"Rain is not cold underdark water and doesn't ruin zephyr silk." Caprice gave a squeal of sorts as he hopped up on that rock and duely grabbed her. Flailing insued on her part, trying to wriggle out of her husband's hold. "You horrid man you! You put me in that water and you'll be unhappy in more ways than one. Don't make me go back to being a Windswept." Playing of course though.
Piper caught the boy as he slipped down the tree, boots and fingers loosing traction. A chuckle and a nuzzle for him, before putting him down once more. "Try again, you'll get better and better each time." A pleased smile as the boy tackled the tree again, determined to climb the thing. Though she did look over her shoulder at Caprice's squealing and gave a smile. Those two...
His ears twitched and he turned his attention to Zahara as she walked down to join them in thier play. "Wow, I guess Rawr's going to be really upset with me, loosing Zykariel and all. I bet you are too." Invoking the pitiful look and tone, going so far as to sheepishly kick at the ground. "Hm, extra cookies, I think that almost makes it better." And of course turning around in mock fashion to keep amusing the child. "I swear I hear him, he can't be far off."

"Evil evil woman. You know where to hit where it hurts, don't you? But you underestimate me. Once a Rainsong you can never go back. And now we go to together." He nuzzled her once and whispered, "I'll get you more zephyr silk and keep you nice and warm too." Thus he held her tighter and stepped off the ledge into the water. Of course once they hit, he let her go so she could swim however she liked to...or come after him...
She crossed her arms in mock upset fashion and sighed long sufferingly, tapping her foot. "I am. What am I going to do without my Zykariel? He helps me make cookies and then helps eat them." A shake of her head but she gave Sevilin a pat. "I'm sure he'll turn up at some point. In the meantime, would you like some of those cookies? They're fresh out of the oven. We can have dessert before dinner, just don't tell Zykariel."
Hm, maybe this wasn't so much fun. He jumped slightly on his father's back and shook his head. "I'm back here! I want some cookies too!" He tugged at his father's braid and tunic to try to get his attention. "On your back Daddy!"

Another squeal from her, before there was a wet Caprice standing in the water, hair all flat and such now. "If you've ruined by surcoat, I'll have your head." Wading out of the water and taking off said poor now wet surcoat, laying it out on the rocks...oh she hoped that would dry well...after all, there was no sun and she didn't want it ruined. "Now...about this tossing me into the water business..." Stalking back into the water after him before disappearing under it...and duly yanking him under the surface by his ankle once she reached him.
"Hm, sounds like a good idea to me." Though then he mocked a look of an epiphany...or as best as he could what with his face still healing like it was...some days it was just unbearable still. Good days and bad days. "Wait a moment." Reaching over his shoulders and duely grasping the child around hte middle he flipped him over his head so that he was holding the boy upside down in front of himself. "Zahara! Look what I found!"

Surcoat. Dammit. He should have connected the dots when she said zephyr silk. If that got ruined, he'd hate himself. She adored that thing as well she should seeing as she'd spent so much time on it and he loved it too. "I'm sorr-" And he was down in the water and not getting back up anytime soon. Good thing he'd prepared and popped a terra bud drop into his mouth. "Now that you've caught me, what do you intend to do with me?"
"Dadd-" Oh the massive amount of giggling that followed that. He started squirming immediately then waved to his mother happily. "See, I'm right here. Now I can have cookies too!"
Zahara held in a cringe as she watched him bring that boisterous little boy over his shoulder. If that child kicked in the wrong place...no she wasn't going to think like that. She was going to smile and tickle his tummy. She spun around and quirked an eyebrow at him then grinned. "Would you look at that, you did find him! Good job, Sevilin." Walking forward she tickled his tummy and then took him from his father. "You want some cookies? Even before dinner? Oh alright, I guess we can still do that. But first you have to wash your hands." Giving the child a pat to his bottom to get him moving she turned back around. "How are you doing?"

"If we were home, I'd somehow attract Fluffy to have some fun with you." Letting him go, she let herself float back up to the surface and took to treading water, waiting for him to surface as well. "You are a bad elf, do you know that? You get on vacation and you just can't resist all those manly urges...teasing women, what's next cooking outdoors?"
He let Zahara take the child from him and he gave a sigh, running a hand back through his hair lightly as he watched the child run off to wash his hands what with the promise of cookies. Turning his attention to Zahara, he gave her a smile as best he could, even if she more or less didn't like him doing so too much. "It's a relatively good day I think. At least so far it has been." Only Sevilin could have stitches in his face and call it a good day.

Malik was beside himself. so many people to kill. first Zahara. and then Piper. for Innoruuk's sake thier son was three he had no need to be climbing trees just yet. Stupid trees. But he was being casually calm, going over records and making sure everything in the house was in order as it needed to be. Magic was returning fast and strong, but he wasn't prepared to let the boys try thier luck at thier magic lessons yet. a few more days maybe. but the weapons and general studies were going as usual.
After that of course, Malik went down to teh arena area, and stripped to near naked, wearing just and egyptian style lioncloth. and did a normal workout for him. weights, pushups, tai chi, and then of course swordplay against several servants at once to practice the returning magical powers and his own skill.

Said son was mastering the art of the tree...or if you asked the boy, he was conqering that tree and making himself master of it. After all, this was above the doorknobs and highly exciting now wasn't it? Yes yes it was. And he had made his way up to a low branch, was now sitting on it and basking in his own glory. Though then a puzzled look. "How do I get down?"
That was a brilliant question wasn't it? Children asked those kinds of things. "That's something you're still ill equipped to do yet. So that means no climbing trees without me...and not with your father." Malik was liable to chop down said tree and she knew it. She also knew he was irritated to all get out that she was teaching the boy to climb trees. "And that A'mael is how it felt when you went and taught him the sword behind my back. Not a pleasant piece of knowledge is it?" Just because she could...and she was slightly irritable what with all the forced downtime that had been imposed on her. A look back up to Malikhai, raising her arms to him. "Slip down." Waiting for the boy to do so, catching him and hugging him. "See, it's easy."

The sword is useful and good to learn for discipline, self-defense, and self-reliance. there's absolutely no benefit to climbing trees except to say you can climb trees. that and you constantly risk breaking your neck or arm or leg.
yes he coudl give it right back to her. but now that his skin was covered in a fine sheen of sweat and some dirt, and many of his sparring partners laying about unconcious or worn down to be no use in testing skills with, he took to cleaning himself up for the moment. Stubborn woman she was. but she had a slight point.

"Wrong. Don't be ignorant. Need I remind you that Zahara would have killed me, had I not been able to climb trees with the ease that I can. And well, did a lot of climbing on my little quest, which I would have died as well if I couldn't. You want me to keep going?" Clicking her tongue against her teeth and frowning slightly as she carted thier son inside, who was happily clinging to her and still basking in his own glory. Try to tell her that that wasn't an important skill, she thought not. The nerve...
He was rather clingy to his mother since she was able to pick him up once more and he was making up for that last time there and that sucky few days that she couldn't pick him up when she had first got back from being gone. Which she better never go on again. Though a frown as he was plopped down at the table, and one of his books handed to him. "Do I have to today? I did extra yesterday..."
"Just that one thing today, I remember that you did extra."

"I shudder at the very thought." He kicked his way to the surface and popped up then met her gaze. "Yes, bad elf. I said I was sorry...I just get so relaxed on vacations I lose all sense of propriety. Besides," he shrugged his shoulders sheepishly. "I just wanted to have some fun with you."
She met his gaze and rose up onto her tiptoes to poke and prod at the bandage slightly. "I'll put more medicine on it tonight, that seems to help speed up the recombining of everything." Of course that meant he smelled awful all night long but she'd long ago grown immune to it. Zykariel had been staying in his own bed as of late though but little elf noses were sensitive. That's how he knew she was making cookies when he was outside playing. Oh and here was the chastising coming...she tried to keep it down but it just came up anyway. "You've got to be careful though Sevilin...what if he would have kicked you in the face?"

A poke at his head. "We'll see if my surcoat survives or not. Thing has lasted for the last three hundred or so years, I'm not about to loose it now. But do continue to have your fun dear, don't damper it just yet. You know you'll have your hands full."
A slight drawback of himself at her poking and prodding. He hated it when she did that, and it was always spontaneous too. "That stuff is worse than drinking something that would taste like it smells." And then there was the reprimanding again. He didn't do much these days without getting one. A slight sigh of compromise from him. "I know, careful. I'm just so used to doing whatever it is I would normally do even when seriously injured. Old habits die hard in some cases."

Had you been as skilled in the blade as you were at climbing trees Zahara wouldn't have been able to touch you with her daggers. the other part..that's not trees. I never said climbing wasn't a useful skill, just with trees. not to mention that you were blackmailed into that quest in the first place, something I highly disliked. and had you suffered any more seriously than you did, and had she not died beforehand, I would have paid my own visit to the Oracle for exactly that blackmailing.
Point, counterpoint. after all, malik knew a properly trained swordsman had the range, and the defense to defend off little daggers. especially daggers not in the hands of assassins. But he was getting all cleaned up, and came from downstairs, just in loose fitting pants, to see his wife.
"But we can go back and forth all day and night. you want to teach him that, I won't begrudge you it on the point that I taught him something that I enjoy that you didn't like."

First she couldn't do her own account books, and now her sword skills was being nagged upon. "Oh and it didn't matter that I didn't have a sword on me when that happened? Your point is moot. And if you learn to climb a tree, you can pretty much climb anything. But if you want to be the bad guy and tell him no, then you can be the bad guy and tell him no and see how it feels when I do it." Slight bit of irritation now, but she was trying her best not to let herself become overly agitated...did not want to get into that at all. Though that mental converastion of thier shut right down at the mention on Meilikki...still a subject Piper wasn't keen on. Didn't like it mentioned, didn't like to talk about it.Crossing her arms, she stood there more or less hovering over her son before a look over to Malik as he made a prompt entrance, continuing thier conversation. This time outside thier heads. "Yes, well you get what you give. I think you could use a little humbling at times." Before a dismissive wave of her hand. No, wasn't going to fight. She may be on her feet again after that little adventure of hers, but that didn't mean she was completely back to normal. In fact she was still quite jumpy too.

"Yes I know. I do have that arrogant prideful streak in me."
though walking over to thier son, and mussing his hair a bit, giving his wife a small kiss.
"How are you feeling though? everything okay, Zahara going to be checking on you again or anything?"
hey he was still concerned over her injuries, and any lingering effects or concerns over it. not to mention he wanted to get Zahara by herself so he could have some alone time with that woman. and not pleasent alone time either.

Lateef grinned at her and walked over, taking hold of her cheeks and kissing her. "In which case, back in we go." Thus he leaned down and lifted her back into his arms. "And don't you argue because we are already wet." And he threw her back into the water, after removing anything else that might get ruined...and a few necessary pieces of clothing as well and he pulled off his own tunic and threw it aside then kicked off his boots and dove in after her.
"I know but I'd rather keep a paste or poulitce than keep forcing things down your throat. I don't know what gets lost in your system and what actually works. This way I can monitor it and see if anything is actually happening, positive or negative." She reached out and looped her arm through his resting her head against his arm. "I know you are Sevilin and I'm sorry that I'm constantly yelling. I'm just worried..."
Zykariel chose that moment to pop back up on the front porch, flashing his hands quickly though he was thrilled to see his parents touching each other and talking to each other the way Malikhai's did. "See, no stains. Now can we have cookies?"
