Her eyes narrowed dangerously when she saw she was in that hallway. What kind of house was this? He must be really paranoid or he'd led her into a trap. If he went through that other door, he might lock her in the tunnel. And that would serve to piss her off even more. It was a long tunnel and she was really suspecting a trick when he opened the other door and both stepped through. She glanced back at the closed door and then said, "Do you enjoy a ten minute trek or are you just really paranoid?" she asked sarcastically. She glared at him and tossed her head, "I'm not a prisoner here Sevilin, unless you just want me to stay forever and ever. How flattering, I had no idea you liked me so much you wanted to lock me up in your big, bad house just you and me." A smirk tipped her lips and she mentally checked the scoreboard. He was still ahead but she was catching up.

"Into the beast's den, you wandered. I don't care to have you wandering away and giving away my location. I prefer my private lifestyle and the last thing I need is you mucking it up with your comings and goings. Watch your tongue or I'll lock you away for real...and you won't like that at all."
For a moment he looked her up and down in that challenging way. "Perhaps you should newly define your term of prisoner. There's a difference between being locked up and being locked away. And by your definition, that makes me just as much a prisoner as you." Though he only snickered at the rest of her childish banter.
A dismissive wave. "Try not to break anything..." And he went to go clean himself up. Hell he didn't care about her wandering about the place. Touch things she wasn't supposed to she'd get a little shock, try to go places he didn't want her she'd find invisble barriers. Whole place was booby trapped and cloaked with illusions. Yes he was paranoid...but he'd call it cautious.

She glared at him and seethed silently though her pulse jumped when those eyes wandered up and down her body. Little bolts of heat seemed to jump beneath her skin and she shivered lightly before watching him walk away. She knew it hadn't been meant the way her body took it but...that didn't change the effect. She muttered some things under her breath and wandered around the house for a moment. Peering into the kitchen, the connecting living room adn then she found the stairs. Bedrooms were probably upstairs. She walked up and found a room to the left and went in, found a bathroom and thought she'd never felt happier. Stripping out of those clothes immediately she turned on the water and happily began to scrub spider guts and refuse off of her. In no time she was clean..but she needed clothes. Ah well, grabbing a towel she wrapped it around herself toga style and headed downstairs to raid his fridge. She rummaged through his fridge searching for something god to eat.

A chitter signaled she wasn't alone and on the table behind her was in fact a little silver and black ferret. Between chitters he was grooming himself. Looked like he was still half wet. Well that's because he just got out of the shower and shaken off. Wow Zahara had beat him to the fridge for snacks. Chitter.
Though he didn't know what she was looking for. They didn't have much, food seemed to be a rather bare thing in the kitchen completely. The signs of someone who didn't seem to eat much or had cleaned everything out and hadn't gone shopping. Chitter, back to grooming damp half messy fur.
Clean check, fresh clothes, check. Though sore, very very sore. And that nose bleed was still being a bit persistant but he'd was finally getting under control. Damn runic stress. And then add in the stress of having to babysit. Oh Malik would hear it from him alright. Currently he was working numbers in his head for how much to charge the b*****d to making him play innkeeper.

Zahara heard that chitter and turned around grinning at Nym. "Hey you. You hungry? I know I am, I haven't eaten in a while and I'm sure I can whip something up from what he's got..." He certainly needed to go shopping now didn't he. She began rooting through his cabinets and found a pot, filling it with water and setting it on the stove to boil, then she began pulling out the last of his ingredients and dumping them in the pot. Some vegetables right on the brink, the last of his meat. "Tsk tsk the man has no spices...we'll have to make due now won't we?" she said to Nym. And she began to chop things and mince things makign her own spices as much as she could. She'd be damned if she was going to make stew that didn't taste good for her first meal in Sev's house. She absentmindedly wiped soiled fingers on the towel still around her and messed up his kitchen.

Hungry? A look down at his tummy. Well it's not puffy, no I must be right? Good logic, very good logic. Slinking down the table he worked his way around the kitchen and up to the counters watching as she went about making food. Hey this smelled good. We don't cook too much. Then again we don't eat everyday so why cook?
A twitching nose at all she did, every now and then flopping down to lick and groom at his fur with nimble little paws. He didn't like being wet, but he was drying fast what with the heat from the stove and everything. Felt good. Though it got to the point where he was playing with Zahara, attacking her hand as it went through various motions. He was always spunky after baths.
What what was that smell? Oh gods...she'd gotten to the kitchen...and was probably using up the last of his supplies. Women, they're eyes were bigger than their stomachs, she'd end up wasting more than half of whatever it was she was doing. Securing the end of just braided hair he pushed it back over his shoulder and turned to leave the room. Damage control would be good wouldn't it.
And it took about all his control to not hurt her when he saw the kitchen. Damn it. "By Lloth woman, can you make anymore of a mess?!" About to tirade at her he lifted a finger to gesticulate in that parent to child manner when he noticed she was wearing a towel...wearing a towel and cooking....wretched woman what as she up to with that one. Sevilin watched her in paranoid fashion for a moment. "Was this all really necessary?"

She played with Nym, teasing him and giving him little pieces of meat and veggies to eat while petting him gently on his little head and talkign to him. She found hersef doing that with the horses too, carrying on conversations with them. Though of course when she heard Sevilin screaming she rolled her eyes. Turning around and glaring at him, her hands on her hips and her foot tapping, she waited for him to finish before she smiled. "I'm sure I could make more of a mess if you really wanted me to..." She turned back and 'accidentally' knocked a bag of the ginger she'd minced so it poured on the floor. "Oh dear, looks like I'm making more of a mess. Clumsy me." Then a turn back to her stew, stirring it before picking up the spoon and tasting it. She was in a much better mood now that she was clean. "Yes, actually it was. I'm hungry and you need food after a battle like that. So I'm making dinner. It will be ready shortly." Then she turned back to her stew once again.

Oh look who was out of the shower and clean. Though pissy. But Nym chittered happily...Sevilin was always pissy when he was hurting though. And after getting crushed by a jeherge he would imagine his partner in crime was quite on the sore side. He knew he was, his little head still hurt. Chitter.
But he was having a good old time, handouts and what not, and a playmate. Yeah he was happy. Now if he only had a nice warm sock too. Yeah...that would just make his day wouldn't it? Socks were good, like food and round things.
He was about to tirade again...then thought better of it. He didn't have the energy for a fight. He was hurting and his mental capacity to argue was just too low. But he did cross his arms and shook his head. "Just clean up...and put some clothes on for Lloth's sake...I thought you weren't a whore? So why parade around like one." Ha, that was a good shot. But an indignant snicker from him as he turned...he needed to go heal up some...insides felt like mush. "Well...make sure you eat it all...no sense to waste it."
Another turn from him heading to his trainging room. Basically a bare room with a circle carved into the floor, and another inside of that. Then and eight pointed star of chaos inside of that, and another ring inside of the star, various runes in the bordered edge of the double outer circles, and in the angles of the star. Sevilin merely went to it's center and scribed out the all to familiar rune that was on Nym's head before sitting down in the center of the thing as it took that soft glow. Yeah he'd sit here for a bit and let it do it's work.

Was he really that stupid, she wondered or simply putting on a show for her benefit. She stoked the fire to keep it bubbling and stirred her stew again, then lifted Nym into her arms, bringing along a piece of meat or two to keep him happy and followed Sevilin. A glance around the training room, though if asked she would have said meditation. She watched him curiously for a moment, opening her mouth to ask a question but thought better of it and simply cuddled Nym and just watching. She was leaning against a wall, still wrapped in that towel but she kept an ear out for the hissing or glugging sound that would mean her stew had bubbled over.

Oh hey where we go- oh nevermind, food. That was gnawed on all too happily. Little carnivore was loving this all too much, food and cuddles? He'd take it. So he merely contented himself in her hold, snacking while little claws held to her towel for support, much like a child would.
Though a chitter at Sevilin. You're really hurt aren't you buddy? Good thing you can take a beating so well or you'd probably be dead. Felt like a horse stomped me when you got hit, I didn't like it at all. Chitter.
Yes he was sitting there cross legged and eyes closed, elbows resting on his knees. Could very well be called meditation, he called it concentration and one eye opened at that feeling of 'I'm being watched' popped up. A look that dissolved into a frown and a slight shaking of his head. "What?"
Yes what could she possibly want now? Playing annoyance or playing Malik's little spy. There was a possibility. After all, it could all be an act. Malik and Zahara could be the ones together, Piper was there for show to throw everyone off. That was a rich thought now wasn't it? But made him all the more paranoid.

Zahara sighed long sufferingly and shook her head. "I really am beginning to think you have a very short memory. How awful for you." She didn't move an inch, merely kept petting at his ferret and nuzzling him every once in a while then rolled her eyes. "Sevilin, did you listen to anything Malik said earlier?" A moment's pause and she rolled her eyes again. "I'll take that as a no..." A small shake of her head. "Malik said the whole reason I was to come with you was to learn how to heal the runemage way. And isn't that what you're doing? Healing? I dind't even heal myself so I could learn...wel not all the way." Her really bad wounds she'd healed because those hurt like a b***h and she hadn't wanted to feel that pain anymore. She sat down cross legged in front of him, making sure the towel hid her charms and gestured. "so Master, teach me."

He frowned. "For your information, the moment I got off that horse I turned deaf ears to you all. I had nothing more to do with you all and thus no need to listen to you." The truth was a simple thing was it not. Though one of those snickers of his.
"Learn to heal the runemage way? But how can you, you're not a rune mage at all...how can you accomplish something when you can't even begin to fathom being something. You're a priestess you have your own methods, mine are just as simple. And of no use to a man who can't do them himself so why care of Malik?"
Though he had the feeling that if he didn't at least explain, she would b***h. He couldn't hadnle that right now. So an exasperated sigh. "The basic of the basics. A runic activation circle, an applied rune. One can more or less sit in one, come in contact with the energies and more or less saturate and absorb." She would be feeling it too...like a certain feeling of something creeping into her skin and swimming through her veins and in her body, though not unpleasantly so. "Runes are simple and complicated at the same time." And you're sucking off my healing, gee thanks. How many times would he have to say it, one didn't become a rune mage overnight or in a few day time.

"I'm just trying to do what I was told to do." she said shrugging. The simplicity of it all caused her to take a step back and consider. Wow, his healing was extremely simple and now that she thougth about there was a strange current like feeling rushing through her body and those little wounds she'd left were closing and healing just like if she'd done it herself. "Well, now I've learned haven't I? I'll just leave you alone then, you need all the healing energies you can get. Dinner will be ready in about a half hour if you're hungry. I think you should eat, after all that battle drained you." And then she left, back to her stew stirring as though she'd never left. She pet at Nym and fed him a bit more. "He's quite testy isn't he?"

And he stared, stared at the wall that had been behind her as she left. What now? What was with the being nice thing and saying that dinner would be ready? Let alone seemingly concern. That was quite the turn around...or an all too elaborate plan to lure him into a false sense of security so she could do Lloth knew what. Paranoia....
But he'd just sit there a bit longer, letting cracked ribs and bruised things heal, fractures from being crushed and what not. That nose bleed of his was clearing up too. He'd still feel a little residual pain but it wouldn't be as bad as it could of been.
Chitter, nuzzle, snack. He was so enjoying this. Sev? He's always like that when he doesn't feel well. Quite understandable really. And he leapt from her arms to the counter, sniffing at the stew she was making, yet being smart enough to not touch the pot or try to go swimming in it.
A c**k of his head. That's a lot of food, are you really going to eat all of that ? Where are you gonna fit it all? Huh? You know...I can help you with it if you need me to. Chitter.

She loved the feel of the soft fur on her skin and nuzzled him back a few times just to get the feel of it again. Her hands competently stirred the pot and allowed each of the veggies and meat to stew and become soft before she finally ladled it out into a bowl and poured herself a glass of milk. Glancing around the kitchen she saw what Sevilin had been so upset about. Indeed his kitchen was a disaster zone, but then that's how she cooked. She wasn't worried about spilling and things like that and she always cleaned it up. But for now, she was going to eat and not worry about the mess. So she blew softly to cool it down and took a small bite, chewing and analyzing it. IT wans't as good as what she'd done before but she'd done pretty well with what she had. She picked out a piece of meat and fed it to Nym. "What do you think fuzzball?" she asked affectionately.
