"No, I'm not going to lie to him. He'd find out anyway and he can see right through me. I mean...not like I got my jaw broken." She hoped. A lot of pain, a bit of blood, nice mark forming there. Hell she was quite proud of herself that she put down a man named Big Jack who had Malik's build. But still, he would throw a fit or a lecture. Serino trotted lazily into the perimeter, Piper dismounting and him going off to hang with the nightmare. Silly Zephyr. But she walked through the grounds and inside. Only to find Malik pacing. "Hey you, sorry I was out so long. I didn't worry you too much did I?" Her voice was kept soft and she offered him a smile.

He looked up, and smiled softly, but that smile became a frown, then a bit of an angry look, then just plain upset.
"I've been worried sick. and what happened to your jaw?"
He walked over, lightly turning her head for a better look at it.
"It looks like someone hit you."
empahsis on teh word 'hit' which ment the one that did the hitting better not cross his path.

Piper sighed lightly but let him do his inspecting. "Well dear, that's because someone did hit me. Hard too, about knocked me to the floor and busted my jaw. Really it's nothing, just a little bar fight." Of course his next question would be 'well why were were in a bar Piper?' so she covered that too. "Me and Serino came across a rather unsavory town and I just though I could go see if I could gather some information. Ended up in a tavern hosing a man named Big Jack who thought he was God's gift to woman, ruled everything and got whatever he wanted under the sun. Obviously, we didn't agree on that all." But she raised her hand, taking hold of his wrist gently. "I didn't mean to worry you."

first reaction, homicidal rage, second reaction, anger from worry, third reaction, a bit of a sigh.
"He didn't walk away, did he? and I know you don't mean to worry me and I know you mean well looking for information. and id you find anything out?"
He gave her jaw another inspection.
"And where was this place, so I can make sure you avoid it in the future."
And vent his anger on some poor gladiator slave that was going to get the s**t beat out of him by a angry Malik.
"And we need to do somethign about those nails of yours. I woke up looking like I'd been whipped."

"Well he can walk but he won't be using his arms for quite some time I can tell you that." She knew he would be upset like this. "Well rather north of here, they didn't seem to recognize me. I'm beginning to think that we don't go out much. And when we go to Deep Water for tournaments we either do low profile or in disguise. Yeah I got treated like quite the little insignificant thing. I believe that place was called Lostagrace." Then she blinked about the nail comment and raised up the rather jagged broken nail. "I blame this one." Piper attempted a smile at him but it didn't hold up to well. "Alright, I'll file down my nails." Then a little quiet. "You're not angry with me are you?" A tilt of her head at the question despite any pain she may be in. Yes she always asked that question after she blundered herself into something like this.

"No, I'm not angry with you, Piper. I'm rather proud that you handled yourself well and got out of there without me having to come get you and kill someone. and you know I don't need you to file your nails, I just poke at you about it."
A small kiss, and a grin.
"the best way to know how good I was is to see how scratched up my back is. as for the disguise or profile..I bet it's low profile. I didn't find any kind of disguises around here."

Of course that brightened her mood some and she smiled. Might as well get all the smiling and the like done before pain put her in no mood to talk and to only cuddle with something cold. "Well...he asked if I could use my bow and arrow well...so I showed him that I could. Besides, I wasn't going to let him think he could have my collar...and he called me several things that I think he got well paid back for." Okay so she was proud of her too and that fact that Malik as proud as well. But she crossed her arms. "Last time you said it was the screaming..." But she still planned to take her nails down some regardless. "Find anything else out around here? Business types? Proof of our third party?" Piper took to unclasping her cloak, folding it over her arm.

"No third party. buisness dealings I notcied are all through gladitorial combat and the tournament, a few slave sales while in Deepwater. I think mayhaps...this third party is a myth. a fabricated person that they target as the enemy while we do our buisness. like a distraction. either that or they just aren't around here at all right now."
He took her cloak and hug it up for her, and grinned lightly.
"The screaming is a good sign too. and for last night..boy are you apparently really turned on by being outdoors. I think you even spooked the Nightmare."
Then back to buisness.
"So either we keep low profile, don't go out much, or in essence completely avoid Lostagrace. good to know, since I don't plan on letting you go back, that our absence won't raise questions."

"Really now? Well that's a bit odd I mean...who knows maybe you're right. Didn't that girl mention something called Purians that were of elvish decent and us using them as our cover? Maybe that's it...we probably cover our ears when we go into Deep Water. I mean if I'm supposed to have my way then that's what I would do." Then she smiled lightly, looking to him with a glint of gold in her eyes. "Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Then again, Fier'Dal, so I guess it would make sense really." Spooked the nightmare, how hilarious." Then she shrugged lightly. "I don't plan on going back there, believe me. Not after almost getting almost smashed by over sized critters, falling in holes, and then almost getting my lights punched out."

'If I compete, I'm willign to wager I wear my armor. that covers my skintone up, so no way to tell if I'm elvish or not. you're mixed heritage lets you pass as human with your ears back..so I'll wager that's the case. Malik the black knight and Piper his owner."
A small chuckle at that.
"oversized critters, and falling down a hole. you did have quite a day, didn't you. but if we use the Purians as cover, than I bet this 'third person' if they are a myth is a Purian. that way they take the heat and we don't."

"Or someone got a glimpse of my ears or just you and they thought we were Purian." Then she blinked at him. "Be lucky I don't take after my father too much or else I couldn't pass for human so easily either. But you're probably right, I passed easily enough as one in Lostagrace." She shrugged lightly before raising a hand to rub at her jaw. "Quite a day indeed but I'm glad to be back here with you. And inside of someplace for that matter. Means I can relax...and I can let my ears loose. One tends to suffer more than the other you know." And in due fashion she untied her bandana, shoving it into her pocket. Another smile at him and she decided to poke. "So, did you miss me or just worry yourself?"

"Of course I missed you. and I was worried as well."
A grin at her blink.
"Just becuase I don't show a grand reaction doesn't mean I don't listen. you told me about your mixed heritage before. and yes, that one ear of yours.."
He reached out and brushed it lightly with his finger.
"does cause you some trouble, doesn't it. I spent some time in the spa after I woke, and just let my mind wander to thoughts of you. Yes I do think about you and miss you and the like."
and he pulled her over by her hand, and gave her a gentle kiss, wary of her jaw.
"and you know, I can do that a bit more freely. as it's you who's supposed to be the hard one here."
A chuckle at that.

"Sometimes I forget I tell you things that I don't tell anyone else. I mean, mixed blood can be a bad thing sometimes. I just happened to get a good deal and what not. Take the looks of my father with all the hardiness of my mother. Durable and cute to look at too." She gave a chuckle at that and a slight shiver when he touched her ears. She could briefly remember that other times in the beginning she still flinched regardless of which ear he fiddle with. "It just fusses over being pinned back so long as opposed to the other which finds itself quite comfortable." Damn ears gave her bad days sometimes. But a kiss from him smoothed her thoughts over and then her eyes lit up in that happy Piper fashion. "You know, I never thought about that. You're right. But it doesn't really matter what I feel like doing here. I'm ruler here and I'm taking pages from your book. It's my place and I'll do damn well what I please in it with who I please. Namely my tournament champion." Of course she had to pick at him with it before lacing an arm around his own and leaning into him. "Boy I woke up sore this morning and I'll do so again. You going to bring me ice as I lie in bed and cry like a wimp?"

A smile at her poking and fun, and he held her hand, leanign back agasint her.
"You're the one in charge, Mistress Piper..I'll do anything you wish me to do."
That smooth as silk seductive and inviting voice of his, the one that he used when dealing with women customers back in thier orignal home..the one that made them just want to buy one to hear him talk like that again.
"and yes, you're tourmament champion. I checked the papers. your the one who's been entering me, not me entering myself. perhaps I was the one wearing a collar in this plane."

"Perhaps. I mean after all there had to be some way to control you, especially if I knew you could win tournaments and most likely easily take me out. Though that's a rather disheartening fact knowing that I may have used a collar on you." Though she couldn't help the oh so pleased smile or the fact that she closed her eyes at the sound of his voice like that. Sometimes that voice was a damn good weapon on her and he knew it too. And he was all hers too. "I like the sound of that...anything I wish." Okay so he knew how to break her down be it with a smooth move or just cinnamon sticks. But she wasn't complaining. Piper nuzzled his shoulder not caring about the pain the action brought. Hell he was even a pain killer sometimes.
