Well. He knew about Zahara through Malvolence..well that would make sure she wasn't getting any right now. she'd just throw it up. But that still left Sevilin. So downstairs, with the vial that was marked for Zahara's hair, and into aglass it went with regular old elvish wine. the stuff was tasteless, and odorless. good thing very few if any outside the devotees to Erollisi Marr knew how to make it. course..killing said devotees had procudred the book with the formula in it.
And a glass for himself, walking back over to Sevilin and handing him his.
"Thought you coudl use a drink. I take it you let Zahara off the hook for now and plan to make it up on another day?"

He had been once again shooing Nym from his little pile of scribblings on paper. Of course the ferret seemed to loose interest in his bugging when Malik came down and took usual perch on Sevilin's shoulder. Yeah, he knew Nym didn't like anybody else too much.
"I don't have the tolerance to handle another tantrum of hers, frankly. Not to mention she's baseline asinine right now with a nice dose of b***h." Yeah he was quite aware of her little...problem. He'd seen it enough to know it and he didn't care to be subjected to it. Especially if he was the target of her anger and perhaps....worse...things.
Though a look at the glass before taking it from Malik. Normally he would be more paranoid and suspicious, but he really didn't have it in him right now. Who knows, maybe it would help. After all his stomach had long since finished revolting on him. Thus he took to idly drinking with one hand, other hand still scribbling various combinations he was figuring in his head. He barely even looked at the paper. "I'll just confiscate her for a whole day and make her study from dark up to dark down." A look around a moment, what no surface elf tag along? Oh good, he might want to hurt it.

"Good luck on that one. You seem to be doing a little study of your own. what's the subject of inquiry?"
Malik did have his own interesting in magic. but he was a perfectionist. he didn't start those kinds of studies unless he knew damned well he'd have the time to master them. But go one Sevilin, enjoy your drink. if things went like they were supposed to, you'd be feeling desires for Zahara you never thought you'd feel. Give the same to Zahara, and then if it works as planned, just sit back and watch the fireworks for the next few days or so. the aftermath...well that would just have some great humor value, wouldn't it.

"You'd be surprised at my ability to make someone do something." Not to mention if he runed you in place. Not only was it funny as hell to him, but frustrated and had other negative feelings on the target. But the important part was that it was funny.
Though that slightly suspicious look to Malik as he was asked what pray tell he was doing. "Runes are wonderful in that aspect that you can break the integral structure apart and still retain the affect while being able to combine it with another broken integral part. Half the runes a mage uses are not found in books. Call them special customizations if you will."
Indeed, though not a trick for the beginners at all. Thus why there were study materials on the art itself...but one would probably not that Sevilin's own usage highly differed from text book basics. "But if you must know, I'm looking to try and get a combination to deaden reverie." Lay men's? Trying to induce a 'black out' reverie where the mind rested itself without those pesky memories that came with the trance of reverie.
This was still rediculous...being hesitant to go down to the lower levels of her own place. Not scared, mind you. But probably something close to it, skittish and reluctant if anything. Then again she had reason to be that way didn't she? For down here was where Malik kept all of his little unsavory things and things that she would rather not expose herself too. Hm...needed a door with a nice secure lock on it to these levels. But there she was, slowly making her way down by herself and keeping her cool about it, a hand kept on a wall to steady herself. Seemed it was time that she went and saw Broog and truly found out about what exactly was around her neck. With age, came curiosity it seemed.

"Interesting. But I would think that the horrors of past memories would serve as the greatest reminders of why not to allow something. deadening those reveries may eventually cause you to repeat history, as it were."
A lean back though, drinking from his glass.
"Though, considering your condition, I take it that was a particularly nightmarish time that you woudl rather not ever live again."
From the corridors was of course all the makings of sound for horror. chanting in strange tongues, the groans of the undead golems and pets coming to life or working in teh necromancer labs, the sounds of breakers and thier victims being reducated. but of course the other sounds of metal on metal, being hammered into instruments, and the most amusing sound of an Ogre trying to both hum the tune and sing a song from Aurahkah's plane, some country song 'Allison Miranda'

"History can not be repeated if one removes themselves from the conditions that made that history happen in the first place as well as takes precautions to keep from replicating it in some manner." Though he had seemed to give an indifferent shrug to the statement on both thier parts, as if it really didn't matter.
"Don't we all see times we'd rather not? Every elf, has a secret or a piece of darkness to their minds. Whether it be born and cultivated from and by them, or they were merely a pawn to Destiny and Fate. Unavoidable really." Justification was a nice thing wasn't it? "Though it's not the memories themselves that bother me...it's the muddles differences." The feelings there that shouldn't be.
Sometimes she wished her hearing wasn't so sharp and part of her was greatful to herself that she had tied her ears back today, meaning they were covered and sound had to filter through cloth first. Though with keen hearing it did little to deaden and mute sounds she would rather never hear. Yeah if she had children, she wouldn't be letting them down here at all. Maybe two doors... Of course sounds of horror with an overlying sound of song...oh this was an oxymoron of an enviroment. Eventually her feet led her to where she wanted to be, and she poked her head around the door. "Broog? Do you have a moment to spare?"

"That I know well enough."
That was all Malik was going to say on that. there were reveries of his he'd rather not relive. not because of what he did. but because of why he did it. Though a slight grin at the ferret. everything going according to plan. a tap on malvolence at his side.
Your payment is in my room, under the bed. grab it before you leave.
"Ah useded ta tink da night wers for da deemers and tives..boot dat was befer shaw caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam...und alyson mireanda, wast herd name.."
Back to humming before Piper poked her head in. Broog was working on jewelry, necklaces and rings and earrings. but he gave her his big toothy grin, and nodding vigorusly.
"Broogs always gots da spares fer da mistrez"

"Then we're in agreement on the subject." After all they were both old enough to exactly know the extent of horrors one could possibly face, regardless if they had personally experience said things or not. Though his attention deviated slightly as Nym had crawled down his arm and to the floor, scurrying away. A raised eyebrow...he'd been buzzing around all day hadn't he?
But a drink from his glass as he studied his papers for a moment. Then a look to Malik. "Do tell, how long do you honestly intend to put her through these paces?"
Well...wan't that cute...him and his sort semi humming semi singing thing going on here. He could be charming in his own way she supposed. Though she stepped around the corner and then leaned against the doorframe lightly, taking to picking at her nails to look distracted. But she gave Broog a smile. "Wonderful. You know, I was hoping you could answer a few questions about the collars. You know exactly how they work right?"

Malik chuckled.
"You're reffering to Zahara, I take it? As long as it amuses me. She needs to better herself, have some skill or ability that I don't have a plethora of already at my disposal. I have enough clerics. however, runing, and andalian runing, can give her some more value. IF your asking if I want her to become a master..no. But I want enough skill in here to be able to be of use. Tremor makes weapons and armor almost constantly to equip all my breakers and gladiatorial slaves, not to mention arrows as well. the undead he is making armor for as well, which is why he has to create such a large amount and variety. summoning the undead isn't a promise yu'll get the type of being you want. if she an learn to scribe weapons and armor that would be great. if she can use them to further enhance her healing, wonderful. but she will learn something of use, Piper's girlfriend or not."
Broog tilted his head, a little confused for a moment. he woudl assume she knew how they worked. she was the mistress after all. but a shrug and a nod.
"Mez knows hows dey works. mez hasta knows so mez makes dem rights."
Then a bit of a wide eyed feared look.
"Dez IZ all workings rights, yez? Nuttin wrongs with dems?"

Where Malik had just implied that Sevilin's prescnese was indeed not meant to be kept around too long, just until Malik had Zahara at a useful level....because they both probably knew him and Malik could give each other a run for thier money should they start crossing blades and magics alike. Where Malik could control Zahara to a point, he had little chance of any compliance from Sevilin. "Adopted her along with your other little one have you?"
"Oh, yes. Yes they're working perfectly fine as I hear it. And seen it for that matter." Right...now to remember. Specificness was key when dealing with Broog, as was deception. "Pop quiz time I would think it is. So then, tell me...how is it that they can react to leashes? I mean, what do you do to make them contract at the given command?" Gee, that was horribly direct wasn't it?

"More like Piper's adopted her, and I'll see to it she earns her keep in some form or another. Not to mention those damned imps call her 'star flower' and seem to hold her in some special reguard, like they do piper. they actually listen to those two. So she's at least good for something I suppose."
Though if things go to plan...she'll do more than just earn her keep. she'll earn you keeping here free of charge.
Broog gave a toothy grin, and then titleed his head in that confused manner. pop quiz? what was a pop quiz...oh, questions. test. okies.
"Da masterz finger wagglers makes da metal specials. It's a special finger wagglers, nots da neekrosses. Buts dey makes da metals specials, and dem broog makes da shineys, and leashies. Da leashies gots da magiks wordies insides, and dat makes dem works like dey suppoz toos."
nodding, and clapping his hands.
"Broogs gets it rights! Broog passadeds da poop quiz!"

"Imps listen to things they thing are nice to look at. Though they always tend to mess up what they deem that as well. Little creatures of parabox sometimes. Really." Of course, the pet had a pet. It was intersting to say the least. Though a chuckle. "Star flower...how amusing and so far from the truth..."
Echanted metal, in other words. That was just like Malik wasn't it. Explained why the collars didn't break either. Figured that it was that simple. "Oh." But she offered him a sweet smile and then nodded her head. "Yes, you did." He could be quite cute couldn't he? "Do you know where he learned of doing that to the metal?"

"So it seems. I foudn that name markedly off as well. she is certianly good looking..so I can understand the flower part. but a star. those are supposed to be brightly shining, radiant people. hardly Zahara."
Broog looked at her with a blank expression on his face for a bit, before shrugging his shoulders lightly.
"Mez dunnos that. But mez knows dat we hads dems finger wagglers backs a long times ago. befores da master went chasin da furries dat he was mads with."

Malik merely got a level, rather bored looking stare on his commenting about Zahara. He'd rather not admit any positives aspects about her at all, even if she was a good looking woman or anything along those lines. Why express any knowledge of interest at all, only to perhaps have it be kicked back and back fire on him. He was doing a good job of avoiding her, he wasn't going to have someone slow him down on the task.
"And not to mention...there are no stars at all in the Underdark...let alone abundant flowers either." A look at the contents of his glass a moment before he seemed to have a moment of thought and made a mark on his paper. "You seem quite the masochist to me Malik D'Vinn. Putting yourself through the pains of surface elves and female drow."
Well...he was only so informative to a point now wasn't he? Damn that she couldn't get what she wanted...unless she asked the source itself. Frankly she didn't want to approach Malik with the subject, they fought about collars enough and she didn't want him thinking she wanted out of her or something along those lines. "Well...do you know where the 'finger wagglers' came from...or what they were? Elves? Human? That sort of thing?"

Malik smirked lightly.
"Both I can handle. Piper and I get by fine. and as for Zahara..Piper lays claim on me, Zahara tries anything agasint me and Piper will put an arrow between her eyes. so worse comes to absolute worse, Piper and Zahara will handle eachother. I won't have to directly intervene unless I feel the need to."
Another stare. then a vigorous nodding and smile.
"Da finger waggler was da pretty elfs. da ones from da big white city. kooda..co-dar...high elfs. only ones doh. dat ones taughts da udder ones da metal magiks, den da masterz makes dat elfs no mores. da udders was wittle. Broogs coudl eats dem. dey dun know all da kooda dids, so theyz coodn't makes Broogs do stuffs Broogs din wanna. but dey coudln't makes da pretties flashies lightz edder."
