Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alright, it's a deal." He could cut the kid some slack she supposed. "And I'll make sure I tell her that's how she knows if you have to take one or not." But he let the boy finish dinner, finishing some of his own before getting up and picking the child upstiars. "Dont' wanna do it yourself tonight? Alright."

Thus taking him to the bathroom, his bath commenced with much splashing and what not, that Sevilin would just have to clean up later. But he didn't mind. So as soon as the boy was clean and in his night clothes, it was upstairs to sit in bed with Rawr and Nym, to read a pirate tale of course, and then coaxing the little elf into reverie. Zykariel down, he cleaned up the house a little and then hit bed himself.

Piper foudn it easy tonight to take Malikhai to his room and get him settled easily enough. Once he got his goodnights from mommy and daddy both, he quickly drifted off, his little draithix on the floor in his little nest beside him. Then she tended to Lharika, getting her fed and put to bed as well, before dragging Malik to bed too because well she was running the house and when she said bed, she said bed. Besides...she wanted to go to reverie and she knew that he wanted to watch her because of her head injury.

Sevilin was up at this point, had gotten himself a shower, dressed, and something to eat. After packing a few things for Zykariel that he knew weren't avaliable for him at Twilight. Thus with a little pack over his shoulder and his polearm in place across his back he went back to his own bedroom, picking the child up night clothes and all and took the easy method, translocating to Twilight.

Easily and silently as the wind he took the boy upstiars and to the nursery, Ashlyn giving him a look for a moment before curling back around Malikhai. Zykariel was taken over to the usual bed he occupied, laid down and tucked in, Rawr tucked in with him too. "Nym, you stay here too." A chitter from the creature who sleepily curled up on the pillow.

Thusly he went over to the little play area and found some paper...and a crayon...and took to writing out a little not for Zahara regarding the bath issue.

Piper...did not have a good night and was not having a good morning. She had been having horrible reveries all night, waking up again and again, much to Malik's dislike because he attributed it to her head injury. And again she was jolting out of a rather traumatizing reverie, breathing hard and even sweating. Gods she couldn't take this. And her head was killing her too...why were things always worse the day after?

Sitting at the table, her legs drawn up and curled beneath her, bare toes peeking out beneath, her hair was mussed from her half reverie and the running her fingers through it and she stretched langourously. The house was silent, no one else was up but she knew that Sevilin was under the same roof she was. She couldn't have said how she knew, but she did. Thus she stood and slowly climbed the stairs, assuming he was in the nursery getting Zy settled. Sure enough that's where she found him and leaning against the doorway she mentally took count of all three little elves then turned her attention to him. "Coloring me a pretty picture before you go off to school? How sweet."

Zykariel never moved, never stirred. When he was resettled in bed, he clung tighter to Rawr and his mind reimmersed him in his memories.

She was not quite with it yet but she did shiver under his touch and burrow closer to his warmth. It was quite chilly in the morning with nothing more than a blanket to cover her. "I'm not really one to judge being that I have no experience but I could wake up like this more often if I had to."

He blinked, and turned around, green crayon in hand and a piece of paper. "What are you doing up so early?" Though a look at the piece of paper in his hand and then handed it to Zahara. "Um...bath instructions." Walking back to the bed and leaning down, pressing a kiss to the child's cheek before walking back over. "He should be no trouble. Thanks again."

Well I'm glad that I did, it was a request that you wanted from me and I was happy to full fill it for you..." He said as his fingers danced around her stomach, maybe he can make her feel a little better before he left? well he'll have to see about that. "He wont kill you, he'll be spending his time killing me if he finds out..." He muttered lightly as his hand went around her stomach before he moved upwards slightly, he wanted to see if she welcomed it first or not, hopefully she would.

In other words she looked like hell, though she knew she did it just kind of injured her pride that it was so obvious. But she figured he was probably right a bit more couldn't hurt so she crawled back into bed with Zykariel and soon got lost in her own memories while the child turned into her and wrapped his arms around her comfortably. A few hours later she was being awoken by none other than Zykariel. Ruffling his hair, she got him up, dressed and fed, his teeth brushed and had him playing quietly on the floor since Malikhai was still in bed. "So, what do you want to do today Kariel?"

"I dunno." He continued slamming two blocks together.

Well, that was helpful. She tried again. "I was thinking that since I promised you we could go galloping next time we rode that maybe we could do that today. What do you think?"

"Okay. I wanna ride the horse I rode with Daddy though."

And that was about as much as she was going to get.


A pair of red eyes peered at the lone figure from behind a tree and she quickly whispered to one of her companions. She had been watching the drow for a while and noted how close he came to boundaries. He never actually crossed but she figured that really didn't matter. The other came over and stared as well then watched as he performed advanced magery and jerked in surprise. A third was summoned and she spoke quickly. "Alu kyone l' byrren. Tesso mina udos inbal biu ogglinn pholor rah. T'yin thalra uns'aa rath ghil. Dorn plynn kyon d' ukta whol nin." Turning her sights to the male, she motioned her companion forward and they advanced.

She spoke a few whispered words to her companion and then with a battle cry emerged from the trees behind the drow and cracked her staff right across his back. She was big, even for an elf with long white hair that flowed loosely halfway down her back, unadorned. Her companion was a little smaller and stockier than she was with her hair in two long braids that fell to her waist. In her hand she held a wicked looking whip. They both had blood red eyes and malicious smiles that spoke of past deeds witnessed and performed. "Lu'oh kuuv dos deg'rabah!" Technically he hadn't but who ever cared about technicalities. Instead Braids lashed out with her whip twining it around his ankles and jerking snarling, "Dos orn alkar dosst dro!"

He blinked at the sound before he was whapped across that back...not that he did much more than take a step forward or two from the blow. That was irritating. Though his ears twitched at the sound of female voices and in that language that seemed a snake would like to speak in. Though he did move a little when his ankle got a whip slapped around it...hm, that wasn't Llothian...nor were these women dressed in her style. Lloth had been gone for four years...were these ones trying to hold onto the old ways.

"Waela j'nesstren ulu thrityh ji naut'kyn saph pholor uss vel'uss dos zhaun naubol bauth." Thus with a snap of his hand back he grabbed his polearm, giving it a rotation, the blade hacking through the whip on his ankle and he brandished it at them both. Two against one wasn't bad. But he did notice something...they were wearing quite a unique shade of blue. Vesendar blue. Sevilin had been doing some study up on these drow...those fallen from Lloth that were trying to 'get above' their former legacy.

Akedo and Hytus followed the woman like they always did, behind them without a noise since they were still following them even though the old ways were mostly gone, they jsut had no where else to go. But both drow's smiled lightly when they came upon the matter they were summoned for, it's seemed that they found another drow for a change. But once they were on the scene they were already called into action and Akedo looked at his friend with a small grin. "Al Hytus, ori'gato's inbal fol jivvin!" He said with a chuckle as he pulled out his dagger before walking in as Hytus just gave a small nod and followed, pulling out his own dagger as he went around to see if he could easily get to him. So withing minutes both Akedo and Hytus had gone at Sevilin and by the third time around they got lucky and tackled the drow, and then they went out of their way and started to beat Sevilin as hard as they could since the others haven't told them to stop, which they hoped that they wouldn't yet.
