"I suppose, in the respect, then it is good that we know who he is. I don't really feel like being mixed up in the whole mystery. I don't enjoy bnot knowing, second-guessing." He checked his schedual. "I tihnk Piper's archery is before mine. That mean's I can watch her before I get ready for my fight."
The nuzzle made her feel a bit better. "Make the scary things go away." She was talking of course, about her nightmares. "The scary things, and the hurting things." Her head hurt from keeping in the tears. A near death experiance and a true death experiance were not easily dealt with.

At least her mind was put a little at ease from Malik's affections. They were always a nice reminder that she wasn't alone to watch herself and even more so because he was actually being affectionate in public. And clearly, it was affection to bystanders. "I'd like to beat him over the head with it as well...but I don't want to break it." Though despite Terran's disappearance she didn't loosen the hold she had on Malik. Nope, as far as she was concerned she was walking on eggshells at the moment. "And I can take the heat after his, I don't care to shoot with him until I'm forced to from lack of competition." Piper nodded and then put a glance down to Malvolence. "I'll let you use it...just don't go all...you know on me."

"No curse concerns me. Most are just Rumors and old folk lore if we all listened to these 'Curses'... Well we would not be standing where we are would we?" he looked at the person infront of him thru his goggles keepnig his head low. Puling out some Trinkets and rings covered in dried blood and dirt. "The usual payment." he said. one of the fingers was still on the ring. "Couldnt get taht one to let go so youll just have to deal with it." Dreadmore put some stuff in a side bag and looked around to make sure he got everything.

"Yes I know, I won't become a sadistic violence craving typical drow."
Then a slight smile, and a glance at the archers, mostly searching for Terran..just so he would know where that one was.
"I'd prefer that too. to not bother with him until you don't have an option. but if he's probing for information like you said..then there's got to be someone he's getting it for, and that's another thing I want to find out."
Onyx hugged her a bit, and kept the pace with Moonstone, nuzzling Bode some more.
"There are something I can't fight, not without some help. you have to tell me what's wrong, for me to help you get rid of them. and don't forget that crying isn't a bad thing. it's a good thing."
Then a nod at Moonstone.
"Then lets watch Piper kick some a**, and then we'll head over to watch your little event, and then mostly likely mine nad malik's will be starting."

"Well good, because I don't have the will today to drag you down to the dirt and bring you back to your senses...besides, you've been through enough lately." But she sighed, shaking her head lightly before running her hand through red and silver hair. "Just what we need...more who want to take us out or something more sinister. We've got to stop meeting these type of people and the like." Her gaze followed his, but then turned to the range...which Terran was already on a spot, dead center. Of course. One heat, three shots yo get you into top four...Piper had no doubt he would be placing first in his own, second if he wanted to give false pretenses.

She chuckled a bit. "Depends on how you look at curses. Some of us are living curses, you might say." She smiled, not looking at the man, her white glazed eyes passing over his head. Tanundra tapped her elbow.
"My freind here is curious as to your eyewear, good sir."
"I don't wanna cry." She said stubbornly. Nobody help when you cried anyway. She had cried, lots of times. But it didnt' make people help you, it didn't make the hurt go away. It didn't make Daddy come and find you. She burried her face in Onyx's fur."
They headed up into the stands and found themselves a seat. Like the other morning the stands were next to empty, but come around midmorning the palce would be packed. "Will Piper's stalker be here to? i'd like to see him taken down a couple pegs."

"Depends on whose asking... And what you might be looking for?" he said. He looked at the person who tapped her shoulder. "I dont show of these babies for just anybody."

Onyx shrugged, and just pet her, doing like his father did to nailah or raven, seemed to work on humans. using his claws to run through her hair, being careful not to hurt her, and looking at Moonstone up in the makeshift stands for this event.
"well he's supposed to be an elf..I'd say look for a guy that reminds you of piper and that would be your best bet."
And Onyx purred a bit for her, under his breath, and hugged her.
"It's alright to cry though. you've been through some rough times here recently. you've been real brave, but I can tell it's hurting. can't hide that from a cat, it's one of those things we just know."
A little grin, and glance at the crowds, looking for Piper.
Malik caught Terran same time Piper did..and watched. Dead center, for someone who was trying to hide what they were he was being rather flirty with that chance at gettign caught. all it would take is that bandana slipping nad everyone would notice where he was.
"I'm wagering he'll come in first on his first shoot, and then act like competition is getting harder by getting lower posisitons without losing out on his chance to shoot agasint you."

What hitting bullseyes already? Someone was being a tad bit show offish. "He's just showing off. I mean look at him, he' smaller than the others and doesn't look like he can hold his own. To them he probably looks like a teenager with a pipe dreams" She tilted her head slightly and nodded to nothing in particular. "I myself plan on tyring to position myself in three out of four. Lure them all into a false sense of security. After all, I get three shots." But her mind was working out things now...she'd never shot a competition against another elf before. And she was oddly surious to know how this was to go...if they both dropped thier walls and got serious with each other.

"Nothing more than answers to life's questons. They say to hide your eyes is to keep the the evil spirits of those that would harm you from seeing you. Are you hiding?"
A littel tear leaked out, but she whipped it away quickly and and shook her head. "Nuh uh." She said. Though she was likeing the attention. When she had been crying while taking care of Malik, he hadn't even noticed. Against her will, this was making her feel better.
"I think perhaps it's that one there." he pointed to the bullseye contestant. "Not a lot of human's can do that." This was going to be very intersting indeed. He wondered how Piper would handle it.

Malik watched, and smirked lightly.
"no need for three out of four. get a couple two out of fours just to make them sweat. and this guy is definatly being a show off. Are you sure I just can't break his fingers for you?"
But he saw that look, that curious and a bit hesitant wonder about her chances when she watched Terran.
"you'll best him. your a fier'dal. you wre born for this kind of thing. he had to study years to get that good, maybe centuries. you got him on talent alone."
Onyx continued to purr and pet and craddle, grinning lightly.
"Uh-huh."
Then glanced around and found Malik and Piper, and twitched an ear, wondering why Malik wasn't in full armor. he was competeing, wasn't he? a glance over at Moonstone.
"you sure Malik's competeing? he's not in his full armor. think piper might not let him after what happened?"

"But why make them worry when it doesn't really count. I want then to think I'm just really lucky, and then show them that I do have my own skills." Though she then looked to him and blinked. "Only born half and raised with, Malik. Taur'Quessir are good with bows, Ithil'Quessir are good with whips and daggers more than bows." Oh, well that explained her equipment really. Reluctantly releasing her hold on him, she gave him a smile. "Why don't you grab a seat? I think I'm taking the next heat." Which was about one contestant from the third heat off.

"Knowing Piper, it's highly possible. Or maybe the armor is too heavy at the moment. He must after all, still be somewhat weak from the poison. One doesn't heal in an evening."
He watched. It was really quite entertaining, though the crowd hadn't started with the fever pitch cheering yet. All in due time. "And I hope our wizard friend doesn't show up to tell us about more tricks, if there are any for the archery."
Ashlyn gave Piper a little forhead rub on her hip, he little way of saying good luck. That and she'd look after Malik while Mistress was away. Just to make sure the elf didn't do anything to strain himself.

Malik nodded, and glanced at Ashlyn.
"Guess your my supervisor while Piper competes. well come on lets grab a seat."
And Malik chose seats up in the front, easier not only to see Piper, but to keep an eye on Terran. he settled down, a little grunt form standing up for so long after just recovering for a nearly deadly poisoning, one hand absently deciding to scratch Ashlyn around her head and beak.
"I don't think Piper coudl stop him if he really wanted to. but I wouldn't be surprised if your right that the full armor might be just a bit too heavy for him right now."
He kept petting and generally giving Bode attention, the little conduit having probably one of the few to get past Onyx's hard exterior.

A pet to Ashlyn as well before the griffin and Malik walked off with each other, taking seats in the stands. Piper? Well she did what others did around her, waiting for the field to clear before she took her own spot among the others in her own heat. Three shots huh? And elven eyes took to assessing the filed. Target at thirty feet...thirty? Wasn't that too clo-oh right...humans. And she had to play stupid...good lord. With a sigh she pulled around her bow, pulling out an arrow as well. Of course as archers did when in competition they were looking at each other, assessing one another. Well she easily saw the looks that she was getting. A female archer with a recurve bow? Yeah, that was no competition at all there. Or so they thought.
"Quel Marth Simpetar." He just called it out from across the filed to her as if he knew her. But under human hearing. Enough to draw her attention he saw as she did indeed glare at him from her spot on the filed. Him? He was sitting in the stands opposite Malik and the others he had seen her with. The cats, the girl and the griffin.
