Hey look, it was that fatherly 'what did you do now' look. To which Malik got a chuckle at it as Kieran casually crossed his own arms as well. "No, didn't give her anything...that just happens. Once in a blue moon so to speak. Andalian females do that..." He tilted his head slightly as if he was searching for words. "Call it a sort of...attractant. Rather subtle hint at a peak in fertility actually." A little shrug. "As I said, rare, and well...it's just plain funny sometimes. Can't help herself being giggly and what not."
Then another chuckle and a look to Malik. "Would of been good if I had known that the first time huh? Then again maybe not...because then you probably wouldn't have Piper, now would you?"

"Is that so. so that's what that is like. I'll have to look for that in Piper, now won't I."
then a small grin.
"Well, whiel they are managing the horses, you can help me pack the room and bedside table...unless you have more pressing concerns to deal with at the time?"
Hey, he knew Kieran had his own things to deal with, now didn't he.

Kieran practically rolled his eyes. "Good luck with that. Rare as a wood elf at a volcano." He shook his head lightly, shifting his weight to one side slightly. "If I had to put a time on it...I'd say it happens once every oh...a good two hundred years, naturally of course." But Kieran shrugged lightly and then dropped his arms. "I think I will...suppose it would be quite interesting to see you pack all of that and still be able to travel easily." Intrigued, yes. Not to mention it probably wasn't too good for him to hang around Fianna excessively with ample opportunity to sneak off. "I've finished all that I need to do, so no worries there."

Arthur sighed as he closed the door to the aerna, that was farily interesting to say at least. Looking at his hands for a moment he grinned and turned them into fists with a small chuckle. Maybe I should go to the tailor and get my shirt... With a small glance back to the arena door his grin grew wider as he started to walk back to the tailor.
About fifteen minutes later Arthur was whistling as small tune as he made his way back to his room, he had his shirt in his hands as he looked it over. It looked the same like his last one but at the bottom of the shirt and cuffs of the sleeves they had gold thread stiched inside. Just liked I asked for... when he reached his room Arthur quietly went inside and took a nice hard earn bath.

"Good."
so he led Keiran up to thier room, adn handed him a large bag, that was pitch black to look into and had a faint humming coming from inside it.
"Just hold that open, and watch the wonderful skills of gnomish craftmanship in the realm of mechamagica."
And once Kieran was holding open the bag, Malik went to the closet openign it up, and pretty much dumped everything out of it into the bag. some seventy outfits, the wedding outfit, his suir of armor, and various boxes of rings and assorted magical items.
Then came the bedsheets, and five bows. all long compound, one that looked like it was made of granite, one that looked like it was composes of glass with air moving in it, one that was made of coral, one that looked like it was composed of lava, and one that looked like it was made of black glass.
And then the bedside table, legs came off first and then fit it in there, and he holder for Malvolence, Ebony taken from his hip and put inside and Malvolence put on his person.
"That's one bag. next bag we can put all of Piper's stuff in."

Of course he easily and almost eagerly followed Malik into the fortress and upstairs to the young couple's room, being handed that bag which of course he was all the more intrigued over. OF course looking into the pitch blackness of the inside, ears twitching slightly at the light sound, oh yes, Kieran was horribly intrigued, that scholar in him trying to take over.
Then it just got worse as Malik started dumping anything and everything in it...and it was all fitting. Now Kieran was really intrigued, watching as he put more in, yet the weight didn't increase to much, nor did the bag expand. "Mechamagica eh? I think I'm going to have a new subject of study for at least three months." Horribly fascinating for Kieran.
"All of that in one bag...and you can literally pack the house. It's a pack rat's dream come true." Of course a chuckle at that.

"I have eight of them. and Mechamagica is a gnomish field. the study of combining clockwork technology and magic into one field. the gnomish tinker's bags are a work of that. a small pocket dimension, kept contained int he bag through magically enchanted clockworks sewn into the bag. they have other devices I find useful at times as well."
A slight grin at him.
"If you want, I can probably have some made for you. or at the very least I can have some sent here fomr norrath if I can get that gate to open a portal to there."

"You do like to tempt me, don't you Malik?" Said with a little chuckle of course. After all, they both knew that Kieran couldn't resist something like this. It was much too intriguing and elvish Gods knew only what he could think up from the little devices. Hell, he would have a place to put all of those damn journals of his that he was constantly stacking up everyplace he went.
But yes even now he was storing away things to write down later, probably sketch out and also put ideas towards. Who knew what went on in his head when he had idle time to think? Of course that breif thinking look. "Shouldn't be to difficult to get one open to there...you do have a master rune mage to do it and stabily as well."

"It's my nature to tempt and lure, I'm a drow."
A chuckle at that, letting Kieran hold the second bag and putting all of Piper's clothing and armor into it, and her fletching supplies..makeup, brushes, hair ties, several bandana's, and the new sword he made for her and it's own special holder and case as well. there it was, one whole room and the bedside table all in two bags. Just think how much he could put in eight.
"So how long will Fianna be like that...and why haven't you thought about giving Piper and younger brother or sister?"
A little grin at that.

"This, is true...it is in your nature. But you're just having your fun because you know you can. Make me think all hard like and what not." He chuckled again, yes he did like Malik. Good elf. Then of course watchng in equally fascinated fashion as Malik packed away all of Piper's things as well. Including new weaponry and what not.
"Maybe...twleve hours? Maybe more, maybe less. It's as breif and sporatic as it is rare...can't really tell you." Then a little shrug. "Already put one child through such trials of the life that it is born to...and you know how hard it is to get them pregnant. Even with a momentary spike, it doesn't guarentee anything. Just when you think a woman can't get any more difficult, she does."
Another chuckle from him. "Never really crossed our minds...we have Piper, and even when we didn't...me and Fianna would never 'replace' her, so to speak. It's hard...being together yet not being together. Obligations and what not. I'm ashamed to say that Piper was passed between us like luggage sometimes." A small shake of his head. "Children don't deserve that."

And like striking a gong it hit Arthur the moment he was relaxing in the tub. The whole conversation with Zahara and why he was so confused at the end, he was contradicting himself when he said he wasn't fighting for honor but he really was; he just didn't get it until now since he was all flustered when he's ever around the drow and talking about Malik just pissed him off. Damn did he screwed up he said that she was wrong and when you're with a women you never tell her that, sighing lightly as he leaned back against the tub Arthur's one eye rolled up to the ceiling. Way to go elf boy way to go... should he talk to her and apologize? If he wasn’t so embarrassed around her then maybe he could, well he had to try at least. Sighing heavily Arthur got out of the tub and dried himself off before putting on his cloths. The shirt he got from the tailor felt really soft against his skin, he should get a few new styles done by the man when he has the time. With a small smile Arthur lit up one of his cigars and attached his katana back to its belt before leaving his room.

"Children are precious. treat them wrong, and it will come back to haunt you. there is nothing more deadly in this world than a child done wrong. for without age, thier emotions consume. hatred, rage, anger...some of the most deadly assassins I've known were children poorly treated."
Both bags all done and set up to go, taking a seat on the bead, one leg resting on the other, turning a steel coin across his knuckles.
"Why, praytell...did you can Fianna never combine your kindgoms, merge your worlds into one. You explain the political aspects, but never the personal ones. what did you fear of such a thing..or what worries or regrets, perhaps..that kept your from such?"

Picking Up Stars Vice Captain

Zahara looked at him skeptically, as if the type of rock she used would really matter. But he tended to be right about some of these things so she took it and rubbed her thumb over the smooth surface then closed her eyes and experimentally flicked her wrist as though she were runing the swoosh mark and then she let the rock go. A few seconds passed and she opened one eye to see the rock jumping across the water, pretty fast. Her eyes lit up happily and she smirked at the water as if to say 'ha, I bested you.' She drank in her victory for a moment then turned to look at Sevilin nodding. "Thanks. So then, anything that you have to confess to or talk about or are we done with heart to hearts?"

Sevilin merely continued to skip rocks for a few moments before he blinked and looke to her with one eyebrow raised, regarding her with an uncertain air about himself. It was happening again, she was doing it again, that thing where she wasn't putting herself high on a pedastal above everyone else and lording her very 'divine rights' above anyone who crossed her path. She was just...being Zahara. Back to skipping a rock or two again. "About the...other night..."
"They are that exactly, so it's easy to see that I nor Fianna are at all proud for the way that Piper was raised between the two of us. Months with one, not seeing the other, then the reverse happening." A little shrug. "Perhaps that was one of the reasons I let her go when she wanted to so easily."
A quirk of an eyebrow at Malik, and taking a moment to consider his answer. "Malik...the trees can not survive on the light of the moon alone, no matter how brightly it shines." It was a little difficult to explain really. "Too far apart perhaps plane wise to truly combine, too loyal in our duties to our kingdoms to just throw it all to someone else and have each other, let down those that needed us."
He gave a little inclination of his head a moment. "To be perfectly honest...Piper...well, wasn't at all expected." A slight chuckle. "Not expected, but not a mistake and certainly a blessing." Another little shrug from him as he looked back to Malik. "Star crossed, you could call us...meeting only because of our bloodlines, and falling in love perhaps in the wrong time in the wrong place."
Kieran crossed his arms lightly. "Though one day, I won't have to worry about that now will I? I'm older than her, been ruling longer than her. And after a time it gets tiring I suppose...and I'll be first to step down or take back seat. And when that particular time comes...well that will be mine and Fianna's."

"Star crossed. That word I well know. the same can be said for Piper and myself. a chance meeting, the led to deception, that backfired and led to something better. Ruling a land is tiring work, I might imagine. the Fortress and it's lands are my kingdom, but the only ones living in it reside in these walls. Although Sevilin brought up an interesting idea, to lay claim to the Requias drow of Andal, to put them under my wing. in effect, making another surface drow kingdom...just to piss off the Vrist one."
A grin at Kieran.
"That time will come soon enough. eventually your going to come home a ragged mess, and have six new journals and Fianna is going to make you step down before you get yourself killed, I imagine."
Though a touch to Malvolence's hilt. directing thoughts to two others. first Piper:
We're done packing here...how are things going with the animals?
Then Zahara:
We are getting ready to leave for Andal shortly. if your still interested, you had best start getting prepared.
