Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ashlyn tilted her head. Wow, that was nice. She looked at Master from the corner of her eye. See? that wasn't so bad was it? Now maybe I won't squack in your face to wake you up in the morning.

"Oh my, dod you see the look she just gave him?" Moonstone wondered what had been said, but he didn't understand the language of course. He noticed too that Piper was the only femal on the field.

She sniffed once, but didn't cry. She was watching the tournament with one eye, interested by this point but not willing to let anybody see that. Not after she had so acted like she didn't want to. But again, it was hard to not watch. After all, it's wahte everybody was talking about, she should see it too, so she could talk about it.

Terran only raised an eyebrow from where he was, hearing equally well the sound of Underdark talk. Oh this was fabulous...he was quite content irritating Malik. He liked to see the reaction, how far he would go when he messed with Piper. After all, Terran was only testing the waters for someone else. But it was worth it.

Screw him, it was her turn anyway. Piper shook her head, notching her arrow to her bow string and pretended to take rather careful aim. She had planned out all of her shots. First one would be a dead center, second would be put in the second ring and then the last would be close to the center but not dead. That should set her points where they wanted. And indeed first shot gone off was put dead center. Of course the others with her got a slightly astounded look, a few murmurs. Easy enough. Notching another arrow she again pretended to concentrate on her target.

"Ier lle nadorhuan? Mankoi ier lle yassen ho ai Simpetar?" Of course said eight when she was aiming and that split second before she released that arrow...thus throwing her aim because he knew he could get a reaction out of her.

That arrow's destination...well, not as snug to the place she intended it at all. In fact...it was a rather low shot, just in the second ring...too close to the third for her liking. And her sights again turned on Terran. Little Cala'quessir...he was going to get an arrow in him...growling slightly she turned from him and notched her last one, though this time she didn't waste time pretending she needed to aim, only pulled back and let it go, letting that one land dead center as well. Not her first plan but with that botched second shot she needed the points.

Terran only chuckled. So she was easily riled up was she? Splendid...made things easier for him in the end. Just as long as he avoided Malik that was. But that was an easy task, Terran knew how to disappear when he wanted to and how to hide when he needed as well.

That did it. of course there was some shoutign and yelling in teh crowds when Malik got up and quite visibly started shoving people out of his way making a beeline for Terran. whatever he'd said had upset her enough to throw of her aim, and he knew that ent someone had really gotten to her. he was going to strangle that elf with has bare damn hands.


Onyx smiled at Bode.

"See, you'refeeling better already."

Until the commotion got a chuckle.

"I think our little elven friend is about to get a lesson in pain from a certain Tier'dal. You want to try and stop him moon or should I?"

Moonstone shrugged. "I don't really want to stop him. I mean...." and then Piper went in for the kill too. "And I don't want to really get in both of their ways. Would you?" ANd eyebrow up. "And I'm not all that certain that we could make it in time."

Bode stretched out a bit, shook her fist in the air. "Gale is an arse!" She screamed. Hey, she could tell when the only living woman she looked up to was being teased. "Doesn't know what a sportsman is!" Daddy had taught her those words, though she wasn't quite sure what they meant.

Okay he wasn't expecting Malik to do that...apparently that was the pushing limit. At least he knew for next time, right? An odd squeak sound as Malik booted his neck then a grunt as he was more or less chucked into the stands, getting a bloody nose. Though flipping himself over and plopping down to a seat he kind of smiled eerily, as if he had wanted the reaction. Which he did. Seemed Malik was either hesitant to kill for her or found her not worth the bloodshed over. Interesting. "Such violence over a scuff. But fine, I'll sit down and shut up as you ask...but I won't be loosing."

A final look to Terran. "Rusva iaur..." Piper hadn't really expected Malik either, her attention had been on Terran and his little phrases but now her attention was focused on the dark elf. "Malik..." It wasn't a chastising call of name, its definite tone rather indistinguishable. "I can handle this." Sure, that's why she was fidgety, right? But a check to her points found her in three out of the top four of the heat, and that was good enough for her. "Let's...just go sit down so this last heat can get under way and then the main one." Fetching her bow she came back to Malik and she looped her arm around his, urging lightly. "Please?"

"And whats to say your not one of those evil spirits? Youve not shown me trust to give you such a privilage in a matter of moments." he looked at her thru his goggles. he adjusted his his gear so nothing could show.

Malik watched as she leaned into him, and entwined there fingers, squeezing her hand lightly.

"If you want him alive, then he'll live. though for what reason I have no idea. But your wish is my command, 'cher. Usstan orn izin nindol..tanth...ulu dro, 'zil verve 'zil dos talinth ukta khurzon d' dro."

Then he tilted her head up toward his, and gave her a gentle kiss, before turning his attention back to the archery contest, idly scaratching the griffin as well.

She smiled genuinely. "I suppose we'll never know." She pointed to her blind eyes. And she chuckled. "But fair enough, shadey one. Keep your secrets to yourself. God knows they do you so much good." She spoked to Tanundra. "Why are you so interested in this one?" He did not say a word, but she nodded. "Ah, that makes sense."

Bode giggled and strightened her hair out. "It's not fair when Mr. Gale is doing. He's not saying nice things, is he?"

Moonstone stood. "My one on one will be starting soon. I had better go pre-pare. Wish me luck, both of you!" He turned tail and made his way out of the stands.
