Arthur's smile grew a little bigger when he saw Isle smile right at him, she just like to joke like that didn't she? But at least she knew what he meant, he really does love having Isle around as company because he never been with anyone like her before in his entire life and for the past couple of years she was a relief since he has been living with mostly drow all the time. "Oh yes it is...it's great to just enjoy some adult company and have meaningful conversations and the like..." And boy did he feel good with this fire going, it seemed to have gotten him settled down a little more than usual and that was a good thing, besides Arthur liked fire mostly and it was his favorite magic to use when fighting.

A little nod. "I don't know why but today seems to be one of those lazy days I guess..." She seemed to be far away a moment before she closed her eyes and smiled in a blissful manner. "I would be on my boat right now, sailing the seas of Andal...Zephyr winds filling my sails and washing over me. The water would be crystal clear, right down to the bottom...and the sun would be shining down, setting everything aglow as it ran across the sky..." Aw, someone was missing the surface. Isle sighed and opened her eyes. "It's summer in Andal now. Everything would be full of life and on the go." A shake of her head. "It's so different down here..." A little giggle. "Down here it feels like one should just curl up with a good book or good company. Is that how it always is down here?" After all she had been entertaining some rather perhaps foolish ideas...finding a boat and taking on underdark waters for instance.

Arthur nodded and let out a small agreeing grunt, he just felt like doing nothing today and even now the thought of training was going far from his mind, all he wanted to do was sit here and just lightly chat with Isle. Though when he happened to look at the elf his smile turned into a small grin, the sight of Isle sitting there with her eyes closed and that cute smile on her made Arthur watch her for awhile, he couldn't help it if she was cute and all; but he listened in on her talking about going sailing on the seas on Andal, how clear the water would be and the sun shining down on her while she sailed, it made Arthur wish he could go up there sometime soon; but he has been thinking about it lately and made he might write Kieran a letter sometime asking him if he can. "It sounds beautiful...I would love to see that..." He said about both the sailing and about Andal being summer as he tried to picture all of it in his mind. "Well of course you would find it different down here as much as I would find it different if I went up there, at least you are slowly getting use to everything Isle that is a good sign." Though he had to laugh at Isle's question about the Underdark, but she is right about it a little bit, sometimes Arthur does like grabbing a book and just sit near the fireplace and read for a few hours, it's one of those moments he likes when living alone. "Well now that you mention it I do feel like that sometimes...reading a book while in a comfortable atmosphere like this one really sets me nerves at ease..." Though he has tried it one with company before, he and Zahara had slept together while next to a fireplace on some occasions since they never made it to the bedroom and it did feel good, but that was another time right now he was with Isle.

She shrugged lightly, sheathing her sword and more or less leaning over the arm of her chair, just resting there. She hadn't even done her hair today, not put it up it it's usual half ponytail fashion. Let silver and lavendar lay about her ears and face as it wanted. "I suppose. I just miss the sound of waves lapping at the side of a boat, the rush of the water..." Another nostalgic sigh...one would think Isle a sea elf the way she spoke of it. Sailing was second only to music in her passions. Drawing her legs up under her, more or less curled in the chair, her top half resting across the arm and her own arms draped over, fingers almost touching the floor.

Arthur nodded a little bit as he rested his head back into the chair, it felt so good to be him right now, the meaningful conversation, the roar of the fire coming form the fireplace, it just felt really good. Though he gave a half nod to Isle at the mention of what she loved about the sea, he knew exactly what she meant in that area. "I know how you feel Isle, I've been on land for...four years now and I wish I could just take my boat out there and sail around the area right now." He said with a small sigh as he moved slightly in the chair. "You also forgot to mention the steady rocking of the boat when in port, that is if you are sleeping in it during the night, that feels so good too." Right now Arthur was sitting straight in his chair with his head titled back resting near the top, his arms were crossed over his chest while his sword was settled at the side of the chair leaning against the piece of furniture, nothing could spoil the moment right now.

"It's better if you just drop anchor right in the middle of the open sea. Take down your sails, stare at the stars...the rocking there is unmarred by harbor and port pleasantries." But a look over to him, raising her arms above her head and stretching some. "Why don't you ever just go out and sail for a few hours if you have the means to?" She would be out there at least once a day if she could. Back home she usually was.

Arthur paused for a moment as he lowered his head down and stared at the elf across from him and nodded lightly. "Yes there is that as well but these waters are not completely safe to do so, that's why I settled for doing it in port and we don't have stars either remember that Isle?" A small chuckle as he rubbed his neck a little, sitting like that left his neck a little stiff but after a few minutes he should be fine. "Well it would take me a bit of time to have a few things set up, after all its been placed on a beach for awhile now and with everything that I've been doing I don't think I could of." It would be nice to take the boat out for an hour or so but things were different down here and he couldn't disappear for a couple of hours without the others noticing, Malik would have a fit, but if he could find the time where the drow wouldn't notice it at all he would try it out and see what happens.

"Oh." It sounded perhaps slightly disappointed. Hm, she hoped her own boat back home was okay. But with a sigh she sunk down in the chair again...seemed she wasn't going to get any excitment today. Or at least not from Galesen, he seemed content to sit there...and then he would go do that training thing he did. Well then...she took up her sword again and took once more to polishing it with that stuff she had, apparently deciding that the blade wasn't clean enough yet. Seemed Galesen was happy with the quiet anyway, she was probably invading his space or something. Though a passing serf, she did catch the attention of, asking for a glass of slightly warm wine.

The young elf paused for a moment, well things seemed right to take his boat out and sail for an hour or so, Malik wasn't in charged and he didn't know what Piper was doing right now but it seemed that she wouldn't be asking him of any favors right now. Besides Isle seemed to have wanted to go out on his boat, her little "Oh." seemed to have told him that. So would he want to do this? It could impress her of course and they'll both have fun, he just hoped that they wouldn't come across any other sailors that would be happy to take a liking to force themselves aboard. After a moment or so he came to an answer and he grinned lightly. "Well since there is nothing to do lets go down to the beach and get my old boat off the shore, what do you think? Want to go sailing with me for awhile?"

She sipped her wine a bit as they sat there in quiet, the crackling sound of fire being the only real noise. Draining her glass and back to polishing her sword. Though she could only do that but so many times before she sheathed the blade...no sense in over polishing it. And quiet again. Isle tapped her blue tipped fingers on the arm of her chair. Though then she perked up at his words. "I think that's a fine idea...and between us I'm sure that we can get anything in the water," getting herself up. "Care to lead the way?"

Piper a look for a moment before it faded and she sighed. "Yes well it's hard to be jolted from a life you've grown pretty comfortable with into one that you haven't lived for quite a while. The first week is always the hardest in a new place. I'm really fine. I don't even think about it anymore, just go on with my life." She used the reins to keep the horse on the path and gently tugged her to the side a bit to get her used to direction.
"I do?" Well that was bad. His mother always irritated his father and then they would fight. He didn't want to fight with Daddy and he bit his bottom lip. "I'm sorry Daddy, I won't sound like her no more." No need to upset his father, he had enough to worry about. "It's not you, it's her. She upsets you first, Daddy, don't cover up for her since I know how it happens. I listen to you guys fight."

Malik was lounging in a seat in the arena, keeping a watchful eye for piper and doing his damnedest to keep the bonds normal so she didn't know her toddler son was down here with a metal blade swining at a practice dummy.
"Good work. now mind your feet too. the sword is part of you, it's motions move the body. your legs have to move as much as your arm, fluid and graceful. watch me."
And he got up from teh seat that was sitting in the dirt, and drew Ebony, slashing at teh dummy in slow motion, moving with like water. the blade, his feet, his whole body pivoting and angleing to strikes nad setting up for the next.
"Alright..try it again, see how you do with your footwork."
And back to lounging.
Broog was working on rings, setting gems into them, etching things into thier faces, and into the metals, and such, then also working on things Tremor would set by him, blades and armor for scrollwork an design. a well oiled machine these two were. though his head did turn over to Lharika when she said she had something for him.
"Wuts yous got fer Broog?"

((*cough* Broog *cough*))
He of course was having a blast...it hadn't taken much for him to be ancy over being promised this and well...the moment mommy had stepped outside, he had began the 'please' routine. Not that he knew it didn't take much convincing for Malik. Though it was a very cute sight indeed...and his swordsmanship wasn't bad for a three year old, what with all that pretending he did.
Though this feet thing was new to him. Apparently standing there and swinging, stopping to run, and then repeating wasn't the real way to do this. Him and his little sword though, still very cute. He was sure mommy would think so, but he knew better than to tell her, daddy said not to because she'd be upset. No reason to make her upset.
So a tilt of his head as he watched what he was supposed to be doing and then stood there holding his blade, before looking down at his boots and blinking at them. A nibble on his bottom lip as he went about assessing the situation in his head. Hm...okay so we just had to move all at once. A nod to his father and one of those cute concentrating looks back to his target.
So then...step and another to get in strike range and then more or less going about trying to mimic what he had been shown. He at least got the concept to move a foot when he struck forward to balance himself out and thus give himself a quick step into the next from quick weight shift. So yes, a few very nice all together moves, feet and blade included...that of course ultimately ending in him tripping on his own feet and plopping back in the sand with a few blink and looking to his father expectantly. "I did it?" Dunno...we did kinda fall there in the end.

Bingo he was right this time, she wanted to go sailing and she was hoping that he would ask her, so why not take her then? "Alright then come on." So with a small sigh the elf grabbed his katana and got up, after fixing his coat a little he lead Isle out of the fortress down through the forest and onto the sandy beach where his own boat was sitting there and over the past four years no damage or anything of the like had happened to it. "I know it may not be like your ship..." He started to say but then wandered over and touched it lightly. "But this is my ship...and I love it a lot." Of course Arthur said this with a tone of happiness in his voice. He had sailed on this boat for a very long time and he took very good care of it and will continue even though he has Brahnel now.

"This place is hardly new...you lived here for a good year at least before you moved in with Sevilin." Of course she had to point out factual information. She was probably climbing a rather flimsy tree here but she just couldn't help herself. So a moment of quiet before she opened that big mouth of hers again on the subject. "Come now, lying does not suit you. You miss....Zykariel. Yet you never ask to see him. And Sevilin's said you could...are you working on writing him out of your life then too?" Too? Because she made it appear she had already written off Sevilin.
He shook his head. "No, its alright if you do. Someone has to have some sense in this family of what's good for everyone." And there is was again, what the hell was this? So simply the child was speaking as an adult. Sevilin was supposed to be the one saying those things. "You shouldn't listen to us fight...and I upset her too...we're both to blame really." Reaching Twilight he pushed open the door for the boy, letting him toddle in.
She followed him along, though was surprised of what she may think. "What kind of girl do you think I am Galesen?" Walking over to the boat and touching a hand to it as if inspecting some. "She's a fine boat Galesen. And I'm sure she's beautiful in these waters." Giving a nod and then a look to him. "Well come on, let's get this thing in the water."
