Eliot and Morelle Sat on the bed With Warren and...well the body. She whatched him sleep for a time, it really was rather interetsing the way his face was mashed against the matress.
She felt like this Warren really was a good guy. She supposed after what he had done for her, she could trust him.
Feeling only a little lonley, Eliot curled up against Warren's side, and fell asleep.

"No, no time for slacking at the moment. not until we know what's going on. it's the slack that gives them the opportunity to get in. five drow coudl take a fortress with the slighest slack in guard."
Though he did give a small grin.
"Pass as a moon elf? Dear Piper..my skin is about eight shades darker than your father, and I'm entirely blue, not just a little bit. I doubt I'd pass for a moon elf. as for the penninsula..yes I would proabably enjoy a visit there. see how the Drow of your plane compare to the Drow of mine. For right now though...I have other things to play with. like the Captian and Dimitri."

"Boys and their toys." She rolled her eyes a little, and shook her head slightly. "And you could pass...it's rare for moon elves, but you could still pass with enough convincing." Though then she detached herself from him in a reluctant way and tilted her head to the side. "I guess that means you'll be wanting back in armor again then, a'mael, yes?" She was so sick of that armor at this point. In fact she was sick of a lot of things right now, war being at the top of the list.
"She's right. Rare but not unheard of and your eyes are the right color. Only give away would probably be the lack of gold in your eyes." He nodded lightly, giving a sigh. He did share one thing in common with Piper when it came to expected things...he wasn't one to wait too long on them. If they were going to happen, he would rather them happen in timely fashion. "I might go scouting again...see if anything comes up. Waiting can work on the nerves of an old elf."

"No. I don't want back in my armor right now. and you two can relax, I just ment the defenses can't."
He shook his head lightly with a grin.
"Waiting is what the drow do best. You'd have to live in a drow city or neriak for a few years as a non-slave to understand. There's not a single drow that doesn't have a dozen plots all waiting for just the right time to unfold or strike or just the right word to put in the wrong ear when it will be the most useful. The same thing goes with war. they'll wait months...waiting for that few hours or days that thier enemy gets fed up with waiting and either relaxes or comes out of thier defenses."
Then a thoughtful look.
"We might have merely been a distraction. Up our defense, wait and wait, and when Dimitri comes calling, the Captian takes down his fleet through surprise and infilration. keep our eyeson dimitri, dimirti's eyes on us, and let him do as he needs to do. I wouldn't put it past him. especially since now fleet ship has been sighted and they woudl have been by now if they'd been sent in even theslightest haste."

"Meaning we're being the pawn in this big old game you boys are playing, only to either get set up for someone else, or just left high and dry. Great. Now I remember why I don't like working with other people, you simply just can't depend on them." She rolled her eyes a little agitation in her voice as she leaned against the dinning room table on her hip, idly playing with her engagement ring.
Kieran only watched Piper a moment then looked back to Malik and nodded. "Drow always have been more tactful in their ways it seems. Though I don't know intimately that, I can take my good guesses and clues from what you say." Another one of those looks to nowhere. "And I wouldn't put it beyond this Captain to change plan on us or set us up for perhaps his own need or victory. Pity betrayal is often met with utmost resistance."

"I know one thing about this Captian. he loves his magical toys. globes of darkness, walking on water, summonings, translocation, wizards playing with things. which means he'll have an interest in Malvolence, and curious as to what other magical devices people might have. I'll expect him to be trying something soon. Either on Deepwater, or here."
A look at Piper with a grin.
"War is nothing but a big chessgame, with living people as the peices. we just need to get on the board, and find out where to move."

"I never liked chess." Yes, she couldn't help but be a bit agitated at it all. Things really needless to say had been moving fast since they had arrived in Labyrinth, and Piper didn't know if that was a blessing or a cures really. Perhaps the blessing that the soon it was all over, the sooner her and Malik could settle themselves, and a curse in how hard she had to struggle to keep pace with everything. Yeah, that sounded about right. "And just what we need...a Drow with a fascination on magic things knowing there is a place that packed full of it. Not to mention those who can use their own..."
"You would appreciate magics more if you actively took them up." Yes, the father in Kieran was showing through. One of those times where he could make his daughter see her mistakes and learn from them. After all, she was still young and could finish out her learning she started as well as learn anything new. She was just stubborn about it really, had always been that way. Then a look to Malik. "And of course hope that the game isn't already in progress to find ourselves three steps behind."

Warren groaned as he woke. He was soar in places he didn't know were allowed to be soar. He pushed himself shakily to his elbows, realized that he had slept in his robes.
He didn't really want to get up. But as stiff as he was, he knew he'd only get stiffer if he stayed in bed. HE started to pry himeslf off the bed...then he saw Eliot's body and procceded to fall off said bed in surprised terror. He hit the floor with a thump.
"Great, another bruise." he pulled huimself to a sitting postion.

"We're a few steps behidn already, but those step are probably directed to dimitri. so relax, take a breather. I'll keep all my guards and gladitor conscripts on full alert, and according to my necromancers, a powerful soul is near us. a massive one. that must be the Oracle's dragon. And massive death's from Deepwater, which means someone, mostly likely our Captian..is putting on a grand assault."
A small smile to them both.
"Welcome into the fold of intrigue and danger that is a Drow society."

Piper had been for the moment softly glaring at Kieran. Was he honestly pulling the father act on her and mildly in a rather no obvious way chastising her for more or less not being as tentative as everyone would of liked in that particular area. Figured. But her attention turned back to Malik. A few steps behind...great...meant she had to catch up all the more. "He says take a breather..." Yes, take a breather while the midst of war draws ever nigh. "If you look at it this way, we don't even have to worry about ourselves really, we can't die remember. Well we can but we're no supposed to. And the way that Oracle talks I'm sure her dragon is here for that reason."
Piper was busy being Piper, wasn't she now. "Seems you've got this all under control then Malik. Quite the accomplishment, and quite impressive. Anyone who wants to pick a war with you, I hope they reconsider the decision." Yes, Kieran was a man who could appreciate combat skills and the like. Then another look to Piper. "And you Piper, I expect a sparring match out of you tomorrow. Malik has taught you steps, now I will teach you mistakes. And you're not getting out of it. But till then, enjoy each other." A nod to them both and one to the little group of vah and another girl who were standing a little ways off in the dinning room, before he strode out, leaving them to themselves for a while. Besides he had work and a reverie to catch.

Eliot woke with a start. Pouncing to her little feet she jumped around on the bed in a dazed sort of fasion
"i'm awake! What? What is? I'm awa..." she noticed she was on the bed all alone...
Walking to the side of the bed she looked down and saw Warron the floor.
"What are you doing on the floor?"

"Same thing you're doing on the bed." He rubbed his backside, which ached considerably. "Waking up." Warren decided he wasn't a morning person.
He got to his feet, not without a grown, and from the washbason threw some water on his face. It succeded in half waking him up. He yawned. Still ij his crumpled robes, he opened his bedroom door and shuffled out, as always leaving the door open. He always forgot to close it.
He headed to the kitchens, but the cooks weren't up yet. And Warren could burn ice...meaning he was a terrible cook. He sat t a long wooden table, hopeing he wasn't THAT early.

Eliot watched Warren leave the room "Waking up?"
She hopped off of the bed and followed after him. She hadn't eaten since her kill a couple nights ago and she was starving.
To her luck Warren went staright to a kitchen. She oculdn't wait for somethign to eat, her tiny stomach was growling lowder than a wolf could.
Warren didn't seem to notice that she had followd him so she hopped right onto the table.
"I hate to be a bother, but i'm starving. Do you know how to cook? Plus I need something to feed my body, is there sometihng here I can bring back to her...or me?"

Warren had fallen asleep on the table before Elito/Morelle jumped up and woke him. Damn.
"Cook? No. I can't cook." He yaned. "You can just grab something raw from the coolers. Your stomach can handle it I'm sure." That last word was stretched out in another yawn.
He rested his chin in his heands. Wow his head felt heavey......then his forehead hit the table, and Warren found that bruising one's crainuim was a good way to wake up. At least fot a little bit. "Youre body is in stasis. You don't need any food."

Eliot looked at him, she wasn't sure if she had her eyebrow raised or not but she was sure she go the message on quite clear.
"Okay fisrt stop hurting yourself, you'll look k**e me soon. And Second, are you sure i don't need anyfood? I mean my body is still functioning after all, my spirit is just somewhere else."
She watched Warren's head bob for a few more seconds before she sighed and went to the pantry.
That man is not a morning person, she thought. He could do to be a bit more civil though i feel like i'm the nasty Aunt who's come to visit. Oh well I'll make do, guess i'm not so civil a person either.
When she got to the cooler she was able to wiggle open the door enough to get in, but all of the food was wrapped or stored in sealed barrels or other containers.
"hhmmmm" She half whined half groweld. She barely knew anything about this body and he expected her to open barelles? Fine whatever. I'l come back and beg when the cooks start. she thoguht to herself.
She looked to Warren as she left the Kitchen, he was once again asleep on the table.
"Go back to bed if your so tired." She grumbled and proceded to head back to Warren's room. godo thing he had left the door open. When she got in she haeded to her body. She had some cleaning to do.
Finding some water, Warren's wash basin she thought, she inched the table close to her body. Which was quite the feet concidreing she was so mall. She tugged her ahir loose from its confines within its hood and began to clean the blood and yes, the vomit from her hair. when she finaly finished that she tore a small piece of cloth from one of warrens blankets and washed her face off.
