A look back to Malik. "Yes we both know that all too well don't we?" He knew Malik was pushing. And he knew how long her wold tolerate things...mostly only tolerated Malik because he was boss right now.
"But enough imposing of me, you'll be seeing more of me than you can possibly tolerate anyway now won't you? And I'm not one for company I'm afraid. I prefer the solitary life." Way too much interaction for his liking in his life. A nod to each of them in turn. "D'Vinns, Val'Ril."
That said and taking his pay he walked out the room. Damn it....he had to play teacher to some arrogant wench with no means of her own self control even. Oh well...it would be fun to watch her when she hurt herself because she didn't listen.
Piper only sighed and uncrossed her arms, the tapping her boot had been doing coming to a stop. Well good, he was gone...till tomorrow...which she started to make plans in her head to make sure she avoided him. Secretly she wanted Zahara out of the house. Why? Those damn instincts and thier potiental. Sure...Malik would never take to the drow but hte point was possibilties. Though her mood was turned on Malik with Sevilin's departure. "Business my a**. You're not going to be doing anything for a few days."

Her eyes flashed dangerously when he used that damnable nickname. Standing there just outside the kitchen, she glared at him. "I'll be up don't you worry about that." She shook her head and moved past him, slamming into him lightly as she walked past. Spinning around she shook her head, "If you have a death wish, call me that name again." And then she muttered a few things under her breath and using that sensual sway of her hips, headed upstairs. Once in her room she chucked her bag against the wall and really wished she could scream. By Lloth she hated him! Hated him more than she could even begin to describe and now she had to work with him, he got to lord his abilities over her and that was even worse. Her hands ran through her hair and she flopped on the bed, thinking about different thigns before she finally slipped into reverie. Sevilin wasn't playing, he was goign to be back early and she needed the reverie to be able to handle it.

He was fussy and stubborn as a human five year old sometimes. She tought that sometimes, Malik's pride was a bad thing. But then again it could help. No matter. Piper had eventually herded and helped the Tier'dal upstairs to there room. Damn straight no business for him. Which she made a point of him not starting by practically guard dogging him until he slipped into reverie, before allowing herself to slip into a very light one. Easy enough to come out of should she think he trying to push himself, get up and do things. He was going to be waited on hand and foot damn it and he wasn't going to complain. He got up when she deemed he could.
Dark and early indeed. Even by surface standards it was before dawn, night creatures were still about and the only real movement was a lone elf who was traversing the path he knew so well to the fortress that held both his bosses and his...charge...Nym wasn't even asleep, lying on Sev's shoulder with a sock that he was hugging to in his paws. That thing and socks...at least he preferred clean ones.
But soon enough he was there and inside, watching the slaves that were already up and about, cleaning and preparing breakfast and what not. Well hopefully he could avoid the Tier'dal and his surface trash all together. He couldn't stand that little pale skinned wench. But what was this? No Zahara up and about? Well fine then, he'd go find her.
Easy to do so, since she had a rune on her head and he worked his way into her room, standing at the foot of her bed and staring at her a moment with arms crossed. "Zahara." She'd get one wake up call chance.

She was lost in reverie. Of course she'd just tossed off her clothes the night before, sleeping nude as was her habit since it was so much easier than being bound in clothes. The blankets rested just under her chin and she had one hand visible right near the pillow the other curled over her stomach. Her hair was splayed out on the pillow behind her and every once in a while she would shift slightly or murmur softly. She had no idea that Sevilin was there and when her name being called broke through the fuzziness of reverie she made a noise and dind't move.

Okay chance given. Walking closer to the bed he reached under the sheets...and grabbed her ankle, yanking harshly. Which in turn meant tugging her out from under the covers and landing her on the floor with a thud. What? He was a man of his promises, didn't want to break them.
Though a bemused look as he stood there, fisted hands resting on top of his hits with elbows out, heald slightly tilted, looking down at her. Yeah, that's where she needed to be. Bare of clothing and on the floor at a man's feet. Serves her right to be there. "It's dark thirty in the morning you're supposed to be up."

She felt a hand close over her ankle and she reached for the dagger ever present under her pillow. Closing her fingers over the handle just as she was rudely jerked out of bed she hit the floor and winced then slightly startled and not quite with it held that dagger at the first thing she saw, of course it happened to be his knees. She blinked once or twice and felt teh cold stone floor sink through her skin and chill her to teh bone. A moment later she jumped up glaring at him. "What the hell are you doing here?! Get out of my room, you b*****d!" Suddenly realizeing she was completley devoid of clothing she snatched a robe and pulled it on belting it.

He was as amused as ever. "What am I doing here? You've got class this morning. What happened to you saying you'd be up a ready at that time? Hm?" Though he wouldn't admit now that she was coherent and fully aware...the thought of her not wearing anything under that robe was unsettling to him. Drow women...they could keep thier clothes nailed to their bodies in his opinion.
"No need for name calling, you're the one not up. I'll just be downstairs then, getting me some breakfast. Hurry your skinny a** up." A dismisive wave of his hand to keep his own composure before heading out the room and downstairs to the kitchen to grab him some free food.

She glared at him for a moment adn shook her head, muttering things under her breath about irritating Drow men and wishing she could just slit his throat. That dagger got tossed against the wall and calttered to the floor and she dropped the robe and rooted around searching for some clothes. She came across her old Llothian clothes and smirked evilly. He wanted to play games, fine. Purple and red leather was easily slipped on, that pendant right where it belonged, her gloves on her arms. She pushed a hand through her hair and found her clip then pulled on her boots and headed downstairs to get soem breakfast. "There I'm up at this god forsaken hour. Happy?" Grumbling she said, "Even Lloth isn't up this early and she likes to start her cruelty dark and early too." she muttered.

Malik was not a happy camper. Bedridden. of all the things to be, bedridden was the worst. made him feel weak and useless. but after Piper had actually smacked him one for complaining about it overly much, he just kept quiet and fumed inside his head. Arms crossed, glaring into space. He was used to being waited on, that wasn't new, it was just that someone had resricted his ability to do anything else.
After all, there are some things that you just do not want slaves tinkering with. like magical objects, or dealing with certain other slaves that may become violent if something was worded wrong. Like Broog, and possibly Tremor. Not to mention he was usually keeping a close tab on the Necro's and thier experiments.

He looked her up and down a moment. Llothian priestess garb? What was that about? Trying to psyche him out or something. He frowned as he was finishing off his breakfast, leaning against the counter on his hip. Well that wasn't going to unsettle him. Her and her b***h of a goddess could go drown in a river and be eaten by something or other for all he cared.
"Complain, complain, complain. Is that all you open your mouth to do? But yes, I am happy that I dragged you out of bed only to put your through hours of horrid training." But by training...he was meanign studyign. Intensely. She had to know what she was working with now didn't she? Studyign was horrible in his opinion...too easy to mix your symbols up. "How about you shut up and eat up?"
Hm well...she had had her victory now hadn't she? It was a good feeling but not at the same time. She knew Malik was upset, hell she could feel it through thier bond that he was seeting. Wouldn't surprise her at all if he was thinking of horrible things that should be done to her for putting him in his place. But she had had enough of it. If he wanted to heal the long hard way well then he'd have to play by the rules. So said the fiance'. Though he gained her attention again with is glaring and brooding. "It is not that bad...really you're turning this into something that's blown out of proportion. You can do paperwork if you wish but you're not getting up." Tough luck for him. Hm, she was actually whole heartedly fighting him on somethign this time wasn't she?

She smirked at his perusal and shrugged, "My other clothes aren't dry yet," was all she said by way of answer. She plopped in a seat and walked into the kitchen to get her breakfast, seasoning it with a few different things and mixing some others in it before coming back out and sitting down. "You do a fair bit of it yourself." She started eating and then shrugged, "Can't be any worse than it was trainign to be a priestess and that was pure hell." She fully believed that she could handle whatever her threw at her. "Two hours and then I"m free. I'm not training overtime."

"Sure they weren't. And you complain over nothing, I complain over practical matters, see the difference?" Oh yes, in that condescending talking to a child voice. Though one of those almost evil smirks that drow were so keen on and so well known for.
"Two hours of hell that won't compare to Llothian training. After all...that's mostly mental and mostly conditioning the body to withstand the forces of self and forces of others." He wasn't ignorant to the work and ways of the Llothian priestess after all. "There are many types of hell, you'll find mine to be most aggrivating."

She growled low under her breath but took her sweet tiem finishing her breakfast and the whole time she was cursing every male that had ever walked on this plane in her mind. Slaughtering them all and taking perverse pleasure in doing exactly that. She shouldn't let him get to her, gave him an advantage but he did and that bothered her. She shrugged, "I can handle it. I've never come across anything I haven't been able to handle and if I have at first then I learned how to." It was said soflty, telling him that it didn't matter what he did she wasn't quitting, she wasnt' giving up. Her breakfast finished amoment later she smirked at him, "Bring it on."

"Well good for you." Seeing her finish her breakfast he left the room a moment and came back with four books...that were about three inches each of rather thin pages. They were plunked down on the table next to her empty plate. A hand patted the books and he grinned at her in that irritating way.
"This is how we...or rather you start. I do hope you like to read and have at least a partial photographic memory. It would help a lot. Because I expet you to memorize this all. " The content of the tomes? Just the first basic symbols and multiple manipulations of each in rune magery. All on various subejcts, healing, defense, offense, and what not. Ah yes the grueling process of digesting before playing. He had hated it.
"I suggest not speeding through...you'll be tested after all." And he nonchalantly plopped in the seat down the table opposite of her, with a piece of paper and a piece of charcoal. Yes, he still practiced too.

She stared at the books for a moment and closed her eyes in disgust. She wasn't going to be doing hands on things? Are you serious? TFour of them...he expected her to memorize all these damn books? Was he out of his freaking mind. She sighed, "Joy..." She grabbed one and flipped it open halfheartedly glancing at the symbols, and shook her head. "I'm spending two hours every day studying squiggles. What has this world come to?"
