Zahara couldn't care less what the slaves were thinking and she merely allowed the little ferret to wander about the kitchen counter. She picked out a few sugar cubes and listned to him chitter away then stowed them in her special spot beneath her skirt. An inside pocket she had sewn into all her skirts for money and the like when she needed it. But she could see the slaves were getting upset so she picked up the ferret and plopped him back on her shoulder. "Come on little one. There's more things to see and we don't want fur in our food, even if it is cute fur." And with that she walked out of the kitchen and outside, clicking her tongue to call to the zephmares.

Hey! Where did you put those! I saw you stash those! Oh he would find out sooner or later, drow had to reverie after all. All evles did. Though a chitter at her as she picked him back up, he was getting quite used to the action at this point. Though little paws more or less 'combed' through her hair as they went outside. Grooming or searching, who knew.
Though at the sight of slighly unfamilair creatures his interest was peaked. Though he stayed on her shoulder. Horses, he knew them just not well. He also knew that getting crushed under one's hooves wasn't the top thing on his list. So what are we doing here?
Sevilin had taken leave of both Malik and Piper...no doubt to teh surface elves joy. She had that look to her that said she wasn't happy with him...but maybe that was more or less because he blantantly told them he was hunting Kieran when he got his chances. Oh well, he worked for them, and wasn't required to be liked or thier friend.
Stopping at a doorway he touched the wall next to the door and touched a finger to the stone walling. A point of red light appeared at his fingertip and he traced his finger in a runic pattern. The rune glowed a bright red for a moment before vanishing. He was marking the place with several kinds of runes.
Though his main beef was that Nym had been taken off by the drow woman. Sure, he could take care of himself but he didn't like him in the presecne of his species females...they often tried to make a scarf out of the little guy. Thus he tracked Nym through his runic know how, getting lead outside to what appeared to be stables. They had horses in the Underdark? This just got more and more amusing didn't it?
Non funny haired elf! With little nickers they upped themselves from the floor, long still unsteady les causign some stumbling. They liked Zahara, she awlays brought them sugar. Sometimes her and the funny haired elf would come together and play with them. But it was just this one this time. You got treats for us? Please say you do! We've been good! Really good! Mom hasn't snapped at us once and dad hasn't yelled! The little tempest bumped her brother some, seh wanted attention first.

Zahara laughed joyfully. The female was easily her favorite. She looked at them both and then glanced at the little ferret still on her shoulder. "These are Zephmares," she said to him. "They happen to love sugar, don't you little ones?" And with that in a motion so quick no one could follow it she had the sugar out of her little pocket and was offering a cube to the female she'd called over. The other cube was in her hand ready to offer to her brother but because she was her favorite, she always got attention first. A glance out at the others and she saw Serino hanging out grazing in that strange way Zephyr's did. She'd brought an apple for him and that came otu as well. "Hello Serino, how are you today? Missing Nerian are we? Or are you enjoying the time alone." A glance at Nightmare who still wasn't happy with her but she'd give her a bit more time and then Nightmare too would come to like her. Yes, Zahara and the horses, she loved them.

Apple! Serino gave quite the happy nicker, padding over and taking the apple from Zahara with an appreciative nuzzle to her hand once the thing was gone. Then a look to Nightmare who was half napping at this point in the day. HUngry foals could be tiring for her. So she got a nuzzle before a snort back to Zahara. Oh he was enjoying the alone time. Loved Nerian and all, but hey.
Sugar! She took her cube and her brother took his as well, happy little noises exchanged between the two and to Zahara as well. She made them happy inside. By this time, they were a bit bigger than they were before, more steady on thier legs and had the tiniest amount of control of thier powers. They were also still little attention whores with no shame about it. hey what's that thing you have with you? Can we eat it? Mom says if we can catch it we can eat it. But no spiders.
Nym scurried down her arm to hold at her wrist and sniff at sugar before the little horses snatched up the cubes. Where did you pull those from woman? Don't worry, I'll find out sooner or later...then nothing you keep on you is safe from Sev. A happy chitter scurring up her arm again adn standing on his hind legs at her shoulder, looking out the stables and gave a high pitched chirp. Sevilin!
Sure enough he was standin right behind Zahara, looking tenses up and none too please. The half scowl was all that was needed to portray that one. "Nym, I've been looking for you." And the ferrtet dropped from Zahara, running the short distance between the two drow to jump to Sev's braid, making it swing a moment before climbing up and resting on his shoulder.
Sev gently smiled at the creature and then pet at him as he nuzzled the drow. "Mind your wandering feet." And his look turned to Zahara, regarding her rather coldly. Okay he'd admit it...he was being biased against her simply because she was a female drow. Though he said nothing...he was rather quiet around her wasn't he?

She watched the horses with a sweet smile on her face and even patted their noses gently, showering them with affection. She heard teh ferret chittering like crazy and looked at him then was about to offer him half a cube when he scurried down her shoulder and she heard that Drow's voice, stiffening instantly. She turned around and her expression moved back to the indifferent one she wore around other Drow.She sniffed, "He could have left at any time. I didn't force him to come with me." she said in that same voice she'd spoken to him earlier. Was he accusing he rof something? And just why was he out here? "I take it your meeting is finished." she said turning back around after noting that Nym was in his rightful place. Another cube offered to the mares.

He raised an eyebrow in quizical fashion...before making himself drop back into miffed expression. "I didn't say you were holding him hostage now did I? How often are you going to assume things of me?" With a grunt of annoyance he stepped into the stables, examining them and it's contents a moment...before laying a hand to a support beam and scribing a run that glowed then disappeared.
"Fond of the horses?" Why he asked? Because he was trying to learn here that was why. And she was blantantly honest about the horses. But to him it wasn't an issue to rag on her either...after all, he cared for Nym. "Yes...it's finished. Though I doubt pleasntess will rain upon me from this place." Speaking of which he needed to scout soon.
They were a little put off by Sev, running back to mom and dad for a bit first before they cautiously watched him a few minutes, then went back to Zahara for thier treats. If they weren't brave they wouldn't get any treats now would they?

She followed him and watched as the red symbol appeared on the stable wall adn then disappeared and she shook her head, "Just what do you think you're doing? Planting spying runes or something? Do you really think you can just waltz in here and put these anywhere you please?" She shook her head and walked back to the horses watching them closely to see what they thought of the stranger. When they came back to her she indulged them and gave them their sugar. "Not that it's any of your concern but no I'm not fond of them. I am merely trying to teach them not to fear me. A horse who fears her mistress will not obey. The sugar is merely a device to gain their trust while they are children. As for th apple, that's so their father doesn't get upset when I am among his children." Lying? Oh yes. She loved the mares but she wasn't about to confess that to this Drow.

"Yes, indeed I do really think I can waltz in here and rune where I please. They aren't spying runes...just location markers for me to use for easy translocation to this place. No accidental location landings or the like. Again you assume too much." Boy did she had an attitude on her.
Though a look over her as she proclaimed she wasn't fond of them. "Pity. Well...in my opinion...not that my opinion would matter much to you anyway." He didn't deny he was fond of Nym, in fact he rather openly displayed that he was. He dare called Nym a friend.
"Then again I wouldn't know how horses of any sorts would work." He didn't take the time in them realy...after all, not many horses survived the Underdark.
Nym had at this point scurried into the tack room and he was surrying back, with a mithril horsehoe in his mouth, dragging it along to Sevilin where he dropped it on the drow's boots, recieveing a pet for his effort and also a little treat from Sev from his belt pouch.

Turning back around she watched him closely. So they weren't spying runes then? She wasn't sure if she believed him or not, wasnt' sure if she should question him or not. He'd told Malik that he had no problem putting her in her place if she got out of line and she was so tempted to push him just to see if he would live up to his threat. He didn't have the Master Leash so there wasn't a whole lot he could do to her. Maybe scribe some runes to paralyze her or something like that or he could physically overpower her. A slow intake of him, she allowed her eyes to roam blatantly over his form for a moment. Tall, muscled, no doubt good looking, yes it would be very interesting to see if he would live up to his threat. "No one asked for your opinion." She turned back to the foals and couldn't help but laugh. "I suppose I do feel some affection for them. They are fascinating creatures, much like Nym." she said it quietly, almost hoping he wouldn't hear her. She didn't want him thinking she was soft or that she was weak, he was a Drow after all. But a shake of her head and she asked almost chuckling, "Does he steal everything?"

Malik was in teh main room with piper, drinking a glass of wine and drumming his fingers on the side of his chair. Sev was what he expected. though what he did not expect was that Kieran was being 'hunted' by him. and he obviously had a serious dislike for surface elves. a touch of concern about the relationship between them both.
"Think your father knows about the other objectives that Sev involves himself in?"
A glance to Piper, and back to thoughts. he woudl have to find a method of keeping a very close eye on this newest aquisition of services.
Nightmare got up, and reared a bit and snorted at the ferret stealing one of her shoes. give that back you little thief! and Sev..horse? I am no mere HORSE! I'm a Nightmare, and that's a big difference! Serino, you here what he called me!? I shoud bit his hand off, and eat that little thief!
Yes, moody nightmare. the other Zephyr had run out on them, she's lost one of her herd to that surface elf.

His eyes got a little hard as her own violet eyes wandered him. He had often been told that he was a handsome elf...and was often used as procreative fodder for that purpose. At this point he had a little over a hundred children that he knew of, a little over half still living. Not that he knew any of them, he wasn't given that right naturally. And as usual when she turned from him showing no more interest he almost let out a breath of relief. One would think he'd like that fact that he could basically have a woman whenver he wanted...eh, it wasn't that fun for him really.
"Of course...and I'm not allowed to have one right?" A sting right back at her, using thier culture to fend her off some perhaps. If he pissed her off she wouldn't want him around. Though a look at the horseshoe he held before it disapperaed into a belt pouch and Nym was climbing up his hair again. "Yes in fact. Anything he things useful he brings to me, anything he finds amusing he keeps for himself. And socks, those are his."

"I didn't say that, now did I?There you go assuming again. I can't stop you from having an opinion but you don't need to voice it anytime you wish to do so." She glared right back at him. Wow they were both beign mean to each other. She didn't act like this with anyone else, not even Malik. Malik she jsut downright didn't like but she didn't really have a problem with Sevilin. "Good thing I don't wear them, though he's goign to have a hard time finding something to steal from me. I don't have anything in here but blades and what the gods thought fit to bestow upon me." She ran a hand through her hair and watched the other Drow through the corner of her eyes, she'd always been taught not to turn her back on any other Drow. It was a prime invitation to slip a blade between their shoulders. So she stood half turned presenting him with her side instead of her chest or her back.

She was chewing on a cinnamon stick, sitting opposite of Malik and a little distracted with her own thoughts. No...she was about as fond of Sevilin as he was of her. And her ego hurt too. Now she kind of got what Malik felt when he lacked respect in his own home. It downright sucked. Nor was she enjoying that he was basically after her father inparticular. A look to Malik though at his question...she was brooding slightly. "He probably knows all to well and prevsely enjoys it. 'Determination of the Drow, an involved study..."
Serino nosed at Nightmare...she wouldn't admit it, but she had taken a liking to Nerian. She was taking his loss a little hard actually. But chin up dear, Nerian had told him a secret and perhaps her herd would grow larger in due time.
A look at the horse as she seemed to get pissy. Though he wasn't impressed. He knew she was a nightmare...but that meant little to him. For one who didn't find favor in horses he really didn't care what her deal was. "Funny...I thought I had that freedome here. Opinions can be insightful at times..." Okay she was starting to infuriate him again.
"Oh...he'll find something. If you own it and he thinks I can use it, he'll take it...that's just how he is." Though a roll of his eyes as she spoke of Gods. Priestesses and thier Gods references. It was almost sickening. With a look to her, Sev smirked. "Your Gods graced you with a collar? Or was that D'Vinn's doing?" Oh he noticed...she wore one, the surface elf wore one, the slaves wore ones as well.

He just had to poke didn't he? Her violet eyes flashed fire and she glared at him. "No the gods didn't grace me with a collar and neither did D'Vinn." Her hand went up to tug at it the slightest bit. "I put this on myself for your information so don't go getting into your head that I'm a slave or that Malik controls me because he doesn't! No one does and no one ever will again!" Yes she was rather heated about this subject and watned to make sure he understood that she was not a slave. "Well he better not steal anything of mine. I don't condone thievery."
