"I know and it gets me in trouble every time. One of these days you're just going to shove wrist guards on my hands and not let me take them off." She flexed her finger and nodded. "Yes actually. Thanks." Standing up once more she glanced down at herself to make sure there was nothing else that might startle her son when she saw him. "As much as I would appreciate that, don't push it too fast Sevilin. Nosebleeds are not fun for you or for me and it brings out the need to clean." She stood before him and pushed her cape so it was off her shoulder and only held loosely around her neck. "Do I look like I got beat to hell?"

"But I like to clean." Giving a shrug and standing himself up giving her a once over before reaching over to her, brushing his fingers through her hair to straighten it some for her before shoving his hands in his pockets. "You look fine...the blessing and curse of drow, nothing showing on our bodies unless it was an open wound." A smirk. "Might want to change your clothes, you're a bit dirty."

Well Arthur got up and left the room for a good reason, he knew that Piper was coming down and little Malikhai and Zykariel were there so now he could give them thier gifts that he got back on Andal, that would leave Zahara last of course but he could always see her later about her gift. So the elf went off to find Brahnel and when he found his trusty steed he quickly took out what he brought and made his way back inside, though once he got back he noticed that Piper really looked bad, whatever happened to her he knew that she be resting for a pretty long while. "Hello Piper, it's good to see you again." He wondered if she could smell the cinnamon already, even if she did he wouldn't tell her what it was. So he set the gifts down on the table and smiled a little turning to Piper first. "I brought you, the boys, and Zahara gifts from Andal so here." He placed the package on the table near her so she could get it then turned to the young ones, putting each package side by side so they could get them. "I hope all you guys like them." He said with a light smile.

Wasn't it though? Thankfully he couldn't see the mark on her cheek because then he'd have some serious questions. No way a beast would make the handprint of an elf. She glanced down at herself and nodded. "I'm going to need your help for that..." He'd have to strip her down and put her back together. She'd force herself to do it too, just to prove to herself that he wasn't Khaiver.

He blinked and walked over to the dressed that held a good portion, if not at all of them. "Alright then...what do you feel like wearing then?" After all, she could be quite picky. But he rifled through a bit and then back to her before pulling anything out and took to underessing her as she made decisions, unclasping her cloak and throwing it to the bed before taking to the ties on the back of her top.

She stood there and thought about it then shrugged. "Cream dress is fine." That was all one piece. "Or the purple I wore when I was pregnant." Her body trembled as his fingers brushed against her skin and she closed her eyes and forced all bad thoughts out. He wouldn't understand if she pulled away from him now and as he bared her she resisted the urge to cover herself. She'd never cared before. Thankfully he couldnt' see the shame that heated her cheeks and she dropped her gaze before her eyes could give her away. Damn Khaiver.

The lumbering Breaker followed Zahara's tracks, and moved along them until it found Khavier. the ogre stared at the drow, impassively and yet quite agressively, like a junkyard dog. it had an andalian misery chain now, and with the ability to not feel pain of it's own, that weapon was very, very dangerous in the ogre's hands.
But right now it only watched him. every motion every move like it was waiting for a time to strike, or a command from somewhere to do so. Or perhaps to simply play babysitter and not too happy about it.
Malik put an arm around Piper.
"I have some gifts for you two Rainsongs. Isle needs to picks hers but I think she'll have her choice made sometime soon. and if anyone is feeling any lethargy or the like I have somethings to help with that as well. I know you might not handle it down here very easily at first."
though a kiss to his wife, he did like that surcoat, and a glance to Caprice.
"Though we have something special that I'm not sure even andal has though the breeds are there. Piper and Zahara have been doing quite a bit of selective breeding of our horses, and since I know she wants to, why don't we take a look at the fruits of her labor."
Lateef seemed to be the more at ease of the two, so he was putting a bit more attention to Caprice and gettingher settled. she was hiding it well but he knew she was a bit jumpy and unsettled here. something familiar would probably do wonders for her.
Though a slight smirk at arthur's presents.
"I take it my present is the fact I don't have to drag you back here or the fact that a brigade didn't throw you back here."

Khaiver knew he was being watched, but there was no proof of anything against him...and the moment that ogre lazily blinked, he was going to be gone from sight and tracking anyway...stupid creatures.
He waited for her decision then nodded, busied himself getting her out of her clothes, though that trembling didn't go unnoticed, but he chose not to say anything, and then onto getting her dressed. Sevilin watched her curiously then merely shook his head. She wouldn't tell him even if something was wrong anyway, why should he expect her too. "You're set."
Malikhai gave Lateef his handshake, at the wrist like daddy had taught him, and then rocked on his boot heels a moment before looking up to his parents before back to the two vising elves, to see the answer to his friend's questions. Of course attention was duely divided to presents as they were set down. Presents! Which meant we were going to go open those now.
Oooh she had to walk someplace else? That figured...she should of just stayed in bed. Stayed in bed, not leave it until tomorrow...but she'd been pushing her body since she got back...she could push it some more she supposed. "Why not, I want to see my little fire winged nightmares. Was hard getting those..." And she got two, wasn't that exciting? But a pat at Malik's chest. "I would indeed take that as your present. Don't feel bad, seems Sevilin's not getting one either."
Children were so easily distracted. "Yes we are, but Isle already had her fun down here, now it's our turn." Before her attention turned to what Malik was saying and Piper as well, taking a moment to smooth a wrinkle in her own sheer cream colored surcoat. "Interesting little horses it sounds...why not?"

He'd chosen the cream. Maybe there was something to it and maybe she was just overanalyzing things. He even laced up the proper boots, good man. Of course gloves weren't cutting it and they stayed in the drawer. She needed to go see her son. "Thank you." Thus making her way downstairs, she saw him tearing into something and shook her head. "Kariel, what do you have?"
Zykariel had been constantly glancing back at the doorway to see if his parents were going to walk through. The rocks in his head had stopped which meant Mommy was okay again. At least that's the way Malikhai had explained it. He glanced up from ripping into the package and grinned. "Mommy!" Thus racing over to her and wrapping his arms around her waist. "The rocks in my head said you were upset and that made me upset. What happened?"
She reached down and patted his back lightly, careful not to upset her wrists. "I got into a bit of trouble with an underdark thing, that's all. They get upset when you start picking their food and moving onto their land. I'm just fine little one, Daddy made sure. What did you get?" Oh look, Lateef and Caprice were here and Arthur was back home. And Piper was out of bed. Her eyes narrowed on that one.
Lateef laughed, "I should bring a journal and jot down everything there is to know about these new creatures for Kieran. He'd be so happy. I'm goign ot let you take care of that Pip. You'd know far better than I what he writes in those silly things." He wrapped an arm around Caprice's waist and gestured, "Lead on."

Arthur looked at Malik with a small smile and chuckled a little bit. "Of course that's my present, though I did try to find something you like but I didn't find anything you like really." A look over to Piper and that grin was still on his face"Well Piper I knew you like cinnamon so with a little help from Isle I got some cinnamon from Andal for you." Though he turned to the boys and smiled a little bit. "Well for the two of you I got some Brigade uniforms, you can use them when you play together I just hope they fit you." Though that's when he noticed that Zahara made her way into the room. So the elf stood up and took a box from his pocket as he walked over and presented it to her, inside was an amber necklace that he bought by putting some good time into trying to bargain for it, the vendor was stubborn when he was trying to get it. "It's good to see you again Zahara, here a gift I got for you from Andal." He told her and waited until he took it before turning to Malik. "Well I'm going to be heading down to the arena soon so don't worry about it, I got a few things to take care of but I'll get there soon."

A look to Zahara in that 'don't start with me' look..with a hint of 'I know better than that underdark thing story' to boot. of course then leading his wife and thier guests to the stables, and to the stall that held the two newest additions to thier herd.
"firewinged zephmare twins. just like piper always wanted."
the ogre didn't blink. it stared, and took a few more steps over, lowering itself a bit down to eye level with the drow.
'little elf tell master dat da female darkie was upset. master knows the only ting dat would upset da female darkie is yous and da other male darkie. but da other male darkie wasn't there to upset da female darkie so yous musta upset da female darkie. wat you do to upset da female darkie to make the little elf upset."
it was instructed to find out. and then probably do something violent to him...or issue a warning. who knows if it even properly understood the orders it had been given. after all ogres weren't diplomatic.

He sniffed, and then crossed his arms, staring at it a moment before waving a hand dismissively and walking off from it. He knew the exact length of a misery chain and knew how far to keep...and he didn't appreciate this at all. "Sorry, don't speak to lower beings..."
Sevilin followed her downstairs to apparently a group of the others...and more surface elves. From Andal. He swore if he saw one more thing from Andal, he was going to have to start hurting things. "Surprise, more Andal things." As far as presents, he didn't care...he would of burned anythign from Andal anyway and Arthur didn't like him anyway.
A look to Arthur. "Well, you're back. Isn't that lovely...and you brougth cinnamon...smart boy. Thank you." Givign a chuckle...that boy and his little human ways. But she waited for the boys to open thier presents then made sure at least Malikhai was going to follow along, before heading out to the stables, limping a little in her steps."Firewinged nightmare twins. Dear. Don't dilute my work. It was hard getting all that blood in and then back out." Holding up her surcoat some so it didn't drag on the ground outside or on the dirty stable floors, taking a look in the pen. "Aw, they're just like I imagined." Oh she was proud of herself and Zahara...very very proud. "And to think, I only expected one. It's like an extra present." A look to Lateef. "No worries I'll send him something."
Play clothes! What was better than play clothes? Well...cookies, but it was better than nothing right now wasn't it? Much so. "Thank you Arthur!" Though he noted the parents going somewhere and he gathered up his new things and toddled after him, he wasn't letting mommy and daddy out of his sight.
Caprice followed on the way out, looking over the littel creatures and various other mixes of horses in there. "Well...out of all the things I thought you had potiential to become Pip, I never would of thought you to breed horses...business didn't seem to suit you."

"Thank you very much." Zahara gave a smile to Arthur and took the box then handed it down to her son. "Open that for me little one. Mommy's hands hurt right now." Besides what child didn't love to open presents, even if they weren't for him.
Zykariel was just as pleased with his new clothes. "Thanks Arthur!" He handed them to his father and then took the box his mother handed to him. Ripping it open and then opening the box inside, he frowned. It was jewelry. He glanced at Arthur and blinked. Daddies gave mommies jewelry. Mr. Malik had never given Mommy jewelry and Daddy had never given Ms. Piper any either. Was Arthur trying to shove Daddy out? He held the necklace behind his back and shook his head. "You can't have her Arthur. She's mine and Daddy's."
Zahara blinked and reached down. "Kariel. What's in the box?" She tried to get it from the child but he kept it away from her. SHe sighed and shook her head. "Zykariel Inthara." Now she was using the 'tone.' "That's not very nice. Let me have the box."
"No!" He kept it behind his back away from her moving back and then scampered behind his father's legs. "Tell him he can't have her Daddy! Tell him!" Once again getting very upset.
Lateef oohed and aahed, he had a pretty good idea how much work Piper had put in to get what she had and it was an accomplishment to his way of thinking. "Very nice indeed. They're quite beautiful creatures aren't they?" Watching as the foals pranced around the stables. "And as strong and proud as their mother." He chuckled, "Reminds me of little elves."

Arthur smiled a little at Piper and gave a nod when she passed him some thanks for getting her the cinnamon. Though he turned to the boys and grinned a little when they gave him thanks for the clothing, it was nice to hear it and couldn't wait to see them run around playing in them. "Well your welcome Malikhai, Zykariel I'm glad to have gotten those cloths for you." Though he turned to Zahara and nodded a little, a gift is a gift and it was just a simple amber necklace though he knew she had a thing for amber. But when little Z was asked to open it and he gotten upset the older elf blinked in confusion and looked down at the boy wondering what was going on. But as Zahara tried to get the box the boy kept away from her shouting that Arthur couldn't have the drow and then it clicked in his head. "Zykariel I'm not trying to take your mother, it's just a necklace I saw while up in Andal and knew that your mother would like it; in no way am I trying to take her from you or Sevilin." Well he hoped the little guy understood but he was a child so that may be a little hard since kids have a different look on the world and everyone they knew in it.

Wow, kid had a bad reaction to that now didn't he? Zykariel was so defensive when it came to Zahara...hopefully the boy would grow out of it and it wouldn't turn into an unhealthy possessiveness for everything or at worst over women. Looking down to the child behind his legs, he reached down and hefted the boy up into on arm. "Zykariel." It was that tone that said he wasn't playing around. But for the child't benefit he looked to Arthur. "You can't have her Arthur, I'm sorry but she's mine." Giving Arthur the, 'acknowledge for the child' look. And back to Zykariel. "Friends give each other presents and mommy's done a lot for Arthur, so she deserves a very very nice present. Necklaces, bracelts, and rings that don't go on fingers are okay to give, okay? Now give mommy her present."
