He smiled back. "I would hardly call him property. Last I checked he was free as a the bird whose wings he bares." A slight tilt of his head at her, still looking quite casual serious all the same time. Then a look back to Raziel. "Seems he doesn't want to be your property any longer..."

Daz tried to go after Skunk, but the other two hit him, and he had to fight them off. which he could do no problem. But they kept him from returning to the pups. They kept attaking him. He raked his clawes against the bellof one and the snout of the other. he had no idea who because all was so fast. Besides he didn't care who it was, it was the jackles and they were afte rthe pups. He bit down hard on a leg and tried to get away as he saw skunk run down one of the pups.
Eliot eased warren back up the staires and to his bed. "Bode is fine Warren, she's alive. She's fine." Eliot repeated. KNowing that the last thing he did, was sacrifice himself for her. "She's with her father. You saved her Warren." She managedto get him to sit on the bed. "We're at the Oracle's house. The Dragon helped me to bring you here so you could heal. Warren sit down alread." She gently pushed him back down.

Zahara rolled her eyes at looks thrown her way. What she'd never seen a drow speak a funny lanuage. She was in the damn Underdark...you think she'd know drow when she heard it. Zahara looked to the others in the room...so she wanted the feathered thing did she? She didn't see what the big deal was...

Worm yelped as his belly was racked and his leg bitten, bit neither hurt him very badn and he tackled Daz in the stomach, bring the wolf to the ground and biting at his neck. Weasil's face hurt pretty bad, but he wasn't about to let a few scratches bother him. Long claws dug into Daz's hind quarters, and the two attempted to bring the wolf man down.
Skunk easilt chased dwon of the pups, who tried to dodge in and out of trees. but she was the faster one by far. He legs, though shrot compared to a human, were just perfect for doubling over and tearing after pray. Poor fellow, tasty fellow, never had a chance. She laugh as her claws found his flesh, then as her teeth found his neck, then as his little neck snapped. Blood poored over her jaws, down her chest.
Warren didn't really like being man-handled like this, but in his weakened state he couldn't really protest. "I did? I don't remeber." He didn't remeber much of anythign actually. "The Oracle? We're in the catacombs?"
"When you make something, it belongs to you." She smiled thoguh, acting indiferent to the feelings of her creation. "But no matter. He has no choice." She reached into her robes and pulled out a sheafe of papers, all very legal looking. "Here are his license and registration papers. he does indeed, belong to me."
She looked over at Zahara again and smiled.

Malik kept the look of indifference on his face for now. let Kieran handle things for the moment. though he raised a brow at teh looks between this mage and Zahara. like the mage knew something she wasn't letting on about, that had something to do with Zahara. So lets try a simple question.
"Magi..what interest do you have in that Drow there? you keep looking to her as if she is supposed to recognize you or the like."

What, he was a pet now with papers and everything? Kieran could beg to differ. He simply nodded at the paper, acknowledging them but not looking at them. "Oh I think he has a choice. After all...what is paper to the matter? Something that can so easily be...destroyed, lost, damaged. I'm sure without those you wouldn't have much to offer in the way of proof. Not to mention...things are easily faked." Kieran was a business man too...he knew not to take things at face value. "But like I said...I don't think he wants to belong to you anymore...and you're right he has no choice. He's my familiar, it's my choice." Yes, now Kieran was layign claim to Raziel as his...it helped the matter on Raziel's side.
Fianna merely kept her hold on Raziel, trying to comfort the little creature as best she could while still listening to the conversation. Unlike everyone else in the room, maybe save Piper, Fianna could tell when Kieran had double intentions going on in his head that he wasn't makeing obvious. This Raziel thing seemed to be really getting at the elf.
Hm, dad was getting down to business was he? Well this was quite the situation forming now wasn't it? A look though over to Malik and then Zahara...they were all speaking drow...and she was only picking up half of what they were saying...

Zahara was beginning to feel like she was in the spotlight for no damn reason. Malik looked at her, then the woman looked at her. Then again. She wanted to scream at them. It was like a bad tennis match and nobody was saying a damn thing. It was all very frustrating. She raised an eyebrow at Malik and said, "Just what are you implying Malik?"

"Indeed, they mean little to you. But who are we both to ingore the simple rules of law, hmm?" She smiled though. "True, they can get destroyed and faked. But I do not carry the origional copies of these papers." She shrugged. "How would anyone kow to fake them? The fairy is certainly not well known." And nodded. "Yes, he does. Why do you think he hides? Why he does not want to see my face or here my voice? e as a familiar in all aspects. Loyal to his master. His true master."
She smiled again, her eyes half closed in a very knowing. She spoke to Malik, but looked at Zahara. "I look at her because she is attractive."
Raziel was rocking back and forth in Fianna's hands, humming to himself, closing his eyes, his hands pressed tight over his ears. This wasn't happening, he was dreaming, just a nightmare, he'd wake up soon....

Daz Howled. "Ben! Oh Spirits Ben!" Tears came to his eyes and he prayed the rest had gotten away. He became more enraged and easily broke away from the two jackles, and tore after Skunk. Ben, he though, Ben had been so coragouse, had tried to save his sister, had deficated on one of the slave masters. Ben had wanted to be a pupsitter when he grew up.
He swiped Skunk across her eyes before the other to jackles tackled him again. He kicked up with his legs. He howled again encouraging the pups to keep running. He would find them, and fight for them.
Eliot sighed a little. "Don't give me that look Warren i have been caring for you for weeks now you could show me some respect." Instead of forcing it down his throat though she hadned warren a smalll glass of water. "finally no more bed pans," She said to herself, then louder. "No we rae not in the catacombs we are in the keep. The oracle lives here and ocasionaly Tarathiel and his crew bunk here until they sail out agian." She stepped back a little to give him some room. "After you let your life fire out, Rydia found bode and took her to her father. I came shortly after. I thought you where dead, i mena you weren't breathing. But then your eyes popped open and you managed to walk out with me." She stopped a moment to let it all sink in.

She was swiped, but she just laughed. The dead pup fell from her mouth hit the ground with a sickening thud. The other two followed in her laughed. She left Wrom and Weasil to the man, and took off after the pups again. She was soon out of sight. "Little Ben is with those spirits now, Daddy wolf!"
Weasil and Worm pushed harder, forcing the wolf to the ground.
Warren frowned. "Look? What look?" he put a hand to his forhead, feelin git hot, before taking the class of water. He gulped it down, thought the liquid seemed to hurt his stomach. "I don't remeber any of that." But he was blushing.
"Um...thanks." He enver thought anyone would loook after him. He was never that good of a person, and as hlaf-elves went he was somewhat surly and indiferent.

Okay, this was about to get ugly. He knew when mages produced papers and acted nice they expected rules to be obeyed. laws of man, nature, whatever rules of whatever thing they were trying to enforce. But, he knew Kieran was not about to let this woman take Raziel without a fight.
"Allow me?"
He gently took the papers from the woman, looking them over. legalities aside, it was generally like ownership papers to an animal or slave. And llike most mages, she covered her potential loopholes rather well, before handing them back to her.
"According to those papers, the experiment of creation and the ownership of the created were given to the Wizen family. and it does explain Raziel's reluctance to see or hear our guest..who's name would be?"
then moving on, expecting her to answer that without him having to wait.
"However, in your death like state, he has aquired some freedom, and through it, I cannot allow him to be handed over to another. he, quite frankly, knows to much about the inner workings of my House and my own plans and agendas. letting him out from under Kieran, or my, control is a very large potential threat."
A look to the mage with a slight grin.
"Perhaps some kind of trade, or price might be arranged to make sure this little creature stays here. and before you think to deny the offer, I have absolutly no qualms whatsoever with destroying him out of hand for the protection of my House."

"People have fantasic imaginations and may have seen him in passing...easy enough to forge up something. And if you're so secure in your ownership of him...well then you should be carrying the originals...I'm sure you're well...prepared...to keep those in good condition." He was playing a bit of hard ball now wasn't he? Though his look didn't faulter when she claimed 'true' ownerhship over Raziel. A look to Malik as he took to playing his own little part in this...trying to keep a form of peace in easily seen tension was he? With that bored look he listening to Malik explain the papers. A look back to thier guest. "In essence...you abandoned him. He's learned a lot in his time own his own and with me. Things and ideals, freedoms, I'm sure you'd like him to forget...care to tell what you plan to do of that?" Not that he really cared because he wasn't giving him up, but he was intrigued. Leanign his weight to his left leg he crossed his arms over his chest.

"No!" Daz cried. He fought his hardest to keep the two jackels off of him but the wouldn't let up, and they took all of his attention. He bit and scratched. He howled. He was able to get one inside the leg, and another had a nasty gash on his arm. But the wouldn't stop. He wishe he had Eliot's trick of voice, and at least stunn them. The pups, had yet to grow defence mecanisms.
He rembered when Eliot's first came to light. When his daughter had been killed. He would lot let that happen to these pups! He kicked one in the jaw and on the head heard enough to nock him out for a moment. the other. he bit hard on the soft belly. they ingnoring them tore once again after Skunk.
Eliot smiled a little, remembering how her heart seemed to tear. Sh ewouldn't tell him that though. It wasn't... right Warren had told her. public displays, any displays of effection were wrong in this society. "It was all veyr noble." She said instead. She suddenly wasn't so sure how to handle herself so she went and got... patte, for Warren if he should want it. "You'll need to build your strength up."

She nodded and handed over the papers. "All in order of course." She smiled, giving a small bow, straining her boudice once again. Laudi Wizen, creator and current owner of Raziel." She waved a hand. "His change of ownership is covered in caluse twelve. Should soemtihng happen to me where I am inable to care for the creature, he is to be handed to my closest living relative until I am able to retrive him agian." She smiled and shook her head. "Now really, M'Lord. One of my standing can easily preform a mind altering spell. Those memories," as well as any earned here "can easily be gotten rid of. I have no interest in your manor."
She shrugged. "I did not abandon him. The one you know as Tarathile struck a blow against my tower, and for some time I was in a death like state, recuperating. It's difficult to convince anyone you are not dead when a sword has been pushed through your stomach.
"Forget his freedom? Perhaps, perhaps not. We will we see what suits my purposes best."

Did she just...? Ohy hell no! Zahara looked nonchalant remembering her plan to not let this woman know she could speak common. Which meant she had to act like she had no clue what had been said. In her head she was not nearly as calm. She was screaming. Oh hell no! She didn't roll that way. some Drow did, she went strictly male thank you very much. She merely raised an eyebrow and shook her head.Some kind of trade?! If Malik was thinking...oh hell no! "Why is she looking at me?"
