"Did you ever stop to think that maybe when you point fingers there are quite a few pointing back at you? After all everything is everyone else's fault, nothing evil comes out of you." She rolled her eyes and wanted to look at Piper and say 'see, I'm trying to be nice and he's instigating things.' "I don't belong under your boot anymore than anyone else here does. You just think you're so high and mighty Malik but one day somebody is going to bring you down. There's always somebody out there bigger and stronger, or with more magical abilities than you. You'd do well to remember that."

"I never said nothign evil ever comes from me. nor did I say I am not without villiany or deciet or murderous design. But I am also not the oen who is actively trying to do things to piss the other off. you encourge those imps to destory my home, adn actively help in it. you act like being a priestess should somehow make you better then me, when I own this land, this fortress, adn everything in it with few exceptions."
He crossed his arms lightly.
"As far as I'm concerned, your little more than a slave in standing. you're not on Piper's level, your not even in her league. You owe me and piper for the fact that you are able to taste the sweet air that's filling your lugns right now."
He was silent a moment.
"I know that there's always someone stronger, someone more powerful, someone more deadly. It's just not you. and they won't bring me down because I don't toy with or torment things that are that much more powerful than myself without a damn good reason besides my own personal amusement."

Piper about at this point...wanted to bang her head on the table. Repeatedly...until she lost conciousness...yeah, that would be nice. But she was just standing there, arms crossed and letting them fight. Even if she said anything, they would only find something else to fight about. She didn't put it past them to use her as the ammunition against each other...they had already thrown her name into the argument several times. Though she did have to think that Zahara was actively insulting her as well...after all...she slept with Malik which the drow was conotating as a rather bad thing. Oh by elvish gods...impossible. With a light sigh she leaned back against the table on her hip.

"Now really, you cna't honestly bring up the plate incident because I just didn't know. And I didn't tell them to eat your boots, they came up with that one on their own. Those imps don't need any encouragement in destruction, they do just fine by themselves." She was quiet for a mometn and then she said, "I don't owe you anything. I owe Piper an awful lot. And I treat Piper with respect and what I perceive to be some sort of affection. You, I don't like. You don't like me. That's fine. But just because you don't like me doesn't mean you can treat me the way you do." She shook her head, "Face it Malik, the only reason you don't like me is because I'm Lolthian and you have an idea of who I am. I admit I was rude to you that first day. And I'm sorry for it, but you have to realize that it is going to take me a while to completely reorganize my thoughts and the way I look at things. I was raised in Llothian society. That's not my fault and I think you should quit massacring me over my heritage."

"Then stop expecting me to show you some kind of respect because your a priestess of Lloth. You want respect you can earn it like anyone else. And encouraging those two to destory things becuase you woudl find it amusing to get me upset is not a way to do that. Make yourself useful. use those divine gifts to help injured gladiators, or to heal those being broken so they don't die beforehand. Ask your precious Lloth for help defending this place from Dimitri and his potential minions and toys. Just do something besides trying to irritate me becuase you think it's funny."
A glance at the imps.
"Or keep them occupied without having them destroy things of mine. And I don't like you because you Llothian, your arrogant, and for some reason you seem to think that I should give you the same respect I give piper because your a drow woman. I despise the Lloth culture's matriarchal garbage, and the only other beings in existance that might get that kind of respect from me are her parents and Nightmare."

It was almost irritating that they talked a little like she wasn't even there...but there was her name again, getting used as both defense and offense between the two drow. Hm...maybe she did have some sort of drow complex. Well...at least they weren't hitting at each other or anything like that. And it could be a lot worse. Yeah she resolved to keep her mouth shut and let them get thier current issues with each other off thier chests. Hoped Kieran and Fianna weren't hearing this....though they could of heard them at a worse moment..either way...she contented herself by playing with her ring until they were done. No, she wasn't going to get upset about it this time.

"I have never once demanded you respect me because I'm a Llothian priestess. Never once. I demanded taht you respect me because I am a woman and I deserve respect. Of course at that time I was still steeped in the Llothian attitude of a matriarchal society. But since then I have not demanded you to respect or demanded anything of you. I ask that you treat me like a guest because I am one. I understand that and I owe quite a bit to Piper. And she has asked me to respect you. You have not earned my respect Malik, the only reason you have any prayer of getting it is because I respect Piper and she has requested it. She loves you and while I may not understand why I do understand the depth of feeling she has for you. Personally I think you should get down on your hands and knees and thank whatever god allowed you to meet her because as far as I'm concerned that's the only thing you've got going for you.I may not be on Piper's level but neither, Malik, are you. You are a prejudiced a** and everyone here knows it."She looked at Piper and smiled, "You hve shown me nothing but kindness and I am very grateful for it Piper, even if I don't always seem taht way." A cold glare at Malik and she turned and walked out of the room.

The two followed their precious Star Flower, although they looked a tad concerned. "Did we get you in trouble, Star Flower?"
"We didn't mean for the mean guy to say mean things about you like that..."
"We like thinking about you intimatly."
"Yeah, you're really pretty."
"And we respect you!"
"No more kisses, we promis."

She stopped and marveled at how different her life was. Then seh turned and shook her head, "No Malik is being his usual tight a** self. And his usual disrespecting and prejudiced self as well. I'm used to it by now so it doesn't bother me as much as it may have at one point. Though I don't think I'll be kissing any of you anytime soon."

"In all fairness,"
"While me might not like Malik,"
"He's got a right to be a tight a**,"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be so fun to pester."
They blushed a bit, looking a little dissapointed at that, but they didn't say anything.
"We should go cheer you up, Star Flower."
"Yeah, lets go have some fun!"

Malik let her and the imps go, and turned to Piper.
"Do I really come off that badly to others? I mean I should have garnered some respect just for being teh lord here, or master, or whatever. but I come off that badly to people?"
If that was the case he might have to work in his pr a bit. after all couldn't have potential allies or clients not want to buy or offer thier services becuase they percieved him as an arrogant, selfrighteous a** with a god complex.

Oh for the love of...he had to ask that of her didn't he? Couldn't he go with the fact that she was biased to how he was perceived? Of course not though... For a moment she got that thinking look, tapping the tips of her index fingers together. "Well...you do have a certain harshness. I mean...in all honsety...I'm the only one you even show the most remote instant kindness to. If you recall even our visit to Ton and Eca...you were a little...frank with them." Was this sounding really bad? Last thing she needed was him in a bad mood and feeling guilty for putting him in it. "You like to show yourself as capable, strong, in charge...and you just go about it in not the best ways I guess you could say." Piper looked a little sheepish as she laid it all out for him...he said no secrets, right? "Like...trying to think everyone below you in a sense, trying to put them under your boot and make them respect you...not earn thier respect but force it. I was there once too, remember?" Indeed he wanted her under his boot once, but she faced him and indeed had respected him despite it all. "It's just...how you are."

Zahara smiled sadly at the imps and reached down chucking them both affectionately under the chin. She slipped down, balancing on her toes and said, "Thanks you two...but I think I need to go reverie, nap for a little while. She kissed them both on the tops of their heads, stood back up and slowly sauntered her way upstairs to her room. It didn't take long before she'd kicked off her boots and flopped on her borrowed bed, then lost herself in reverie. She could only pray that it was a good one.

They watched her go, looking a little downtrodden. "Awe, she's all sad. She didn't want to have fun with us."
"I suppose we aren't that fun anymore."
He yawned a bit. Imps rarely got tired. But today had been a long day. "Where we gonna sleep? We don't really have a room here...." Well, they both new the answer to that. Poofing into Zahara's room, the cureld up one to either side of her, and went to sleep.

"I see. hmm. I'll have to work on that. can't afford to alienate potential buyers...or allies by coming off that badly to them. But I still don't like not gettign respect simply for what I have here. I shoudl be respected for what I have obviously accomplished, rather than it looked on as nothign specail and ignored."
He walked over and gave Piper a soft, loving kiss, and held her for a moment. to was nice just holding her sometimes.
"Well..at elast your mother hasn't decided to leave screaming or cower in a corner at me. and seemed rather pleasent during our talk."
