Arthur nodded towards Gavin in understanding and smiled. "Of course Isle is way better than me in music, she has been at it ever since she was born right Isle?" He asked as he turned back towards the elf for a moment, though he did catch Melody tone of voice when she spoke and he looked towards her saying. "You sure? Can't you stay?" But his question fell on death ears when she got up and just walked away with no answer to his question. Scratching his head just a little bit the elf turned towards Gavin and smiled, Lark just looked so cute with the human, the contrast between their sizes made it look so cute, and when she talked to him he just wanted to hug little Lark. But when Gavin asked them a question he just gave a small shrug since he really didn't know. "Well for m it's until Lark's sister call us back, but like I said before I will back one of these days to see you guys again, don't think I've forgotten about you two." He said with a small chuckle, Gavin was one of his best friends that he had made throughout the many years he was here in Honorsfeild, and it will be a sad day for him when he passes away.

Lharika frowned at Isle. "I'm a Princess so I get to say when I go home." She paused for a second and then smiled, all traces of her earlier pout gone. "Of cousre if Daddy Kieran misses me then I have to go home."
"Well ye're both more than welcome to stay around here as long as ye like. Me home is always open to ye Artie me boy. Ye know that. And Isle, ye're welcome too. Don't worry none 'bout Melody. She'll come off it in time." He knew what was afflicting his daughter but he would respect her privacy enough not to speak of it.

She held up a finger. "You may be a princess, but your sister is a bigger and older princess. She can say when you go home." Sticking her tongue out in childlike fashion at the young elf. But a nod as the little elf mentioned Kieran. She would do anything that elf asked her too, Lharika was quite keen of Kieran. But then a nod at Gavin. "Nice to know, who knows when I'll need a new blade or something of the sorts."

"Indeed I am. Onyx, black as the stone itself. and my name will live on before me, and behind me."
A snicker though getting popped again.
"Okay. it's a good name. cause Piper says so."
though he gave a bit of a purr swooping around the younger elf on all fours, claws clacking on stone. and a sniff.
"I smell something familiar. something that is common with your old man. the smell of fire tempered metal. that ash gives it an odor you know. and around your hands too."
"That's enough of that, Onyx. You know son, you can swat him if you want."
Though he was about ready to pop the feline himself. damn them cats and thier noses.

"Ah if only I was a prince...the things I would do..." A small paused as he did the 'staring off into space' look then with a small chuckle he shook his head lightly before placing his head in his pockets. "Well I'm not so lucky so I'm happy with what I got." Though he blinked a few times when Gavin mentioned something about Melody. "Oh alright..." Just what was wrong with Melody? He cared for her like he did a little sister, he watched her grow from a child until he left Honorsfeild when at the moment it was Lostgrace. Sighing lightly he looked around the old smith shop, oh how he loved this place and will never forget what has happened here for the rest of his life, and the weapons he saw getting make here by Gavin and the pervious owner was amazing, he wished he could take up being a smith but at the moment it wasn't on his to do list. "Yup Gavin makes really good weapons, I remember when he made his first short sword and allowed me to practice with it...well in the end I broke it by mistake...oh what a fun day that was..." A light smile and a chuckle as he watched Gavin with a nervous look, that man was proud of his weapons. "But he has gotten better ever since then, I find his weapons to be of good quality." Yup Arthur loved his friends weapons, Gavin was a man who took pride in his work and made sure that what he worked on got extra attention and well care for so the customer would be happy in the end.

"Was your Daddy a king or lord Arthur? Sometimes your daddy could be a lord and you wouldn't even know it. That's what happened to me. I wasn't a Princess but now I am."
Gavin shook his head and sighed. "I told ye before Artie, that's only because I used a really cheap metal that I'll never be usin' again." He shook his head and stood then walked over to the forge at the back of the shop and pumped the bellows, before removing one of his swords from the flames and holding it's red hot blade aloft. Striking it against the stone wall of the smithy, he watched the sparks and then put it back in the fire. "I make the best weapons of anyone around here. Except for elves a course." A smile at Isle. "After all, elven smiths be well known as the best ever."

Survival instinct ping as Onxy dropped down and more or less took to stalking the boy and he darted between his father's legs to try and create a barrier, though Onyx would only catch him on the other side. So he decided to then hold his ground, but also hold onto his father's pant leg once more for that security feeling. A look up to daddy as he mentioned hitting was okay...and well mommy did it so it must be okay, thus if Onyx got too close, he got swatted at. "So I smell like daddy, that's good. Ashlyn says I smell like dirt and cookies."
Piper yes was amused. It was cute kinda to watch Onyx giving the boy a run for his money and then the boy also taking his own measures of defense. But it was oh so cute to watch the boy clutching to his father, seeking that sense of security and wholly trusting in Malik to keep him safe should he need it. Though a reach out to scratch as the spot between Onyx's wings...yes she knew how to disable a Vah with no problem. Well..winged ones anyway. "Now Onyx, stop it...honestly is that anyway to act after not even dropping by for so much as a hello in the last there years?"
"Flattery, how nice. Well...only perhaps because we only use the best metals and our blades are often imbuned and enchanted to a degree. The key to a good weapon is to make it deadily beautiful and decieving." A chuckle and a pat at the crescent moon-esk hand guard on the hilt of her own longsword at her side. "Of course a weapon is nothing if it is in hands that folly the blade."

Arthur paused for a moment before turning o Lark and smiling a little nervously. "Well little one I never knew my real parents, they passed away when I was a young lad but I was picked up by humans which lead me to being raised here in Honorsfeild. I wished I knew who my parents were, but I am forever happy for the people who took me in and raised me the best they could." Yup Arthur was really happy to have been saved by his adoptive parents, if it wasn't for them he wouldn't know where he would be today, he could of been dead for all he knows. "Well still you worked really hard to make that sword Tiny, and it bothered me to have broken it after...what twenty minutes of using it?" He said as he wandered around the shop until he stood a couple of feet from where Gavin was working so he wouldn't be hurt by the sparks flying until he placed the blade back in the fire. "He's right, this man has made a lot of weapons that many people ranging from the lowest on the social ladder to the highest have come to pay for. He's known very well around these parts and Melody..." He paused for a moment to look around, he was very worried about her and hoped she be coming back. "Well Melody I've seen her work she’s doing good too, gotta have someone take up the craft eh Tiny?" Though he turned lightly towards Isle and smiled. "Well that’s the only thing that should separate the elven weapons from humans is the magic woven into them, if humans could do the same thing I bet that both races would make really good weapons." Hey Arthur had grown up around some people who loved to go out there and collect rare weapons or get some custom made by those who were famous for their craft, he knew that sometimes even a blade that doesn't look fancy can be really powerful, it's all how the person can use it.

Okay, feline on the ground purring with his eyes half closed.
"cheaterrrrrr. And I've been busy as a beaverrr."
Malik smirked lightly, patting his son on the shoulder.
"See, mom can handle any animal."
"Hey! I am not an animal!"

Hmmm...no we were still going to cling to daddy's leg for a bit more. Though he did tilt his head and give a giggle as Onyx more or less plopped to the floor, making that purring noise he had heard before. "But you're furry all over and you have a kitty face. How come you're not an animal if you look like one?" Yes let's introduce concepts. And a tilt of his head. "What's a beaver?"
Of course she was indulging the feline...she couldn't help it. "And I've been raising a child, you think I've been any less busy? You spend your time skirt chasing and so on and I don't get so much as a hello. Silly boy, I should tell your father on you, I'm sure you know what he would think." Messing with him just because he could. "At least your wings look better." Giving him mercy then and stopping her scratching, standing back up herself.

Lharika's eyes went sad for a moment and she slipped off teh desk adn walked over to Arthur, throwing her arms around his legs. "My parents died too but it's okay 'cause Daddy Kieran took me in and now I can see Mommy, Daddy, and baby brother when I reverie sometimes." She smiled up at him. " Besides, if you don't know who your real parents are you might be a Prince. Then you could marry Isle. She's a princess, you know."
Gavin nodded, "No, I don't think so. I be of the mind that if a human had the magic and things that makes their weapons so grand, they still wouldn't be anythin' like the weapons made by yer kind. Ye elves jest give it somethin' extra. I kin never compare to an elf's worksman-ship."

Isle blinked at the statement made by the child and then a giggle. "Now now, you know I'm not a princess, I merely live in the house of one." After all, she really wasn't. But her look turned to Gavin once more. "Call it an affinity we can form for our work. We elves live for our crafts and such after all." A melodic little laugh before a little sigh.

Arthur was caught off guard when little Lharika threw her arms around his legs, pausing for a brief moment the older elf then looked down with a light smile at the tiny girl when she spoke her kind words, but when she mentioned about him getting married to Isle he happened to look up at the other elf and a blush formed gently over his cheeks, well that hit a little tender spot in him didn't it? So hoping that she didn't notice the elf looked down at the same child and petted her head lightly. "Well I do see my parents to when I reverie but rarely, I got more memories of living here than actually being with my parents. But as for marrying Isle well..." A light pause as he looked back at her once again and gave a small shrug. "We'll have to see about that one day wont we?" He said with a light chuckle and smiled before looking at his old friend. "Well my man you still make some of the best weapons I have ever seen, no one can change my mind about that." It was true, Arthur respected Gavin a lot and loved how the man poured his heart into his work. Well after a moment or two Arthur checked his internal clock to see how long they have been out, noticing what time it was he was thinking they should be heading back. "Ummm well guys I hate to be breaking all of this up but Lark, Isle I think it's time we should leave, we don't want Piper to worry about you guys right?" a light smile was on his face when he had wandered over to his friend and gave him a nice hug. "It was great seeing you again Tiny, I'll hopefully see you soon, just keep that strong heart going alright? and please say goodbye to Melody for me, I really wish I could give her a proper farewell" The visit back home was over due and he never got to go anywhere else and meet some of his other friends, but he expects that Gavin would spread the word about his arrival, he was a good man like that.

Malik pulled up a chair for this one. It should be quite interesting.
Onyx looked at Piper and lowered his ears.
"Okay, I'll come visit more often and be all perky and friendly."
Then back to teh child, getting himself back up on all fours. at least, then settling into a sitting position on teh floor, his tail tip twitching.
"Because unlike base animals, and thier spirits, I possess a higher intelligence..and am capable of knowing right and wrong. for example, a large feline would have tried to eat you at first opportunity. or slunk away form your parents to wait for a more opportune moment."
Casually unsheathing his claws on one hand for that.
"I can use tools and complex armors, weapons, speech, and skills. adn I have an oposable thumb..oh, and I can do things for more than survival alone."
A grin.
"and a beaver is a small mammal with buckteeth and a large flat tail that it uses to pound rocks, twigs, and other such brush into dams and dens near and aroudn large bodies of water and river. it is a very industrious species, appearing to constatly be at work on said dams or dens."
"Bravo, you know something that your father taught you."
A snort to Malik.
