Isle looked up as Zahara came up with Zykariel...adn look hell just broke loose as Zahara took the boy inside. But a look up as Galesen came up. "Do I look psychic? Help me get im up." Reaching to her boot she drew out her ever present dagger and cut the rope at Sevilin's wrists and ankles before propping him up and pulling his arm over her shoulders, and standing, making him stand as well with Galesen's help. "Buddy, I don't know what you got in to but you've got some really upset people on your hands now." Yeah Zahara didn't seem too pleased. "And you're gonna owe me for bleeding all over me."
Of course Isle didn't know how bad he was off, she knew his nosebleed was runic, but not about the internal posion fun. But it was always important to remain calm anyway wasn't it? First things first...no bleeding in the underdark. Though her attention came up to Malik as he appeared, looking all battle ready. "Oh good, someone who may know what the hell is going on."
He coughed again, shaking his head lightly as if trying to clear his system. Oh yes this was fun wasn't it? But he still was one tracked minded...needed to get to Zykariel for whatever the hell was wrong with him. Thus he didn't fight nor push Isle or Arthur away as they went about helping him, even if he hated help. Though he did struggled a little harder at the sound of Zahara's and Zykariel's voices, trying to scramble up once ropes had been cut, only to have Isle help him up then go about being casual. Though he did try to stand and start on his own, the need to make sure his son was alright overriding his own needs. Well at least he could kinda see now...could open his eyes partly and his vision was fuzzy but it was better than nothing. Oh look it was Malik.
Malikhai sat up in bed, noise from crying and yelling having echoed around the place waking him from his reveri. A look over and he saw Zykariel gone from his bed, and then Lharika was sitting up as well. His attention turned to Ashlyn and he pushed away from her hold on him, picking up his draithix as he slid out of bed and toddled over to Lharika. "What's happening?" Mommy and daddy didn't feel happy either.
Piper had merely nodded, but at the yelling from Zahara over the linkstone and the comotion of it all, as well as Malik getting his armor, she got herself up rather than laid down, coming to the top of the stairs and looking down. Well...that didn't look good at all. Heh, wolves and blood again.

Arthur nodded lightly and helped Isle in the best way he could, he held Sevilin carefully as she cut the ropes that kept his hands bind together but at that moment Sevilin tried to go on his own inside but Arthur and Isle kept him still before they helped him up. Arthur didn't care about the bleeding he just wanted to help the man, even though Sevilin was the type to never want any help in the first place. Though when Malik appeared Arthur took a small sigh of relief and smiled, someone who may know what was happening. "Malik what's going on? Do you know what happened to Sevilin?"

Wait, Piper too? What the hell was this? Revenge of the Underdark? "I don't have a clue...I came home to all of this." She was worried sick about three different people all at once and she growled. Dammit, she was going to have to set the bone herself. Ordering a serf to bring her bindings and a piece of wood that had been shaved, she looked Zykariel in the eye. "This is going to hurt Kariel but I really need you to be brave okay? Close your eyes." She closed her eyes for a moment and prayed for patience then reached down and yanked on the boy's arm. It took forever to her mind but finally she heard the bones snap back into place.
Zykariel screamed as white hot pain slammed into him and he began to cry all over again. He tried to jerk away and shook his head. "No! Stop, it hurts!"
She felt tears gather in her own eyes. Even the potion she'd given him to dull the pain wasn't doing much good. Or it just hurt and he was making it sound worse than it was. But she took the wood that was handed to her and easily went about making a splint. "All over Zykariel, okay? Now I need you to lay here on the couch for me and not move while I go get some other things to make you feel better. Can you do that for me?"
He nodded, still sobbing and asked. "What about Daddy?"
She lightly pulled the little boy into her arms and decided it would be better to carry him upstairs to the nursery and get him settled there. "I promise you Zykariel, he is going to be just fine. I'm going to help him right now as soon as I get you settled." Up to the nursery and tucking him back into that bed, handing him Rawr and pressing a kiss to his forehead. "I'll be back to tell you everything as soon as I can." And then she ran out. Now, to deal with Piper or Sevilin? Seviin first seh decided. Thus she hurried outside and over to Isle, falling down to her knees beside him. "Sevilin oh my gods...what in the hell happened?" Lightly dabbing at some blood on his face with her gloves.
Lharika glanced at the little boy. She was scared too. All the screaming and crying and sounds going on made it seem like the bad thing was around to get her other family as well. "I don't know Malikhai." She reached out and hugged him tightly then pet at the draithix. "come on, let's go see if anyone's in your parents room." Grabbing his hand, she pushed off her covers and headed out of the nursery to Piper's room. Opening the door she walked in and saw Piper. "What's happening?" she asked beginning to cry.

"I know as much as you do, Arthur. and where were you last night?"
Before turning his attention to Sevilin, giving Isle the 'go inside and help adn leave this to me' look and taking Sevilin and forcibly, not that much was needed, settling him on the ground for now.
"Zykariel is fine. And you going in there looking like that is only going to panic him. Who did this? that fire dragon? the water one with the smooth tongue?"
Before grabbing arthur by the shirt without taking his eyes off Sevilin.
"Bring me a basin of water and a cloth. as well as some cold meat. and quickly, or I'll take out any excess aggression I have on you."

Whoa boy, things were bad. But she turned her attention to upset children. A hand placed on both of them in petting motions before pushing them back to the nursery, where of course ZYkariel was too, not any happier. She could go help with whatever was happening downstairs, but being mentally exhausted and thus phsyically she was probably of no use anyway...thus she was going to tend to the children. Kids back in the nursery, she closed the door. "I don't know what's happening sweety, but I'm sure it will all be fine. We're going to stay in here and take care of Zykariel." Wiping at her sister's face and giving a reassuring squeeze to both children before walking over to Zykariel and kneeling by his bed, petting through his hair too.
Zahara, why wasn't she with Zykariel? Did that mean she didn't know he was hurt or that she just left him? That wasn't a favorable option. Though he couldn't really say too much right now.
And hello ground again...he was starting to hate that and he merely grit his teeth in frustration. Though he brought his eyes to meet Malik's somewhat, as he offered reassurance that Zykariel was okay. But another round of coughs, spitting up some blood again. Good thing about blood was that it made for words. Few, but words. "Vensedar drow." He had indeed discussed Vesendar a bit with Malik.
Isle nodded, turning on her boot and heading inside and heading to the kitchen to help with the orders that Galesen had been given. Couldn't expect him to do everything by himself in one trip.

The young elf was a little upset when Zahara came back out, the way she was and her actions mad him feel bad for the woman as he stook care of the older drow. Though Arthur sighed softly as Malik of course had to wonder where he was last night, the man could not leave him alone huh? "I was seeing some old friends again Malik...is that a problem? They asked me to stay the night and I decided to stay." Thank the gods this drow was on vacation right now, actually he should be thanking Piper for that. So there he was, standing over and watching carefully incase he was needed, and he was when Malik decided to grab him by the shirt and order him to get a few things. "Sure...I'll be back as soon as I can." Though the blue drow didn't have to force him and threaten him, all he had to do was ask really. So in a blink of an eye he was gone and the only thing that could be heard was the door closing, moments later both Isle and Arthur returned with the basin of water, the cloth, and the cold meat and was kneeling beside Malik with all items in hand. "We got what you needed Malik."

"Vensendar Drow? why the hell woudl they come after you...that's not a Lloth society."
Hey, Malik knew they only Drow that attacked other Drow without apparent intention to kill were Llothian. and probably women.
Malik nodded and started to tend to Sevilin a bit, wiping up cuts and such, mostly just to try adn get an idea of the extent of the injuries and wany kind of weapons that might have been used., plastering some meat on his face for his eyes.
"Did they say anything else, give any hint of reason why they came after you, or was it just some bunch of cuthroats or gang of twisted women looking for sport?"
At least it wasn't one of the dragons.

Zahara flew into action then and snatched the cloths from Malik's hand then very gently began to clean up Sevilin's face. Malik was not going to be as gentle as she could or do as good of a job. "Zykariel broke his arm, Sevilin. It's been set, splinted and he's fine. He sent me to see about you." It was only a half lie, the child had wanted to know what was going on after all. "You need to focus on you and not worry about him right now." She continued to lightly sponge at the blood though she ignored the two tears that slipped their way down to fall on his own cheeks. This was hard. Her hands were trembling even as she continued to lovingly bathe his face. "How many were there?" she asked softly.
Zykariel glanced over as Piper came in with Malikhai and Lharika in tow and forced a smile, trying to be brave. "I got thrown off my horse and hurt my arm 'cause he saw a snake or something and it scared him. Zara says I broke it." He turned terrified violet eyes to Piper and started to cry again. "What about Daddy Miss Piper? Did you see him? Do you know anything?"
Lharika sat down at hte bottom of Zykariel's bed and pulled Malikhai up with her. "We don't know." She looked at the stuff on his arm and frowned. "How come it's wood under it?"

Questions from all directions. He was sure that if his throat, nose, and eyes weren't on fire and he wasn't hurting in a number of various other places, he would find it funny that Malik and Zahara were both tending to him and not fighting with each other. But he wasn't in the mood to joke. "They said trespassing, must of had something nearby." Another coughing fit one hand coming up to wrap around his throat, not that it would help any...oh gods this was just horrible. Not to mention them poking and prodding elicited painful noises form him.
His head snapping to Zahara's general direction...not that he could see her because he had meat on his face. "Zykariel what?!" And more coughing for him, spitting some blood on the ground with that again. So then, he concentrated on his breathing as it was getting so hard to do so. Why did nose and throat have to be connected? At least his eyes weren't on as much fire as the aforementioned two...he hated poison...
Isle was with Galsen, only making sure that the drow had what they needed to help Sevilin. Several times of course that invovled going back in and fetching more cloth or getting fresh water. Back and forth fetch girl.
"Shhh, it's alright, don't cry. Come now, you know your daddy is just fine." At least she would say so to soothe the boy. In reality she had no idea what was going on. Only that something had happened to Sevilin, Zykariel, and a general sense of chaos had enveloped the place. And here she was trying to keep three children calm. But a look to Larissa. "To keep his arm braced and so he doesn't bend it."
Malikhai merely snuggled more into Lharika, watching the happenings...he wasn't happy at all that his friend was hurt or that things didn't seem right at all.

Arthur was of course just standing by with Isle, watching how both Malik and Zahara were tending to Sevilin, and the poor man was having a hard enough time as it is without the questions and the bad news, it seems that today would be the worse day at Twilight. But whenever either Zahara or Malik said asked for something either Arthur or Isle went back inside to get it, so at least they had something to do while Sevilin was being questioned.

"It's a minro injury don't worry about it, Sevilin."
Malik's voice was harder now, commanding. and pissed. he knew damned well where he lands ended and knew damn well sevilin was well within them where he'd been.
"Names, Sevilin. you get any names at all out of this group that assualted you?"
Vesendar was about to get a very unpleasent visit. provided of course he didn't get the opportunity to get at this little group before he had to go looking in Vesendar.

"Broke his arm. But he's fine. Perfectly fine, I promsie and as soona syou're somewhat better, you can see him. But if you were to see him now you would scare him and any of the other children." Zahara kept bathing his face but seh did reach down at one point and into one of his many pouches, pullinng one off his belt and finding just what she thought she would. Terra bud drops. Nodding to Arthur to help her, she had the surface elf lift his shoulders and she supported his neck while pushing the drop into his cheek. "Swallow Seivlin. You need water." Then a glance at Malik. "No more questions, he's not in the state to be answering them."
"He didn't look fine to me." He remembered seeing his father, all bloody and bruised and broken and it did not make him at all happy inside. "I'm gonna be okay, right Miss Piper? I'm gonna be able to use my arm again...right?" His eyes widened at the possibility of never being able to ride or play pirates. Could you do that one handed? He didn't hink so.
"Oh, I guess that makes sense." Then in an attempt to distract the boys. "Malikhai, show Zykariel what you've got." Nudging him about his little draithix. "The eggs hatched last night Zykariel."

He shook his head again, trying to think through the effects of poison. Which on top of the difficulty to breath and speak, was starting to give him the shakes. And Malik was not a happy man at all. Names...names...well he could remember the males...they spoke quite often. "Akedo and Hytus were two of them...pretty sure you would find the rest if you find them." And thus more coughing, seeing as it was a straining thing to talk.
Though he protested a little as he felt Zahara shove her fingers in his mouth, after all that was painful, but stoppd when he recognized what she had shoved in there and indeed swallowed...though swallowing hurt like hell too. But then back to concentrating on breathing, or at least trying to breath, taking deeper and longer breaths than normal in trying to compensate.
"I vote we get him inside and deal with this Vesendar business later." After all...blood in the open underdark didn't seem like a good thing to her at all now did it? Nope.
Piper gave him a smile. "You'll be just fine, and you'll be able to use your arm. It's just a break, those heal and no one will ever know you did it." Her look turning to Lharika as she went about trying to distract the boy. Smart little elf.
Malikhai brightened some and then crawled up the bed on his knees to sit closer to Zykariel, holding up the little beast for him to see. "All the draithix came out of thier eggs! See? His scales are still soft and he's all little. Though he already gots sharp teeth." The little thing wiggling as it was held up for display.
