"Even if you did manage that Malik love, you wouldn't be getting any at this point in time. One, that's way too much armor to get off and on, and two, I'm in a considerable amount of pain." She gave him a smirk as best she could before just continuing on. Eventually they hit the coast where all those weird crops were growing, the few working the fields looking up at them with the same regard at the others. And a little ways out into the water? A raft...she supposed that would be the acclaimed water transport. "Looks like that's our ticket, come on." A little gust of wind from Serino and he took to forward motion, hooves stepped on some invisible ground just above the water's surface, heading out to the raft. Good thing Serino didn't weight anything. On said raft were two paddlers, a young boy and an old man...that was a ironic combination.

Malik chuckled lightly and followed after her. Nightmare had some weight, but she could be like a shadow, and not sink too much, and support malik through the fire form her hooves, and she followed after Serino, who being weightless was faster over the water. a young man and an older man. probably becuase the old one had the experience and they new one had the muscle. once both horses were onboard, nevermind the looks.
"Deepwater, now."
And Malik fully expected to be obeyed, dismounting off Nightmare and setting the lance on the raft bottom.

Piper dismounted Serino as well who nudged her in the shoulder with his nose and then rubbed his head against her, shifting his Reins. Obviously, he wanted out of them. She merely turned to him and gave him a few soothing pats as a bit of wind kicked up from the horse at her. "Not yet. You need to keep them on for a bit longer...at least you don't have a bit to deal will." A little upbeat thought for him. Oh that was so terrible for her to hear herself say. And in due show of being upset, he more or less plopped down on the raft, settling himself. She just looked at him and sighed, turning to face Malik as the raft started its own slow movement...good lord. "So, love, where would you like to start in this language session?" Just to give him a pick should he want it, or if he wanted to go first for that matter.

The Nightmare lowered herself as well, and Malik watched the raft move. indeed this was going to be a long trip. But at Piper's question, he took off his helm and pushed the chainmail hood back, letting his hair fall loose and placing the helm by nightmare.
"Anything you want to teach me. terms of endearment or affection..lust..anger..curses, whatever you are up to letting me know."
A slight grin.
"Perhaps those phrases you are wont to scream at certain times?"
That got a chuckle. and he sat side saddle on Nightmare, who was obviously used to this sort of thing from Malik and didn't put up a fuss.

"Those are my phrases, than you very much. Maybe you'll eventually figure them out on your own." She pretty much followed Serino's lead, sitting down on the raft, leaning back against the Zephyr. He of course went about nibbling at her clothes, hair and bandana because he could and he usually did when he got the chances to. "Let's start with something you'll like...insults perhaps. Always nice to know a good insult. I know a good one to insult someone and their mother as well." She gave a slight laugh, thinking on it herself. Piper remembered saying it so much growing up. "Growing up, I was the target of taunts because I grew up with the Fier'dal, or rather the Taur'Quessir in my tongue, but I wasn't full blooded. I could be minding my own business and the other kids would basically call me out, saying 'Eithael manka ta naa n' Simpetar Donquesse, i' Taur'Quessir Ithil'Quessir palp.' To which I would simply respond 'Llie n'vanima ar' lle atara lanneina'." And she paused a moment letting him process all of that. "Which of course translated to common tongue, they said 'Well if it is not Piper Silverfeather, the wood elf, moon elf mix.' and I said back 'You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny.' Needless to say that that would then start a fist fight between us all, but it was worth it. " Ah nostalgia.

Malik grinned lightly, listening to her, and shook his head some. Insults eh? but he did pay attention. your ugly and your mother dresses you funny. a chuckle at her insult, and then a bit of a rubbing of his chin.
"Insults. well..while I do love th classics, Tier'Dal aren't much for those kinds of insults. ours are more like L' eairthin zhah ichl bwael whol dosst vlos which means the ground is too good for your blood. basically your so worthless that the act of killing you is showing more worth than you deserve."
A small grin.
"Tier'Dal are known for violence, like I've told you. even our insults are violent.

"Yes, You've mentioned things like that before. I suppose you're more used to phrases like, 'I'narr en gothrim glinuva nuin I'anor', or rather the bones of our foes will gleam under the sun...exclude sun for obvious reasons. Of course that being used in casual conversation." For a moment she idly picked at he wood of the raft. "I didn't grow up with that much violence around me apart from the childhood fighting which of course I grew out of. It's hard to match to your level of malice with just language...mine's all nothing but flowery words of good intent and turns of phrases really." True, not much violence around her until she had struck out on her own. And for a moment she truly thought about the differences between herself and Malik. Boy would her mother kill her. "Yeah you win in that department."

"Well then instead of violent insults..there was a phrase you used last night, something that sounded like an endearment in the spa. I wouldn't mind knowing what you said. Oh and if you want something new..how about a curse or two. those are always fun."
Malik smiled a bit, though shot a hard look when the younger rower was giving one of those faces like he was trying not to laugh, which shut him up in an instant. afterall, really how hard is it to row? not like they couldn't be killed and thorw into teh water and thier passengers work the rest themselves..and another collum of flame towered up.
"And we need to find out where those come from."

"Like all of my language, my curses are no where near as bad as yours, or as bad a common speak even. Things like, ''Aa? llie dalea enkanu llie nae i'' morinuin'', ''which is may your feet lead you to the Underdark'', or in common, ''go to hell''." A thought back to last night, restraing the urge to go into replay mode in her mind she sifted through all that she had said. "Ed i'' ravan ent teu. Was that the one you''re talking about? That''s my own little saying I''ve used for a long time. It means, ''by the forest and moon'', I''m sure you can see where that comes from." A smile to him and a random blink from tripled colored eyes before she looked over at the flame pillar as well. "Well...we''re both here so we aren''t doing it. Maybe that third party isn''t so mythical after all."

"Perhaps not. I recall saying something myself last night in my tongue. perhaps you'd wish to know what I ment. It was Areion chath lu' barra usstan orn'la doer whol dos, 'chev, lu' gaer zhah nau jiv'undus usstan orn'la naut elendar tlu xuil dos which in the common tongue is 'Through fire and shadow I would come for you, beloved, and there is no pain I would not endure for you.' "
He gave a small grin to her.
"Even I can be flowery when I choose to be."

Piper smiled, tilting her head again in that way she always just did when she took a liking to somethng. "And you called me that his morning, 'chev. That's beloved, right?" Easy enought to pick up one it was heard more than just the once and she had cognitive though. "Well I also said, Amin liyalai Malik, llie sint n' i' luth llie cael vanwa amin." ...which will give you an ego boost because I said, 'My beloved MAlik, you know not the power you have over me.', seems we favor the same endearment." For a moment she waved off Serino with a hand and glanced out over the misty water. "Don't think that makes you king of the castle though..." Then a giggle from her. "Lle naa haran e' nausalle. You are king in your imagination."

He chuckled lightly, though he pickedup on her form of beloved, or at least he thought.
"And liyalai Is beloved in your tongue. I also said last night, Ussta ssinjin 'anon, ussta mzilst yuluwyl iiyola a phrase my father used for my mother, which means in the common tongue 'My sweet flower, my most prized treasure' And as for king of the castle, Dos xal inbal l' sharorr, drill Usstan inbal l' yorn. You have the throne, but I have the power."

"Touche'."She smiled, eyes wandering to him again. "And to think it all sounded so good last night even without the meaning behind the words being known. Sounds all the better now. Yeah...I think I'm going to fall in love all over again. Malik, mela en' coiamin, aa' lye na alye nesh il' arrom ent arnun ten'oio ner." Piper paused and just watched him a moment, a hand idly playing with a few strands of red in her hair before she passed the translation. "Malik, love of my life, may we be together for every sunrise and sunset forever more." A soft melodic laugh from her then to follow up. This was quite a nice little moment.

He listened to her words, and gave a gentle, small smile. the kind of smile of someone who had been considering somethign for a long time and just then found the answer and time that they wanted. he looked around, foudn what he was looking for, and moved over to Piper, looking down at her with a gentle gaze, a silver tint to grey eyes.
"'chev, dos ssrig'luinen beldro ussta tresk'ri, dosst ssinssrine belbau ol dro. dos daewl tlu xuil uns'aa whol jal dosst tangin lu' iston, lu' ji dos zhal."
He got down in front of her, on one knee, and took her hand in both of his,cupping the hand below hers.
"Udos inbal natha ssinssrigg nindel xunen udossta dro, ji Usstan joros ka dosst tlu usst, ussta 'ranndi."
A small grin to her, and keeping her hand in both his, gave her the translation.
"Beloved, you needs create my world, your desires give it life. you wish to be with me for all your days and nights, and so you shall. We have a love that completes our life, so I ask if your be mine, my wife."
And he took his hand from on top of hers away, and when she ilfted her hand, it revealed a ring in his other. a vine design to teh band, the vine edges curling around a bloodred ruby, the metal of course, gold to complement the stone.

She had just kept watching him until he spoke again , drawing her attentiont to words she couldn't understand, but no doubt loved to listen to from him and if he was going to be fair he'd offer up a translation anyway. But a blink at him as he moved over to her, kneeling down and taking her hand in both of his. More words to follow to drag her attention back to him. Another blink at him again as he did indeed translate all that over for her, her lips slightly parted as it sunk in what he was saying and she wantd to say something but just couldn't. When he moved his hand and she hers, she about lost her composure, breath getting hitched in her throat. A look from the ring, back up to his eyes, back to the ring again. "Malik..." Words lost and not coming. And she had to run the moment through her mind once more to make sure she hadn't lost it. Then it all sank in and settled nicely. Next course of action? Jump him of course, which she pretty much did, wrapping her arms around his neck tightly, just holding on to him for a moment. "Amin liy Amin khiluva lle a' gurtha ar' thar. Amin onsint naa avavaen." Of course a hand came up to trace along his ear before her lips brushed lightly as well in a whispered translation. "My love, I will follow you to death and beyond. My answer is yes."
