Wow...he did it. And without much fuss either. Though she wished he didn't ask...you never ask what was in something. Then she hated even more than Bode told them. Thinking on it...she had indeed had worse...which was very hard to imagine at this point. "It means you can eat it." It didn't have any particular taste to it and the mix of ingrediants explained that. Then just to make Bode happy and to possibly gross out Malik she took another bite of the child's concoction she called food...and same as the first showed no dislike. Though her stomach was indeed trying to revolt on her. "I'd say good work Bode. Except you're supposed to waste egg shells...a little cooking tip for you."

thank god for blue skin, so he woudln't turn a green color.
"Interesting combination of things. though another tip for you. raisins and rutibaga are usually for desserts as opposed to main meals. However, considering what you had to work with, I'd say it didn't come out bad at all."
And she was still eating it? well then. okay...you can eat this. it certainly isn't as bad as the...stuff...tier'dal feed ogres. try being that taste tester to prove it's not poison. So a little steeling of teh stomach, and he went about eating like it was just any other meal. At least Piper was going to have to suffer through it with him.
Onyx grinned lightly, and unsheathed a claw, and used it to underline the first word.
"Start here, and just go across. then go to the next line down. it's not so hard once you get the hang of it. we'll have you reading fine in no time at all. just takes a little practice."
Of course while he was distracted, that tail of his was moving it's way to try to snake aroudn whirlwind's waist.

Bode looked confused. "Of course you can et it, it's food. So what doe edibable mean?" but she loked happy that they kept eating it, in fact, she went into the kitchen and got a palte for herself, and started eating without complaint. "Why do you waist the eggshells?" She asked aorund a mouthful
Aella blushed. That was a illy uestion, she had known that, hadn't she? Right, sure. "Um..all right." She stared at the first word a moment, looking to the others for help and not finding any. then..tail. She jumped and squealed. Laughing nervously, she pried the tail from aroudn her waist. "Okay, if you're goign to do tihs for me, then tail has to heel, okay? She didn't want to sound like sh was insulting him or anything...

"It means you can eat it, and its safe to eat, and you should eat it." That was a hard one to explain beyond it's base definion. "Because they only protect the good stuff used for cooking that's inside." Though a raised eyebrow did go to Malik...he had to be kidding her? He was actually going to take her to task on it. You're on elf boy. If he could finish his plate, she could finish hers. Though she'd probably be more sick from eating so much at one time as opposed to being sick from what she was eating. Not to self...chew some cinnamon before going to see mom and dad for goodbyes later, let's see...calculating time...four hours to either keep it down and settle it or loose it? She could deal with that. What a way to bond with the one she loved...

Okay, she was a bit worse off than he thought, since the first word was it, starting a long passage about the description of the area and the heroine..then she jumped and squeeled..which got a confused look..tail. Good lord. So he grabbed it and quite promptly sat on it.
"That better? and the first word is 'it'."
"Well. edible means that not only can you eat it, but it doesn't taste bad. it might not taste really good, but it's nto bad."
A glance at Piper about the eggshells.
"Well. for the same reason that you wouldn't take a bath with clothing on. the shell is the eggs..protection. we don't need to eat that, since the part we want is past the shell. it would be much like eating the feathers on a bird."

"Yeah, of course you can eat food." She was stating to get a little exasperated. "It's FOOD. It all tastes good, all food is edibable." But she looked pensive aobut the eggs. "Oh I see. But...you COULD eat the feathers if you wanted to, right?
She nodded., a little shakey. "Yes." She brought her eyes back ot the page. Ah yes, she could see it notw. it. Right, she could have gotten that. "Okay, it. It...w..was a..." gees, she felt stupid, "lonely...c..ca.." she frowend. "Is that an s, t and l?"

Piper blinked, trying to concentrate on Bode as opposed to her plate. That's how she ate when Malik said seh should have 'full meals' at dinner. She just put her mind someplace else and kept shoveling till the plate was clear. "Well...I suppose you could. If you like the taste of feathers. From personal experience I can tell you feathers aren't the tastiest thing in the world...stick to the roof of you mouth." She said what now?

That got a look, and a shake of his head. Piper eating feather..well didn't surprising him being a fletcher. they did have this thing with wetting feather and the like to put on thier arrows. but he finished his plate and pushed it forward a bit with a slight grin.
"We can save what's left for Zahara, I'm sure she wouldn't want to disappoint you by not being one to give your meal a try, now would she?"
Onyx grinned lightly.
"Yes, followed by an e. it's spells 'castle'. your doing rather well for someone who isn't very good at reading. please do continue, and I'll keep this tail under control. would you like me to underscore the words with my claw?"

She'd been standing off to the side teh whole time. Her eyes had widened when he'd gotten Piper to try it and she really almost lost it when Bode revealed just what she'd put in it. She did want to kick Malik for his little comment but she just smiled sweetly and stood there watching the little girl. She was so excited and it really was sweet but Zahara couldn't eat that food. There was no way in hell, she wasn't going to do it. "I think Malik likes it so much he wants seconds, why don't you dish some more out for him Bode. Don't you just love it Malik?"

Here was the problem...silently, perhaps unaware that they had done it, Malik and Piper had entered into a 'who can stand the horrible taste and texture loner' type competition. Subconcious level battles were fun weren't they. So if Zahara goaded Malik into having more, it meant more for Piper. He would only eat it to show her up and she would eat it to try and prove she could take it just as easily without flinching as he could. A lesson for Zahara to learn...spurring on one, was just like spurring on the other when it came to things like this. If they hadn't messed with each other to begin with they wouldn't be in this situation, but there the two elves were, in maybe unacknowledged competition. Damn it.

"Sir," Warhammer asked Tarathiel when the two were standing alone outside of Stonekeep. "Why did you bring Jiscal and Dagger here."
"Because I could." Replied the drow.
"What are they going to do for you?"
"Nothing."
"Then why did you bring them to your little enclave of conspiritors?"
"Malik wants him gone, so I don't." Replied the drow.
"Captain, you should not toy with peoples lives."
"I don't toy with them so much as I simply refuse to believe that they are my equals."
"Sir, you are doing it again."
"It?"
"Do recall, you asked me to be your semi-consious in times when your actions prove to be too dangerous for even you to survive. This is one of those times."
"Just because I am creating a war and inviting everyone to come."
"Yes." Pausing the Minotaur took a rather strange glance at Tarathiel. "You have a plan?"
"Yes, I invented it while Malik was talking to me." Replied to Drow. "His basterdly sword was pulsing and that lead me into a series of non-serious ploying order to confuse him should he decide to tap into me, because I turned the Mind Shield off."
"Why did you have Orko build you the Mind Shield if you are not even going to employ it against the person... Nevermind, My wisdom yet again fails to meet the expectations of your soul, Captain."
"C'mon WH, you know I wont betray you yet." The captain smiled and chuckled softly.
"Only because you need my skills and do not have a replacement."
"That is not the whole truth of it."
"And I can be used to manipulate that black cat?"
"Still not the whole of it."
"Meilikki and Aella enjoy my presence."
"Yep."
"Dispite the fact you are afraid to be in a serious relationship with the fairer sex," Warhammer decreed, "You certainly enjoy to keep them happy."
"Because..."
"You like to annoy your sister."
"And..."
"You hate your mother."
"And..."
"No one can tell you what to do and how to do and why to do it without losing valuable property or having their goals collapse within on themselves, save the persons you deem worthy at whichever time you believe is righteous."
"Close enough."
"Sir, your plotting will only lead to your destruction. Not planing anything has kept you alive for seven hundred years, how long do you think plots can keep you alive?"
"IF my understanding of our blue skinned cohort is correct, I should probably be dead by the end of this week."
"Does that not concern you?"
"Not really. When I go down, I am taking the rest of you with me." The drow prince laughed maniaclly.
"No you wont."
"Oh, Yes, I most certainly will."

(Random post of boredom time again)
"You have anymore of those things lying around? Don't need to search under the bed or anything do you?" She was teasing him as she was doing a round of the room, just to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything.
"I'm sure dearest. My journals are something I would never leave behind unless intentional." He sat at the desk drafting a letter in scribbled common. Next to him was a pile of journals and books, but those weren't his, those were Malik's. Kieran was a notorious book snatcher thus why they were on the desk at it's corner. So he wouldn't throw them in with his things. The letter? To the rune mage he was trying to get for Malik...or at least would be once he got it translated to drow. "How are you feeling?"
"A little worn to be honest" Making sure they were all packed she moved things neatly against the wall and took a seat on the bed. For a moment she watched Kieran as he struggled with his writing in common. "Kieran?" She patted the matress when he looked over to her. "Come have your reverie. The letter can wait. Besides, a little peace of mind before goodbyes never hurt anyone." A gentle smile at him.
Kieran smiled back and put down his quill, folding the letter once before pushing from the desk and walking to the bed, wrapping his arms about Fianna as he sunk down to the bed. Yeah, he could definately use a little peace of mind...what with the worry and all of late. "You're right. We should both take to it." Pulling her close he sighed lightly, nuzzling her hair and letting his eyes fall shut. "Amin mela lle Fianna."
She smiled, laying her head to his chest and wrapping and arm around him, pulling herself close to him in his hold. It was nice to be close to him again. They did spend quite the time apart and it was trying on them, despite what outward appearances covered. Easily she let her eyes fall shut to join him in reverie. "Amin mela lle Kieran."

Bode, happy as ever, dished more into everybodies plates, including her won. She ate with relish. To be hoenst, she probably didn't even taste it.
"Do you really like it? I have all kinds of recipies I've beenw anting to try out! You guys will love all of them too!"
She shrugged. "I've memorized some words>" nothing special. See it once, figure out once, and then she's got it. Usually. Not too bad. "I"ll probably forget it the next time I see it." She smiled a bit. "Please do." refering to both the book and the tail.

A glance at Piper, and Zahara.
"Sure, Bode. but do make sure to get Zahara some. after all, a meal is to be shared."
Then he ate, not a complaint, no hesitation, like it was just another meal, though heavy downing of the wine with it.
Onyx grinned lighty, and nodded, sitting on his tail and keeping it under control and underscoring her words as she read with his claw.
"You're still doing just fine, keep it up and you'll be reading on your own in no time"
A warm grin and a purr for her.

Piper got about three fourths way through her second helping of the stuff before she put it down. Not because the taste was getting to her but she was starting to feel the effects of eating so much. Needless to say she was feeling quite sick. Though it was probably the most Malik had ever seen her eat in one sitting. The price of love and competition...it wasn't fair nor fun. Propping an elbow on the table and dropping her head into her hand, she pushed her plate away some. "I'm done..." Because if she forced anymore down, she was going to loose it all.
