Malik groaned lightly.
"female. oh joy. Drow women are nothing but...well don't get me started. and she may not have heard of him, or she may have told you that to keep you off balance, just like her being off...and what do you mean by that, anyhow...or your not being touched. build trust, let you lead her here, adn then eat it from teh inside out."
He did give her a small kiss, and got himself up, parading aroudn naked while he looked for clothing.
"SO do you know what her proffession was?"

A little blink at his kiss...well she wasn't expecting that. She sighed...though of course she watching him a moment with that particular spark of gold in her eyes as he wnet for his clothes. Speaking of clothes...she needed to change hers...spent all night in them after all. "This wasn't lying off, it was off off. Like me being afraid of other elves off and living down here off. And by off...I mean like even though she had her dagger to my throat she didn't seem too enthused to use it, not to mention I could get a good bluff or two and she was polite. Even lying Drow aren't polite...especially women." She crossed her arms and stood off the bed, watching him. "You think I'd give my trust so easily after Ka...you know. Really...I did think about this. And no...all I really know was that they were going to sacrifice her and she wasn't too keen on it."

"Lloth. she's from a Llothian city. and if she is, she was in trainign to be a prietess, most likely. which means that to b esacrificed, she either did something agasint the teachings and got caught, or she was potential a powerful priestess and someone thought to eliminate her before she earned any real power. which also means I'm going to have to deal with that matriarchal annoyance that is a drow woman, period."
He got on pants, and a shirt, and opened up the dresser, and pulled out Ebony, Malvolence's twin in form, though not function. and solid black, from pommel to bladetip and strapped that to his side. be damned if he was going to go to a drow woman unarmed.

She sighed again. "Knew I shouldn't of told you and handled it myself..." Said in that particular 'I know I'm loosing, I'm just going to be stubborn now' voice. "You can't at least let me try first as opposed to taking it from my hands already?" There was the stubborn part. "You know what in fact I'm not letting you. You're grounded and I'll be damned if you get away with squirming your way back into any form of work at the moment Malik D'vinn." Hey Piper had her reasons now...a few questions of her own for Zahara...after all, D'vinn was clearly a Underdark name and she had used it as her own, yet hadn't even been looked at funny for it. By standard Drow thinking, no Drow would give their name to a pathetic surface elf such as Piper.

Malik stopped, and turned around raising an eyebrow. she was going to try and handle a drow woman on her own and forbid him from it? but hse had her point. he wa, technically, grounded from anything stressful. not that he coudln't make the arguement that the worry and such woudl be more stressful..but instead he just sighed and unstrapped ebony from his side, and handed it over to her.
"Wear it. give her the impression you are skilled with more than just the weapons she saw on you when you met. give her less reason to attempt something if she comes across you not armed with your bow."
Okay, right now he was really not liking being grounded from all forms of work.

She blinked at him, looking at the sword a moment before taking it...of course a bit reluctantly...but she took it all the same. Okay...wait...did she just win there? No really...she just won? A moment more spent in thinking on that before she broke into a smile. "Thank you." Hey it felt good to win, no wonder Malik liked it so much when he won. "Really...just let me handle this...you know I'd come to you if I couldn't. Besides...I've already put a good foot forward using your name instead of my own." Yeah she had finally learned that lesson hadn't she? "Besides..." Moving over to the desk she opened the top drawer and pulled out a book, walking back over to Malik and handing it to him. "You can read this in your spare time." He wanted to know what words were her Gods? Well a little reading would do that there. Whole thing was written in common. And of course he got a lingering kiss from her for being compliant. "I'm being careful this time...just like you taught me."

He looked at the book, a little non plussed..but hey, somethign to do. then a small grin at her being careful, adn using his name, just like he taught her, and that lingering kiss promised some futher enjoyment later perhaps. So he gave her a hug, and another kiss.
"I know you'll come get me, or send something or someone to. just take care of yourself. and I mean it. she tries something, let the slaves defend you even if it's just lambs to a slaughter. you before them, alright?"

"Yes A'mael, me before them. Besides if all pans out well...doesn't hurt to have another ally on our side." A nod at that then a little laugh. "Besides, Piper D'vinn has already made her own impression upon the other. I have to be given some credit for being a surface elf in the Underdark and riding a nightmare after all." Yes, she was proud of herself for it all. "But look how good this no work thing is being...you're already all nice and mellow." She liked it when he was all mellow...after all she tended to like to spoil him just as much as he did her. "And...if your mood proves well through the day...well I think I'll have a surprise for you later tonight." In the form of a ring and a few other things perhaps that catered to his tastes.

"A surprise? oh really. sound quite interesting...I'll be a good boy. Though, I make no pormises if and when this drow woman sees me. you know the Llothian dogma about males. and you also know I'm not going to cow to her in my own home."
A small grin, nd he sat down on teh bed, looking at the book, and shrugged, flipping it open and starting to look through it just becuase at the moment he didn't have much else to do.

She watched him...oh she knew he would tease her about it all later. After all...he'd know what words were in fact Gods and what those Gods represented. At least he'd be amused. "Yes I know...all breeding material, and war fodder. Don't worry A'mael, I won't let her manhandle you...if any of that is going to be going on, I'm the one who's going to be doing it. And of course I don't expect you to do anything in your own home...after all, you're not Drow you're Tier'Dal." A moment of quiet before she walked over to him, brushing her hand through his hair and over his ears. "You can also occupy your day by spoiling me or better yet, spending time with Nightmare. Poor thing is attention starved, particularly for your attention."

He looked up at her brushing his ears, and smiled lightly, before getting a bit of a concerned look.
"Is that so. I thought it would have been best not to mess with her during a pregancy. however if she needs attention, then she'll get it. Wouldn't want her leaving back to Hate, now would I. not to mention an unhappy Nightmare makes an unhappy Serino, which makes an unhappy Piper."
then a tilt of his head, kissing her palm lightly.
"And I'll be sure to spoil you, Piper."

Warren looked over his shoulder as the door opened, and a small vial of silvery liquid was thrown into the room. It bounced once on the floor, then rolled to a stop, comming up against warren's thigh. A shaking hand reached out and picked it up.
This was the only food they were served. But...today there was only one vile. The bottle was uncorked and almost to Warren's lips when he suddenly pulled back. Thinking a moment, he let a bit of the potion touch his tongue, hopefully enough to keep him going for a little while longer, and handed the rest of the thing to Bode. "Here. You take it."
"But Mr. warren, aren't you hungry too?"
His stomach growled painfull. "No Bode. I am not hungry this day." At least, he assumed they fed them once a day....it could easily be several days running before they were tossed another vial.
Bode guzzled down the few mouthfuls that were in the vial, and while it had no taste, at least it seemed to fill her belly. or she could think that it did.
Some time later, as Warren lay on the cold stone, trying to use the warmth o his body to keep the chill of the little girl, he felt her stir in his arms. Eyes that had little strength peeled open, and tried to discern what was happening.
Then his amrs were empty, and he heard shuffling around as Bode crawled across the floor. She could no longer walk, the black ooze from her voide spilled arounder her feet, covering them in a slippery oil-like film.
She shook at his shoulders, which hurt, but Warren didn't say anything. Nor did he moive. He was just....so....tired....
He felt sometihng pressed against his mouth, and realized that Bode, the sweet little thing, was trying to feed him. the bottle was already half empty. SHe had first talen care of herself.
"Warren! Mr. Warren! Please eat!"
No more strength to talk...all right Bode. I'll eat it. He opened his mouth and allowed the girl to spill the vial down his throat. Almost imidiatly, he felt a little bit of life fill his body. Enough to keep him alive, not enough to give him strength.
"Warren! Mr. Warren!"
He groanded. "What is it Bode?" Hopeless...
"Mr. Warren! They left the door open!"

Zahara didn't waste any time. She reached beneath her pillow for her dagger and covered her more vulnerable areas. Shooting straight up, awake and fully alert she brandished her dagger and was prepared to rip whatever the danger was to her to pieces. Something was on her head. She reached up and pulled off...an imp. Horrors of Lloth an imp. She held the creature by the collar of his shirt adn then tossed it off of her. And then there was another one, sitting on her bed watching her curiously. Zahara's breeding dictated that she keep her daggers out until she knew for sure there was no threat. She raised an eyebrow and said, "There's no fire here, now leave."

Jell squealed with glea as he was tossed across the room. "Oh man, you have to try that!"
"Wow! She's smart too!"
Scampering across the floor and back up onto the bed, Jell squated next to his brother. "Oh? How's that?"
"You shouted fire, and she figured out taht there was no fire!"
"Did I really? That's brilliant!"
The two turned eyes on the new girl. "So, Mrs. Looks Like The Mean Guy, what's you're name?"
"Yeha yeah! Are you like," he lowered his voice and spoke boomingly "Queen Trantuala, goddess of furry spiders?"
"Or Aphroditie, the Goddess of Temptation?"
"How about Yura, the Sexy Hair Demon?"
"Oo, oo! I got one!" Both Jaun and Jell lept to their feet, flexing their muscles in various hat bod postitions, and speaking at the same time, "Great and Powerful God!"

Zahara stared at them for a logn moment and her eyebrows spiked all the way up into her hairline. These two posed no threat. She shoved back the blankets and picked up her daggers strapping them into place on her thighs. Running a hand through her hair, she smoothed her skirt down where it had climbed around her knees and pulled on her boots. Standing with her back straight, one hand on her hips, and an eyebrow raised she regarded the two monkeys. "Who do you think I am?" Her hand went to the pendant of the Spider Queen around her neck and she simply watched the two, waiting for their answer. What had she gotten herself into?
