"I am sorry, my Mistress," he replied, his eyes boring angrily into the floor. He would become of use to her somehow, and when he was firmly with her mark he would let his cowardice drop. It wasn't like he had always been this way. The floor seemed to melt a little in his gaze, as if his attempts to take his frustration out on something was actually working, though he was sure it was only the embarrassed heat that had taken to his face that made it seem like so.
He looked down at the crudely drawn symbol and picked up the pen, moving to resketch the symbol in a more artistic way. If there was one thing he was good at, it was his control over his hands and their touch, making it easy for him to bring any image he sought to his mind onto paper. Soon the symbol was redrawn, with an ornate and stone pommelled hilt and a corded whip that coiled around the blade with a dark edge to its braide, the end flicking coyly up towards the pommel where the hilt was wrapped tightly by the handle of the whip.
Not knowing if this might please his mistress or not he bow and held the paper out to her, his gaze studying the pen that remained in his hand while he waited for her judgement on the sketch.(I had tried to sketch that, and I scanned it, but it was on the school's computer and for some reason I forgot to send it to myself with my other scans XP )

Xee tried not to seem like she was watching her male as closely as she was. But it was hard to hide the subtle interest she had. He seemed honestly upset by her words. Which in a way was good. If even a off hand admonishment like this was enough to upset him it would mean it would take very little effort to control him. Simply witholding her favor or expressing dissappointment might be all she'd ever have to do.
As a small test Xee took the drawing handed to her and glanced over it thoughtfully. It was far better then her childish scrawl. Then again. Xee wasn't exactly training to be a artist. Her skill came in how quickly she could put a blade into someones vitals.
"Not bad... I like it. It'll look very nice on you too. Okay then." She responded while handing the paper back to her male. _Her- male! She really did like these changes that were coming about...although..she needed to find out more about the others. Hmm..
"Elaughfein, tell me...have you kept in contact with Lespomph and Micarvyr? I want to find them and talk with them as well." Her fingers tapped gently upon the arm of the chair as she allowed a wry twist of her lips to form. "I may need to make certain they won't make a fuss when I try to claim them again too."

His eyes brightened at her praise, then quickly darkened again at her mention of Lesomph and Marcavyr. "Marcavyr has surrounded himself in his studies and has neglected to keep contact for a while, my mistress," Elaughfein replied, glad that this failing would be hard pressed to place blame on himself.
The whereabouts, or lack thereof, of Lesomph, unfortunately, were harder for Elaughfein to divulge. It had been years since the other Drow's traitorous actions, but Elaughfein still kept a burning desire for revenge upon him in his heart. If Lesomph had not pushed his Mistress into the Drider pit then none of the misfortunes that Elaughfein had faced after she was sent away would have occured.
He would not be afraid of his own shadow and the possibility that a female may have found him somewhere. He would not flinch everytime a whip entered his sight or a sound similiar to its cracked entered his ears. His revenge on Lesomph would come someday, whether it would be by Elaughfein's own hands or his Mistress's. Xee's rage towards the traitor was probably even more so than Elaughfein's, but he was not sure to what extent that would be as she had never revealed what had occured in the pit.
"Lesomph has fled the House," he replied tightly, trying to keep his desire to slit the other's throat from his thoughts and to let his voice slip gently out of his mouth as it normally did. His hands were only the second thing he could control to great lengths, the other was his voice, on which he prided himself. He liked to imagine it as smooth as melted butter and with enough of its consistancy to persuade all those he wished to his will.
It was his eloquence that he liked more about himself than his hair or his handsome features. At least back when he had enjoyed those features about himself. He was hoping that the return of his mistress would also be the return of that respect, though so far it seemed to him still that he was no better than some small pet. He brushed his hand at his hair in his musings and continued, now smoothly and with all the confidence he had once kept about himself. His mouth moved effortlessly, "The traitor Lesomph has fled the House and the presence of my Mistress, not to be seen since the incident at which you were returned to us from the Drider pit."

To the contrary of Elaughfeins words, Ilmxena's eyes brightened upon hearing about Micarvyr. "I should have expected as much. He was always very intelligent. I'm sure he's made himself extremely useful while I have been gone. I'll just have to spend a bit of extra time hunting him down."
When it was that he would report to her about Lesomph though...Xee's features would darken. "I suppose I should have expected that as well....well then..I guess my first order of busniess will be to track him down and drag him back where he belongs." Though Xee would not divulge exactly where that was in particular. As she considered just how far the houseless b*****d may have been able to flee, Xee took to winding her whip into a tight coil.
"Well then. I guess our busniess is complete for not Elaughfein. It would please me if you could find out a bit about the family for me. Though that is only secondary to getting the tattoo and my signet ring." With the whip coiled properly, Xee finally shifted herself off the chair she had been sitting on. Standing at her full height...she would unfortunatly reveal the fact she had not grown a single inch since he had last seen her. Still standing at four feet and three inch's tall she unfortunatly was quite small for a female. Hence why she had sat through most of their discussion.
"I'll have the bed brought in somtime during the week, I trust you'll get your own things moved in properly?"

Elaughfein bit back a sigh, he just couldn't seem to get ahead in his current state. Maybe after he had been moved to his Mistress's quarters and had her mark upon him he would feel better about it and be more amiable towards himself. For now all he could do was hope to remain in his Mistress's graces; he would work about how to improve his worth to her later.
Which made the sight of her gripping her whip more tightly cause him to hold back a wince. Oh how he hoped that she wouldn't resort to using the dreaded thing, it was enough that he would have its symbol upon him, he didn't need lashings from it to remind him of his Mistress as well.
When Xee stood Elaughfein bowed, aware of her height and not wanting to touch upon something that might cause her anger before he left. He remained bowed to wait and see if she would exit the room first or send him out for the ring and tatoo before moving to her own things. "Of course, I shall moved them as soon as I have finished my errands for you, my Mistress."

Xee's expression betrayed the fact she was feeling rather pleased. Despite her attempts not to show it. Elaughfein may have left her wanting, but it was good to have a obediant male. Now all she had to do was set into motion her own sorts of plans and figure out..just what was she going to be doing?
Xee made a small gesture for Elaughtfein to stop his bowing. "I need to rest. I've had a real long trip and the day has been a bit...eventful." That was the only thing she could think to describe meeing Shri and the elements that had been reaveled with her. "Why don't you go now, and wake me up when you get back. I'll have thought of some other things I think by then..."

Elaughfein bowed a little deeper before standing up to turn towards the door, "As you command, my Mistress." ( XD I totally almost wrote 'As you wish' instead XD )
He strode out the door, clutching the design in his hand. His finding his mistress had been both good and bad. On the one hand he would soon be marked so that no female would touch him, hopefully, ever again, yet on the other he was finding that his mistress saw him as no better than the dog the other females had seen him as. Or that he saw himself as, he added angrily.
The paper almost crinkled in his hands as he continued down the hall. He would be obedient for now, he would be a dog for now, but as soon as he had her mark and had gotten recognition by the other females of the House that he was Xee's and only Xee's... Then he would heighten her veiw of him. He would show her that he was more than just some dog who followed simple orders to be showed off; she could brand him then if she wanted. He would deserve it to displease his mistress, afterall. But some things needed to be done.
