"Ah yes...that does sound like my Malik. I'd really have to worry if you skipped around the house, giving everyone a day off and a pat on the head." Okay that was a half funny half frightening picture in one's head now wasn't it? Very. Though a blink as he put forth a certain concern about this surface thing. Well...that was something new to her now wasn't it? "Why...would we move to the surface?" Another slow blink at that. "Did I give off the over eager impression that that's what I was going to try and get you to do when this was all over and done?" Tilting her head slightly in question in Piper-esque fashion. Though not dwelling on one thing and continuing on. "Well...I'm not too comfortable with the others either, after all I am the outsider of the group but the apparent little ring leader. You know how impatience, jealousy and a sense of lack of accomplishment can influence others to act on a leading figure."

"But what did she see Daddy? How come she wanted to hurt us and don't tell me she didn't 'cause I saw her face. She had the look that Mr. Malik got when I had that accident and pushed Malikhai. I don't like that look at all. Is it ever going to come back?" He glanced down at his hands and shook his head. "Or is it just that her Lloth side is coming back out? Mr. Malik said the women did that someitmes..."
He buried his head in his father's shoulder. "I want my Zara not the other kind. I don't like that one at all!"

"Son, women do a lot of things that make us want to question what is really going on." Wasn't that the damned truth...he hated it. But he soothingly pet at the boy's hair as he went about trying to hide in his shoulder. "I don't like that one either...but she merely saw an illusion of sorts. Sometimes when people get very very angry or upset, they think they see something, but it's not really there. She looked at me and saw someone else." But a shrug and another pet for his son. "It may come back...but don't worry, I'll protect you. You know I'd do anything for you, right?"

"Well that's just silly. We should understand what's goign on with women, they're just like us aren't they?" He pulled his head back and met his father's eyes, looking him over with very close scrutiny. "But who did she see, Daddy? You don't look like nobody else that I've ever seen..." Then he gave the first half crooked grin since he'd been called down to that room in the basement at Twilight. "I know you would, Daddy. It's cause I love you as big as the Underdark and beyond."

He gave a chuckle, and a hug to his son, petting through his hair again. "Yes we should be able to understand what's going on with women, but it's not like that and no they're not like us. They're complicated." Grimacing a bit before turning his attention back to his son again. At least he knew someone who wasn't a complete headache.
"And there are a lot of elves that look like me, you just haven't met them yet. You see, us drow all have dark skin, light hair and mostly red eyes. We all kinda look alike." Ruffling the child's hair. "Big as the underdark and beyond huh? How do you know that beyond is bigger?"

"I know you miss it, and you know the Oracle, and most of them are going to move to it when it is 'reborn'. That's why I mentioned...as for the rest, that's not what concerns me most. it's that your going to be thrust into the leadership role, and have no idea what's been done and what's going on or needs to be done becyuase she won't divulge any information to you."
though a smirk.
"I don't skip. if I start skipping, hit me with something large and heavy."

"I may miss it from time to time, but that doesn't mean that's where I want to be. We've talked about this before and you know my answers. There's no reason for you to doubt those answers A'mael. And if the others do move there...well I can always visit now can't I? This is home and that's all there is to it." Giving a little nod to that. "I doubt she would keep absolutely everything from me because say....something horrific would happen...not that I'm saying something would or is, I'm just throwing that one out there. I'm sure I'll at least get a skeleton structure of things." Though a smile to his smirk. "I'll use the table if you do." Patting said table.

"I don't and neither does she. And Mr. Malik has blue skin and he's a drow and so does Malikhai and he's a drow." That point was made, now wasn't it? On to the next thing. "Then any man she sees could make her think of you too, right? Which would mean that she would be mean to someone else..." Hmm, maybe that could get another man to come live with them that she could yell at and hit and scold. That might work and save Daddy from being her whipping boy all the time. He didn' tknow what that meant but he'd heard it down at Twilight and it sounded bad.
He filed away the information that women were complicated, that was most likely going to be needed at some point or another and Daddy knew everything so he'd be wise to take that bit of advice. Though he grinned, "I don't. I'm just covering all my bases in case it is.

"think you coudl even lift said table to wack me with?"
A chuckle, and a shake of his head, finishing off his dinner, and drinking at his wine glass.
"And something horrific better not happen. Or I'm going to do something horrific to a certain human woman."
A slight frown at that. but on to other things.
"How are you likeing the new adjustments to home? the expansions and such? nothing I hope bothers you about any of it?"

"Well you see...there are different types of drow in some cases. But most of us, look like me. Very easy to get us all mixed up sometimes." It was hard being lighthearted about something such as this. Seeing as he particularly didn't want to talk about it anyway. Though a blink at his son as he tried to work things out in his head. "I suppose that could happen..."
But a grin back at Zykariel at his little statement. "Covering your bases huh? You don't even really know what that means." One of those phrases that they heard from thier parents or someone else and felt like the situation sounded good to say it in. "But that's okay right? Right. Now, we should do some work then. You can work on your writing, and I'll work on my runes. How's that sound?" Needed to work.
"I don't have to lift the table, just have to whack you into it. Shouldn't be too hard, especially if you're skipping." Oh the picture in her head deserved a chuckle as she gave his hand a squeeze and him another laugh as well. "And I don't hold it againt you that you would want to do horrific things...I think I find it rather romantic in a certain perhaps twisted sense. Then again that's the way of things down here and explains oh so much about how I should feel." Rationalization by Underdark law was a wonderful thing. But another smile to him. "You know I'm enjoying it. Seems having kids was a wonderful idea for you. Brought out your half forgiving creative side and what not." Of course she had to poke at him. "Though you know, I really don't even know how far out you are these days...occupied with Malikhai and what not mostly you know. He can be a handful some days." Yeah...she needed to just go out riding one day.

"True enough."
Though a grin at her comment about malikhai.
"He is his father's son, after all. and we go a pretty good stretch now. expansion is always a good thing when one can afford to. we have a fairly large spread of territory now."

Gezz it seemed that Isle had every counter and attack pre-planed before they even began the fight, her movements were so fluid and on the dot it's hard to believe she could do all of this without breaking a sweat. This was how Arthur felt as he saw Isle squirm her arms out of his grasp, causing his arms to slack and caused him to lose his katana somewhere in the dirt, and yet before he knew it he could feel himself being flipped onto the ground and without even the slightest pause he was shoved over and into the dirt, but he quickly got up and grabbed his katana going right back into ready mode as he watched Isle who was just smiling at him. "Wow you said that you wanted me to impress you? Well it's actually the other way around right now, you're really good!" Well all of that was said when he attacked her again but this time he didn't do any lunges of any sort, he went in for short attacks to find any openings he could exploit. Though it was during one of these short attacks that he switched it up and went in closer as he brought his katana at Isle in a horizontal slash while his position his feet for an easy stance and yet for quick exit if she was able to counter attack him.

"And as his father's son, he's just as much trouble and fuss as said father in almost everyway...though on a far less wrathful level he makes up for it with duration." That boy could certainally throw a tantrum when he wanted to for a period of time that was long and drawn out. Though Piper had developed her ways of dealing with that. Though wasn't it nice to hear that from Malik? Of course. Why? Because in Malik's case he feared being his father's son, but was okay about his own son. Was a good thing indeed. "Really...and to think I haven't gone out and seen every little bit just to ebb those every now and then feelings of restlessness. I'll have to take Serino out sometime." Hm, could probably drag Zahara with her and see if she could get anything out of her. Had to watch out for that dagger thoguh. "So then, are you content with your spread or does the conqueror in you still want more right now?" Wasn't it funny how she was comfortable asking those kinds of things?
Isleandra simply gave a giggle. "Really now? I'm just going with what I know. When in battle, your weapon is not only in your hands but your whole being. All needs to be finely tuned and in sync with one another. Or else, you shall fail at battle." Taking a light hop step back as he advanced on her, but no more than that, bringing her sword up to defend against his strokes, even being so bold as to use her forearm as a blocker against the flat of his blade when the opportunity arose. Though at his change of movement, she ducted under the blade and quickly crouched, kicking one foot out to catch on his ankle and then pulled herself to his side by bending her knee and popping back into stance to his left, half turning and her blad following, coming down from over her shoulder and toward his own. Isle fought close for a reason.

"More, when the assets and needs require. eventually, if this surface stuff works...we'll spread to the Penninsula. then to Honoursfield and Deepwater as the lands are vacated. Then I'll be plenty satisfied."
A grin.
"So...what is your pleasure now that dinner's almost done?"

A raise of an eyebrow. "Oh so that's your grand plan is it? Once they go all happy over the surface and promptly move up there, you're just going to take over all the underdark and rule supreme eh? Quite the plan love." Giving a giggle to that. Now wasn't that just like Malik? Indeed it was. Oh how she loved it. "Could I bother you for your company or are there more important matters to attend to of the business sorts?" Hey she was just happy spending some time with him sometimes, a few hours in the spas maybe, who knew the agenda. If things progressed then well they did. Or if they got interuppted then they did. It was all a game of chance these days with children in the house, never knowing when they needed attention. When it itself that could be quite the mood booster itself couldn't it? What with the urgency involved. "Though I'm sure you could have something more constructive in your head as well."
