"Works for me." Kimmuriel said as he followed Zahara. "Yes, a friend."

The knock was rewarded with both Breaker guards fingering thier hammers and teh yuan-ti statues seeming to keep thier eyes on the pair. the reason for no direct attack, Zahara. she was an accepted member of the house, so to speak, and as such those with her got benifit of doubt.
The door was opened by one of the souless, who due to lack of any other real abilities save direct stimuli seemed good for the job of opening the door if it was knocked on, and said what she was told to say.
"Greetings. if you are looking for an aquisition, please enter and be seated in the lower rooms to down the stairs and to teh right. if you are here for other purpose, to teh direct left is the main room, you may be seated thier while the master is told of your presence. May I have your name please m'lord?"
Malik grinned lightly.
"You helped defend my home, and your trade route presents many new opportunties. family or not, that deserves a reward of some kind from my standing. and fine, I'll select something, and hope you like it."
Then back to Piper.
"And I told you not to touch it, didn't I. That it wasn't something to play with."

Tarathiel turned his head to the soulless, "Sir Jon Irenicus the Fourth."
"And I think I'll just follow Zahara here."

Zahara chuckled and waved her hand, "He's with me and he's welcome in this house. Though you can let your Master know that I"m back adn in once piece." She headed through th ehouse to the dining room and took a seat at the table motioning for Tarathiel to sit across from her. "Interesting name you gave, afraid to let Malik know you're here?" It wouldn't be long now. She could already hear Malik coming down to lecture her on leaving without letting nayone know where she was going and on taking on the Underdark by herself.

"He'll know its me." Tarathiel responded. "Why would Sir Jon Irenicus the fourth come here?" The drow looked at the table, "What a comfortable life this kinda-drow lives. He uses doors, how secure must you feel to actual use doors." Secure, or stupid. Kimmuriel pulled his hood back off his head, taking his hair along for the ride. For a brief moment, a fair sized emarald on a band was visible on the top of his brow before the white hair was allowed to cover it up again.
"I guess I could try to peel some information about the opperations here from you, but I wouldn't feel comfortable calling myself drow if I didn't already known everything you do."

"I assure you I will Malik...I'm not a hard woman to please at all. Now all that's left is to rune your gate and get you an activation stone, now isn't it?"
She crossed her arms. "Telling me not to only made me want to more. Don't you know that? Remember I'm still considered young by our people's standards...I still have those 'do the opposite of what you're told' tendencies." Piper was being that half cute stubborn again. Though her attention came to the door where her favorite little servant girl stood there. The message had been passed to her since they knew she was favored and last they knew, Piper was in a horrible mood. Blinking she walked over to the girl, only to get said message which was received with a smile. "Zahara is back." Though she left out the other part because it wasn't' particularly important to her. Thus to sate her worry she excused herself from them and made her way downstairs to find her friend. "Zaha-" Stopped mid sentence as she laid eyes on lo and behold the person of Malik's disdain as of late. For a moment her hands tightened on her new bow out of sudden tension. Hm...how fast could she make it back upstairs to lock Malik in their room?

She nodded, "I quite figured he would. Besides the fact that he probably didn't fall for the trick of me enduring too much bloodloss and talking to myself or wandering off. He knew the entire time, Malevolence probably told him, damned sword." That last part was muttered under her breath and she looked up in time to see Piper walking in. She smiled, mindful of th eblood that still coated her body and her torn clothes. "Well hello Piper. My new friend here wanted to come and see where I lived, and he wanted to meet Malik as well. I think they have something to discuss if I"m not mistaken."

"Yes, those details I planned to work out with Kieran a bit later."
A glance at the servant, and a nod to Piper at her news.
"Good. that means I can yell at her too."
Then back to Fianna for a moment after Piper left.
"know anything about the andal slave trade if there is any?"

Fianna raised an eyebrow at him, but other than that she showed no outward reaction to the question. "There isn't one. Only thing we trade are your common resources." Though she also didn't give any indication of either condoning the talk or all out getting offended by it.
Take a breath and hope for the best. Though Malik wouldn't be happy that she had let Tarathiel stride right in. Oh the yelling...but a nod to Zahara, looking her over...looked like hell but she seemed peppy. "You're alright Zahara?" Then a look to between them...her friend? Talk about conflict on interest. "Oh believe me...we already know him. Don't we Captain Tarathiel?"

She glanced down at herself for a moment adn then up at Piper, "Looks a lot worse than it is, believe me." She nodded to Tarathiel, "I had a bit of a run in with a Sphinx who decided I was on th emenu for her next meal. She did quite a number on me and then when I was about to pass out, Malik showed up. Of course he didn't help or anything so I started on my way back to th emanor and I ran into Kimmuriel here who basically saved my life. But then I missed home and wanted to be back here so Kimmuriel was kind enough to bring me." The different name didn't even faze Zahara. Tarathiel to Malik, he'd told he rout in the woods, so she was prepared for it.

"Captain Tarathiel or Prince Kimmuriel." The drow said, "We've meet." He said inresponse to the introduction, after Zahara got her few words in.

Yeah she was a little distracted and her gaze seemed to bounce back to Tarathiel...because he meant an impending confrontation and that made her nervous. THough she tried to focus on Zahara. "He did...did he now?" Oh boy....extreme conflict of interests here. "Well...the important thing that that you're alright..."

"Yes, he gave me some kind of medicine to stem the bleeding before I passed out and succumbed to the eternal sleep. Malik refused to help me, he ordered me on my feet even though I was so bad off. Though in his defense my pride wouldn't have let him help me either. Oh and then I was used as bait for a Mind Flayer and we ended up defeating him together. And then Kimmuriel brought me back here." She nodded, that was pretty much the entire story. Simple, straightforward. "I expected Malik to come down and greet his guest by now, what is he occupied wiht Piper? Torturing some poor harmless animal?"
