"Because your attractive."
Oh the look on his face, that half grin, that ment he was thinking something he probably shouldn't be. but since Zahara was apparently acting stupid as to being able to understand common..why not.
"Well, Mage Laudi. As I am sure you can tell, Kieran is not going to reliquish him to you willingly. and being the monarch of his own kingdom in a plane that differs from here, he has, quite frankly, to force to stop you."
A pause there.
"How about, a different arrangement. You find the drow woman here very attractive, as I can tell by your constant looking. what if we offered her to you for the evening, for your pleasure, and maybe you can extract somethign from her, soem kind of basis for a new familiar, while reliquishing this one to Kieran? I have necromancers that would be willing to assist in teh creation or supply components to you for this. the girl can be a kind of....bonus gift for the evening."

A brief look to Piper before back to Laudi. "Forgive my ways of thinking...but to erase what he values seems so...barbaric." Kieran liked to poke with words before blades. Of course another one of those bored looks. "Suits your purposes...and what may be those? I could be using him for my own."
Slap. That's what Malik got at mentioning that straight off. Wasn't a bad one, could of been considered a love tap, but still...she had to get her point across. "We'll not bo making such an arrangement at all, Malik. Zahara is not one of your little toys to pass around to anyone you see convient to pass her to." Not getting up later tonight? Oh she begged to differ now. "Understand me?" Zahara was her friend.

"I can indeed see he is reluctant. But I will remind you that Sir Kieran is not in his own kingdom, and while in this land he must or at elast should obey these laws. I have no intention of starting a war."
She did look rather sadden by Kieran's comment though. "Barbaric? Indeed it is." But she said nothing else on that subject.
She rubbed a finger against her chin, looking over Zaharah once more. But she shrugged. "She does not appear to be yours to hand me, M'Lord. Besides, I find a one sided attraction so very unfulfilling." again with a shurg. "It is not so simple. As Raziel holds information of you and your housings, so does he have information about mine. If I could create another familiar with the same information as his I would have done so already, rather than track him down."
She thought a moment though. "Her genetics would make a lovely shoulder angel," she smiled.

OH HELL NO! Malik thought he was funny did he? Well he wasn't! It wasn't even a fair trade, dammit. Some little fairy winged thingy that belonged to Kieran for her? So not happening. The minute that...thing touched her she'd have a blade at her throat. Zahara was not playing with that. "So? Piper's attractive, I don't see you bartering her off!" Hmmm...Piper slapped him and stood up for her. Appeased a bit, calmed slightly. he tried it again and she was going to go Lolth on him. And even more appeased by teh woman's words. No one sided attraction. That was a good thing. You're damn right I'm not his to hand off. Just because I wear a collar means nothing! A bit of a self concious tug at it around her neck. Then...wait a minute...genetics? What the hell did that entail?

A look to Piper that said she was pushing her limits with him. Zahara wore a collar, and that came with it, his right to pawn her off. okay, another idea.
"Raziel contains all of this information about your home and it's workings. yet, by his design, Raziel is an information sponge. he doesn't forget, save under apprently very severe trauma, and listens eager to absorb any and all information. You have at least some attraction to Zahara...how about we give you the material from her to create another like Raziel, and then, Raziel can simply recite any and all information you wish this new familiar to know."
A shake of his head.
"Kieran will fight you tooth and nail on this, and we can go around circles for years before one of you decides they are fed up and draws steel or wields magic. there are alternative methods to end this situation, and I suggest we use them. or I'm going to get fed up and just destroy the little thing. I have enough on my mind without the worries or a mage and a elven monarch both wanting to lay claim to a familiar."
Though a glance at Zahara, he coudl prod to.
"I coudl have her broken into adoring you perhaps with my necromancers. but that does leave the personality so bland. and no one likes that I find."

Piper knew that look. Her pushing it with him? He was the one pushing thigns with her. Malik knew how she felt about it all and had mentioned before how he'd try to at least get along with her. This was three steps back and out the door. He got the same look back from her, triple colored eyes narrowing into a slight glare as he proceeded to push. Crossing her arms over her chest, she took on that almost deadly pissed look that she had learned from Malik in fact. Oh yes, she'd fight him about it...she was stubborn after all.
"I never tried to use my status to push the issue. That was Malik. I, dear mage, am quite aware that I am out of place...so any power I may have under my control is useless/. However I have my own to rely on, not to mention...I'm speaking with my basic principals...not my position. Your laws just happen to collide with those and clash."

If she was letting everyone know she could understand common she would have growled. Nobody's taking anything from me! Get your own tools to barter with you a**! She swore one eye twitched. Beat me into submission? I think not. Nor am I going to let you get near me with your demonic little things either. But of course she coudln't say any of it. She simply tapped her nails and looked extremely bored. Running her fingers through her hair she sighed, "Who gave you the right to use me as your bartering tool?"

She shrugged. "I am comfortable with such an arangment, as long as I erasse the information from Razie;s mind later. t would not effect you, seeing as how he has mostly forgotten me at this point. She looked at Kieran. "I am in no way trying to deprive you of a good freind, raziel was the same to me when in my presnence. I simply need the information, as well as a replcemnt,,sponge." She looked at Piper and at Zahara. "But I will not take the genetic codings of one so reluctant to do so. Her aura will muddle the process, and perhaps whatever I create will not be what I want."

"Then it's a deal. and how do you obtain these codings, and what must one do to volunteer to give them. I'm sure I can find an appeasing to teh eyes slave in my stable for this purpose."
Good. that was all done, no one gets hurt, no need to kill the feathered familiar.

"You like to mess with the memories of your good friends then?" He just felt the need to point out the little fact that didn't go with traditional friendship, now did it? But alright...he'd stop pushing seeing as she was going to take Malik up on his offer...not that he particularly liked Malik's either.
Piper sighed and rolled her eyes. And there went Malik on his own little questioning on the process. Then again...Malik used to sort of been into that sort of business and he didn't like being left out of the loop. And to think...she forced food down for him too...what a night this was turning in to.
Fianna, being quiet the whole time, merely kept up her observations, petting at Raziel as he was curled up in a little ball in her hold. "See Raziel...I told you." Again, questionable if she could understand him, but that wasn't the point. Point was she was trying to get the little guy to calm down.

She smiled and chuckled at Malik. "Sorry, M'Lord. My secret. The obtaining of genetic code is not something we want exposed to the rest of the scientific community. The more who know. the more potentail for disaster." She rolled a hand. "As...uncaring as the Wizen might have been at one time, we are no longer so careless in any og our dealings."
She shook hr head. "But I will only take the young drow's genteics, if she is willing. I don't want a common slave." Well, two sides of her eh? All women were vain to a point.
Raziel calmed a bit, but didn't take his hands from his ears. "Is she gone yet?" He whispered.

Well now, seemed everythign fell into Zahara's hands now. She could give up her...gentics or she didn't have to. But Malik was going to try to convince her. That should be interesting. She was rather pissed at him at the moment. And seemed Piper wasn't too happy with him either, not that she could blame her, after all the b*****d had tried to barter her off. "well then...what's going on now?" They'd reached some sort of agreement that much was obvious.

"Simple. Raziel's life is in your hands. you volunteer to give genetic material to make a replacement, or I'm going to just kill him. I'm not going to spend days whie these two try to find a different arrangement."
Malik shrugged lightly, and waited on Zahara, giving a look to Piper.
"Satisfactory to you this time, Piper?"

Fianna simply continued to pet over Raziel's hair and feathers with her fingertips in that sooting manner that she seemed to possess. "Not gone...but at least compliant. You'll be fine, you have my word and on my honor. Donaith wouldn't let anything happen to you."
He was still standing his ground across from Laudi, arms still crossed and look stern. Oh Malik was right....when it came to something such as friends and family and honor...Kieran was never one to back down easily. He wasn't afraid of what his pushing might get him into either. So...it was going to rest on Zahara was it?
She had a spaced out look to her and sort of looked between Malik and Zahara, catching a litltle more than half of the things being said between them. Hm...she needed to study more. Though her eyes turned back to Malik at his questioning. "I guess it will suffice...though things go sour and you won't be killing...I'll take it into my own hands if I have to." Always one to stand against Malik in certain ways, wasn't she?

"And once again I ask you why do you think you can use me as your bartering tool?" She shook her head and considered it. It all depended on what it entailed. Okay...time to ask Laudi herself what it was. She took a deep breath and looked at the mage and said, "You want me? What kind material you need?" Zahara wanted to just shake her head. She sounded so stupid right now...but she couldn't speak common. She didn't want to see little Raziel die but she held out her hand to Fianna, "Can I see?"
