She watched Nym slip into the water and walked to the edge, grabbing the tunic out and tossing over to the side then watching the ferret swim for a moment. Turning at the sound of Sevilin she glanced at him in the doorway and stopped. She watched him watching her for a long moment, their eyes locked and unable to break away. A slow tingly sensation slipped through her body and spread to all pertinent limbs and she felt her body react to the banked fires in his eyes. Then slowly she dipped a foot into the water and sighed at the wamth that permeated it. Sitting down carefully, avoiding any sharp rocks she settled herself on the side of the pool then in one fluid motion slid all the way in. Dipping under to get her hair wet, she stood in the shallow area of the pool where the water was barely up to her waist. "Coming in?" she asked running her fingers through her now wet hair before she shook it and sighed with pleasure. "Water feels fantastic." Yup, sudden mood switch.

And his head slowly tilted to the side as he watched her, holding her gaze a moment, those eyes entrancing as ever before she broke the hold and took about slipping into the water. He regained himself and shook his head as if to clear his mind and then stepped into the room, setting down makeshift washcloth and towel, reaching for his now soaked tunic as he watched the ferret motor himself around the rather large pool.
Though at the sound of her voice he looked back up to here from where he was crouched. And stared again. He couldn't deny that she was beautiful, well he never had. And even now when she probably though she wasn't since she was pregnant...well she still was. Though women never thought that.
But perhaps a confused look at her at her mood change and question. "I...have no reason to..." Oh yes, wonderful answer Sevilin. Want to sound any more flakey? Reaching a hand to the water, planning to pick Nym out but the ferret evaded his grasp.

She tilted her head and studied his body for a moment, using the excuse to give him a thorough look. "Hmm, no I suppose you don't..." Then she grinned lightly and ran her fingers through her hair, piling goo onto her fingers. That wasn't coming out of her hair by just rinsing it. Wading over to Sevilin she got almost close enough to touch then grabbed the edge of his chainmail dropping some of the goo down it before using the rest to run her fingers over his bare arms, smearing it. Another idea lit in her mind and she took some more and reached up coating his ears as well. She remembered well what had happened last time he'd had his ears touched. Smirking impishly she shrugged, "Oh look, now you do." Thus she pushed back onto her back and pushed herself to the deeper area of the middle of the pool, her pregnant belly bobbing a bit on the surface with her movements. "Just come on in."

"True. but how much woudl it cost us to get an Nightmare foal, considering that they are not in the high elven realm, but the drow, if I remember correctly."
A small smile.
"you're not reconsidering arthur's odds of survival are you?"

And he watched as she moved closer...and then regretted his lack of paranoia for he was then ambushed, and more or less given a liberal coating of worm good. Oh yes, that was lovely and he had been about to retort to her, perhaps chastise her but them she touched his ears and his eyes got that instant glazed look before he regained himself and rubbed at his own ears as if to get rid of the feeling.
A frown as he looked down at himself. "Clever..." In a way...a trap of sorts. He shouldn't be commending her on that. Though he watched her again before swallowing and then unhooking his chainmail, slipping it off and folding it in a way before setting it aside. For a moment he hesitated and then shed the rest of his attire and slipped into the pool. Well it was big enough to not force contact and he really wouldn't be able to stand that gooey feeling too long, his obessive compulsive tendencies would kick in.
"Trade system remember? I'm sure you have some trinket that's worth a nightmare and the danger of it's retrieval. Though yes you're right, they tend to run the desert in Daimos. Though there are a few brave idiots who would wander into that land." Hey, everyone knew that if you went there, you were in their territory and whatever happened to you was your fault. But a little shrug from her. "I just don't trust him." Kind of looking away from that statment, which was probably a first for Malik to hear from her...Piper trusted everyone. Though she seemed as if she caught herself on that too. "...to do it right anyway. May hurt it or something..."

"There, that wasn't so bad, now was it?" she asked still bobbing along before leaning her head back and soaking her hair once again. "Told you the water felt good." The brief glimpse she got of his toned body wasn't enough to make her react so right now she was relatively calm and serene. That glazed look in his eyes affected her more than anything else really. She dove down under the water and swam a little ways before popping up right next to him then hefting herself onto the bank and reaching out for that washcloth and the bar of soap. She sat there for a moment and scrubbed the soap along the cloth before beckoning to him and opening her legs a little wider to create a better spot for him to stand. "C'mere." She'd put the goo on him, it was only right to take it off as well.

He merely made an acknowledging comment and then took to scraping good off of himself with the aid of water. Gross...very very gross. All down his arms and chest, all over his ears and even in his hair from transfer. Not pleasant. Though his attention shifted as she disappeared under the water and he turned some to her as she popped up beside him before pulling herself up on the bank.
Though he seemingly froze at her action and summoning of himself to her. Say what now? It was another one of those moments where he was scared of her, though wouldn't admit it openly. He swallowed as his eyes roved over her body a moment of thier own accord before coming up to meet hers. Why did they draw him so. But perhaps in involuntary fashion, he stepped closer to her, but tried to keep at least arm length away. What could she possibly want...then again he may not want to know that...

Zahara waited patiently for him to link what she wanted and stare at her. That she had expected and even the sudden wariness evident in his eyes. Last time she'd pulled him this close she'd dropped goo on him. Her face remain neutral at his hesitation though she mentally sighed. He wasn't going to come any closer so she'd have to do it for him. Thus holding the bank as leverage she pushed herself in a little more and stretched out her legs wrapping them around his waist and pulling him closer. Words weren't needed at the moment and there was nothing she could think of to say that would allow him to place his trust in her so she let her eyes do the talking like they usually did between them. There was no malice or anger in them at all, nor an excited gleam from the arousal she was experiencing, merely more of a curiosity at why he was exhibiting hesitation and wariness. Of course that position was a very awkward one while he reacted and she swallowed her mind heading off on trails that were far better remaining those less traveled.

"True. but it's getting to talk to them that's a pain. and we coudl get one for free from teh plane of nightmares. well either way, we have time. a few more days. And I'm not about to risk one of them getting wind about Sevilin."
A pondering look.
"Well, why don't you make a mention of it in that letter, see if fianna or kieran can help with that. if they can get a deal brokered, we'll do it that way. if not, we'll send someone into the plane of nightmare. Agreed?"

He was watching her for any sign that this was going to go bad on him and he was going to be put in a position he wasn't going to particularly enjoy at all personally. But it seemed all was well...till he felt her slip her legs around his waist and pull his off guard self closer. Though his hands grabbed the edge of the pool and braced, keeping them just far enough apart to not be touching, though another inch of give and it'd be skin on skin, seeing as her stomach curved outward now.
His eyes snapped back up to hers, though they looked distant for a moment, a little scene playing itself in his mind. Times where things like this happened, though one of those sisters of his usually had hold of his braid in leash like fashion to boot. But he wasn't looking into eyes that matched his own, no he was looking into anther color, which seemed to be trying to speak to him in calming sense.
Reaching one hand back, he grasped her ankle and unhooked her legs,letting them slid from around him, though in gesture of showing some sort of something, he didn't move back one she wasn't holding him there anymore. Damn being intrigued by those eyes.
"I suppose that works, yes." A look back to that piece of paper...which still had nothing written on it. First couldn't think of anything and now distracted. Maybe she'd just hint at something....and follow up later. Yeah. Not that she didn't want to tell them...she just didn't want anyone fawning over her right now. Perhaps only Malik was allowed that right now. But it was nice that they had more or less agreed on the subject...after all, she didn't want to talk about Arthur, seeing as she hadn't really talked, seen, or interacted with him since that incident. A look back to him. "How's the paperwork coming?"

Her stomach clenched briefly as she waited for him to make up his mind and then her own misgivings when he reached back and unhooked her ankle. It would be so easy for him to pull her into the water and the way she was braced, she'd probably smack her head on the rocks on the way in. Not a pleasant thought, but her slender ankle was released shortly after and she watched him closely before lifting that washcloth and lightly running it over his arms to wash off the goo and any other dirt that was still there. She kept her eyes off of his as she went about her task, using her hands in some places and the washcloth in others, scrubbing lightly as well. Down both arms, his chest and neck before whispering, "Turn..."

He drew in a breath and perhaps held it a while as she apparently started to wash the goo that she had smeared on him, off. Well that was a long shot from what he had been thinking...though a welcome change of plans and thought in his opinion. Still nervous though. Yes this was a little odd change of things for him. Intriguing...though as her eyes broke contact with his he merely made it a point to look over her shoulder to the far wall.
Why did it have to feel good too? How she almost too carefully swiped at goo and cleaned it off, even using the soft skin of her palms to remove some of it. How did he get into this? Though at he whispered word he swallowed and merely turned for her, and his eyes took to watching a paddling ferret as he had his back to her...well at least she didn't have anything to knife him with.

"Coming well. I have a few basic proposals. mostly you carry a certian amount of my merchandise, I get ten percent off the top. the idea is they don't purchase it from me, but simply pay me a commision on sales. Think that's a good start for a venture? they don't have to worry about an investment and we make some steel. Same goes for the fabrics and others. after that though, if they get good sales or demand...we'll rebroker a new deal."
A small smile.
"Or do you think i'm being to generous?"

She held her own breath to see if he trusted her enough to turn around and smiled without hesitation when he did. Scooting a bit closer so that her distended belly was barely brushing the skin of his back, she reached up and moved his hair, then began at the base of his neck and repeated the process removing all traces of dirt and goop from his skin. Dipping her fingers in the water she brought up water to wash off the soap before it dried, splashing it on his chest as well as his back to catch any parts she might have missed. Washing the cloth out she wet it once more then reached up and very carefully cleaned the purple goo out of each and every crevice of his ears. "You'll need to wash your hair too. unless you'd like me to..?" she said softly as she made one more cursory check of his ears. If he wanted to, he could always wash his lower body. Eili knew she needed a full bath as she was covered with the stuff. Damn her need for not wearing too much fabric. She had goo in places she didn't know goo could worm it's way into.

She smiled at him. "Perhaps a drow who is generous and willing to deal in such a manner is a more suitable trade partner in the eyes of some. Being generous can be good you know." What with the laws of the underdark and what not, deals and all. "I think it's a good start...wouldn't do you any good to be stingy. No one likes that." Giving one of her little nods at him with a little smile over to him as well. "Nice to see you're pursuing other avenues of business though. It's good to expand into other areas, A'mael." And perhaps less focus on slave trade, though even if he was still going to do that, he'd probably do it out of the line of vision of his family. Which she would prefer. Piper rested her hand on her stomach a moment then blinked. "Does this mean no sword play either?" Her thoughts seemed to be a bit scattered though as she hopped to another topic, pointedly Jiscal's ball that they had discussed earlier. "So I can bring three people to this ball thing...who am I going to bring with me...
Okay, he was okay...in fact this was a little nice. Yup...actually is was quite nice. Perhaps very nice but he didn't want to overdo his thinking on this. Thus he let himself relax a little and merely take the situation as it was given to him. Though he about lost his composure when she was on his ears again, sucking in a breath and tensing yet relaxing at the same time.
Those damnable ears. THe feeling was so intense whenever she touched them...and since she had figured out that he reacted to that she had been using it to her advantage...yet a part of him was saying that that wasn't a bad thing at all and she could take as much advantage of that as she wanted. In fact, a rather pleased little noise left him, her words barely filtering though his ears and into his brain. "You...don't have to...I can take care of it..." A little drawn out from the attention to his ears. "You need to take care...of you..." Oh that felt so good.
