"Comfort doesnt' come in too many forms these days A'mael, and I'm sure that will just get more so in months to come." Because she wasn't even at full puffy with life status...which was frightening because this thing did have to come out of her too...yeah the thought made her jittery when she thought too hard on it. But thoughts aside she got up, making her way over to the bed and plopping herself down, laying back on her side, since her back and stomach postions were out mostly, and propping an elbow on the bed, holding her head up with her hand so she could still at least hold conversation with him. "I dare say your concern gives you that attractive flare." Reaching her free hand over to lay it on top of his. "Discomfort all in the name of something good to come though, right?"

Lifting her hand up to kiss it softly.
"I'm glad to know I still arract you even when your uncomfortable."
A slight grin and a rub of his hand on her stomach.
"and yes, discomfort is well worth the prize to come. more than ample reward for your troubles now. woudl you like me to go find you a better chair to sit in here? something more comfortable?"

Arthur groaned a little bit and turned in his bed, it has been over ten minutes and he still can't go to sleep; damn Malik he will pay for all of this that's for sure. Slowly the young elf pulled himself out of bed and groaned lightly as his hand covered his groin, but not just his groin but his hips, legs and his lower stomach felt sore from his and Laudi's...quality time they spent together. All that plus he couldn't close his one eye and that equaled him not being able to go to sleep. Sighing a tiny bit Arthur got out of bed and grabbed a new leather belt he had the tailor made for him and put it on, he just couldn't go around holding up his pants with one hand that would look pretty stupid. After tightening his belt and fixing his pants a little bit the surface decided he needed to take a walk around the fortress to clear his head for now and hopefully the gods would not let him and Malik cross paths at any point in time.

A raised eyebrow at him. "Aren't I the one who's supposed to be saying that? You're the one who looks as good as ever and I'm the one who's..." let's be careful in our choice of words, because the 'I'm fat' fights were just not pleasant at all...especially since she had a tendency to over react and today she was a little more sensitive about it than normal. "...puffy with life." Giving a little sigh and a smile as he gave an affectionate touch. Hey it was nice to get affection when your self conscious levels were on an all time high and what not. "I know...and I'll enjoy every moment when I look back on it, but right now I'm coping." Brushing her hand over his cheek with a smile, "If you feel the need to, feel free A'mael...after all, I'm not going to pass up an opportunity for you to spoil me. Just don't be overly critical about it and be gone for hours." Playing on his little particulars when it came to her before a kiss to Malik, watching him get up and leave the room. After all, he'd probably go rummage through knee deep piles of acquired stuff in his vault.

Arthur sighed mentally as he was walking down the hallway, it seemed that he was now with a limp but a goodnight's sleep should help him with that; that is if he ever goes to sleep again. So there he was walking down the stone hallway and each step he took made him groan just a tiny bit as tiny waves of pain reached up to him from his lower regions to bug him everywhere else. But as he walked he happened to noticed a door was cracked open just a little bit, and when he moved closer to look inside he happen to notice that Piper was there laying sideways on the bed mainly the reason was because of her pregnancy. As he looked at her through the tiny crack in the door he wondered why they haven’t been talking to each other much ever since he first arrived here in the fortress in the first place, then he remembered that everytime he was around her Piper was either acting all rude or wasn't paying any attention to him at all. Well this was a good of enough time to confront her about this problem, and thank the gods that Malik wasn't there or he would wind up all angry and pissed. So slowly he knocked on the door and opened it lightly to let Piper know he was there. "Piper can we talk?" He asked as he stood in the doorway.

For a moment, fingers had been playing with the bedsheets as if she had been contemplating changing them or completely replacing them a moment, but her fingers quit thier inspecting at the little knock at the door and she frowned, about to yell at someone because that's just what she did these days, then the door opened a little to show Arthur...oh just grand. Thus a little shake of her head to make her hair fall from behind her ears and hide the one. With a sigh she pushed herself up into a sitting position of some sorts, leaning back and bracing on her palms on the bed. But oh she didn't look directly at him either. "What about Arthur?" Purposefully putting a rather unwelcoming tone in her voice that said she was really unwilling to talk and to maybe scare him off.

Arthur blinked a little bit, Piper looked just as much as she looked like on any given day, her elven beauty was amazing and sometimes it made him blush a tiny bit but he was never attracted to her like he was with Zahara; mostly because she belongs to Malik even though he had to wonder why the hell would she want to be with him. But he didn't feel like this when he made his way into the room, again Piper wasn't looking right at him just like she always has been ever since she came back from Andal and the tone in her voice told him that she didn't want the young elf to be there and hopefully he would just give up and go away. But Arthur was stubborn and he wanted to know just what the hell is going on between the two of them. "That...." He answered as he slowly pushed the door back to it's original position and began to walk towards a chair in the room so he could sit down. "It's been roughly a year since I came here and when you came back from Andal I've noticed a change in you Piper, when ever I'm around you, you always seem upset and angry and most of the time you don't even bother to look at me like you are doing right now." He paused for a moment to take a breath, he didn't want to raise his voice or he would ruin this chance and the rift between them would grow even bigger. "What did I do to upset you so bad? I don't even know what's going on myself." His voice trailed off as he leaned forward in his seat as his one eye looked at her head with a sad expression in them. "Can't you tell me Piper?"

Though she wasn't looking at him her eyes were tracking on him...and look at that he came right in and took a seat...apparently not intended to leave. No he was going to make himself right comfortable, which made him uncomfortable. "Well, I'm married and pregnant now. Maybe I'm just mean to you because I don't want you to even look at me in a particular manner, but it good or bad." Implying that as all elves did, would often admire each others looks...which was the issue wasn't it? Since he covered her ears anytime he was around. "Does it even matter? I know what you think of me anyway and that you think me guilty by association." She'd rather have that then have his little elven self be appauled by lopsided ears...though it never occured to her that Arthur was raised by humans and perhaps wouldn't hold that stigma against her in these situations now did it?

Frowning she covered her stomach with her hand for a moment before letting it drop to her side. Still a little tender on the fact she'd carried the kid and been so puffy. She disregarded that look and just shrugged. "Fine. Whenever you decide what's going to happen just let me know. It might be a good idea to move some things in before I actually move in myself. But if that makes you uncomfortable or irritated then fine. I personally don't care." So now what would he do with the kid? He'd eaten and had his back rubbed. What else did you do with something that small?

Why did it seem they were having a conversation where each of them was trying to keep that lace of venom out of their voices while in the room. Sevilin knew he was. This was her idea and she was the one who wanted to change things all of a sudden, and she expected to simply demand and get what she wanted then use the child's best interest again him? Made his fur bristle a little. But he kept his passive nature at the fore front.
"I know you don't care. About what I think, or about him...there's no need to remind me of how you feel or how much you loathed doing it." Hadn't things just been a little nicer earlier when she first stepped in here? Things deteriorated so quickly these days. Sighing lightly he raised a hand to brace thumb and index finger at his temples, squeezing lighly as he closed his eyes a moment. Regather himself and then he looked back to her before dropping his hand. Looking over his shoulder to the child who was now quietly laying there to remind himself to keep said cool, and a light grin as Nym had jumped down, curling up next to the babe, before he looked back to her once more. "Be as mean as you want to me, but not around him. And try as you might, I'm not going to run you off if you really want to do this because it is indeed what's best for him. I'm not going to have all the things that were around me when I was small, around him. Understand?"

"That's not what I said and you know it Sevilin. Don't twist my words, you'll remind me of my sister." That was said with a great deal of bitterness before she forced herself to relax. It wouldn't do any good to get all miffed over something silly. Sevilin clearly knew exactly what he wanted and felt he needed to be protective of the child. That was the last sentence he'd spoken. A warning. And that warning made her bristle even more. Her eyes narrowed and flashed with fire before she clenched her teeth a moment. "Fine. Understood." And here she'd thought she'd finally gotten through to him that she wasn't like the others. Executing a mock bow she stood stiffly. "I'll just leave you three alone." Exiting the room quickly she leaned against the wall in the hall and sighed. This wasn't going to work if she and Sevilin were constantly at each other's throats. Time to go see Piper...again. Piper had become a sounding board in the last few months, especially since both were pregnant and Piper knew a little better than Zahara what to expect. Their friendship had grown and matured and Zahara finally knew what it was like to have a confidante. Thus making her way down the hall a little ways and knocking on Piper's half open door. "Piper...you and I need to- oh...sorry." Because Arthur was there already. "I'll just...come back later."

Arthur blinked a little bit and sighed, if it was true that Piper was being rude to him because of the whole pregnancy bit then she would also be rude to Zahara and Sevilin whenever they came around, he knew that since she was now going to have a child that Piper can use that to her defense but he had a feeling she was just trying to push the topic away. "You can place it on your pregnancy all you want Piper but I don't think that's the case." Though her next comment kind of struck him odd, he thought of her guilty by association? What was she talking about? Before he could say anything else he heard a knock on the door behind him and the next thing he knew Zahara was standing there, which quickly made Arthur turn his head away once he saw her; he didn't want to look at her right now with the condition he was in, he didn't want her to ask him what was wrong so he kept his attention focused on Piper, hoping that Zahara would leave soon so they can continue.

Zahara got the 'just hold on a moment gesture'. Piper didn't particularly care about Zahara now barging in as well, he sights were set and focused on Arthur and her attempt to make him leave her alone over this. She didn't want to explain and open old wounds and make them fresh for herself now did she? Having a hard enough time as it was what with being puffy and all. "And if that is the case?" Getting her pregnant self up from the bed and standing next to it, crossing her arms at him. "What do you want from me? Stop being a clingy little human about wanting my attention or whatever it was." There she went again with the slander slinging trying to make those around her mad enough to just leave. "Are you looking for my approval on something? Want something in particular like to get Malik of your back? What?" Snappy tone to.

Arthur turning away from her caused Zahara to look at him carefully to figure out just why he felt the need to hide something. Of course her ways were subtle and he probably wouldn't even realize she was watching him. Her gaze snapped to Piper though and she shook her head. Clearly someone needed to intervene. She didn't know what was happening between Arthur and Piper but Piper needed to chill out. Walking over she gently laid two hands on her shoulders and easily shoved her down onto the bed. "Calm Piper, think of the baby." Last thing she needed was to upset that kid and Zahara knew how closely pregnancy linked a baby to the mother's emotions. Every time she'd gotten scared or upset, Zykariel had reacted. She glanced back at Arthur with that threatening, 'you better not upset her anymore' look then sat down next to Piper and rubbed at her back soothingly. "Arthur, are you being a human again?" Hadn't she gone over this with the boy enough times? Was that why he refused to look at her?

Arthur looked back towards Piper with a 'What did I do?' look on his face, just what was wrong with the surface elf? All he wanted to do was to know just what the hell he caused to make her so upset, after all before whatever he did to cause this unpleasantness between the two of them they were getting along alright for a pair of surface elves. So when she started to be all bitchy about it and started to accusing him about being all too human about this he was just about to snap at her for suddenly yelling at him like this; though then it came to him that because of the baby she was acting all moody towards him so he laid off being angry at her. But then before he could tell her what he wanted Zahara decided to would be best to step in and taker Piper's side, blaming him for acting all human again and gave him a look which confused him, was he really trying to upset her? Of course not he was just trying understand why she was all angry at him, he wanted to clear the air.
Slowly he stood up and looked at the two female elves and sighed in frustration, first he looked towards Zahara with a 'Can you lay off?' look before saying. "I'm not trying to act human Zahara, just leave it at that alright? I'm just trying to talk to Piper" Then slowly he turned towards Piper and looked at her with a blank expression, trying to think of what he could say in order to first not piss her off anymore and second to get her to tell him the truth. "Listen to me Piper I'm not here to ask you to get Malik off my back, what happened today is not why I'm here." He paused for a moment to place his hands in his coat pockets. "Second I'm not trying to be a clingy little human to grab your attention I just came here out of wonder of what the hell has happened to make you so angry at me..." His voice trailed off when it suddenly it clicked, the day he fought Malik almost a year ago didn't he do something which upset Piper at the start of the fight? Thinking about it Arthur's eyebrows shot up in surprise and he blinked a few times before continuing. "Piper is the reason why you are so angry at me is because of the day I thought Malik and I gave you that look of wondering if you were in on the whole making Zahara pregnant thing?" he asked as he shuffled form one foot to the other.
