"Well, not so much un in the banter as it is fun in the looking him in the eyes and taking his own words to task. I swear if I get called a pet one more time I'm goign to start hitting people for it." She crossed her arms in that 'I'm serious' gesture before leaning against Malik and stealing his orange slice from him. "If you think I'm taking on your bet, you're crazy. I know better than to bet against you on anything. You too easily get your own way sometimes." But an affectionate nuzzle at him. "Though I just hope no grand explosion occurs...I really don't have the tolerance for another all out fight between drow."

Every emotion on the face of the Underdark was rolling through her at this moment and she couldn't bring herself to look at Sevilin. She might attack him and then she might kiss him and she really couldn't handle doing either right now. It was just too much to handle, his skin touching hers had about driven her over the edge. She shifted uncomfortably when he came in, watching him without being obvious that that's what she was doing. She loved the way he moved, he was a big man but he moved with the grace of a jungle predator. There was not a single doubt in her mind that he could easily sneak up on her. Quiet footsteps easily proved that and she licked her lips nervously wishing she could find some equilibrium. Anger erupted at Malik and desire for Sevilin were combining to cause her a great deal of discomfort. Ebony fingers idly played with the collar around her neck as she flipped through the book. She'd be damned if she'd be the first to break that tentative silence.

Okay so Malik was right, he was afraid....sure he'd never admit that...but he also couldn't help himself. For almost five hundred years he had been put through the paces of a Llothian drow male's life. And it was torture and unpleasing every second. He was one of the few who had gotten a taste of life outside the Llotian box, only to have it ripped from him time and time again. One could say he was a glutton for punishment, how he would do it over and over again.
But one, over time, grows cold to everyday things. Learns to go through the paces and just get on with life. Sevilin had long ago reached that point and even outside of Llothian society, he regarded life with the same attitude, let it come as it may and deal with it when it does. Though this little turn of events was hardly life idly passing by him. This was more than breaking the chain of normal events.
Idly one hand petted at Nym was the other was idly drawing runes on the paper in front of him, though they seemed always half done, what with his little mind wandering on so many things. Yes he was scared of her...of her dragging him back to a life he had for years been trying to break out of and just now gaining his freedom. THough she proclaimed more than once before that she wasn't like the normal Llotian drow. She was an odd one indeed and maybe that was the quality that aided Malik's little plans...after all, difference bred curiosity.

Malik only snickered and picked up a slice of dried banana, and popped it in his mouth, and another servant brought Malvolence to him, sheathed and he laid his hand on it, giving a pinprick to both the minds of the other drow, just feeding into thier mutal desire to look at, kiss, ravage eachother. Then he waved the servant away to put Malvolence back where it was.
And then a grin to Piper, and a kiss, before feedign her a grape and getting himself another orange slice.
"I think it might be fun..depending on teh type of explosion."

Zahara sighed softly and wished that she knew what to do with the way she was feeling. He wasn't going to say anything, so she was going to have to. Dammit. Seemed like she never stuck to what she told herself she was going to anymore. She finally slapped her palms down on the table, growled in frustration and stood up stalking down to his end of the table. Mindful of Malik most likely leaning and trying to listen to every word they would say, she wrapped her hands around his arm and tugged, "Come with me!" It would be almost impossible for her to budge him without his allowing it but she had to confront him on some of this or she was going to go insane. "Please...?" she added under her breath. Racking her brain for somewhere to go. she couldn't pass through the living room and she certainly couldn't' take him upstairs, outside would have to do. She tugged again, trying to get him to stand up. "Just indulge me..." She would not think about how warm and firm his arm was beneath her hands and how it took two of them to wrap completely around his. Nor would she think about those strong arms locked behind her back the way they had been moments earlier.

Oh the distasteful look that was given to the blade that had been brought to Malik and then taken away just as quickly. Damn damn damn blade. she would always hate it and a sigh was given at it, hell she knew what he was doing with that thing. Though it seemed he was adamant to spoil her in light of his little transgression. "I'd say any is bad. With your luck they'd band together and then try to take you out for messing with them. Ever think of that in your little scheming?" Another sip of her wine, resting her head on his chest.
He looked up when her palms had hit the wood and dare he say had actually braced himself in his chair when she had started walking down his way. But red eyes drifted down to look at where her hands had hold of his arm and were tugging. Though after her initial demand she seemed to sink more into a desperate begging tone. "Heh, do you think me foolish?" Be mean, that's right. If you were mean you wouldn't want her...right?
Needless the say the commans didn't please him at all. "Where?" Because if it was anywhere near a bedroom or any place that could easily be used for support for that matter, he wasn't budging anywhere. And they both knew that if he didn't want to go anywhere she couldn't really make him.

"Actually, yes I have. and very simple. Feed Sevilin to Tarathiel's sister, and I can handle Zahara. or if worse comes to worse, throw his a** back to Andal, and let him stay there and I'll deal with Zahara in my own way."
Which probably ment a collar and a broken neck. or a breaker room.
"But we'll see what we'll see."

She rolled her eyes, why did he have to be difficult, her hands hit her hips and she glared at him. She'd said please for Lloth's sake. She took a deep breath, allowing the air to puff out her chest before it left her body slowly, "Just come outside. I'm not going to attack you...I just want to talk." She ran agitated fingers through her hair and shook her head. "Well you can come or not, the choice is yours. We both know that I can't make you and I'd really hate for you to go and blame things on me." And she turned and started walking towards that door that led to the back. She could distract herself with horses if it got to be too much of a temptation. She finally stepped out into the cool Underdark and walked over to the fields where the Zephmares were lounging about, nibbling and playing around.

Punch in the arm for Malik. There he was again, stepping on her toes. She knew the first actions taken against Zahara would be a yank on that collar...she thought she had made it perfectly clear the last time that he was to leave the woman alone. Or would Piper have to taken even bolder measures to get that point across. When she wanted to be, seh could be quite vicious in things...though she was also creative to...which was a scary thought if she decided to impliment the thoughts in her head. Though he could do to Sevilin whatever the hell he wanted. So she tended to her wine a moment. "Indeed we will won't we? Till then I'm sure there's more than enough to entertain us now isn't there?" She had her own ideas brewing in her head that involved a certain metal and its ability to contract and expand on command.
His eyes followed her hands, which lead to her hips and caused his staring before he realized her was and looked up to her from where he was seated. He snickered to shake off the unease. "Attack me...I think I already had proven to you that I can best you...no worried from me on that." Bluffing was fun wasn't it? But as she left he tapped his fingers on the table, looking to Nym. "Shall we tempt what we shouldn't...at the very least it gets us away from Malik."
Letting the ferret take perch on his shoulder he stood and followed out the way Zahara had left, merely following in her path before he deemed he was well close enough. "Well then, what do you want to talk about?" Please be something distracting and not on the horrible matter that was going on.

She was standing there rather quietly brooding off into the Underdark. There were a million things she had to talk to him about but where to begin? Her eyes followed the Zephmares for a moment who hadn't realized she was there yet or were just ignoring her. At this point it was just fine with her since she had other things to be concerned with. She knew the moment he came up close to her, the fine hairs on the back of her neck rising and her heart began beating faster. His rich liquid voice filled her for a moment like cool water to quench her thirst. She shifted her toes in the dirt and then sighed, "Do you believe in love, Sevilin?" she asked softly. As soon as the question was out, she regretted it. that hadn't been what she was meaning to say, where had that come from? But she knew. Piper's words kept coming back in her mind. But now he'd just be like all the other drow and scoff it off, perhaps even treat her with contempt....which really wouldn't be any different than the way he treated her now, so what did it matter?

Sevilin let his head tilt to the side out of sheer bogglement. She asked what not? Well that was a funny question now wasn't it? Hm...now how to answer that one? Sevilin, ever the logical elf, took normal approach on the subject and asked logically as such, "Doesn't one believe what they see? Seen love? In the embodiement of two others, yes I have seen it and thus must have to believe in it don't I?"
Of course he kept it in the terms that didn't apply to himself or anything to do with himself...or her for that matter with her odd little questions on random subjects. "Any other random questions you wish to ask?" Now Sevilin why the hell did you have to say that....now you'd have to listen to her voice. But you said it because you wanted to hear it didn't you? Damn you elf, keep your head in the game and stop letting your mind wander.

His answer surprised her probably about as much as her question had him. She turned to look at him shocked for a moment and then she shook her head. "I don't know if I do or not. I thought I did..." Her toes dug in deeper between the dirt and she loved the feel of it on her bare feet. "Now I'm not so sure." She shook her head briefly and then stepped a bit closer and clenched her fists. "I've got to get her away from him. I need your help. I know you don't like her and you don't like me...but you're a hell of a lot stronger than me, not to mention you'd be a lot more likely to win in a fight against him than I." Her concern was only for Piper, after all, Malik was scratched to hell and Piper had to be delusional. "I just want to hurt him!" she said angrily. "Just beat him bloody for what he's done."

"I don't know!" she burst out agitatedly. Of course he wouldn't understand, he didn't know why she felt the way she did and she wasn't' about to tell him. That was her own secret, no one ever needed to know that, no one. But it shouldn't' surprise her he'd much rather leave Piper right where she was. The suggestion had no merit with Zahara however who couldn't' stand to see anyone treated like that. It just didn't wash with Piper's talk of that elusive emotion of love. "That's not entirely true, I do know why, I just choose not to tell you. For one thing she's my friend and I....care about what happens to her. Yes, Sevilin, I care about a surface elf, I never thought I'd say that but I've changed so much since leaving home..." She shook her head, "Then I can't count on your help?" That was fine, she'd find a way to get Piper away from that monster even if it came down to murdering him.

"Since when did drow have friends? Let me tell you this from experience...surface elves are no good back stabbers. They'll betray you when it really counts. All they care about are themselves. DO you think she'd come help you if you need it? Hm? What if she had to choose between you and Malik? Who do you think would win? Or what if she turned away from you when you needed her most? Counted on her to stand with you?"
Said all with a sneer before he scoffed and crossed his arms. "I'm involved with Malik as much as I care to be...I don't wish to make him more of an enemy when he doens't have to be. Besides...what would helping you gain me? Lack of having to take guff from Malik? He currently funds my lifestyle, I'm more than pleased to stay in my current lot."
"You're young...learn this now. Pick your battles wisely. Besides...what makes you think you can break her from her own thinking?"
