Nightmare snorted fire and paw in her stall. Open that door. oh please get that gate open. Ferret for lunch and drow losing his hand. She might be able to travel through shadow, but that woudl upset malik, and upset Malik might choose to sell her foals for profit. but if the gate was open..that wasn't her fault, now was it?
Malik nodded lightly.
"We'll need to keep a close eye on him. his abilities are foriegn to me, so I don't know exactly all he is capable of doing. Also we'll need to proof our room against a little rodent's intrusion. no need for him stealing things of ours if it can be helped. We'll be visiting the Oracle soon, and then we have buisness with our enemy to handle."
A small smile to her though.
"How many of his court do you think he's given a stroke or nervous breakdown to by telling them about his up close and personal study of Tier'dal?"

That smooth laugh of his as she got practically all fired up over the thing. Funny how she said she wasn't something when she wore a object that blatantly said, oh yes you you. What no slap to accompany? Well good, getting slap was damn annoying. "If you say so woman." Yes, that indeed was his response. Simple as that...he knew simple answers sometimes prodded the worst.
Then a little shurg, a pet to Nym was was busy walking his shoulders, looking for anything of interest again. Seemed when he got bored or distraced he took up the task. Also needless to say, Sev's belt pouches and pockets were often filled with odd and ends. "Then you better ferret proof your rooom and yourself." Another look to the horse...well she was having a fit now wasn't she? Though he wasn't concerned...his reflxes were top notch and he had runes on top to add to them.
She nodded back...ugh...she felt all business like. "I know somewhat of what he can do from watching my mother and what not. Though I don't doubt he knows a few more devious ways to manipulte than her. At least if we catch him scribing anything we'll know what it is." Yay book from mother. Though another nod and almost a smile at the mention of the ferret. He was a cute little guy. "Ferrets can squeeze under doors...so we're going to have to do a really good job of that...I have no desire to rise from reverie and find a ferret in my stuff." Then the oracle...they'd be going, Sev would probably be going, Zahara probably as well. Regular little party. Though she only halfway returned his smile at his joking. "I bet he's given Lateef quite the hassel several times over. He doesn't really advertise his studies."

Oh taht just fired her up more. "Yes I damn well do say! I am not a slave and I want that understood right here and now. I allowed this collar of my own free will. I put it on and I let the lock click and I did it for my own reasons! No one controls me! No one! Do you hear me?" A glance back at a pissy Nightmare and she rolled her eyes. She'd get over the ferret stealing her horseshoe and everything would be okay. She turned back to the foals giving them one more cube to keep them occupied and give her time to calm down. "I'm not ferret proofing anything. It won't do any good, you obviously let him go where he wants and do what he wants. In fact you probably trained him to find things to bring back to you. And if I find him in my stuff he won't be a happy ferret."

Wham! loud, hard thunk as Nightmare kicked her stall door, hard. and kicked it again. Then a snort. nope, those wouldn't break, Malik learned his lesson on that one a long time ago.
Malik nodded.
"Unless the little ferret is magically protected, I'll handle the door. but I woudl prefer if you handled all the locks and drawers and the like. just in case it finds a way in, the best defense against one thief is another."
A small chuckle.
"I have no intention of bringing Zahara to the Oracle. not one. And the runemage doesn't plan to stay with us, so no need for him to go either. However Onyx I'm sure will be wanting to go to see that woman. and bring the girl too. Maybe we can find out why her father hasn't come to collect her yet."

Oh and I thought you liked me. He gave a saddened sounding chirp as he perched close to Sevilin's neck, tail wrapped around the drow's neck lightly. He was hundered down low as well in further show of his displeasure. Why the change of heart? Another click of a noise as he pressed against Sevilin as if trying to hide himself.
Okay...he'd admit...he was sticking around in the stables thus far because he foudn how flustered she got was amusing. Not to mention she hadn't struck out of him once when usually pushing as he was now he would of been getting a beat down with probably a heavy metal staff with various sharp edges.
"I heard you the first time woman, no need to repeat yourself." Did he belive her? That was an entirely different story now wasn't it? Though at the feeling of Nym's actions a hand reached up to pet soothingly at the creature. "Well, if he gets into your things that's your fault then." Then a look at Nightmare who was baging against her stall now.
Serino nickered at her, throwing his head a little and pawing lightly at the ground. Come on now, calm down...you're gonna scare the kids. Let it go, he's just being an arrogant drow.
Why was mom having a fit? It was just one horseshoe...funny hair elf's mate would make you more, wouldn't he mom? A look at thier own hooves that lacked shoes, then at dad's who didn't use any either. Would they need some? Mom? Do we have to wear shoes? After all, thier feet seemed to touch the ground.
"He has a life rune on his head." She flipped open the rune book she had with her, thumbing through pages until she found a matching one that listed its uses. Getting up she walked over to him to stand next to his chair, showing him the page. "Gotta wonder what for exactly." Though a nod to him with somewhat of a laugh. "Lockproof the room like I buckle proof my travel clothes. Can do." Though a tilt of her head. "What if I wanted Zahara to go? Not to mention you want to send her to Tarathiel, and we both know he stays with Meilikki." Sevilin she could argue...but she didn't like him much right now and he could get fifth hand information for all she cared. A slight shake of her head. "It's a regular ramble party."

"My concern for Zahara is simple. she's a runaway. anyone who might be interested in her return woudl be looking for her. Kimmuriel admits himself he is constantly being watched by a sibling. if one of them sees Zahara, and decided to turn her in, where do you think they'll head?"
Simple logic.
"And what does a life rune do? I might be able to give you a better idea of why he has one."
Nightmare snorted and shook her head. besides the point. if you let the ferret get away with stealing, that imp will come back and think it's okay for him to eat them all.
Then a look down at her foals feet, snorting only a bit from dust. probably when your older. if I allow them to ride you. and if I do, they better show respect and know the gift they are getting.

That sad chitter made her reevaluate her quick response and she looked at the furry little creature. How did she get herself into these messes? Now she could lose face in front of Sev or let the ferret keep thinking she was mad at him. She chose to lose face, she liked th elittle ferret. Besides, maybe her next words would throw Sev off balance and give her some kind of advantage. "I suppose if I don't take the proper precautions it is my fault and then I have no say in the matter." The fire in her eyes died down and she watched the ferret. "I've upset him, haven't I?" Yep. Judging by th eway he was acting and the stroke needed from Sevilin, she had upset the ferret. Banked fires in her eyes she shook her head, "Please don't call me that. I have a name and I"d prefer if you would use it. 'Woman' I may be but it sounds too much like 'slave' or 'b***h.' So saying she glanced back at Nightmare who was trying to bust down her stall. "You've upset Nightmare. Bad move."

"Point taken..." Malik had his point, much liek herself before, Zahara was a runaway by fact of the matter...and drow were vengeful most of the time. Either they had no cared what happened to her, or were actively working to find her. It really was a guessing game when it came down to it. "You're the one who wanted said sibling to train her." See and now he wasn't makign sense from that statement. Men. Though a look to the pages, reading over teh elvish script that went alogn with it, perching absentmindedly on the arm of Malik's chair. "Let's see, basic healing, poison curative, mild regeneration though restricted to flesh wounds and limited enviromental aspects, prolonged life through, life lines...quite the handy little rune there. Though slightly worrisome if he is a Master."
Ride?Ooooo that was a new word now wasn't it. Though they looked at thier own hooves again as they got looked at by mom. Yay! They didn't have to wear anything on their feet till they got over. But the clink noise mom does make is pretty. You say 'cause you're a girl. Well it is! Head bonk. Ow! Mom! He hit me! Dad she started it!
Foals, weren't they adorable? With a snort her shook hsi head lightly. Then tell Malik...I'm sure he has some elaborate over the top setup he can come up with to keep your shoes safe. he flicked his ears. Mares and their shoes, honestly.
"Damn right it is...passing the blame will do you no good. And yes you have...he gets close to my neck when he's upset." Though he shrugged his shoulders at the mention of Nightmare. Nope, didn't give a damn about the horse at all. She could be mad all she wanted. "Fine then, Zahara was it?" He was holding back a look at the fact she had sobered and said please and was suddenly all nice. Devious drow behavior or odd sincerity? Good question.
Nym gave a chitter, looking out some from under Sev's stroking hand. So you aren't mad then? I always ask before I take something if someone is around...steal is such a harsh word really.

Zahara sighed, "I didnt' mean to upset him...I just don't like the thought of a ferret going through my things while I reverie. It doesn't really make me happy to think about that. What does he usually take?" She watched the foals playing and a soft smile played about her lips. They reminded her a lot of the imps in the way they treated each other. "And yes, it's Zahara. Zahara Val'Ril," she said with a nod. "And you're...?" They had never been formally introduced and it seemed as good a time as any.

"He's...sensitive." Yeah that was the word for it, but why was he conversing with this woman over his companions dispositon and moods again? Oh right, he found her amusing in a way. He hadn't been amused in quite a long time. "Make him like you and maybe a simple asking will keep him out."
After all...he didn't want Nym getting crushed or thrown about if he was caught. Life runes could only do so much and Nym's was specific to a certain function. Invincible and immortal, the little guy was not. Another shrug. "Shiny things, smooth things, useful looking things...things easily scribed and throwable."
Though a rather hard perplexed look to her. She was introducing herself now? What no greeting threat? She was a strange little drow. "Sevilin Inthara." And a nod to Nym. "He would be Nym."

"I thought he and I were getting along pretty well earlier." she said softly then was quiet for a moment. "But I'm not going to force him to like me, that's foolish. You can't force affection." She glanced at the foals and finally took a seat on the grass, tapping her fingers on the grass easily. "Pleasure to meet you Sevilin. And Nym as well of course." So time to make idle conversation. "Just why are you here? To help Malik, I remember you saying but are you here to help defend the Keep or take down the lich?"

We were, we are, you're the one saying that we aren't. He chittered lightly and walked along Sevilin's shoulder's before climbing up on the drow's head. Any otehr drow and he'd probably be getting flung straight across the room right now. No, Seviling didn't seem to mind Nym utterly invading his space on every level.
Wait wait wait, she was talking about not forcing things? On of his kind and a female, not wanting to force something to get her way? Was the sun out down here or something. How very intriguing. Though it made him throw his guard up...could be a trick after all.
"I don't help. I'm merely being paid for my services and those tasks will be decided by D'Vinn...or the surface elf." Yeah he had a sore spot for those things didn't he. HIghly doubted he would ever mention Piper with the D'Vinn title she was supposed to have...well maybe with Malik around, but only because he paid him.

She pointed her toes for a moment and then laid her legs out straight fixing her skirt so nothing that shouldnt' be showed was showing. Glancing up at him with a gleam in her eye she chuckled. "Not the helpful sort, huh? Can't say I blame you though. I wouldn't help Malik if he were the last elf on earth." She shook her head and said a bit forcefully, "Her name is Piper and I know that our kind don't like surface elves but please call her by her name. She's my...friend." What had gotten into her? She was showing her true colors so soon after meeting this Drow. What was he thinking of her? What was she thinking of him? Besides the fact that he was the most handsome Drow she'd ever seen...she really wasn't sure what to think of him.

Okay he was starting to let his paranoa spike up. What the hell was wrong with this drow? She let him antagonize her without retaliation really, and that was quite the throw off for him. Then again...she was living with the Tier'Dal and the surface thing...like that wasn't weird with in himself. He snorted lightly.
"Then you can call her Piper if she's your....friend." Yeah, you trust the backstabbing surface trash, daughter of the decietful surface trash. She shouldn't even be in the Underdark...and seeing her in a perfectly healthy state was worriesome...she has adapted. "Like D'Vinn said...I won't be dealing with her...and she'll gain my snide comments being capped around her." Not much more than that.
Though again that wary look as she got that look in her eyes. He didn't like that look. After all....sexual oppression wasn't his favorite thing at all, adn after a good three hundred plus years, he wasn't looking forward to letting himself be subjected to it anymore.

Okay, time to drop this subject before it upset her and she destroyed everything she was working to build. She still didn't know why but he intrigued her. Perhaps becaus ehe was a rune mage when she knew males weren't permitted to become rune mages in her home. She knew he was a Llothian Drow and it seemed that she wasn't the only one who was annoyed with the position she had been born into. "Ah well you didn't answer my question. What services are you offering for payment exactly?"
