The house stood silently, it was clear that Ziven was not home since if she were, the door would have swung open the moment they got close. But as Yawgmoth predicted, she would return sooner or later.

"Thank you for taking the time to show me the way to Ziven's house. I can guarantee that she is not here presently. Feldspar and I will wait as long as it takes for her to return, just has she has done for us so many times." he said with a smile and small nod. "Indeed, Ziven is very fond of us, we are the closest thing to family she has ever known in life. Such a pity, she is such a passionate young woman, she deserves a happy family life." he said rather quietly, going silent for a moment. "Ahh well, I am confident she will get along in life no matter what life throws at her. Just as we all do, eh?" he said, how a rather broad grin on his lips.

Yawgmoth just shook his head at Brom's words. "You fail to realize a few things in your happy fantasy about how Ziven will end up. One of those things is us. We've ended so many fantasies by killing the people who 'deserved' such a life. We would be flat out lying to you if we said the thought of doing the same to Ziven had never crossed our mind. She has provoked us quite a few times." Yawgmoth said flatly with another shrug. "So, provided she learns not to taunt creatures clearly more powerful than she, we believe your fantasy dream for the woman may yet come true one day. She has brains, beauty, just needs to know when to back down less she be killed in some unsightly manner by someone like us."

"Ziven provoked you? Intentionally?" he aske,d in utter disbelief of such a thing. Crossing his arms again, his brow furrowed, concentrating and pondering what he said initially, simply nodding to the latter parts of what he said.

Yawgmoth smirked a little. "Quite intentionally. But don't get the wrong idea about her my good man. We probably started it, and we probably deserved it in the eyes of what is considered morally good around this place." Yawgmoth replied. "That explain things a little more?" he inquired.

"That .. sounds more like Ziven." he said with a bit of a grin, feeling better that he explained a bit. "She has always been .. ridiculously gentile to others, even if they treat her poorly. She would rather remove herself from an unfavorable situation rather than allow it to escalate to a fight." he said lost in thought but bobbed his head in thanks when asked if that explained more.

"Ridiculously gentle is a nice way of putting it. She's weak. Fragile like a glass figurine. We are sure someone of your brain power realizes how easy it would be to shatter her entire little world with the right words or actions. She stood up and provoked us to take the focus off of the others. Or rather take our focus onto her, martyr herself perhaps. But we did not kill her clearly." Yawgmoth responded leaning back against the house closing his eyes. This was going to be a boring wait. He was hoping she'd show up soon so he could see her reaction, make fun of her for it and then leave and go about his business.

Moving his head, his neck cracked several times. Still, he did not appreciate this guy's words very much, but he supposed it was ok still, hoping that Ziven would return shortly. "Indeed, she is not exactly made of steel .. but she deserves more credit than to be said she is made of glass. She is resilient, unlike glass." he said with a sage nod.

Yawgmoth nodded in slight agreement. "Resilient is a good choice of words. She has come face to face with us many times and still lives. If only you knew just who we were, you would appreciate that statement a little more." he said keeping his eyes closed and now crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned back. Hoping she'd show up soon. This conversation could turn very boring very quickly. Or perhaps violent if Brom prodded the wrong questions and found out what other things Yawgmoth had done to Ziven.

"We will know better when Ziven returns." he said with a grin. Taking a few steps toward the exterior of the house, he leaned against the wall. "I can see why Ziven likes this place."

Yawgmoth's left eye opened towards Brom for a second, then closed again. Given that Yawgmoth had been quite the p***k to him, that was an odd choice of words to use. "Really now? What makes you say that?" the curious Yawgmoth inquired.

"The trees, Mr Yawgmoth." he replied simply, looking to him with a plesant smile.

Yawgmoth grumbled without saying a word. Trees? What kind of hippie moron was this guy? Sure nature was nice and all but the trees? "If you say so" He replied shortly with an exasperated sigh.

Appearing just in front of her house, Ziven looked worn, tired, though she seemed unharmed. Eyes downcast, she took a few paces, toward her home before she realized there were people present. The best and woorst of all people stood on her stoop. Nearing them she bobbed her head to the pair before greeting them individually. First her master in the ancient language, then Yawgmoth. "Good evening. Having company is certainly a surprise. To what do I owe the honor?"

"We were just leading him here" Yawgmoth said opening his eyes with a frightful stare in her direction. The giant man stood up slowly keeping his arms crossed over his chest. "Plus we wanted to see the look on your face when you saw this man. You talked so much about him we figured you'd run him over like a school girl when you saw him. We assumed from your yammering you missed him." Yawgmoth replied with a simple shrug. As usual he was only involved in things for his amusement.
