Gizdean gave a slight smile underneath his facemask and hood. the alarms brought the man himself...and his wife. and look at that, a baby boy. but those two left the woman alone. they obviously thought that she was safe. but not that safe.
So now the bait. a little bit of Zykariel's shirt..cut when he had him against the wall. tossing it down outside of the boundaries, and in sight. now the spider just waits for the fly.
She gave a slight smile, tilting her head.
"I scare you? I don't know where to take that as an insult or not."
A chuckle.
"What don't you understand about me? and I'm not going to stop you from leaving you know."

He blinked as the child was put off on him again and she was off to horses again. "Don't ruin your new jewelry already..." Shaking his head and nodding to the child. "Yes, but not too much." Reaching down he picked the boy up and started inside wiht him...though his paranoia was still kicking at him and he had learned to pay attention to that. But inside with him and starting Kelligrin's bath.

She was just finishing up feeding the horses when the sudden movement of her baby assaulted her. If she wasn't careful, Sevilin was going to tie her to the bed. Walking back out, she rested a hand on her belly and then frowned at a piece of fabric that caught her eye. It was orange which was neither spectacular nor dismissable. Approaching with caution, the unmistakable scent of her son assaulted her and she walked over and picked it up. No blood. He must have ripped his shirt earlier that day or something. Typical of that boy.
"I know that. You wouldn't do anything that might make me suspicious. For some reason, you chose me and decided that I was going to be helpful to you." Glancing at her. "I don't fully trust you but you know that. There's a ruthlessness about you. And I don't like the fact you have colleagues."

once she was outside the runic protection, when she stood up, he was standing in front of her. a quick motion to clamp a hand over her mouth and point his dagger not at her throat, but at her belly.
"calm and quiet now. You and I have business. and don't think that your unborn means anything to me."
"Because you can get information, and because your good looking, and you benefit me more then others."
A shrug.
"Personally, I have little use for them, same my wizardess friend...who was how we got there. I'd rather have come alone had not the indigo brotherhood and the ebon mask not insisted on sending representatives."

She hadn't been alert...she hadn't been paying enough attention and now she was stuck. The point of the dagger pressed into her stomach and she sucked it in as best she could to protect the living energy inside her. He knew she was pregnant...bad news number one. She'd crossed the border herself, bad news number two. Her eyes flared but she calmed and quieted and simply nodded. This had to be about Malik.
"Do I? So you're using me." That worried him slightly but he supposed he understood it. "Indigo brotherhood? What do they want? Really?"

"good girl."
putting his hand away from her mouth.
"Now. your husband. I want some of him. a sample, if you would. and everything you know about Piper D'vinn."
keeping everything covered but his eyes, and holding his bag over his shoulder now after picking it up. looking over her a bit.
"You do cut a fine figure though. maybe I can get something else out of you as well."
"Not in the manner your implying."
a small smirk.
"I really do own stables in Neriak, and that was a real contract you signed. and I don't take lovers that I don't feel attracted to even on a purely physical level."
frowning.
"well..to understand that, you'd have to understand neriak. when the Queen does something, King Naythox strives to balance her out. they are at odds, you see. So the queen wants info, he sends those loyal to him to kind of keep an eye. and that one volunteered."

He was absolutely nuts. She waited for him to release her and then her fingers glowed with her own magic, sending a shock through his body. "I'm not giving you anything!" Narrowing her eyes, "Who are you and what do you want with Piper D'vinn?"
"I'll uphold that contract." He wasn't sure how she really felt but was willing to listen, he supposed. "Are they together?" Because his parents weren't like that... they were at odds sometimes but they didn't check up on each other. "In love?"

Oh that got a grunt of pain...before a dagger slice it's way along her thigh, cutting through clothing and skin with ease.
"Minx."
replacing that dagger, and shoving her down hard. he had the advantages of speed and strength in this case.. and putting a boot down just above where her belly was, though indeed passing the threat he'd stomp on her there if need be.
"Sevilin Inthara has a unique way of channeling magic and his own essence. I will learn how this is accomplished. and you will help me. and I wouldn't suggest trying your magic again."
he took the misery chain out of his bag, and let it dangle over her belly.
"I wonder. can these affect the unborn?"
A chuckle there.
"Maybe a long time ago. before they became the first of the Tier'dal. now..no, they are together to preserve their power over Neriak. and they are constantly ready to undermine and kill to keep the balance...or take all the power for them selves."

She refused to cry out in pain even if it did hurt. Sevilin had her runed just like all the kids and she knew he'd be alerted and be out there in the space of a second. A shiver of fear flew through her at the threat to her baby and she forced herself to calm down. "Sevilin Inthara has a unique way of doing a lot of things. That doesn't mean I know how it's done." She was bluffing of course but then again, she was pretty good at that.
"That's...sad." He knew it hailed back to the original drow way of thought but that didn't make it any easier to understand. "So they don't even like each other? But they like the power and they'll do whatever it takes to keep it." Sounded to him like a life of reverie with a dagger in his bed. No, that wasn't pleasant. "And you want to go back to that life?"

"come now. your his wife. he obviously sleeps with you. and you expect me to believe you don't know an intimate detail like that? but that's why I need a sample. the necromancers of the lodge of the dead can find it out then."
leaning over a bit, putting a bit of pressure on her.
"I could make you tell me. I could make you tell me everything I want to know with this device. you know what it is, don't you?"
letting the hook swing back and forth over her.
"Why don't you be a good girl and just tell me about Piper. maybe you'll get a treat if you do."
She shrugged.
"That's the life we all are born to. if your willing to teach me how you harness your internal power, it'll be a great help to my standing. I coudl advance in ranks of the Spurned guild and I could improve my social standings tremendously."

That chain's swinging duly froze in midair as if time had stopped it and a moment later the assassin's dagger shatterd into harmless little pieces. "You are making a grave mistake of the likes you won't ever be able to repeat." See, trust the paranoia. Kelligrin had been put in the playpen in the kitchen and he was pretty sure he'd have toddler screaming to deal with...but this was more important than upset toddlers.

"Yes but..." A treat in the form of what? Drow treats were far more negative then their name claimed. Yes, she did know what that was and she knew intimately of just what it was capable of. Swallowing down her fear, she opened her mouth to say something, her eyes glued to the motion of that chain, and then the lack of motion. "Sevilin!" Wait, could this go bad? Maybe she was just the bait. "Be careful. He wants part of you."
He set down his cape and turned to study her closely. "I already told you how to do it. It just takes practice." Shaking his head and walking over to her. "Here, put some clothes on and sit up. I'll give you an impromptu lesson."

Gizdean smirked lightly, and glanced up at Sevilin.
"I happened to like that dagger."
before adjusting his foot down a bit, and flicking his wrist behind his back. that triggered the drop of very tiny almost arrowhead sized blades into his palm. each with a different poison. mana draining, blood flowing, and his personal favorite with the combo muscle relaxer and spasm inducer. slow someone down and put them in a lot of pain all at the same time.
"That's right. I'd like a sample of you, if you don't mind. blood, hair, skin...don't care what. we need to learn more about you."
glancing at Zahara.
"But your woman here. she has some other information I'd like. I may have to keep her a bit longer if she doesn't feel like talking. I really was hoping to avoid unpleasentries. but she brought it on herself."
then turning his eyes back to sevilin, putting a little weight on Zahara's stomach.
"And keep acting so violent yourself, and you may not be a parent again. I don't think I'm being too unreasonable here."
"telling someone and being able to do as told are not always as easy as that."
but she gave a small smile and went to put on her robe, before settling down on the bed and patting the spot next to her.

"I'm sure you have six more on your person somewhere of the exact same make." Frowning at him though and another flick of his fingers got pressure around the other's ankle, yanking it away from his wife's stomach. "Seems I'm very popular and you're not the first to say that to me." His look hardening all the more and a visible flare of energy on his person. "You do not want to make such a grave mistake as that. You let her go, information you want isn't going to be gained with this method. And this is me being nice, you don't want to see me get violent."

She winced as the pressure on her abdomen built and she tried to keep as calm as possible. Those two were throwing power plays at each other and she was still lying on the ground, trapped beneath a very large boot. Her husband seemed to realize this and she pushed herself up and swiped her own quickly released dagger against his own thigh. "Don't you cut me again. I already told you I'm not telling you anything and you sure as hell aren't going to do anything to my husband. Why don't you just turn around and go back to your own plane?"
"Very well." He settled back on the bed and demonstrated the meditative position: crossed legs, relaxed hands, straight back and head and locked gaze. "You have to be in a completely calm state. Take a moment and get into tune with your body. Know your blood and it's patterns, feel the breath leaving your lungs and entering once again, time your heartbeat, and be aware of the slightest change in your bodily systems. When you've got that, you can begin with the second part."
