He watched her look at her hand with a chuckle, and lether lead him along. He paid attention to teh general crowds, and put his helm back on to hopefully disguise the look of complete hatred and disdain for most of the human population here.
"Try to look for a fancy name. like the red dragon or the blazing rose..things like that. those are the upperclass inns and taverns. and try to avoid ones with weapons in the name."

Well that was good to know...because what with her history of finding a place to sleep...well it wouldn't of been pretty had she been allowed the chance to pick the first thing she saw. Not at all. So pretty much a lot of walking ensued...and there were quite the number of inns and then your common tavern/inn combination. Obviously the in business was an easy flourishing one at that. Casually she scanned name boards and the like. Though she did pause at one and have herself a little chuckle. The Silver Feather, how amusing. But that was passed up to avoid the feeling of redundancy. And eventually her eyes caught something else. The Blue Diamond....one had to have some guts throwing a gem into their inn's name. "I say we try this one. After you, I like to make an entrance, and what better way that with you hm?"

Make an enterance? Sure he coudl do that. and he slammed the door open, body rigid and just radiating dark power and silent strength, eyes scanning the interior. not bad looking, and all eyes on him. a grin under that mask that carefully didn't reach his eyes. the one part of his face they could see and were focused on.
Sultha, Lu' l'amith dosstan, jabbress Piper.
This time he did put in that hissing sound, that snakelike coldness to the language that made it seem so at home in place like Neriak, and stood aside, one hand on Malvolence, as if daring someone to say or do anything.

Oh that was good. Make an entrance indeed, he even added in a little Tier'Dal for good measure. But holding back a chuckle and setting on a slightly bored look to mask the laughing she wanted to do, she walked in as if she owned the place, stopping a moment to nod and smile at Malik. "Why than you Malik." Of course then a brisk walk over to the inn keeper, where she leaned on the counter, and studied her nails a moment as she let the man fidget in uneasiness from Malik nearby. "I"d like a room, one that's private and one that's nothing second rate, and I'd like it about...now." It was part request part command. Though when he just as easily turned and pulled a key off the wall, handing it to her, she raised an eyebrow as she took it.
"But of course Miss Silverfeather. Your usual room during the tournament days, my best one, whole top floor is yours. Your faithful Ashlyn dropped by with the money as always." He inclined his head to her in what seemed to be a little show of respect. "Pleasure to have you stay with us again Miss Silverfeather."
Piper blinked. Well this was good news and she thanked her intuition on her choice of inn. "Well...yes. Of course I'd grace you with my presence once more. How can I pass up such accommodations, really." Turning she looked to Malik. "Come on Malik." Thus she headed up the stairs.

Malik remained the deadly and silent shadow, following Piper with an eerie silence for one dressed in platemail. of course after several hundred years walking in it, you could learn to do things like that. hand kept on Malvolence, eye cold, and lifeless, though his was trying not to chuckle at Piper getting the wind put out of her sails, once they got to the top floor, he rested his hand from Malvolence.
"the whole top floor. well looks like we got half an inn."

"Personally I don't know whether to be happy because I didn't have to do anything or a little grudged over the fact that I didn't get to do anything. Oh well, at least I got half the inn like you said, right?" Wasn't the whole thing, but good enough for her. A short walk to the door where she unlocked her room and stepped in, checking the place out. Good choice indeed. Whole room was done in blood red, except for of course the walls ceiling and floor which remained the taverns own. Rather lavishly furnished and decorated as well, mimicking the room that was hers back where they stayed, but of course lacked the nature-ish look to it. In fact it really lacked any elvish inspired grace to it, though she supposed that was the purpose if she was supposed to be playing human. All the wood furnishing was done in deep cherry wood, the grandest piece being the four poster bed against the four wall, done up with red silk bedding as well as veiling and sheet curtaining that ran the outside frame from top to bottom. Well that was nice. A cabinet like at home she supposed was for her armor and junk, dresser, dressing table and the like. Yes the room screamed that a girl used it. "Not too bad..."

"Not at all. love the color. nothing quite says love and vicious power like blood red and cherry wood."
A small laugh, taking off his helm again and walking through the room, looking drawers and the cabinet. yes, set up just like home. and those were some racy outfits in those drawers.
"You gotta see those."
Pointing to the drawers, and settling on teh bed, placing the helm on the nightstand beside it.
"Wonder if the other rooms are for guests of ours or simply more places for you and me?"

Of course whenever he said 'you gott see' she always had to come over and see, it was just how things worked with her. Of course a raised eyebrow at said contents in drawer, tilting her head to the side. "Polar opposites, that's for sure." But she shut the drawers, undoing his raiding damage. Piper shrugged lightly at his question and watched him occupy the bed and set down his helm. "Both maybe? Though we don't seem the type to have too many guests. You just want to do some exploring. One of them is probably your own with your own tastes to it as well. Wouldn't surprise me in the least." She stretched lightly before taking a seat next to him on the bed, sitting cross legged, as she touched a hand to her jaw a moment. Didn't hurt as bad as this morning, and she really hadn't thought on it in a while, but the touch proved to her that she was still healing.

She patted the steel gray lizard. "He's for sale. I dunno how good he is though."
She'd do anything to stay out of the bad people's hands. She didn't liek them at all.
Then there was a commontion that she couldn't see, but seemed to get her kitty friend a little excited. And then anoth kitty showed up all wrapped in a cloak. He was scary too. She clamed up when he came. Was he a bad kitty?
Moonstone put a paw to his forehead, tried to keep from getting too angry. "Are you crazy, Onyx? He's got that sword, and way more experience then the two of us put together. I doubt you could even find yourself on an even playing field with him."

"Oh come on. He's not expectiing one of us. hell the sight of me on the sand will probably make him choke, thinking Father's watching or something. or Mom. I'm not saying I'll walk in there and just coldcock him...it'll say something though to hold my own. Give the man that gave our father a hard time a run for his money."
Then a grin.
"Oh and I need this lizard. he's for sale, and my new friend is going to help me ride. aren't you...?"
Big imporing kitty eyes.
"Apparently she's on the run from someone..bad people. so she'll help me ride, and we can help keep her away from them. sounds like a nice deal."
Malik watched her and patted her thigh lightly.
"A whole floor to ourselves. pity your hurt and can't really make use of it."
A grin. not ot mention all this damn armor of course. but hey, he coudl tease as well as she could.
"My guess is probably most of it is training areas for me. I mean if we're here, in a place neight er of us particularly like, we got one bedroom, and the rest woudl be to keep me in the top notch skill for beating the hell out of people in that big sand pit."

"No, no, a thousand times no. We aren''t stong enough. We aren''t even as stong as Father when Malik had him. Malik wouldn''t even give a Vah the grace of spitting at his feet. And he never cared about Mother. She only stopped fearing him because he fell for someone." He gave a snort. "Run. I don''t think so."
Then a blink, and a glance down to the child he had not noticed. He stamared a moment. "I..a...nice? When have you ever found or done anything nice?"
She couldn''t help it. The black kitty was making her smile. Her large eyes said "You bet" and to tell the truth, she was kinda happy for the first time in a long, long time. A little bad luck dripped out from under her shirt and around the lizards feet. She hoped he didn''t slip on it.

"Quit being so worried. It's a tournamnet, not like he's going to put me in a collar or kill me or anything. worst I'll get is a beating. and I'll give as good as I get. Maybe give Malik some new clawmarks in that blue hide of his. And hey. I found the nice girl, and we're doing her a favor, keeping her away from the bad people.."
Then a sniff, and a notice of something on the ground.
"Wait a minute.."
He knelt down, scrapping his claw through gooey stuff, holding it up to Moon.
"That stuff look familiar to you?

She smirked at him, well more smile than smirk and shook her head. "Pity you have so much armor on. I can stand a little pain, but I just don't have the energy to get in and out of all of the armor between us both. Kind of a mood killer actually, Malik liy " Piper looked thoughtful for a moment before dropping her hand from her jaw. "And I've been hurt far worse...doesn't even really bother me all that much as it did this morning." She stood off the bed and stretched again, rolling her shoulders back. "I guess you could be right about that. But let's see, we have our entries straight, our equipment, our room...or floor rather, and our own elvish pride. I think we're pretty well set for this little event."

"There is never any reasoning with you, you know that? Nothing rational anyway. Which is redundandt, but never mind that. The point is that Malik just isn't good for you." He twitched his nose. "I can understand helping the gir, but you don't need to be in the tournament for it."
Bode didn't really think anything of it. It happened all the time. Underneath her shirt a ring of cold iron was pressed to her conduit. She pulled it's strap a little tighter and thought that was that.
He frowned, didn't even need to smell it to know what it was. "Mother isn't around is she?"

"I think..it came from our new friend. and damn it Moon, buy that lizard. you got all the money. And Malik..I'll worry about Malik. And I'll give him a fight he won't forget."
He wiped his claw on the ground, lookin gat her again, a twitch of his ears.
"If she's like mom...I wonder if the 'bad people' are some kind of kin to Malik..or Malik himself. Elias said Malik tried to bribe mom into join him at his home, maybe Malik's been here a long time."
"And lets not forget that we have another event to plan for as well."
A slight grin, and a lay back on teh bed with a heavy sounding thud from the armor, just looking up at the red cloth.
"How do your kind do those kinds of ceremonies? or do you have them?"
Before thoughts went back to Onyx. a Vah here..and if it was Cymarron's child..that could prove interesting in so many ways.
