"They were very thoughtful gifts yes. Quite honored to have them." Couldn't lie about that. Sometimes it was hard to find craftsmanship of that level. It was part of the reason anything like that or metal worked that came from Malik did sell easily.
Uh oh, it was sword summoning while other stuff was going on. That usually meant that it was serious. But he got himself up and made his way to his father's study, walking in to see a whole host of people. "This looks like an I'm in trouble meeting."
"The point is more just to rest than do anything that may aggrivate what's wrong. It's always a healer's first order." Letting her readjust against her and rubbing at her back lightly again. "I know you don't...but we all have to see what we don't want to sometimes. Hopefully you'll make more good than bad and drown out the bad.
"Now you see it my way." Chuckling lightly and giving a snort of air though to try and clear his nose some from that stench that was stuck in it as he brought a hand to let it play with her hair. "Not lately."
She happily sat where she was put in his workshop and tangled her fingers together, happily listening and smelling and feeling a thing to two Broog would give her to heep her occupied. She just liked hearding the tapping sound the most when he worked.

She gazed at the boy who had come to join them, marveling at how much he'd grown since she'd last seen him. Everyone was growing up far too fast, Vale included. "No trouble. We're simply inviting you to come along to Andal with us." Perhaps the boy would be less likely to be upset if he thought it was a vacation rather than being forced to go. And Malik could chose whether or not he wanted to physically kick his son through the gate.
"But I don't feel bad." That's what she couldn't understand. She didn't feel awful, she barely even felt sick and yet it seemed she still was. "Can we go sit in that special room of your mother's? I miss the trees and such and I've had such a desire to paint lately but I'd rather sketch it out first." And that would serve to distract her as well.
"You knew you were right when you said such things. It just took me a little while to catch on." Glancing up at him for a moment and then nodding. "Well, I am. And I'm going to make it up to you soon, too." She just hadn't quite figured out how yet. "Can you take a few days off work in the next two weeks or so? Lyssie wants us to come to Deepwater for some ceremony or something and I believe Kariel has another race coming up."

metal was smelted and molded and heavy calloused and unfeeling fingers were molding the metal by hand to the shape of the show before heating it up again and tapping it with his hammers and shapers figuring how to attach it to the shoe since the usual bootnails weren't going to work on this point, though the heels were done and shined and polished up, and he had given her the boots for the moment to let her feel the new metal on the backs and the bottom and test it out if she wanted while he was figuring how to get the mithril toe cover part to work.
Of course Malik's look said it wasn't just an invitation and that he was going to go wether he liked it or not. The boy was feeling worse and worse with the wanderlust and top that off with worry and an already problematic heart, he needed to get away for a bit. for his own good.
"You need some time to wander, and they are willing to let you enjoy yourself to your hearts content. plus, I need you to also be there since Galesen has been slacking of late to make sure things go smoothly with the devices were sending with them. just make sure the instructions are followed and if they need more or if there's some issue, let me know. I'd send your brother but he has his hands full with kaelin right now so I need you to go there anyway. It's a nice vacation for you and if they need something you can contact me."

It was always an interesting smell when he was doing these things but as usual aside from a question or two she was quiet and let him work as she listened on. But when she had to do her thing she did, putting boots on and walking around. Sounding a noice in delight at the rather melodic noises and approving before he was given the boots back and again she was placed where it was safe. "You gotta tell daddy it's a good thing." Daddy listened to Broog.
"Inviting me to Andal..." Since when did he need an invitation to go? His father was quite to solidify that so called invitation too. He nodded but frowned then, "What about Sa-"
"Savryn will be just fine Dhairiss. She'll be having so much fun learning something new that she'll hardly notice you're gone. I promise you she won't be upset that you're not around and she'll be fine just as she always is." Heading that off before they had the chance to argue back and forth about it. Dhairiss was going, that was final. "You need to take a break to let yourself recover some and you need to help your father."
It was easy to tell by the boy's quiet nature and how he wasn't arguing that he knew he wasn't going to win this one. Probably because his parents were on the same side. "Go get some things for you tripp young D'vinn. We're leaving as soon as we can, so don't stall." Watching him go and then looking back to the boy's parents. "Are you sure you want him to go with us?"
"That's the problem with not being well. Half the time you feel fine but you're not all the way." However he gave a moment of consideration before he nodded and got himself up. Moving around the room he got her sketchbook and supplies, handing them to her to hold before he scooped her up to carry her outside. "I don't see any harm in that. But if you look like you're getting bad again it's right back inside."
"Long as these earthquakes and such are nothing too serious and with them concentrating on Savryn at the moment and with things going well as they are, I don't see why I can't take some time off. I haven't done so in a while." Blinking. "I thought Kariel wasn't racing anymore..."

"Yes. he's having a bout of wanderlust and frankly she grating on my last nerve. I'm about ready to open a gateway myself and just throw him through it and wish him the best of luck."
Glancing at them both.
"Just try to keep him under control for a bit. and I'd watch your vaults or any treasures you have locked away. he loves to play with that talent of his."
Broog gave a pleased grunt, since well she couldn't see a smile or a nod of his head really, and took the boots back, working ont he fronst now. he'd weld the leather and the metal and leather together with studs that would melt into it and harden it with the rubber of the boot's bottom.
"Broog will tell. now all done, bootses for yous."

"Fair enough. You can say your goodbyes to him and send him down to the portal. Come along Lhia." Taking their supplies with instructions and giving Malik one of those nods that in man speak meant thank you and that they're work out payment soon as the trouble was over. But that was all before him and Lhia were downstairs waiting for the boy.
Which he showed up a few minutes later to indeed get goodbyes from his parents. Hugs and encouragement and what not but he was still clearly not too happy. "And...you'll tell me if anything is going wrong...right?"
She gave a gesture to him to shoo and go on. "Everything will be fine, there will be no reason to worry. I promise you'll enjoy yourself. It's in your blood to." Finally getting the boy to head downstairs and to the other two elves at the portal and she turned a look on her husband. "There, now you can do what you need to do as well." Blinking though at some odd tapping noise. What was that?
He got a squeal and a hug from her as he finished and gave her boots back. Eager to slip them on she walked back and forth a few times to try them out and was quite delighted as even her draithix tried to chew and was stopped. "Thank you Broog!" Another hug and then she was wandering from his little workshop, boots happily tapping around on the stone. Hm...it made her ears hear differerent.

Malik knew what the tapping noise was...but a similar confused look to his wife.
"Yes..and those sound like taps..like you find on fancy dress shoes in human military. but I don't know of anyone here that has those...and certainly not someone down here."
Or at least not anyone that was supposed to be down here.
"Maybe Malikhai?"

"Not to mention that we rarely fancy up our shoes down here seeing as the rock ruins everything from roughing it up." And the Brigade members weren't wearing them. "Malikhai wears metal on his boots for protection, not for fancy. Besides he's like you, a noise that like would drive him up a wall if it was being made constantly. Time to investigate?"
Tap tap tap tap. This was very very interesting. She could 'see' the house's layout from the counting and feeling she had done and what she remembered. But now she was seemingly 'seeing' it in another way from the sounds that her boots were making. Distracted she boot toe caught on a stair, producing a lound ring of metal that made her pause. Now that was even more different and interesting. She was practically giddy in what was happening here.

"Apparently so."
and leading the way, following the tapping sound as it was heading towards the stairs, then a loud ring as something hit something else..like a trip or a mistake. but who in the world would trip up going up the....damn it.
"Savyrn."

"Cinnamon says it's troublesome." Chuckling to that and following after him to the tapping, which was quite easy to track and sure enough as he said there was Savryn...though what was she doing, playing on the stairs? A touch at his shoulder and she gave him a hushing motion before looking back to their daughter. What was she doing indeed?
Quite wrapped up in her own little world she was paying no attention to her parents as they had come into her area. She was yes indeed playing on the stairs...or rather kicking at them to make that sound a time or two and her attention would turn elsewhere to something in the room, looking at it dead on. Another kick and then a noise that said she found something and she hoped down from the stairs and wandered past her parents to a nearby chair, dropping down to the floor and feeling under it, pulling out a book and promptly being pounced by Bumbles who wanted said book. "I knew you hid it! Mine. You have toys of your own."
That was new...Savryn knew where to look but she didn't 'look' at all. "She's using the sound from her boots. Where did she get those?" That was another question altogether.

"echolocation. like a bat does. or a dolphin. impressive to learn to do that at such a young age..it's like learning to blindfight."
glancing at her boots a moment.
"I'll put five steel against your cinnamon to say it's Broog's work. He's the only person down here I think she even knows about, much less would go to."

"She's been doing this for some years now. You call it impressive, I call it quick wit. Though you do like to boast about the natural talents your children pop up with." But a little noise of distaste at him. "That's not fair. When Broog is a potential answer and metal is involved, then he thus becomes always the answer. That's like cheating." Tilting her head some. "I should be worried about her around sharp pointy and hot things, and yet I'm not." Because if she was with Broog, nothing would happen to her and they all knew that. "Bet you can use that in this training you're planning on putting her through."

She wrapped an arm around his shoulders to give him a bit of comfort as they stepped through the portal. "It's going to be just fine, Dhairiss. There's plenty for you to do on Andal's plentiful shores."
She wrapped her arms around his neck, biting her tongue when she wanted to say that she could walk just fine. He wanted to take care of her and that was very sweet of him to try. "I promise." Clutching her sketchpad and charcoal as she was carried out to the conservatory and she pointed to a spot beneath a tree out of the direct light. "Over there, please. You can stay out here with me or you don't have to. I know the light bothers your eyes."
"Those earthquakes worry me, Sevilin. The plane is losing energy. You felt it a few weeks ago and never mentioned anything to me." He was sensitive to any and all vibrations with the magical core of the plane he was stationed on. Since he gave and took energy from the natural movement of the plane, it was important that he knew those types of things. "He took a momentary leave and missed it too much. He's not ready to give it up yet. And his party boy personality requires gold."

"well it's the only person I can think of. unless your mother or father brought them for her."
watching her a moment longer, before clearing his throat some.
"Savryn. What are you doing down here?"

"See, that's a much better answer that I could have won with. Why couldn't you do that one first and then I could have said Broog." Messing with him because he could, touch a hand reached out to stop Savryn from running into them as she had jogged over with tapping boots when Malik called for her. She was good at this mothering stuff.
Indeed she had moved over to her parents as her father called her name. "I heard noise and I came to see what it was. Broog was draggin' things again."
"You better promise. Otherwise I'll have Zahara all over me, inducing pain for making you feel worse in the long run. It'll be tournament all over again for me." Snickering at that as he set her down and scratched at the back of his neck. "I never understood why it doesn't bother you as well." And he'd been to the surface more times than her as well.
"I thought it was just me being all off kilter again. I didn't give it too much thought but it's a fair observation to make now on your part. Which is why I'm looking into it." Blinking though at her other piece of information. "Well, long as he doesn't act stupid about it."
