Arthur raised an eyebrow when Sevilin shot his own bolt of lighting and made it connect with his and it kept going even when Arthur gave up since he hasn't practiced using lighting spells that much. To at least say Arthur had an amused look on his face as he watched the string of electricity move up and down and side to side, his eyes moved upwards to Sevilin and nodded a bit. "Yeah I guess I should, it be for the best anyway to learn some good spells for myself." Another nod came from him as he closed his fist, the small string of ligating disappearing from sight after that.

"Well he can take care of them. Till you leave here I'll take care of you. There, no one's patience has to be messed with. Besides, good things are worth the wait." Yup, see? In her mind, she just solved that problem.
"Yes...you should. Maybe you'll find yourself bold enough to ask someone else to train you. You're among elves now, boy. Time to start shaping up. All of these slaves are human...and they are human for a reason. You are above them...wether morally right or not, wether you want to admit it or not. Natural selection dictates you are. "Worthy elves, never step down...always up." Thus he got up, putting the book he was reading back and turning on his boot. "If you'll excuse me, I have my own training to do." Thus walking from the room.
((Time jump, yes? Let's bring people home and get things rolling again.))
Just to save some time, they had already had all thier things sent back, what with all the stuff Malik felt compulsed to pack rat back, the things she felt she needed to bring with her back, Zahara with all of her new things, and then of course the horses. Made for a nice return home, not having to worry about any of that. She rubbed at her eyes a moment, letting them readjust to the low lighting that was normal in thier Underdark home. Somehow...the low light and the cooler atmosphere she found comforting and welcoming. Yes, surface elf with a drow complex, more maybe she was just sure this was where she belonged now.
Six months, of course that was only three for Labyrinth, had changed her a little, perhaps bred a little more confidence in her. Her hair was longer, down to just around the tops of her shoulder blades now, but still streaked red. And she was quite comfortable wearing her little cream and gold surcoat as much as she pleased. Though she did sport a slightly rosy complexion as opposed to just being pale skinned as normal. "Good to be home..."
So, they were coming home were they? Pity no more lounging around eating and terrorizing things as much as he wanted. Most if not all of Malik's library had been stored away in his brain, as well as the layout of the fortress, the shifts the slaves took, the routine of those here, hell he even knew when the shopping and laundry was done. Yes, in three months he had been trying to keep himself busy, what with having a constant thing to do everyday and then nothing and no one to tease daily but Arthur and even that had lost it's flare.
He thought he would be slightly sick to his stomach...seeing as for whatever gods damned reason, he was actually happy...if you could call it happy...that they were coming home. Well...at least happy Zahara was. but no not because he missed her or anything, of course not. No...he just wanted his routine back and get on with things. Besides...she was carrying his child...he had every right to want to be around her and what not. Needed to check on his baby.

The welcome embrace of the dark enveloped Zahara in its arms and she closed her eyes for a moment, glad to be home as well. Andal was beautiful adn had opened her eyes to the colors of the world as well as the variety of life on another plane. But even knowing all of that the Underdark was her home; Labyrinth was her plane. "Indeed it is."
Six months passage had changed her as well. Having come through almost half of her pregnancy her belly was softly rounded as was typical for the slim build of an elf. Her dagger chopped hair had grown out and now lay just past her shoulders with her bangs down to her chin and that one piece of hair no longer bothering her, tucked behind her ear. Amber stones had replaced all of the rubies she'd worn before and even her clothes had changed. Fianna had let her in on the secret of veiling when one was pregnant as a good alternative to getting a whole new set of clothes and allowed her to be covered but not horribly so at the same time. She kept her same colors wearing a top that was purple and appeared to look much like a top she would usually wear. Where there would usually be no fabric whatsoever there was a thin veil that went all teh way around in a green color. Violet gloves completed the ensemble as well as a bit of decoration in the same amber color as the jewels she now wore.
Her first thought was to head to the library and make sure all of her potions and ingredients had made it back. Her steps were quick and she dropped the one bag she'd been allotted to take with her personally since everything else had been sent back. It didn't matter how much she argued they all told her her stuff would be fine. And indeed it was. She took quick inventory making sure the newest version was right where it should be. Thanks to Isle's connections she'd had a few talks with the Sea Elves, combined knowledge and with a bit of a genius idea had perfected her fertility potion. Very few side effects too. Sometimes it made Piper sick though she'd fixed the random nosebleed problem....that had been odd indeed. She lifted the red potion and grinned at it, she couldn't help it, she was proud.

A chitter to get her attention before he was sitting on the table before her, noices coming from him a mile a minute as he stood on his hind legs and pawed at the air before her, cocking his head every which way to look at her as whiskers almost vibrated at the rate his nose was twitching. It's you! You're finally back! Throwing himself down on the table to expose his belly. Come on, give me some love! I missed you!

Her gaze moved to the source of the chitter and her smile got even wider. Using her knuckles she gently rubbed his stomach before scooping him up into her arms and pressing a kiss to his furry little head. "Hey fuzzball, I missed you too." Hugging him tightly she then set him back down and plopped in her chair, running her fingers over his ears and back, scratching lightly. "Did you steal any of my stuff while I was gone?" she asked before thinking of something. Grabbing her bag she grinned at the little ferret, "I brought you a surprise, but you only get it if you were good."

A little growly purr left him as she took to lavishing attention on him, oh yes, he missed this. Sure, Sevilin cuddled him but never did this kind of thing...it was enjoyable and Zahara always had treats of some kind on her person. Of course when she plopped on the chair he was more or less half in har arms and the other half of him was resting on her rounded tomach. Which he of course had to sniff at and what not a moment once he noticed before going back to growly purring, then ears perking at her. Of course I didn't! You weren't around to chase me so what was the point? And you took all the good stuff with you. Though a chitter and a c**k oh his head again. Really? What? I was good! Presents please?

It was kind of interesting having him resting on her pregnant belly but she didn't say anything just kept scratching and petting at him. He was such a happy little ferret wasn't he? It was nice to be missed. But she took the long stream of chitters to say that he was good and reached into the bag pulling out a pair of socks. "These are brand new and softest ones I could find. They're made from some kind of special silk so I thought you'd like them. And of course I got a few pairs for me too. But these are all yours to sleep in or rip up to your little heart's content."

And in purely Nym fashion he lept upon the held out socks with a chittery squeal, not at all minding when him and the socks plunked to the ground with a thud, before rolled around with his socks, scratching and gnawing at them before he merely flopped on top of them with a little ferret huff. Ah socks...lovely lovely socks. What could be a better present.
Though for a moment he left his new socks on the floor and crawled up her skirt in normal fashion, sitting on her knee on his hind legs and again examining her stomach, placing forpaws against it and twitching his nose. Oh he got it. You were alone with Sevilin weren't you? Twitching his ears then at her.

"I'm glad you're happy Nym." She leaned back in her chair and watched him enjoy his new socks. Isle hadn't questioned it when she'd requested the softest socks she could find just shown her where to get them but Zahara had felt the need to explain. Of course it wasn't hard to believe that she just wanted her feet encased in the soft fabric, made it all so much nicer didn't it? Glancing down at him she watched him sniff at her stomach and the baby chose that moment to wake up and start moving. She'd never forgotten that first flutter of life inside her and it had stopped her straight in her tracks. Now she was pretty used to it though every once in a while it would take her off guard. She'd never felt the child kick though, that was new. It was...odd; watching her stomach bulge briefly and then go back to it's normal size. Expecting it to hurt she stiffened and went to brace herself but surprisingly she felt no pain.

A squeak of sorts, dropping back off her knee and skittering a foot or two away before looking back to her as he was all hunkered down to the ground, quiet not and only ears and nose twicthing in wonderment. What was that? That was not normal movement...there weren't joints there. Another little inquisitive twitch of his nose before he slunk a few inches forward. No really, that wasn't cool...yes he was a little confused.

Zahara shook her head realizing really quickly that Nym was just as surprised at the movement as she was. She very slowly stood up and took a step towards him then crouched down, resting on her knees. "Come here fuzzball, it won't hurt you. It's just awake now and moving around. This is what was making me sick all those mornings." She lightly patted her stomach. "There's a little elf inside me." She pulled out a small silver ring with a ruby in it and held it out to him coaxing him forward. "Come closer Nym."

He watched her move about and then get down on the floor on her knees, his little ferret brain processing what she was saying and trying to make sense of it in ferret language. She ate a little elf? No that was silly to think, she wouldn't do that. She was an elf after all. So then, this was like all the other women he had known who were puffy like she was right? Of course worrisome thoughts subsided a bit as something shiny and round was produced and he slunk forward, rising up on his back paws and reaching with his front ones for said shiny object.

She held back a smile, little ferret couldn't resist his lust for shiny objects and she knew it. Waving it lightly she moved her hand back to force him even closer until it was just before her knee. Then and only then did she let him have it but first she ran her knuckle under his chin. "I'll be like this for a long time so you'll get used to it." Oh yes, she hated thinking about another six months with the baby inside her. She wondered briefly where Sevilin was but dismissed the thought. He was probably hiding, cursing the fact that she was back. After all for the past however long he'd been free to do whatever he wanted. "You can have that ring if you like Nym. I won't even chase you for it." Pushing herself to her feet she walked over to her stash adn dug out the many spices she'd bought in Andal then began seperating things out of teh bag into two new ones. She needed a workspace so badly but for now this would do. Potions in one bag, spices in the other...except she kept thinking of things she might like to make and setting those spices she'd need on the table until it was full and she still was pulling jars and herbs out.

A look over to the door for a moment with a little chitter before looking back to her and lettting her lure him as she may, another little purr to her as she ran her knuckles under his chin and then snatched the ring, chewing on it in pleased fashion before he watched her get up and go about her thing. What that's it? Walking to his socks he picking then up, holding them and the ring in his mouth, before skittering over to her and plopping on her boot. Not getting rid of me.
He was of course what Nym had looked to. He had his choice of people of who he wanted to see...and well he wanted to play ignorant for a bit longer to Malik being home...besides he didn't want to be forced to give a detailed report of what had been going on just yet. So he was stuck with Zahara...besides, she had his ferret and his baby...he kind of had no choice. Though rather than just walk in on her, he knocked. Didn't feel like having the 'you're invading my space and privacy' fight.

She glanced down at the ferret for a moment then shook her head and bent down to scoop him up when the knock came. Wait...was the door closed? She didn't want to displace the ferret so she finished scooping him up holding him in her arms like a baby and walked over to the door. "It's open..." Blinking for a moment she saw Sevilin standing there and didn't know exactly what to say. Briefly her eyes scanned over him, moving up and down his body as though she was refamiliarizing herself with the way he looked. He was the same as ever, same ruby eyes, same style, good old Sevilin. A pregnant silence hung in the air for a moment before she broke it, "Hi..."
