"you'd be surprised how easy war can break out, and how fast it can spread."
giving a light grin.
"Just making sure she doesn't try to use them for anything that might be bad for her. bud drops are no big deal. Although, come to think of it, we need to get her a pair of gloves, now don't we. I'm sure piper will be thrilled at that."

"Which is why I'm trying to avoid it as much as I can. War is often like a bad rash. Spreads, and is annoying on several levels, plus itches constantly." Though he did grin, the things that could pass through his head at the thought of the girl trying to get things off of him that she could use for her own study. "A good pair of gloves is always a must. Though it all depends on how fast you go through them. I'm due for a new pair myself soon. I've about worn the palms out of my current ones."
"I don't want gloves." No, she still did not want gloves despite what her teacher was trying to talk her into about them. Gloves were not good. How was she supposed to feel things. Thusly a little frown from her before it was back to picking out the saltier little pieces of rock and eating them like a candy.
"Why are we talking about gloves now? I could use some new ones." Inserting herself into the conversation as she was still drying her hair with one hand and Fianna was plopping down next to Kieran. Though Malik was presented with both towel and brush as she moved around his chair to perch herself on his knee. Hey the hair was still his responsibilitiy.

Duely drying her hair and brushing it without missing a beat in the conversation.
"Savyrn has apparently been playing with dead things. she used a pet of her own today. her teacher thought it a good idea that she get some gloves to help prevent the possible infection of disease into her bloodstream. I think we can work out a compromise with them that will be beneficial to all parties. maybe some fingerless ones like your archery gloves."
looking over at Fianna.
"And I do hope that you won't be too put off this evening. in light of Piper's antics today, and because you both were foolish, we're having a special dinner of some underdark specialities. and this time Piper can't drown them in cinnamon."
A grin at his wife.
"adn your daughter offered so interesting ideas for my lycan problem. she's got her mother's penchant for problem solving."

"There was a leech on my ear." No she still wasn't over that. Which Kieran got punched in the arm for laughing at that fact as she mentioned it again. "I suppose a good meal will chase the cold out and the thoughts of other things."
Was no one listening? "I don't want gloves." Cue frown that it. Hadn't she made herself clear?
Piper wrinkled her nose at that information. "Now didn't I tell you that that was one of those things I didn't like the thought of and someone should be watching out for those kinds of things?" Though Piper knew she had to make some allowances for the necromancy thing...thing child just shouldn't be allowed to get her own materials yet. However a look to the girl who was protesting. "Now Savvy, if you want to do those kinds of things on your own for your study, you're going to have to wear gloves. Daddy's right. We'll get you a pair like mine so nothing is covering your fingers and you can still feel things like you like to. But you can't wash your hands all the time dear, that's all, so you have to wear gloves. We'll get a pair made just for you and only you. You can even have more than one pair, maybe something like your boots. Wouldn't that be fun?"
Of course she knew how to manipulate the child into doing what needed to be done through sheer intrigue. It was a mother's job to know how to make her children do such things. She got a noise of the child who promptly went back to her treat and Piper turned her attention back to her husband. "Just let her have her way about how she wants them. Generic gloves are a sin anyway." Though he got a raised eyebrow. "You're punishing me with food and a lack of cinnamon? And do tell how she knows anything about such projects to even offer any advice. Though I will proudly claim the problem solving gene, yes."

"Well I was discussing it with Kieran while you were out and she was in the room and she offered her own take on the situation and ideas to solve the problem. your oldest son left as soon as her lessons were done so he wouldn't have to babysit her, and I don't know where he ran off to."
grinning lightly, and finishing brushing out her hair.
"And yes I know your thoughts on regular gloves even though they served me well enough."

"Well isn't that cute." Very amusing indeed, but it was nice to know that he was at the very least tolerating Savryn around in his so called normal things. Especially with the girl piping up her own opinion on matters. Savryn liked to be involved and she was a smart girl. "Your gloves are made to keep your hands clean and you don't care if they get destroyed." A run through of fingers through her hair some, making sure he got all the knots out and what not. Usually she didn't have to worry. "No really...what are you talking about with dinner and lack of cinnamon. Though I suppose I shouldn't worry too much. I always have things to withhold from you, chop off, and subjects to prod you with. Payback is lovely isn't it?" Getting herself up then and turning to look at him with her hands on her hips. "Well get up man. I actually have an appetite today."

"Hey now, you went off running without regard to some very basic safety rules. just because your Piper doesn't mean you shouldn't be punished when you do bad things. after all you set an example for your children."
getting himself up and poking her nose lightly. Yes using being a parent as leverage was amusing.
"but yes we have a nice meal to get to and it's all underdark fare. I think though that Fianna might want to stay away from the cooked slugs. though they are rather tasty with the right seasoning. not to mention you can even make jerky out of them."

"If this meal makes me throw up, I swear I will wring your neck Malik. And then make you do horrible horrible things. Don't try me."
"Says the man who does far worse than I with impressionable children about. Mhm. Just remember, payback." Making her way off, Savryn in tow, to the dining room. "Hey, I eat some pretty weird things. You think you're going to scare me or something? Please. I'm a survivalist. I thrive on dirt and outside things. You're the prissy inside, food cooked, no dirt one. You've made me eat weird before nad I'm not surprised." Yes she was still chipper. "Besides, you have a lot of questions to answer. So there."

"No not trying to scare you. and what questions would those be, Chev'?"
before settling down at the table after lightly touching his sword to alert family for dinner time. and yes, a fine sampling of underdark food. salad made with entirely underdark vegetables, indeed there were kabobs with slugs seared and spiced and a haunch of Jhereg, as well as many desserts and other delectables to the underfoot that while what they were made of might be unknown and it might not be the best choice to ask about it.
"And it's not a sbad as it looks, Fianna. I thought you Fier'dal enjoyed outdoor food."
giving a slight grin at her.

"Things about Norrath. You are planning a trip there still? I'm not going to have you spring it on me. As much as I enjoy spontenatity from you, there are children now and not a snap your fingers babysitter about." Though nothing at the table bothered her at all. Neriak and general underdark learned really. More surface oriented foods were delicacies when one didn't have proper connections. What was on the table was normal and that's what you ate. Or you starved. And when done right it all didn't taste half bad either. Which was why she was putting things on her plate without much thought. "Though if it is moving, you might want to bang it on the table to make it stop that first." Giving a light chuckle to that. Oh yes, still enjoying bothering the mother. "Might want to stay away from that thing right there though, I'm allergic to that."
Fianna looked indeed quite unsettled as she overviewed the table. Perhaps even moreso as Kieran was taking to this like a fish to water. Then again he tried everything so she shouldn't be surprised. Piper was not helping either, be it with her comments or what she was eating herself. "Yes well...some of us are more pampered than others. While we can hunt our own food, and eat our boots if it came down to it, some of us just don't have to go to extremes." Though yes she was looking to see if anything was moving...now she was all paranoid.
Savryn was taking to it with some caution as well. Mostly because while she had had a majority of what was on the table, there were some new things as well as things prepared in ways she wasn't used to seeing. Which meant a lot of poking and such on her part.
"Smells good. We're going all native tonight?" Of course he was down with Kaelin in tow of him for dinner. These two had no problem with such fair. Be it from her always eating this way, surface food was weirder toher, and Khai and his father having many a meal together without surfacy things. He couldn't help but give a grin at the vibe in the room. "Are we pressing boundaries tonight?"

A slight grin.
"ah. yes still planning on that trip indeed. and feel free to ask any and all questions. I'm sure Kieran probably is just as eager for the answers."
before looking over at Fianna.
"The only thing that moves is supposed to. that would be the snake looking thing right there. if it stops moving, then you should worry. and it's only moving due to the preparation, not because it's still alive."
Before looking over at his son.
"Just a bit. your mother decided to take her mother out to play, so I thought I'd continue the trend in my own manner. and Kaelin, nice to see you...how are you feeling?"

"I think the all inclusive question is simply, where are we going, who are we seeing, and what else is going on in your brain regarding said trip. Like I said, I'm not going to have you waking me up one day and being all 'hey let's go!'. Besides, that's my bit and you can't steal it. Are you sure I can't have cinnamon? That just seems cruel." Though she made a noise of protest. "Hey now, don't get it wrong. I didn't do any dragging. She's the one who dragged me out, I'm not to blame. I would have been happy lounging in my solarium. She wanted to play in the underdark. Don't let that sweet look fool you. She's trouble."
"Oh I can see this should be a lot of fun. No worries grandma. He wouldn't feed you anything that would kill you. Maybe something hard to get down just for the experience but definately something that won't kill you."
She was quiet as usual but gave a smile and a nod to people she was working on getting used to calling family as she took a seat at the table. "I'm feeling better thank you. It probably was just a passing bug. I was warned about such things before we went anyway."
"And yet I am still unsettled...and I'm not eating anything that moves at all. Alive or not." Yes pretty much everyone else was chowing down save for her. She was picking at a thing or two that Kieran would plop on her plate after trying it himself. Of course he was being the helpful one.

"good to hear."
before giving a grin to Fianna.
"If you start eatting like piper, I'll do to you what I did to her. now come on and get yourself something."
then his attention to Piper.
"I have a few places in particular I'd like to take the family to. there's Luclin, which is the moon...there's Paineel, on Odus. I'm not exactly welcome in Erudin. We'll be avoiding Neriak I think. We could probably enjoy Nektulos forest or the Lesser Faydark. Ak'anon might be doable. Thurgadin is doable but we'll see on that. Velious is a glacial continent, wouldn't want anyone to be getting sick just to see the coldain city. and we'll have to see the pandas. as for people to meet. well that depends on where we go."

"That means he more or less hold you down and forces food down your throat. It's not very pleasant I assure you." But a tilt of her head at Malik as she ate and he explained things. Most of which went over her head because of all the things she knew about Norrath were mostly Neriak, a few planes that Malik could or could not go, those damn koada'dal and various other damn things. They hadn't done too much plane wide traveling there.
"Avoiding Neriak would be good. They don't like me there and while I'm sure I would have fun making trouble, we don't need that kind of trouble if we're dragging other people around. Sounds like we're staying more surface bound this time?"

"well Ak'anon is underground. so is Thurgadin...carved into a mountain. Paineel is carved into the inside of a cliff, overlooking the Hole. Lesser Faydark is indeed a forest on the surface. and Luclin is both surface and underground."
enjoying his meal while they were discussing things.
"and yes, I will hold you down fianna. I'll even get Kieran to help and I bet he would just for notebook material."
