"I don't know." Replied the drow, who simply stopped moving. His breath seemed laboured, though he was not tired, and his weapons on his belt seemed to feel rather heavy.

She looked up as best she could, agian trying to see his eyes. She leanred up wards a bit. "Are you alright?" Her voice was soft and smooth and rather low.

"No." A short pause, "Yes." His eyes gazed into the blind orbs, and again, invisible tears marked the rim. "I wish I was Naive, then I would not be so worried."

She had no smile this time. "I would worry aobut being naive."
"So you atr noy all right, and yet you are, but worried about it. Worry keeps me up at ngiht. What are you worrying about, Tarathiel?"

He smiled, a knowing smile. "That I may not get to watch you grow old, and only return here long after you have died."
"Maybe to watch myself become lower than dirt, only to lose that which I became lower for..."
"To not be here, when he comes back for you..."

She could not surpress the shudder that racked across her shoulders. "My heart keeps telling my that I have been saved, that he is not comming back. Mye head has decided to shove it down my hearts throat with cruel logic."
She closed her eyes and pressed her face into the crook of his arm. "I know what he wants."

"I need not know, only that I will stop him." Undead. They usually only had one of two motives, but neither of these are condusive to keeping Meilikki alive and torturing her. Useful as she is, it was awfully easy to get her back.
"His body... My sword swung through it..."
"His minions... Illusions... perhaps..."
"Then again, I need not trouble with you over these things."
"I should collect my armour, then..."

"It's easier to feel the pain in company, than to suffer it alone."
"I know. I remeber. I saw every step you took that day...as you were taking it..."
She pushed off of him a moment then. "Yes, I suppose you should. Thank you for the lovely dance."

"... We should retreat to somewhere more defendable, yes, defendable... Like your room, where we can arrange the beds into a defensive structure and then be together until doom comes. Unless of course, you can think of something better to do in a bed room."

"I can, but it might kill you. And then we'd both be dead while the doom found us."
She bent, picked up the dragon scale armor, light enough for even her to pcik it up, and handed it to Tarathiel. "The bedroom then." She was very glad the two young girls were now out of the house, and hoped that Warren would be safe upstairs.

Malik stopped. dead stopped, and cocked his head to the side. his fist clenched lightly, and he shook his head some as if to clear it.
"not on your life. You're mine, and your going to remain mine."
Then heading back out to see Nightmare, and the foals. odd coloring. he'd never seen a Nightmare outside the Plane of Hate..or the Plane of Nightmares, for that matter..adn they had all been solid black. but then they'd never had Zephyr's to breed with.
"They have interesting color. you said in Andal the mixed breed is common..are there color patterns common as well?"
Nightmare gave malik a customary nicker, and tended back to her foals. unlike Serino, nightmares had to eat, adn she was feeding them in a manner she knew how. the plane of shadow, the orignal birth home to the Nightmare's Malik knew, had it's own beings. and she had suriming chuckes fo black...stuff...looked kind of like jello, to feed her foals as well.

She let her own head fall to the side with a cofused and a possibly worried blink. Well that was a strange thing for him to do...and her poor little mind could come up with several things that what he just did to refer to. But like him she shook her head to push it from her mind and took to idly following him to the stables. After all, they were her Zephmares. Well seemed Nightmare was all too comfortable with this, good. But she stepped ahead of Malik, crouching down to foal level and holding out her hand again. "Yes actually, there are five distinct color markings or traits to Zephmares."
Hey look! It was the woman with the one pointy ear and the funny colored hair agian! They each gave a little nicker and after a look to mom and dad for allowance they approached in that cautious way, both snnuffling at her hand. Come on now, we know you have something, those cube things. What did dad call it again, oh right, sugar. Give it up. A little headbutt from on in persistance.
A look to Nightmare before she opened her hand to them, giving them what they wanted. The mare was probably over feeding them a little but they were young and Piper would just let it slid for a month or two. And while they took to sugar, she used them for show and tell to Malik. "These guys are two different types." She pointed to the one with the black on it's upper half and the fire tipped mane an dtail. "That one is called an Armor breed because that black on it is an unchangable color and it looks like war horse armor. They have an equal power balance from both breeds." Then a flick of her wrist at the other who started slightly and fire clapped from it's hooves and took to tenril like tendencies before dying, and its color shifted to clear a moment before back to what it had been...to young to control everything. "That's a Tempest Flame. Nightmare dominate and thier fire takes on a sort of wind like property. They can change thier color unless it's black from a Nightmare."

Nightmare watched her foals, and paid little attention to malik except to puff up a bit in a 'look how wonderful I am' motion, and back to eating and watching. after all she never had sugar cubes. Malik usually treated her with honey covered meat. that was yummy.
Malik nodded, leanign over the stall and looking at the two foals, nothignt he coloring and her explainations about them.
"I see why the armor coloring was called such, but what did you mean by equal distribution of power? you'll have to forgive my ingnorance, as I had never seen a zephyr until I met you, much less the crossbreed varieties."

"It isn't ignorance Malik. Well Zephyrs are of the wind, and Nightmares are of shadow and flame. Armors as well as Melts have an equal manipulation over elemts found in both breeds, where at Ebony Gales, Tempest Flames, and Taints have thier innate abilities leaning toward either breed." Brushing her hands off she stood and turned to Serino, diggnig in her pocket and pulling out a few more sugar cubes. One was thrown at the Zephyr who caught it out of the air. Then a look to Nightmare. "You want one too, while I'm passing things out?" And her attention fluttered back to Malik. " So...which do you want?" Yes she remembered thier deal and she always kept her deals.

Nightmare ventured over, and sniffed at the cube, and took it form Piper..suckled on it a bit, and then gave malik a rather mean look. and why the hell didn'y you give me these before, hmm? these are good and alot less messy! then a bit of a snort at them both. what do you mean which one does he want? who said I'm giving you premission to mess with either of them? a stomp or her foot to emphasize the point.
Malik chuckled lightly, and ignored Nightmare.
"The armor one I think will be easier for me to keep track of, so I'll take that one. Unless you'd prefer that one over the other. makes little difference to me really. I'm quite content at the moment that she had her foals without any complications on her first birth."
