A look to Zykariel as he was indeed looking around...though as most infants, he was merely tracking and then getting stuck on an object that wandered to his vision, staring a moment almost as if tranced before another object or movement snapped his attention. And boy was Zahara doing some movement. "Pretty much...that's what little elves do...just look around. Then again we do that when we're older don't we?"
Yes, Sevilin was a rather pleasant drow right now wasn't he? See, he did have a softer side...he just didn't like to show it too much because it often meant trouble for him. But a shrug as she mentioned eyes as well, that was something he didn't feel the need to debate, and they seemed to agree that they suited the little drow elf. Though then the little elf scrunched up his fast, fisted his hands tightly on his blankets and there started the crying.
"Yes dear he could...provided I would want it to. We've been through this..." Point was she didn't know if she ever wanted to rule a kingdom, she was quite happy with her little slice of underdark. "Besides...we're always going to be first in line for kingdoms. It's our right." Or rather hers, but they were together so it became theirs. But a little roll of her eyes and a chuckle as he went on about mentioning what he would do for fun. "You're just a ladies man aren't you? Couldn't be because your wife is...puffy with life...could it?" Half playing or about to mood swing on him, who knew? She hardly did. Though she sat back in her chair, pushing now empty dishes away from herself. There she finished like a good pregnant elf. Then another little smile at him. "Would that be another form of spoiling me? Because I feel the urge to knock down walls now you know...and of course I include Sevilin's and Zahara's baby."

Arthur hummed a small tune to himself as he hacked away at the skinny like trees that were around him, it be better for him to get these ones out of the way so it would be a whole lot easier for him to take down the thicker and older trees that were in the area. After taking down six the young elf decided it was time for a break so placing his axe into a stump Arthur slowly made his way over to a tree he left standing and sat down with his back pressed against the trunk. The one thing he forgotten to do was get some water to drink, but after thinking for a little while an idea popped into his head; using some of his magic he made a few small rain clouds appear over him and he tilted his head back just as they started to pour. After getting his fill of water the surface elf got rid of the tiny clouds with ease before staring back at the trees ahead of him, it would talk him a long time to get this place cleared out, so he would give himself about maybe ten minutes before continuing so he could keep his original pace going, he could at least get maybe thirty down before the day is done.

"Deidrich? Where are you, Deidrich!?" Meilikki sighed a frustrated sound as once agian she was forced to go looking for the pup. He had a tendency to forget his duties and wander off. For a while he had taken to following around the servants, until they complained to her that he was getting in the way of their buisness (drinking out of the toilets, indoor plumbing was a new development for the city.)
"Diedrich!" She caught the pup chewing on the rug in one of the drawing rooms. "What did I tell you? Stay with me, or stay out of trouble."
The pup was about half grown by this point, his head reaching up to the Oracle's waist. "I'm sorry, Mistress." One of the heads spoke. Only one would speak at a time, and sometimes the heads would speak to each other. It asa creepy thing to watch.
Meil put a hand to her forehead. "What am I going to do with you? You can't be chewing up the whole manor."
The dog positivly wilted. "I'm sorry, Mistress. I won't do it agian." He stood and bowed his front end, something Meilikki couldn't resist.
She rolled her eyes. "Come on, Deidrich. I have a new duty for you today."
"What is it Mistress? What is it?"
"I am leaving for a few hours. I want you to wait outside Celeste's door incase her or the babe need anything. Understand? Don't you leave unless she asks you too."
"Yes Mistress! I obey!" And the happy pup bounced away. A useless chore, but a training technique nonetheless. When he actually stays for the entire period she asked him, she would stop giving him pointless duties.

"Yes I suppose we do..." She tilted her head and studied the tiny baby for a little longer then glanced back up at Sevilin. The urge to reach out and stroke him was there but she squelched it easily, remembering that Zykariel was Sevilin's. When the child began to bawl she jumped warily, not ready for it at all. It startled her to the point where her hands went to her daggers and she was ready to attack. Her heart rate sped up and she went into defensive mode before feeling silly. Why was he upset? Had she talked too loudly? Or maybe he'd read her mind and didn't want to be touched by her. That was a foolish thought, thinking that the child could hear her thoughts. "What's wrong with him?"

He watched her reaction with perhaps some amusement as to how she reacted with a fight response. Babies cried, it was what they did so it should be expected that they would do so at any random moment. "No need to get startled...he's probably just hungry." The crying earlier? Well he just wanted to be held...evidenced by the still warm bottle on the nearby desk that the infant earlier didn't want anything to do with upon his first cry session of the day. Thus shifting him in his hold to one arm and walkign over to grab said bottle.

Okay then...order were going through, and after a few minor deaths of semi useless servants, they had what they wanted. one glowing red essence ruby, since the emerld had proved to be insufficient. and Laudi, drugged up and strapped to a table, while the necromancers there weren't involved in teh other parts of this ritual looked at eachother.
"you know, this works..she won't belong to us anymore."
"Yes. this should repair her brain functions, as well as twist them into a suberviant but completely fully sentient being. But we'll do as we're told."
So they took a dagger, and cut open her chest, and inserted said gem, and used thier magics to heal it up..and then proceeded with the experimental procedure both mystial and biological.
After the raidinat light faded, and the chanting stopped, there was thier new breed. Laudi's flesh and been changed..the now had curving ramhorns on her head..large leathery wings, and a long serpentine tail. her eyes were amber and reptilian, and he sported vampiric canines and a serpetine tongue.
"Inform the Master we did it...I think anyway."
"And you being pregnant has nothing to do with it. I enjoy how you look, always."
A small smile.
"Knocking down walls? good lord woman. how big a room do you need?"
A chuckle though, and a look to a servant, who was whispering to him again.
"Excellent. get arthur for me."
Onyx of course only chuckled lightly at the Oracle.
"You really think he's going to listen this time? and have you seen Aella recently?"
Of course, Onyx had a knack for appearing out of no place, mostly becuase he blended in with shadows so easy, and it was a pretty large place.

"At least one of us is enjoying it..." Because she just wasn't today. Yes one ot those days where she realized her clothes were bigger and pants were no longer her friend. One of those days where her mood just said he glass had to be half empty and agreements would be few and far between today and there would need to be work done if they wanted to be on her good side. Well...Malik was a level above everyone else, but he still had to play that advantage. But then a cute smirk to him. "Yes...just one wall...maybe two. Children run around and play and make messes. Would you rather have it contained in one large room or spread out all over your house and have said house in a constant state of chaos?" Boy she could make a point couldn't she? And then a frown at more whispering and a little plate was picked up and flung at said servant. "And don't whisper around me!" Oh look, slight mood swing...yes whispering around her wasn't a good thing to do right now.

Malik caught the glass, and set it back on the table.
"She wasn't talking about you. I found a use for Laudi, and she was informing me of progress. and that she's been...altered, to better suit needs. that's all, Chev'."
a small grin and getting up and walkin gover to her.
"alright. two walls. So who do you want to play nanny?"

A little annoyed look when he caught that glass...seeing as she was known to break a dish or two for what she deemed 'stress relief'...which was why they had the good dishes, and then the throwing dishes. So then, that little annoyed look as she crossed her arms. "Did I say she was? No I didn't." Which could translate to: 'you mean she was in fact and you're just covering, otherwise you wouldn't of said anything'. "I just thought I made it perfectly clear before that I don't want any whispering around my person." Why? Pregnant paranoia quirk of some sorts. Who knew. Boy had it been a fun past six months. But triple colored eyes followed him as he got up, walking over to her, perhaps almost suspiciously watched him. "If you think I'm going to put my child in the hands of someone else to raise, think again. A nanny is someone who watches day and night and does the dirty work for parents. Of course there is the temporary babysitter, which is a better term." Picky, no? "But if you must know....Keely is first on my list..."

Kid was hungry, right. She wasn't going to say anything about the previous cry she'd heard that had inevitably drawn her down to this very room. It was easier just to agree with Sevilin and then ignore the pair altogether. But the moment the infant eagerly began sucking on the bottle, her breasts tingled as though they knew Zykariel should be recieving his nourishment from her instead. Thus she was left with a dilemma. She knew that it was better for an infant to nurse naturally rather than drink from a bottle and she also knew that Sevilin couldn't perform that particular service for the baby, but she could. Of course at the same time she hadn't intended to...but she wanted to, didn't she? Yes, she did. At least her body did and her body was quickly telling her mind it should be. "It wouldn't...I could...he needs to be nursed Sevilin. That's better for him and I could do it..."

His attention again turned to Zahara at her voice as it made his ears twitch. He would have to fix that...didn't think he'd liked his ears being every alert for a woman's voice to call to him. Reminded him of times better not spoken or thought of. But a raised eyebrow as she obviously stumbled over a sentence she was trying to get out.
And further raise of said eyebrow at said woman. What was this all of a sudden. A few days ago, even a month before hand, she had repeatedly and adamantly said that 'the moment it was out of her, she didn't want anything to do with it'. And he never said two words about it. But here they were now. "I know...but you made yourself clear...you don't want to. And you don't need to feel obligated to either."The word want probably being stressed a little even if he hand't meant it to be...that was the operative word after all.

"Alright. and no, I'm not covering anything up. if you'd like, you can see the makeover we gave Laudi to prove it...though I think you'll probably slap me or worse for it."
A slight smirk, and settling back down and sliding her glass over to her again.
"Want some more to drink?"

She knew he was going to say that and she had said those very words. Slightly exasperated she sighed. Couldn't a girl change her mind? She'd suddenly decided she didn't like the Llothian jewelry anymore and had exchanged it all for amber yet no one even blinked an eye. She decided she wanted to nurse the baby seh'd given birth to and she was questioned on it. "I don't feel obligated. In fact, I don't know why but I do want to...it's very odd." Shaking her head slightly she held out her arms for the child. "Hand him over." before one hand went to the ties at the back of her top already preparing to pull it off.

"What happens in the basement, stays in the basement. I don't need to know...because I just don't feel like slapping you and if you think I will then I probably will...or throw something at you, whichever is more conviennt for me at the time." Taking a moment to study her nails before looking back to him as he slid the glass over then with his harmless little inquiry. A long stare at it a moment...and then a shake of her head. "No, I'm good..." Bottle of wine? Perhaps, but that was a no go and was thus left alone...she'd given up the stuff completely by this point, all in best interest of said child she was playing house to right now. Leaning back in her chair again. "So I guess that means you'll be spending your day in the basement."
Raise of an eyebrow again at her. It was amusing...he had told her. Piper had told her...there was simply no way to simply disconnect from this child and think it was all going to go back to the way it was. Maternal instincts...even the coldest of drow females had them...after all he had seen his own mother lovingly dote on her 'favorite' daughter before, but most usually hid that little instinct aspect away in the dark. Apparently Zahara wasn't going to be one of those.
So then a look down to the child in his hold, then a look to Zahara...and he leaned back against the desk on his hip. "If you really want to...then you can do it next time he needs to eat...I'm not going to have him think that his meals are going to be interuppted so he needs to speed through because he doesn't know when he gets more again." A little own childhood imposition on the child? Perhaps...but Sevilin knew what was wrong in his own years, so he would strive to prevent. And not fondly did he remember his own meals when he was still small.
And that was all there was to his answer. But now his turn for random musings. "It may be a good idea foe health reasons, but there's also the possibility that he'll get used to you and then not take anything else. You're not going to be around all the time after all." Hey, it was no secret that Sevilin lived on his own outside the fortress and liked it that way where he at least thought he was safe and secure. Only logical that he would be going back there, making his daily trips for training sessions as usual.

"Actually, no. I plan on spending my time helping you rearrange furniture and the like. I snet for arthur becuase he's going to be spending some time in the basement."
A little wicked grin at that.
"And alright, if you don't want anything else, is there some area of the house you'd like to start on today?"
Of course by now the necromancers had moved teh new and improved Laudi to a private room, rather lavished most so that she wouldn't feel imprisoned. dragonics usually acted violently when they felt trapped.
"So what are the plans?"
"Well..according to that girl, the master is sending someone down here to start the breeding process."
"you're not serious."
"As serious as an Iksar about Cazic."
"Well what if she....doesn't like him?"
"she'll like him, I doubt the master woudl just throw someone down here without some aspect of assurance. Do remember Laudi was rather vain in her tastes. if it looked good, she was interested. we'll just have to hope that aspect of personality was retained. if not, dragonkin are into strength. So who knows if she eats or butchers the first guy."
