silence reigned and he wondered briefly what Zara was doing. He was always doing that, looking to her, wondering what she was up to, wondering why she took so much time for other things.
He saw her now, in his mind, sitting there with Nym on her lap, petting at him. Her fingernails scratching ever so lightly at the ferret's fragile skin. She'd taken the time to stop reading and shower Nym with affection. Loving affection. "Mother really loves Nym doesn't she?" It was asked, soft as a real whisper, though he never moved his head from its current resting place. "And her horses?"

The elf couldn't believe how well he was playing, granted it wasn't as good as Isle's but he was still doing pretty good, he was able to keep with tempo even when it fluxed from time to time, though at the same time he was learning too, new notes and new patterns were flowing into his ears where his mind was able to store, gotta love that elven memory.
Though he kept on playing not caring about what he was learning or how Isle may be better, he just gave what he had with him and it came out the best way he could ever play, and with the song that Isle chose it was going along just fine. But he could tell when the music was ending, the way the pitch and octaves were changing as if he was opened up to a whole new world, but Arthur kept on playing even after Isle had stopped he just let his fingers continuing to dance along the neck while the bow slid across the strings.
After awhile he knew he had to stop so he waited until he reached the right note and dragged it on until it was done, when he finished he was greeted by that lovely laugh that he had come accustomed to and her comment made the tip of his ears go red. "I'd say the same about you but yours was beyond being beautiful..." Slowly he put the violin and the bow into the case and wandered over to Isle, when he reached her he extended his hand out towards her and when she grabbed it he pulled her up but when she was standing she was a little close than normal. Smiling lightly Arthur brought up his hands and placed them on the sides of Isle's face, waiting for a moment he leaned forwards and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience with me." He whispered lightly though when he pulled back he didn't seem to let go until he noticed what he was doing, lowering his arms he blushed lightly and stared down at the ground.

His wandering mind was brought back to his son as the little voice his ears were so attuned to hit his ears once more. "Yes, I suppose she does." Though really, what was not to love about that ferret...except the fact that he played favorites from time to time. But still lightly petting at the child's hair as they half laid there. "And he horses. She's always loved them." Zahara and her horses...oh how they were her weakness. Moving the boy up some as he had slid down from Sevilin's reclained angle.
She waved a hand dismissively at his compliment, rather used to hearing it. But she did reach up and take his hand, letting him pull her up from the floor, the gold colors of her capes flashing lightly with movement as they settled back around her in thier common places. Though she blinked a few times as she felt him frame her face and then again as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. Well she dare say that was unexpected and rather a chaste action on his part, sure took her by surprise. Which of course made her blush some and in turn, turn her ear tips a shade to make her hair as well as staining her cheeks pink. But she was quick to raise a hand and try to rub it away. "Don't mention it Galesen...though if you are that good on human grade, I can imagine how fabulous you would be on elven."

Being this close to Isle made Arthur feel nervous, everytime he was around a beautiful woman he couldn't help it, it must be because he was raised by humans he never expected an elf woman to be so hauntingly beautiful. Slowly the elf looked back up to his music partner and smiled lightly as he noticed that her cheeks were colored a light pink and her ear had changed colour as well, that meant one thing and he wanted to find out about it. "Thank you that means a lot Isle...though I bet I'm far from your skills..." He allowed his voice to trail off as he raised a hand to brush some of her hair back so he can push it over her ear, once he saw the sensitive appendage he place his fingers behind it and slowly made them travel up until he reached the tip. "Huh it's lavender..." He mentioned softly as he began to rub it lightly with his fingers tips, as always Arthur liked playing with and elf's ears since they are such a sensitive part of their body, and Isle's should be no exception. "If you want me to stop, just say the word..." He told her as his figners began to rub even more of that playful appendage.

That was the answer he'd been expecting even waiting for. He knew it himself, he'd just needed his father to confirm it for him. And once he had that was all he needed to hear. The trail of questions would eventually lead him back to the one he didn't want to ask though he desperately wanted the answer. Fear kept him from voicing his curioisty and instead he allowed himself to squelch the need to know. Falling back into that comfortable silence he let himself be shifted and moved to Daddy's liking then cuddled and clung once again. He'd just fall into reverie like this and everything would be just fine in his little world. Well, as fine as it could be.

"I've been exposed since I was concieved." Giving a little laugh at that. Though another few series of blinks as she felt his finger sliding along her ear up it's length to it's tip. "Of course it's lavender...my skin may be blue up there but my blood is still red." Giving a little shrug. But then he took to rubbing at her ear tips...sure, it felt good...but it also hurt. And for an express purpose. Thus she grabbed his hand by the wrist and pulled it away. "Stop..." Wrinkling her nose and twiching her ears in slight pain. After all, she wore a lot of earrings up there for that purpose to keep people off of them as a precaution. "Sorry, king of painful, lot of metal up there."
They lay there for a little big longer, more or less enjoying each other's company, Sevilin contemplating. Yes...Zykariel was indeed perhaps the one thing that brought him complete happiness...that boy was his world. They needed each other...truth be told. Zykariel needed Sevilin to take care of him, and Sevilin needed Zykariel to remind himself that life wasn't so terrible and there were indeed things to live for.
But a look down to the boy who was lazily laying on his chest and he pat the boy's back, jostling him a little big to get his attention before sitting up some. "You want to go on a ramble, learn some new things?" Male bonding rituals, how cute. And just to sweeten the deal. "You don't have to wear your cloak, if you don't want to."

Arthur lightly smiled when she sad stop, even though he wish he could go on he had to respect her wishes. "Alright I will, sorry about that Isle." Slowly he pulled his away from Isle after being free from her grip around his wrist and allowed it to hang by his side, his eye watching her in silence a little before he stepped back and wandered over to his violin case, placing everything back properly before shutting it. "Well since you've been exposed since you were conceived I don't know how I'll be able to catch up to you in skills." a small chuckle at that as he grabbed the case by the handle and let it hung by his side as he turned to her. "Again I must thank you for playing with me, it's an experience I'll never forget for the rest of my life." There was that smile of his again, he has had a good time today with Isle and nothing could ruin it, though one thing stilled bugged him, what the hell are they going to do now?

Even without the promise of no cloak, Zykariel was already shouting yes in his mind. He loved it when Daddy took him on rambles. Sometimes he got to do really fun things like catch little fuzzy animals and it was always fun to be out with him. Nodding enthusiastically he grinned at his father and hopped off his lap.
"I gotta wear a shirt though, Underdark is no place to be half naked. And boots." Skipping off upstairs, he yanked a shirt out of his drawer and pulled it on inside out then grabbed his boots and raced back downstiars, plopping on the couch and pulling on his boots before tying them quickly. "Ready!"

"Stop your flattering." Giving another giggle at that before she gave a sigh and ran a hand back through purple colored bangs and on back through silvery white. As Galesen went about putting away his violin, she went about strapping her flute back to herself and then plopping back in the chair that was behind her, leaning back with her arms splayed along the back of the chair, her capes more or less flared on the cushions around her. "So then, shall we do lunch? I may not be able to tell what time it is now at all, but I do know that my stomach knows it's own time." ANother giggle from her ever as she reached over to her belts and rummaged a pouch again, coming out with a small pouch, opening it and popping something clear and tear shaped into her mouth. "You cook or like most men do you lack that fine ability?"
He gave a chuckle as the boy got up and ran off, then another when he came back. "Indeed you do...but," Sitting up and reaching to the boy, pulling off his shirt and turning it right side out before putting it back on him, "you don't want to go out wearing your clothes the wrong way." Waiting for the boy to get his boots on before he got up himself and walked with his son to the foyer where Sevilin pulled on his own boots and his half jacket as well, taking a moment to merely pull his hair back and tie it at the nape of his neck. "Hand." Waiting for the boy's hand before opening the door and heading out with him. "Alright, you get to lead the way."

Zykariel fought his father for a moment, exhibiting that independent streak that balked at not being able to keep it the way he himself had done it. But Daddy was right and it was silly of him to put his shirt on inside out anyway. Mother must have done laundry last since Daddy would have had it folded precisely and he could have just pulled it on and been fine. Slipping his hand into his father's he eagerly tugged Daddy through the different doors and tunnels leading to the front of their 'cave' and out into the big wide Underdark.
"Let's go 'xploring." Not really sure where they were going to end up he started walking. If something caught his interest he'd stop. "Hey Daddy? What's that?" Pointing of course to a sickly looking tree shaking like something was up in its branches. "Can you see what it is?" Craning his head back and plopping a hand over his eyes, not to shade them from anything but because that's what explorers did.

"How can I when you are such an amazing woman?" That was a true statement, Isle is so amazing at playing music and she is really beautiful to boot! No wonder why people keep on showering her with comments. "Besides I got your ears to turn lavender once, I want to do it again, I find it cute when it does that." He said with a light chuckle as he decided to place the case back down, no need to get rid of it now, what if they wanted to play again later? Though when she asked about lunch Arthur had to think about that for a second, he had completely forgotten about lunch time! But he looked at Isle with a puzzled look on his face when she popped something tear shaped into her mouth before asking if he can cook. "Of course I can cook, I'm one of those men who were smart enough to learn that ability! Though one question what did you put into your mouth?" Yup that clear tear shaped thingy was bugging him.

"Exploring." Correting the word as he let the boy indeed lead, holding to his hand so he didn't go running off to fast, and well in case something he really wasn't going to like happened. Though when he wanted to stop, they stopped, when he asked a quetion, he got an answer. As was their current course of action it seemed.
And thus Sevilin turned his gaze upward to peer at what his son was seeing, of course his eyes were a bit keener. "It's a bat. See, there's more than one of them." Pointing out a few more to the boy. "See them? They're the bigger ones. You gotta watch out for those."
"You haven't even know me a full day and you already speak so strongly. Apparently I hold nothing back when meeting someone, if this is the case." A smile before brushing her hair from her face again before a touch to her ears at his mentioning of them. "Amazing how such a common thing is so spectacular to another." After all, where she came from almost every moon elf had blue tipped ears. "Oh a chef are you. Gormet or on the go chef is the true question." Before a blink to the bag in her hand. "Terra bud drops, want one?" Offering the bag up to him. "Don't chew it, just hold it in your cheek and swallow. If you chew you won't eat for the next three days." Of course merely swallowing it while holding it in your cheek only provided that feeling of taking a drink of water.

He nodded as he gazed up at the creatures flapping around in the tree. "Some of them look icky." He tilted his head but like most children soon lost interest in the bats who were doing the exact same thing in different spots of the tree. Thus onto the rest of the Underdark!
He walked for a little ways and then came upon a gaggle of rocks. Scrambling up on the highest ones he grinned at hsi father. "Look Daddy, I'm big like you now." Plopping his hands on his hips the way Mother always did when she had done something she was proud of. "Neat huh?" He gazed out and whistled shrilly. "Wow, Daddy. You can see all that?" Encompassing the wide expanse of the Underdark. "I can't wait till I'm actually as big as you!"
So involved in his new vantage point, he didn't see the snake that was laying coiled on another area of the rocks and continued to dance around on top of it even while the snake sensed prey and slowly began to slither up the rocks. Little drow was highly tasty after all, but a definite delicacy. Fangs bared, it slithered closer and prepared to strike with a evil hiss.
