"Yup, they tend to do it without us even knowing it at all. Kind of fun actually if you can just go with the flow. And who knows, maybe it's better if you don't drink as much as you used to do. Life is more fun when you can walk a straight line and what not now isn't it?" Giving a sigh and leaning on the counter on her elbows. "So then, going to enjoy having your own space and freedom and what not again?"

Piper was most likely right and she nodded, then took another gulp of wine. "Very true. I enjoyed your after wedding party immensely and I only had half a glass. It's fun to be the sober one watching everyone else get drunk and act silly sometimes." She went quiet for a moment and debated, clicking her heels against the cabinets beneath her feet. "That depends on teh way you look at it. At Sevilin's I had plenty of space and plenty of privacy. His house is really rather big and I"m almost positive we could live there together and never see each other for a week if we wanted to but at the same time, I like the hustle and bustle of your place. Always something to do, always something to see, someone dying or crying or just chaotic. His house is so quiet...so freaking sterile. Sometimes I just want to walk up to his bookshelves and switch his books around so it doesnt look quite so perfect. But at the same time, I'm goign to miss his kitchen and I'm goign to miss the quiet too. I guess it's a double edged sword."

"That's the way it usually is...you just can't win on all fronts sometimes. Though you know, since Malik is building his little kingdom now, you could always take up residence in your own place on the surrounding land. Be like Sevilin, come here for a few hours a day and then go back to peace and quiet when the day is out. He doens't have a half bad idea, but he goes about it all wrong. I would call me more of a recluse." Giving a shrug to that one.

"Nope, unfortunately you can't." She thought about what Piper had suggested, seriously thought about it. "Maybe that is a good idea. I could always get Sevilin to build me one, he's good at that. But then I might go insane living on my own. After all here I can just retreat into my room when I need peace and quiet and at Sevilin's it's easier than I could ever imagine to get away. Living by myself might drive me insane. Of course at the same time it could be a good idea. Maybe something to try. I don't know." She contemplated her glass for a moment and then laughed. "Trying to get rid of me already Piper?"

"Nah I can't get rid of you. You're the only one close to my age here, so if I have a partner in crime, I have a reason to cause trouble." But a little nod. "I guess you're right, we're social creatures and it is hard to be on your own...I found that once I got used to being with someone again, being alone was stressful." Especially when she had gotten used to Malik when they were still back in his old home, being around another elf and not worrying was a relief. "Well, if you ever want a place of your own, you know, like maybe make a potions shop or something out of it, you'll get one on the house." Though one of those 'good idea' looks. "Hm, maybe Malik will put him to work then in that area as well."

"Good Ideas on both fronts."
though his attention went to his son, and lightly scooped him up from Kieran, cradling him lightly and absently making noises under his breath. tunneling and taking care of things with runics would be interesting.
"My empire is soon to expand. I will forge for my son a mighty kingdom."
The horde was gathering. the tides were turning, slowly and surely in his favor. He had taken leadership of his clan, and had begun subjegating the others in the area. but more. he wanted more. so he had gone to length and conquered those even further out. From his makeshift throne of bone and leather, he sat, contemplating. So much knowledge..so many memories from a life he never lived. he wanted to destroy himself sometimes to make the visions stop.
But no. too long they'd suffered humiliation at the hands of the Purians. Too long thier raids stopped by ambush tactics by a people to small to oppose them in open war. Now they had a smithy, it's smoke constantly billowing in the air. iron and steel weapons, armor, studs. leather renforced. they were a camp at first, now a military stronghold built out of the ruins of other attempts.
They were not just orcs. they were the Steelfyst clan. and soon, so very soon, the Purians would fall. thier fertile lands taken, and once they had exhausted that...they would move to Deep Water.

"This is true. Likewise you are mine and not living with you limits the amount of trouble we can get into now doesn't it?" Yes she greatly enjoyed their little escapades. She set her wine glass down next to her legs and rested her hands in her lap then leaned back against the higher cabinets. " potions shop? That's not a bad idea. A way to earn some steel and doing what I love. Of course I could always have him build me a lab too. One where I wouldn't have to worry about little fingers dumping things or little elves ingesting things that are likely poisonous." Yes she and Sevilin had had this discussion, thus the idea of shelves.

A smile and noise from Malikhai as he was transferred holds and his little pointy ears heard noises that were all too familiar and wonderful to hear as well. He knew they meant good things. Thus a bit of squirming on his part, little fingers curling into some of Malik's hair that was over his shoulder lightly. Oh yes, he enjoyed daddy's company.
"Certinally have your plans thought out and rolling and not afraid to get your hands dirty, that's admirable now isn't it? Ah forward thinking, I always did love it." Turning his attention fully to Malik as he took hold of his son and easily falling into that father role. Brought a smile. "Wonderful isn't it?"
"I think it's just plain cute." Of course she would, she was a woman and the thought of Malik ensuring his son's furture was just endearing to her ears. Though she crossed her arms lightly. "When we go back home, Malik, don't let her isolate you from that baby or from herself in favor of him. Mothers have a tendency to do it without even knowing and it's something you don't want to go through."
"Oh I'm sure you wouldn't have to worry about that. If you had your own place to do it, well there wouldn't be any little ones around to get into things. If you had a spot here, well Malikhai would learn right quick that he wasn't allowed down there." Zykariel? Crossed her mind but she didn't mention him, after all, Zahara didn't like to talk about him and since she seemingly didn't want anything more to do with him, why would he then be hanging around her and her potion paraphenelia?

Cedric knelt beside the dog, and placed a hand on the central head. "A companion is someone who is beside you. Nothing more, nothing less. If you can but remain near someone, you are a fine companion." The elf smiled with the gentle warmth of an oasis sunset.
"Celeste, Elric and I all face the same challenge. We are all having a great deal of difficulty. As time passes, we will recover." He smiled. "Time is more important, yet less important for an elf."

Piper was absolutely right and it would make sense to have a place where she could steal away and just work. To do something that she enjoyed just for the hell of it. She felt that way about the horses now and was utterly overjoyed to find out she could turn a profit with it. It was extremely generous of Piper to let her help. Hopefully she could help and do a good job so Piper wouldn't regret making the offer. "I just don't want to have a spot in your basement, Piper. That place creeps me out." Necromancers with wandering eyes and strange magical abilities. No thank you. She already didn't trust men, add in men that could commune with the dead and she was getting out fast.

Deidricj smiled back softly. "I have rarely even done that." He sighed, but didn't carry on.
"And what happens when time runs out?"

"I won't let her be a baby hog or become a hermit, you can be sure of that. But..since we're here. While you were having some time alone with Piper, a spike of worry came up that didn't seem baby related. Care to enlighten me as to what was discuss that got that little bit of worry?"
Onyx had been booted out of the party now, as after he got sing songy he tended to get moody. and moody Onyx was a potentially violent onyx. So right now he was in the main hall, and over some piece of furniture, staring at the cieling. He wasn't completely wasted, but he was more than a little on the drunken side.

"We share the hate of the basement...at least it's not left horribly dirty anymore." Yes, she had more or less left Malik's basements alone, she just wanted them kept clean and what not. A little shrug of her shoulders, closing up the Tier'dal bloodwyne and putting it back up where it belonged. "Anyway the point is that options are open to you and that's always a good thing, now isn't it? Now we just have to learn to balance out our lives...or at least I do, what with all I'm going to have to do." First and foremost, taking care of Malikhai, and not letting her relationship with Malik suffer, keeping her little businesses in order and being able to run a house and have fun at the same time. Goodness.
Fianna gave a raise of an eyebrow and watched him a moment. Well well, someone was highly sensitive right now to bond impressions. She found it quite sweet actually. "I guess I might as well tell you, since she hasn't told you yet. I don't think she was trying to keep it a secret, merely didn't think it important to tell you yet. But we were talking about Lharika and how you might react to her."
"Lharika would be the little moon elf that I've more or less adopted into my bloodline, and now you are informed. In line for throne and usurping your own place? Of course not, though she knows it's hers to have if you two take a pass. Did I do it to make my father happy? Well of course not, we enjoy making each other miserable. Let's just say from tradgety, something better came about."
"You're not a simple man, are you?" Shaking her head lightly, keeping her eyes on Malik. "Anyway, I was proposing the idea that we had of letting her stay here for a while. Get a taste and comfort for down here, get to spend time with you and Piper. She's known about Lharika for a while, quite surprised she didn't say that in effect she had a little sister now, but you know how she worries about mentioning some things to you."

"So piper's little sister. interesting. well, we can make her at home. though I take no responsibiliy for any mental damage for being around necromancers, ogres, drow, drakklin, or a human raised surface elf."
A slight grin, lightly rocking his son.
"And we'll see about that tunnel construction. I plan to get closer to the Penninsula, but the mountianous terrian that provided the protection to harbor the forestry also means I have to either go a good idstance around, or through it."

"Knowing Piper she won't let any mental damage occur and will keep her out of such things. She's still only a child even by time here and more so in Andalian. Can't get herself into too much trouble, but she's a well behaved girl. Just needs some exposure to things." Giving a nod, leaning back in his chair some. "And I'll make sure you get what you need to make that tunneling easy, maybe get hold of the recipe for the sustances so you can maybe concot your own."
