Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arthur sighed lightly and raised his hands for a second. "Everyone just stop for one second please?" He asked them all and waited until they were silenced before he continued. First he turned down to little Lark and patted her head. "Little one things are different down here than up on the surface, we actually buy things with steel down there than trade as you wanted to. It's just a common misunderstanding sweetie okay?" A small kiss on her head to try and calm the little one down so she wouldn't cry, that was the last thing he wanted Piper to know about. Turned towards Isle he gave her a 'Listen to me' look before actually saying. "Listen Isle you are out of your element here, things are different down here than up on the surface, people act differently so you can't expect them to be the same from the people you know on Andal. Please I'm not asking you for much, apologize to the man he doesn't know who Lark really is, as he as put it he gets things stolen from him all the time, having a business down here is taking a major risk so try just put yourself in his shoes for just a second." He sighed a little before taking a small breath before turning to Tym.

"Ah Tym it has been awhile hasn't it? It seems that your stand is still in good shape is it not?" Of course Arthur was referring to those times he kept on breaking Tym's stand while playing in the market place as a little boy. "Listen I'm sorry for what my friend has caused you, it is hard running your type of business I know I've seen you go through hard times, now my little friend here Lark is new to the Underdark and was doing exactly what she does from where she came from which is the surface..." He trailed off as he crouched down and asked the little elf if she wanted to sit on her shoulder, when she agreed he popped her on to it and stood straight again to Tym can see her. "Now listen old friend, first her pearls are real, I know her father and he would never give anything fake to her, second I will pay you 1200 steel to cover the trouble that has happened here and three can you please apologize to little Lark? She's just a child and she doesn't want this to bother her because she thinks it's her fault, which really it's all just a misunderstanding..." A small pause as he looked at Lark with a smile before back towards Tym. "So think you can do that?"

Though at that moment Arthur felt something within his coat, pulling it out he was holding a link crystal in his hand, once he activated it Zahara's voice came roaring through and his face winched a little bit. "Ummm Zahara now is not the time to be talking like this, I'm in a bit of a bind here in Honorsfeild where me, Malik, Malikhai, Piper, her sister, Isle have gone to so we can see the Oracle and now I'm talking little Lark and Isle on the tour of the marketplace so please can I call you back some other time? I'll explain everything later." And with that he cut the link off, hoping that Zahara wouldn't be angry at him for doing that.

She let her features melt into an emotionless mask as Galesen again turned to her and lectured her. Somehow she liked it that he took the chance to boss her around when men usually backed down to her...but that didn't mean that she was any less pissed about it. And alook to Lharika, walking back over and taking her from Galesen's shouders, holding her and cuddling her a moment. She huffed out irritatedly and looked to the vendor as he proceeded to insult her. But hey the important thing is that she didn't have to apologize.

Thus she set Lark down and pet her on the head. "Don't worry, these people just don't know how wonderful Kieran really is." Tapping her nose lightly. "Now dry those tears, don't let silly people make you cry." But a look as she was addressed. "Isleandra." Then a nod. "Some people erase thier benifit of the doubt before they even get it." Though her attention shifted as Zahara literllay popped up. "Wow, Zahara is on the warpath today...I suppose hellos can wait."

"I can cook over an open fire anyday. I used to go on long long trips for days at a time sometimes and I had to cook for myself. I cook good when I'm outside...open flame is easier for me. I don't need that fancy kitchen cooking. Now watch." Constructed more or less of a rack over the flames with stones and stone shards, as well as feeding the fire a bit more. Then handing some of those herbs he had to his son. "Here, squish these." As he was throwing the fish ontop of the quickly heating rocks.

Lark nodded to Isle and smiled through her tears, much happier. "You're right Isle, they just don't know Daddy Kieran." She hugged the woman tightly around her waist and then slipped her hand into hers.

Melody smiled. "Pleasure to meet you Isleandra. I'm Melody, Gavin's daughter. You were exposed to him very briefly over there." She glanced back towards her father and grinned, though her eyes reflected brief fear. "She's drow..."

Zykariel wasn't sure if he believed his father but he was tempted to see just what his father was going to do. He took the herbs and squeezed them really tightly then accidentally dropped htem on top of the fish cooking. "Oops...sorry Daddy..."

Zahara glared at Arthur. "Now you listen to me. First of all, I don't wait for later. If I call you and you don't have time, don't pick up the stone. SEcondly, you hung up on me. Why would you think I would let that go?" She shook her head. Very close to picking Arthur up and shoving him into the nearest stand. She clenched her teeth and glared at him. "Did he say anything to you about planning on doing something later today. You talked to him. Do you know anything. Anything Arthur would be of great help in this situation. I dont' know where they are!"

Arthur was seriously going to blow his top if Zahara wouldn't tone down her voice just a little, he did not need her to start bitching at him because of a few things he did here and there that got her mad by mistake. But before he could open his mouth Isle had come over and started to speak to the drow, giving her own comment onto why he had to hung up, but when she bat her eyelash at him a little that made the redness on his ears grow just a tiny bit. "She’s right, we were having a bit of a problem so I needed all of my attention focused on trying to protect them." Well he was calmed down for now, thank the gods Isle decided to step in she's a life saver, but there was still the issue of where her son and the father were at. "Well we talked but Sevilin didn't speak of any plans he was going to have with your son, it seems to me this was a whole spur of the moment kind of thing they did. Did you check the river? They may have gone there." Well he and Zahara had been to the river many of times and it stretched for a nice long distance, maybe they went there to spend sometime together.

Ha, she made him blush again. That was going to become a past time. But her look turned back to Zahara and she reached out, patting her friend on the shoulder. "No hard feelings then, you're worried you can hear it in your voice." Though then it seemed to hit her. "Sevilin? Oh! So the one I met and the father of...the kid...is the same person. Silly me." And yes she was careful how to mention said child, after all, she remembered how detached Zahara wanted to be. "I'm sure they're fine Zahara. Boys will be boys after all."

"Just wait a bit more." Hey patience was important when cooking, even Zahara said that. But it only took about five more minutes before Sevilin fished the fish out of the fire with his dagger, flopping it over onto another rock, going about splitting it open and carving out a chunck of meat for the boy, "Careful now, it's hot...and don't eat the scales."

"Yes he is the same person. In fact I heard you met Zykariel already. He can be quite the handful." Though she shook her head and spun on Arthur. "I am not worried, I am furious. Do you think it's every day that someone misses my meals. That just doesn't happen beside it's particularly rude for them to do that. I don't like rude." She huffed out a breath and shook her head then turned for Faete. "But if you don't know where they are then you are of no further use to me. Isle, I'll catch up with you later. Link me when you're back at Twilight."

He picked up some patience from somewhere and calmed down a bit, tapping his hand idly against his pants before finally Daddy decided the fish was done cooking and began to slice into it. "It smells really good." He took the meat with his fingers, juggling it lightly because it was really hot and then nibbled part of it. His lips split in a crooked grin. "It is good. You can cook Daddy!"

Kora frowned at the soaken patch of her shirt... and the teeth that were clamped onto it. She could feel each of Deidrick's warm humid breaths. Her bottom lip trembled involuntairly. She didn't feel hungry anymore.


"Hey... give the girl a break. I'm sure she's not as bad as you think she is."


Kora gained a little confidence from Rusty's comment. Maybe she could wiggle out of this, yet.

"There wouldn't be coins if I've spent them, no?"

She chose her words carefuly. Not a lie, not the truth. There was something about Deidrick's intent stare that made her cower, just then.

Zahara was to say the least not a happy drow. She was not about to go scouring the underdark for the men...and then she decided what the hell she might as well. Faete was urged on and she began looking for the errant boys.

Lharika glanced at Zahara for a moment and then grinned at Isle. "Isn't it pretty Isle?" Showing off her necklace.

Melody smiled at Isle and smoothed down Lharika's hair. "Everything alright?" She raised an eyebrow at Arthur and then smiled. "It's all been just fine really, Arthur though you know me, always into one kind of trouble or another," she said with a grin. "As for Daddy, well why dont' you ask him yourself?"

Zykariel ate the rest of his and nodded quite happily then holding out his hand for more. Taking the piece offered he nibbled pieces of that and grinned. "Does this mean you're going to start cooking all the time now Daddy? Or is Mother going to take back over when we get back home?"
