Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I just do want things to happen too late. And a scrap isn't what I'm worried about. it's someone trying to take advantage of him not being well protected at home."

but a slight grin, and letting his fingers work over her shoulders and upper back, kneading in the skin nicely. like making bread, almost, though it was making his wife into putty.

"that better?"

"Oh but you could make an exception." Grinning at her as she gave him a kiss and he had to stifle the urge to keep from sticking out his tongue at his friend. "We'll work on it, Keely. One of these days you'll throw yourself into my arms and tell me yes and I'll be the happiest elf on the plane." But releasing her as she took to caring for Dhairiss, he punched his friend in the arm. "It builds character. And you're never going to learn if you aren't just thrown. Dealing with them one on one doesn't prepare you for a swarm of them. I'd rather you have me by your side when you encounter that but you can only call on me if you really need me. See, I'm looking out for you even if it seems like I'm not."

She dropped her head against his shoulder, letting those sensations tease and torment her body and then shifted against him once again. "Better. Much betterr." Fairly purring now, she nuzzled him again and then kissed him deeply. "The runes wouldn't be anything without the runer but prove to me you're better."

"No dear I'm afraid I can't. I simply couldn't break your heart like that...I am only human after all. I lack so much that only elves can give to each other." Hey she wasn't ignorant about it, and she wasn't bitter about it either. "And stop hitting each other." Giving Dhairiss a squeeze of a hug as he urged one from her with his own hugging and babbling about something or other in elvish.

Another rub at his arm. That spot was getting sore now. "Stop trying to woo the babysitter. You already have half the women of the underdark at your beck and call, you gotta leave some for me." Wasn't that cute? Being all territorial even if he was socially awkward, especially with women. "At least make sure you attach a rope to me before you throw me out then I can breathe a sigh of relief."

"Well, good to know I got it right the first time." Shaking his head and rolling his eyes lightly at it all...sometimes she did amuse him so. She had taht tone to her voice and he always did love that tone at least. Indulging her as she kissed him he couldn't help the chuckle that left hsi throat as she goaded him on. "Oh so prove it? Very well...you asked for it." Time to break out the 'rune mage fingers' starting by drawing barely there patterns that didn't make sense but he knew they would feel good...he kenw how to work her body and he always liked to torment her with pleasure before giving her what she wanted.

"I don't think he's brave enough to be the one taking advantage of those he's supposed to listen to. We both know he's a little manipulator, but harmless enough when he does so. The times he has been caught, well I think he's built up enough reference." Leaning forward against the edge of the table on propped elbows, her chin resting on the back of clasped hands, letting him work his fingers as he wished without complaint...felt too good to complain. And a little noise of pleasure as he went for the ears. "Are you trying to seduce me into eating?"

Okay she still missed the mark a bit, but he'd not press the issue. he was more concerned with thier mystery pest making moves...but both her thoughts on it were things to think on as well. though a light chuckle at her.

"maybe a bit of that, and a bit of good old fashioned seduction. you and I haven't had that much time together between injuries and tournament worries recently."

then one of the devil's advocate looks.

"Maybe you'd like to play in the food? I bet I could make a meal out of you and then some."

Zykariel just laughed and looped an arm over his shoulder, shaking him lightly in that friendly manner. "Just stick with me, Khai. I'll tell you everyting you need to know to keep your nose clean and your ears intact." Shaking his head and leading him back off to his own room then taking to detailing exactly what he needed to know about each teacher, each class, and each person he'd likely run into.

"You're always right when it comes to these things, it just takes a while to get me in the position to admit it." She wrapped her arms around him and simply indulged in the dance as old as time itself. Nuzzling him when all was said, screamed, and done, she cuddled up with him and pressed a kiss to his chest then prepared herself to slip off into reverie, sated and full of love.

"I eat when I'm hungry, I'm not hungry a lot. Though if food can have a more useful or fun connotation, well then I may just indulge in it some more." Men did miss the simple things and what not, it was kind of cute in some cases. Slight raise of an eyebrow as he went for cinnamon right off the bat. Not that she cared much after he demonstrated his little methods of suduction first with cinnamon then with with his tongue...well he was starting off strong right off the back, made her reach back to brace her hands on the table to make sure she could stay standing. A little moan that was laced with a slight laugh. "Straight to the point are you?" Snagging the cinnamon stick from his hand with her teeth, giving him another grin as she lightly sucked on the wine marinated tree bark. "With cinnamon as more insentive. Smart of you."

Two weeks of waiting, letting them settle, letting them worry on other matters like their oldest boy who was going to school in a public setting it seemed. Just worked all the more for her. Tapping her fingers as she sat she gave a grin and then turned her attention to the others around her. "Now is the time." Getting herself up then with a giggle, "Send word...by the time we get there, things will be well. Hit both at the same time and remember...no screw ups." Even if someone did get caught...it would be too late before anyone could do anything.

Piper lay in bed with her husband, tucked to his side with her head resting on his chest, quitw content in her reverie. A little noise of discomfort though and she gave a shudder, even her elven self feeling the sudden drop in temperature. Frowning as she roused from reverie some, she lifted her head, noting that the air seemed thick and foggish as well as her breath was visible...no more than two seconds of that before her head dropped back to Malik's chest, eyes sliding closed and not another sound save for steady breathing.

Oh how people would kill for her secrets...elves after all couldn't be put into sleep because they didn't sleep...but they could be kept in their reveries and she had found that way. A dash of ingrediants and a touch of magic to sedate the elves into coma like states and lock them in reverie. For the humans it was just as simple, as well as others. Like the place had been frozen in time. And Twilight wasn't the only place that was getting such attention from her.

He felt the slightest twinges from his runings trying to go off, but he didn't get further than a twitch of an eye. Out of all the people in that house, no one would. The same atmostphere was affecting the Inthara household and thus it was suffering the same effects. No one would be stirring for quite the span of time.

Piper walked into the nursery where her youngest was under the same spells, as well as the blonde woman in the bed in the corner. Smiling down at the little elf, she waved a hand open and he blinked as he stirred from his reverie, reaching for her. "One breaks am empire by breaking the line of heirs. One breaks a man and all that he is, empire included...by turning it against him." Reaching to the little elf she brushed his hair away from his face and picked him up, Dhairiss clinging to her. Oh good...the mimickry was spot on, bonds and all. Oh yes, people would pay handsomely.

Sevilin had roused his youngest first, the little elf easily coming along before he started down the hall, and stopped at his daughters' room. Walking in, Faate was pulled out of bed and levered over his shoulder as he held onto his other in his other arm. Those were the orders, the ones that would work the best into the plan. Objectives gathered, he made his way out of the house and into the underdark. They met up midway, a grin passed between them as they did so. "How long?"

"At least three days...more than enough time before the spell wears and to erect those that will ward us. You were unseen?" At his nod, she gave a grin. "As was I...though even if I was...well, no one would look twice at me. Come...we've things to do."

"You do look quite appealing like that. Save that little defect there." Point to the ear.

"Trivial."





Piper wrinkled her nose. She felt strange...like she'd been in reverie for days and too long, feeling a tag bogged instead of refreshed as usual. Hm, that was strange wasn't it? Lifting her head from Malik's chest, she gave a little grimace as she felt sore like she had been holding one position for too long and was stiff...probably too much bow work the day before.

He groaned as his hand fell off the edge of his bed to dangle just above the floor, Yinn nibbling at his fingers. "Yinn...quit..." Did his parents honestly let him reverie all weekend or something? He knew he was beat from school schedule and still adjusting and thus liked to be lazy when he didn't have to go, but they usually didn't do that.

Sevilin frowned as he pulled up from reverie...it was past dark and early...meant his whole day was going to be set back. Well damn. Sitting up he went to stand, only to plop back down to sit on the edge of the bed...whoa, dizzy feeling swamping him.

He dropped down from the outcropping, throwing his bag down another one before following it once more. Okay, so this place was hard to get to...at least from where he had been. Yes he had dissappeared, but he had to make a decision...find an easier way to live such as taking this offer that was offered to him a month prior, job hop or at least hope to find people willing to work someone so young, or get better at hunting...which was hard when most things were bigger than you were. He thought he was picking the easiest of the three...he could always leave if not. But for now, on with continuing using skewed directions.

"Need to feed them."

"Troublesome detail. Go slip into something familiar and get them fed."

A nod and Sevilin strolled from the room to get fetch food and bring it to the three.
