Ashlyn looked pleased at the idea. Follow Piper around? The Mistress who gives of free pets? The chance to pic human scrapes off the ground in a place where food is sold constantly...she'd think about it. ten seconds ago, she thought of it. And had decided. She bobbed her head in answer to Piper's question, sneered at Malik. She didn't drop cargo!
At Onyx though, she growled. What an insult! She was no bucking bronco! She took off over the floor, ready to snape off his tail...
Bode didn't understand what "breeding" meant, but she had a feeling it wasn't something she was supposed to know. The griffin, and animal she had been eyeing since they came in, suddenly charged at them, and she sqealed...for once not in delight.

"You like to maim them." Okay she just said that way too cheerfully. But what could she say, she was in a good mood. Though she did put a glance between Malik and Onyx. Like children, both of them to a point. Then a raised eyebrow at Onyx and she poked at his chest. "You have no idea how complicated us elves are when it comes to children. And he''s right, I am quite young really. Besides, you also haven''t a clue to the power of wanderlust in an elf." Though it was slightly amusing to watch those two pick at each other.

Malik watched the griffin charge forward, and really didn't seem to care. he was too busy listening to piper get on Onyx about her wanderlust. and good lord he knew that arguement. he'd fought tooth and nail about some of thier wandering around and never once got her to go home.
Onyx looked at the finger poking him, and snorted lightly.
"Elves. your as bad as Uncle Nelphean and his gaggle of kids and relatives.."
Then Bode squealed, not a happy squeal, and Griffin coming..Onyx bared fangs and flared wings, claws coming out and looking very fearsome, dnarling at the griffin.
"You back off, you overgrown chicken."
Now that got a chuckle out of Malik.
"This should be entertaining."

"...you be a female elf then come back and talk to me. Like I said, you have no idea." Though her attention turned over her shoulder, seeing as her attention was brought to Ashlyn. Piper didn''t look overly worried either. Though a slight frown. "She''s not a chicken..." Though she really just turned to watch Ashlyn. Piper had that feeling that one word from her and Ashlyn would quit whatever trouble she wanted to cause. After all, she passed out the pets then a smirk over at Onyx. "Then again you''re part bird and cat too, might not want to throw stones."

Ashlyn stopped in front of Onyx, not because he bared fangs and claws but because there was a child that she had no beef against. She hiss growled, and swiped. You want to say that again to my face? Oh man, she didn't like this guy.
Bode trembled, afraid of getting in the way of those claws..."I would like very much for the eagle cat to stop doing that...
Oh, just one more remark, come on you!

Ashlyn's hiss and swipe didn't impress Onyx any, and just for good measure, he smacked her beak with his claws. not with intent to gouge, that woudl be stupid to start a fight with the pet here, but to get the point across he wasn't afriad in the least.
"Back off you big turkey your scaring Bode."
Malik looked at Piper, and shook his head lightly.
"Is this some kind of feline thing? territorial markings or something? We've got jousting to attend to, Onyx. I would suggest not getting mangled by the older and battletested griffin."
And Malik gave a nod to Moonstone, and walked on past and out, heading to the Colloseum. he'd wager the king was not pleased at loosing the sword match, and was either very irrate or trying to increase the mystical augments to his guards. Too bad it wouldn't do any good...Malik was certain he coudl handle any human, magic or not.

oh...you ever heard of a blacklist fella? You're on it. She would have jumped the winged cat, child and all, had it not been for her Master leaving. She took it as almost a direct order to "get moving or be left behind" and she wasn't about to get left behind. She went to Piper, waiting for her to leave first so that Ashlyn could watch her back.
Bode just shook, not relaly saying anything. That eagle kitty was scarry!
Moon nodded back. "He's right. Come on Onyx, you still need to find a weapon," He pointed at the little girl "and inhance it a little." He started off after Malik,

Piper just sighed and shook her head, giving another scratch to Ashlyn, momentarily inspecting her beak...becuse that's what Piper did. Another scratch at feathers and she smiled at the creature. "Well then Ashlyn, let's go watch the men show off, shall we?" Pivoting on her heel she walked out after Moon and Malik, heading out the inn and to the coliseum, catching up to them quickly enough. Hm...she needed to get herself a tournament schedule...

Onyx snorted, and picked up Bode and followed the others, not overly thrilled with teh griffin right now, and otherwise just in a plain annoyed mood. But he was still not so annoyed that he didn't get Ironsides and let Bode drive.
"Lets giddy up and go, your driving, lil sis."
A grin and whisper in her ear.
"See if you can run over Malik while we're at it."
Malik was quick on the pace, glancing back hearing Piper and the griffin..before he went down into the arena area and let them find thier places in the stands. even early there was a good sized crowd, and Malik went to his stall, petting over Nightmare lightly and grinning. he got to watch the first round, automatic advancement to the second round. so that's what he did, moving ot one of the heavy gates and was going to watch, as they set up the jousting dividers and the like.

She was greatful for the scratches, but there was no need to check her beak. She was a hardy, hard skinned, thick beaked griffin. It would take more then that to get at her, ha! Laughable. she followed Piper wherever the girl might travel.
Moonstone looked back at Piper. "I aught to be with you most of the day, if nothing else comes up I think. I don't have anytihng until later this evening. And after that Onyx should be with you. And Bode of Course, though she probably won't want to elave her seat."
As children do, she toke everything that was said in jest very seriously, and everything that was said seriously to be jest. That being the case, she gave a little shrug and..."Iah, TAH!" The lizard set off at a dead run, and she followed after malik...into the stables...trying to run him over...

As Malik went off she frowned slightly. What? No ''Goodbye, make sure to hit your stalker if he comes near?'' Boy was that man focused then. But Piper looked to Moon as he spoke and dropped into stride with him. He got a smile and a nod from her. "Good, maybe you can keep the attentive Mr. Gale away from me. Not that he''s really a harm or anything...just unsettling in his own way to me." Another nod at that as if in confirmation of that. A look to Aslyn to make sure she was keeping up.

Malik heard the stampedeing of feet, and turned in time to see a big lizard being driven by Bode and a Onyx heading right for him. and he waited. waiting. last seconds..step to the side, and wham, elbow to Onyx's midsection which made him go backward and hit the ground.
"Nice try. get used to that feeling by the way. you're going to feel it again if you get past the first jousting round. Speaking of which..get your lance, woudl you. you might want to get one early so it's not a rusty hunk of junk leftover."
Malik looked at Bode, and the lizard.
"Faster than they look."
And that's all he said on the subject, going beack to show Nightmare more attention, and get his own lance set up and ready, and find a suitable armshield to use.
Onyx got the wind knocked out of him, and landed on his back..and got himself of shaking out his fur and the cobwebs.
"Damn that hurt. you weren't really supposed to try and run him over, lil sis."
A small chuckle, rubbing his stomach.
"But he's got a point, best get ourself somethign nice nad made of cold steel..and then if you want you and augment it for those cheatin guards."
And he chuckled lightly and helped Bode off the lizard, and patted her on the head, and grinned and scratched Ironsides around his head.
"Wanna help look, Bode?"

Moonstone smiled. "Oh, so I get to be intimidating do I?" He chuckled. "I am sure it won't be all that dificult, not with my size and uh...specices."
Yup, she was following. Just a pace of two behind, and being her usual grumpy self.
Bode looked at the ground, "oh..." now that she thought about it, it did kind of seem like a joke. But Onyx was all smiles when he lifted her out of the saddle, so she supposed it couldn't be that much of a big deal. "I get to help you pick out a lance? I know which ones are really good! Daddy taugh me last year!"
Onyx set her on the ground but she kept a hold of his hand, pulling him along to the lance rack. "Over here, the ones with the short heads on them! They pierce thicker armor better then the long pointy ones!"

Of course Piper headed up the stands, picking a rather unoccupied section. After all...look who her company was. Also things with wings needed wing space. "Not that I'm obligating you to do anything dear Moonstone, I mean I don't even want Malik doing anything about him. But you know how he thinks about that I'm sure." She shrugged lightly, raising a hand to brush back a few strands of hair from her face.

Onyx grinned and picked up one, holding it a bit and getting balance..then another..and another..and finally finding a cold steel one that had a weight to it that made use of his natural strength but not so heavy that it would strain to carry it for long periods of time.
"There we go. You think it's a good one?"
Malik's lance was long, and of course made of the mithril elves were proud of. long, light, but very, very tough. but he set it aside, and brushed down Nightmare, who was pawing at the ground.
"I know. but we're not going to compete in teh first round. we get a break to find out who knows what thier doing and who doesn't. Reminds you of home, doesn't it. of course those tournaments people didn't get to survive through most times. one reason not many participated."
