Warren flexed his fist while standing nar the rail on the ship. He had felt stronger these last few days then he had ever felt in his life. He no longer needed the can or Eliot for support, and was quite free to walk around on his own. He seemed, as before, unable to gain any muscle, but he was feeling so much better. Some time ago, he had felt an aweful shift in the pit of his stomach that had left him violently ill for hours. It cleared up as quickly as it had over come him, and once in a while Warren found himself unable to surpress this new pain...but all in all..never better.
Talking with the half-elf Aella informed him of the Earth Mother's death, and Warren wondered on the effect this must now be having all over the underdark.

Zahara? Oh she was just doing her best to irritate Sevilin. Wasn't working of course, the man had the patience of...well a lot. He just ignored her, which annoyed her and made her want to hit him. Annoying elf. She would dearly love to blurt out that she was pregnant but right now she just didn't want to think about it. His silence was driving her to distraction and she was a tiny distance from picking up some of those books and lodging them directly at his head. Sullenly she left the library and headed upstairs to Kieran and Fianna's room, the location of which she'd yanked out of one of the slaves. Letting off some steam by scaring the poor human half to death had just been a necessary evil of course. Besides, he'd be able to use that arm again...maybe? She came to the designated door, which of course was shut and lifted her fist knocking lightly three times. They didn't seem to be answering so she snatched another slave and got her to get her writing utensils then jotted a quick note asking the ETA of the blossoms. Last thing she needed was Malik bitching. Signing and slipping that under the door she wandered aimlessly for a while then found herself sitting on the stairs, staring off into space.

Arthur sighed a little as he looked around the hallways, he has been doing this for the past ten minutes and been asking any slave he came across if they have seen Zahara. None of them knew where she wasso that left Arthur to go down stairs and find her. With a small sigh as he grabbed his left shoulder with his free hand the young elf walked towards the stairs, but when he reached them he saw the very same woman he was looking for this whole time. Arthur held his breath for a moment, she was there seeming to look off into space and there he was just watching her. Might as well start it off... slowly he exhaled and began to walk up to her with a small smile on his face. "Zahara?"

She wasn't quite sure what to do. It would be such a simple matter to kill off the child; a quick gulp of one of three potions and that baby was as good as never conceived. It was common practice in her world to do so as well if one didn't want to carry the child to term. Of course there was also a potion to speed up the development of the child since it was a major inconvenience to be pregnant for an entire year. Technically she didn't even need to tell Sevilin, though he might want to know. Her mind roamed over all the possible outcomes but none of them seemed the perfect solution. Lost in thought she didn't hear the steps treading towards her, only the voice once Arhthur spoke. One eye squinted in annoyance at the sound coming from behind her and she took a deep, calming breath before turning around. Pasting an indifferent expression on her face she tilted her head, "Yes Arthur?"

Arthur paused at the sound of Zahara's voice it seemed to him that she must of been thinking of something serious. After everything that has happened he should really give the drow her space but he just have to know if shes okay. With a small grunt from the throbbing pain in his shoulder he took a small breath before he spoke. "Well after what happened in the dining hall I just wondered if everything was okay, if you want to be left alone then I understand." the worse thing he could do right now was piss her off, after all with the injuries that he has he couldn't defend himself properly against Zahara if she attacked him; he needed to be careful.

One snow white eyebrow raised and she studied the other elf for a while. What was wrong with his shoulder? He seemed to be holding it as though he was in pain which was odd but she just shrugged. "Free territory. You may roam as you please, keep me company if you wish. I'm just chasing thoughts that choose to swoop down and fly off like a dragon before I can catch them. I swear they're laughing at me somewhere." She shoved that one annoying piece of hair that liked to fall down over her eyes out of her face and turned back. "What happened to you?"

Arthur watched the female drow as she looked him over, well it's not like she couldn't tell he was wounded his arm was underneath his shirt. Arthur grinned a little and chuckled at her comment about her going of to fly after ideas it was nice there needed to be some humor so the sir wouldn't be so thck with tension. "Well if you don't mind I will take your offer..." slowly he walked over to the steps and began to walk down a few, then very slowly he sat down with a painful grunt and sighed as he rubbed her shoulder and felt his chest throbbing. Slowly he turned his head towards Zahara and smiled lightly. "Well if you want to know, after you left I...well I got into a fight with Malik." his smiled turned into a tiny grin as some of his ahir fell over his eye patch.

That news got a second raised eyebrow from the drow, accompanied by a shake of her head and suck of her teeth against her tongue. "You got into a fight with Malik D'Vinn... well you're not as bright as I had you pegged. More's the pity." She leaned her elbows on her slightly parted knees and ran her fingers through her hair then lifted her head again. "Alright, let me see it."

Arthur shurgged but quickly regreted it when some pain came at him from his shoulder. "Son of a..." he took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment and took a few more to calm himself down before he opened his one eye to look back at Zahara. "The reason was good enough..." was all he stated before moving a little closer to the dark skin elf. "I have two wounds, one on my chest from his blade, the other is on my side because he transfered the wound I gave him and the shoulder is because he touched me with some magical attack." Arthur wasn't too proud of the wounds he gotten but hey at least he was able to hold his own against Malik to some degree.

"Malik's clerics are supposed to take care of these things..." she said looking at the bloody mess of his chest. It was a shocker that she hadn't noticed it before but then she'd pretty much been ignoring him. Turning around fully to face him, she grabbed his arm and pulled him up then dragged him along behind her till they reached her room. Best place to heal since she had all sorts of things in there and it was private. Slamming the door and jerking her head at the bed she wet a cloth and walked over to him, her hands making short work of both his shirt and the vest on top of it. Once they were gone it was easy to see the bloody bandages and she took the cloth and sponged off the dried blood still there then pressed a palm against the gash. Her hand glowed deep purple for a moment and then the wound began to close itself up, tearing the bandages in the process. She repeated the process with his side and shook her head. "Incompetent people..." Tossing the bloody cloth into the sink she grabbed a vial of wicked looking green liquid, grabbed his hair and yanked his head back then dumped it down his throat, forcing him to either choke or swallow. If he complained, she wasn't going to be happy. "Swallow." she commanded, still holding his hair.

"“Well I guessed they were rushed..." was all he said as he saw Zahara look at his chest, the young elf looked down at well to see the bandages soaked with blood. At least it doesn't hurt as much as my shoulder... but before he could say another word Arthur was yanked from his seat and dragged by Zahara to a door. "What are we doing here?" he asked but was answered once he was inside. Uh oh...Zahara's room... he blinked a few times before Zahara motioned him to go sit on her bed. Without one word, and a blush across his face again, he complied and did what he was told; then he watched as the dark elf cleaned off the dried blood before pressing her hand against his chest. He shifted in his spot because her hand felt a bit cold against his skin and smooth as well, he blushed a little bit more as the wound slowly closed up and Zahara continued on with his other wound. Remain calm...she’s just trying to help you...don’t think of any rude thoughts, keep that out of your head Arthur.... he thought as a vile of some green liquid was brought to him and before he could ask anything his head was yanked back and the green liquid was poured down his throat. What the hell!?! he squeezed his eyes shut as what was in that vile filled his mouth. When he heard her one word command he quickly swallowed it. When he was done he opened his one eye and looked sideways to the drow. "What was that!?" he asked as his blush seemed to have grown a little more.

She released his hair and let him pull his head back up then brushed her palms off on her skirt and shrugged. "Simple pain potion. It might even take care of some of the effects of the magic Malik used. Since I don't know precisely what it was I can't really say." She'd merely torn the bandages not removed them and they were still sticking to his skin where the blood had dried. Reaching down she ripped them off and tossed them into the trash distastefully. "That's the best I can do for you." Coming back over she pushed him down and rolled him onto his stomach then began to methodically run her hands over his back, poking lightly before climbing onto the bed so she was straddling h im just above his a** and pressing her palms flat on his shoulder blades then letting them drift down to his lower back.

Arthur shook his head lightly when he was finally released from her grip. He smoothed out his hair and placed the hair back over his ears as he looked at her with a small glare. "You could of just told me you know I would have taken it a lot more easy..." He sighed a little and looked down at his chest and blushed a little since he was now half naked in front of Zahara. Tugging lightly at his bandages he raised an eyebrow when the drow elf just ripped them off quickly to throw them in the trash. "Thank you?" he said with a puzzled look. He was quite taken by surprise when Zahara pushed him onto his back. Now what is she doing!? his mind yelled as he was quickly rolled onto his stomach. He could feel her cool hands running over his back that was followed by a small poke. He looked back at her just as he climbed onto the bed and sat on him just above his a**, his blush grew as her clod hands touched his back again as they drift down to his lower back. "What are you doing now?" he asked as he turned his head to look forward, just so she didn't know he was embarrassed.

She rolled her eyes and held his shoulders down with her palms. "Quit squirming." she hissed at him as she continued to run her fingers over his back. "You wouldn't have taken the potion if I wouldn't have forced you. The smell is enough to make you turn tail for the nearest toilet." Competent fingers roved his skin lightly pressing now and then, her anger slowly diminishing. Zahara heated up quickly and she could stay mad for a little while but not that long. It just wasn't in her to hold onto that anger over a long stretch of time. "You got in a fight with Malik, Arthur. Knowing the way Malik likes to play things I'm making sure there are no broken bones or internal ruptures that might need to be taken care of immediately. Unless of course you'd like to die some horrible ghastly death that no one has any idea is coming until you keel over. Of course then yoiur remains will be given to the necromancers to do all sorts of unmentionable things with..."

And he could easily see right through her again. Not that she was surprised, seeing as she couldn't hide anything from him even if she wanted to, now could she? Just the way bonding worked. Though she gave a little snicker at him and shook her head, before looking back up to him with a rather intriguing glint of gold from her eyes. "Why only do one thing, when you can learn to do both and both of us can gain from it?" Piper stood up, and held out a hand to him with a slight smile...bit of swordplay mixed with language lessons would be good to keep her mind off of that which bothered her.
