Arthur blinked at Isle and smiled a little, well at least she was able to make things more clearer now to the creature. "You got a point there." He said with a happy tone in his voice, though he turned back to the water creature and shrugged. "She has a point, your master may have gotten some bad information about him which lead him to fear the drow, and since he may have heard that we come from there then your master sent you to gather information on him." Well it's as simple as that really, no need to worry about things now.

"No. I would know nothing of the sort." THe water creature shivered again. "He says that he was told that a necromancer was blamed by Malik for placing the soul of another in an Orc. Orcfell Pass occured as a result. Malik sends us love letters about partnership. Yet, he acts against us. Justice is volentold to go and investigate. Water is not sleeping well. I am summoned. I act on subconscious impulse. Why is more fearful, is your answers to the question. You do not seem to know. Or, you do not think it is wise for the Purians to become Malik's allies."

She just blinked and set her hands to her hips, looking at this creature. "Well...I sound like I don't know because well, I don't. In fact I have no idea what the hell any of you are talking about. I mean I don't even know what tha hell a Purian is." She didn't like this things tone kind of.

Arthur shrugged lightly at the water creature, the elf may live with the drow and go to his place but he doesn't know anything about alliances. "Listen I'm sorry but even I do not know, yeah I live over there and I go to the fortress but I make sure that I don’t get myself into Malik's affairs so sorry about this but..." He looked at Isle then back at the creature and gave it a shrug. "We both don't know anything about what is going on with your master and Malik."

" I am surprised that you do not know what your comrade is. " The wateroid shivered again. The elemental would have no way of knowing that the native born elf was not from the Purian Peninsula. " When I appeared, I asked you what Malik's mind is. You did not seem to know. That is because you do not know Malik. Now you do not know who the Purians are, and that is more reason for you not to know if they should be allies. But, the question which is most important can be decided by you anyway, because it is the question of whether or not Malik can be Puria's ally. If you think he can be, you would have simply said yes. But you are not sure, which means you do not necissarily believe that he can be Puria's ally. Now I must simply ask, in the most forward way, do you think that we should recall our embassador to Malik without talking to him, or not."
" We ask you because you are the best persons to ask."

"No? are you sure? I yell and scream and get angry all the time. I'm constantly in some state of aggrivation to all those around me. I berate Sevilin over the silliest of things and you yourself referred to the dagger in the back. I am going to assume that you are referring to the many times that I have betrayed, tricked and just been cruel to you. You tell me that I'm being cruel to my son when I refuse to give him the time of day when he wants my attention. Where does that not show cruelty? I have slapped you, Sevilin, even Malik. I've been tempted many a time to smack Zykariel though I've always stayed my hand because I'd rather not have to deal with the crying that would ensue." She shook her head. "I do for others when I will get something out of it. I'm selfish, disloyal and all around b***h many times. I use foul language and call names that shouldn't be used. I'm a horrible influence on any and all who know me. Why do you persist in believing I would make a good mother?"

She frowned. "I think your thinking is skewed. We told you his mind, thus we do know and know Malik. I'm not from here I don't know what a purian is. How can I be judge on who Malik should ally with if I do not know whom his allies are to be in the first place? How do I know that purians aren't some backstabbing band of something ot other? I don't. Therefore it is not my place to say Malik should or should not ally. Besides, if your master takes teh words of others over the words of whom he seeks then he is not getting the truth for people say things to purposefully make others be cast in bad light. Therefore...I am not the best person to ask. Just because I trust him and say he will do right by you if you by him, does not mean you think I am telling the truth or not."

"Fine then...if you want me to stop and give up on you...then tell me. Tell me right now to never bring the subject up again and I'm better off just leaving you alone. I don't deserve to be in your good graces for I can't help but want to change you. Tell me that Zahara and I will never speak of it ever again." This was how she wanted it...there was no changing her mind. Even if Piper would regret when she stopped trying...maybe Zahara was right....some things didn't change. Zahara's thoughts on herself seemed to be of that nature. "Just tell me to give up, and I will Zahara."

Arthur was just about to open his mouth when Isle decided to deliver a nice speech to the water creature and every word she said was basically true, so he just kept his mouth close for a bit until he poked her. "Good job, and here I was going to yell at him..her...whatever..." A small chuckle as he turned back to the 'guest' with a small smile. "Well she's right with what she says so just...let your embassador wait there at the fortress...sooner or later Malik will talk to him so don't worry."

" We came to ask you if we should talk to Malik, because rumors are not always to be trusted as facts." The wateroid shifted uneasily, somewhat violently.
" Why is it so hard for you, offworlder, to say 'Malik can be talked to' or 'do not talk to Malik'? How are we to know, if we do not try to talk to those who have eaten at his table, slept in his manor, or have been in his presence. Someone from an objective seat, say, someone from an alternate plane, should be able to judge Malik's character well. We ask you because we do not wish to be biased. "
The wateroid turned its attention to the elf, "Purian, your opinion can change the future too. Do you think Malik can be talked to, or do you think Malik cannot be talked to? "

"How do you know you can trust my word? How do you know if I am sending you to your deaths or not? Simple as that. And have you then just said you've been following and or spying on me? Because I don't appreciate such things." Commonplace paranoia habit having her rest a hand on the hilt of her sword. Isle did have a short fuse compared to her rather carefree nature. "It's called protecting someone from someone else...you think he can be the bad guy well I can say the same for these Purians you speak of. It is unwise to ask those that are not familiar with all around them. Foolish really."

Arthur sighed lightly, this was not going well, they have explainedthis a few times already and this thing will not think it over for one second! "Listen to me...first off I'm a surface elf that was born down here and raised down here...but if you allow you person to wait for a little while Malik will get to him and he will have a talk with him...you don't have to worry about Malik's sanity because he will just talk to your man." Can't this creature understand a word they are saying? Is it that hard?

The threat was lost to the wateroid, as well as the bard's logic. "That doesn't make anysense. If I was spying on you, would I not know your opinion of Malik through my observations of your behavior and the differences between the way you act near the subject and the way you act appart of your subject? Evidence is not rumor, and can be used to create judgement."
Then the elf spoke. " That does not answer the question . You are saying that it is possible for Justice to talk to Malik, but not that Justice should talk to Malik."

Isle pinched the bridge of her nose. Okay...she'd go the simple route. Thus a look to the creature, taking a breath to calm herself. "Yes, it is a good idea to speak and ally with Malik." There...it wanted a simple opinionated answer from her and she'd gave it one. Couldn't make it any simpler than that really.

Zahara sighed and dropped her head. "Maybe that's what I'm waiting for. Everyone just to give up on me. After all, I keep using the same reasons that everyone keeps telling me are invalid. Maybe we're both just waiting for the other to quit. Either me to quit denying or you to quit trying." Stopping the horse a moment later she turned to face her friend and told her the truth. "I tried Piper. I tried to be his mother, his real mother when he was a little boy. But I didn't know how. I didn't know what I could do and what I couldn't. And I was scared to death that I was going to do or say something wrong and mess it all up. I put him on his stomach in his crib and he almost suffocated. I would turn to do something and he would be eating something he wasn't supposed to. I was way out of my element and I knew it." She closed her eyes remembering. "It was wonderful when he was a baby. He depended on me and so did Sevilin. We were a team and I knew what to do. I could feed him and hold him and when he cried i could stop it. I learned his different cries and what they each meant and I felt in that moment that I could be a mother. That's why I stayed. And then I learned....that there's a lot more to motherhood than just cuddling a baby when he's bawling. I am terrified of screwing up so badly that I won't be able to fix it. You don't seem to have that problem..."
