Arthur sighed in happiness as he pushed away his plate that was now empty from the food it once had on it, slowly he leaned back in his chair and looked to the ceiling not really paying that much attention to Malik who threaten him about what's going to happen in three hours; but his ears did pick up Sevilin when the drow told him he was free to do what he wanted today, it seemed that he was tired or something it was because of his child that's for sure. So there he sat his eye looking straight upwards as if he had no care in the world, minutes rolled on by until his ears twitched at the sounds of nothing, looking around him he noticed that everyone had left and decided not to lounge around anymore so he got up with his katana in hand and left the dining hall without a fuss about anything. As he roamed the hallways for a little while he happened to hear some noises coming from the nursery and when he listened closely he could hear Zahara talking to her own son, with a small smile Arthur opened the door and saw her nursing her son and he blushed a little before looking away, for some reason seeing her like that always made him blush in embarrassment and he wished for once he would stop doing so and act like a normal elf.
So Arthur waited quietly until Zahara was done and he walked in closing the door behind him and saying "Hi" before he continued walking. Slowly he walked over to her once she placed her child on the ground and smiled a little as he watched the little elf, he chuckled a little bit as he watched Zykariel move around until he was ready to start moving then suddenly the little drow was off like something was chasing him. "They are so cute when they are young aren't they?" He asked as he looked at Zahara with a small smile.

She heard the baby rolling around and doing things on the floor and blinked. Tying her top up she watched Zykariel start to move slightly and shook her head. How could he do that? Did they actually learn to do such things that quickly? Apparently so. She stood up and watched the baby. "I guess." A cross of her arms. Should she pick him up before he got himself into trouble or let him go? He was having a good time but he hadn't gotten enough to eat either. So she scooped the baby up. "I'll be you're still hungry aren't you." then turning back to Arthur. "We're going to get him some solid food for his teeth. You can come if you like." And down to the kitchen with her hunting up some crackers and sitting down at the dining room table, giving them to Zykariel.

What Arthur said was true, when Zahara starts to take care of her son when he grows older she will be happy that she was able to spend time with him like this, so tiny and able to kept track of without worrying about him running off for hours on end, no that will come later. So the young elf placed both his hands in his coat pockets and leaned against the wall while watching Zykariel with an amused grin on his face, no matter if it's elf or human watching babies was funny until they were hungry or something. When Zahara offered him to come along to grab some solid food for her child the young elf gave a small shrug and followed her without any complaint, when they reached the kitchen they both looked for some food for the little drow until his mom found some crackers and started to feed them to him; Arthur sat down with a small smile as he watched Zahara's son, the little elf would grow up to be a good man that's for sure.

Hm, what are these? Picking up a cracker in one little dark skinned hand, apparently examining it, then with the other and snap it broke. He looked upset a moment...befor he smooshed the broken pieces that had fallen to the table under his hand and made more of a mess. Oh well it was supposed to break then wasn't it? And of course being a baby, he put everything in his mouth. Oh hey, it's food! Good too. But his brilliant eyes turned to Arthur, blinking at him. Arthur he wasn't so used too, seeing as Sevilin didn't personally interact with him too much. At least not as closely as mother did.

So blanket spread out, food piled on it, and letting little Malikhai have some freedom, kinda, on the blanket. though Malik kept a keen eye on his son, while drinking some actually fruit juice and eatting some of the food.
"It's nice to be out of the house once in a while, isn't it."
tickling his son lightly with his fingers, making his own sounds under his breath to him too.
"We are coming along nicely. how long are mom and dad staying, and how long before you little sister arrives?"

Zahara blinked immediately. "You're not supposed to...oh never mind." Wasn't goign to do her any good anyway. He was going to smash that cracker if he wanted to and there was nothing she could do about it. She frowned at the crumbs that were falling to the floor and her lap then glanced at Arthur. "Did you do lessons already?" Because Sevilin was nowhere in sight. She wondered if he had finally taken her up on her offer and gone to get some reverie like he needed.

Of course once she was satisfied that it was safe somewhat she was content to plop down next to Malik, leaning against him, her head on his shoulder and a hand resting on his chest, though her eyes were more or less always going back to Malikhai. Oh yes, this was turning out to be a lovely day wasn't it? "Yes very...though I do say, it used to be a pain to get you to go out...and don't blame the sun either." Giving a little chuckle at that, playing with the tied lacing ends of her tunic a moment . "And yes we are...very nicely indeed." Nuzzling his shoulder affectionately. "They were thinking about heading ack at the end of the month, seeing as we're getting a good handle on this baby thing. And they of course have thier own matters to attend to. And Lharika, well they were thinking about maybe when Malikhai was at least a year. You know, when he doesn't necessarily need my constant attention."
He was content to lay there on the blanket and squirm as he was able, looking around at all the new things as well as the new smells and sounds which made his little nose and ear twitch a little. Of course more squirming and a giggle, a little horrible accuracy grab at his father's hand at the tickling, before quieting some and watching his parents a moment at Malik's noises.

Arthur began to chuckle a little more when Zykariel started to break and smash the cracker he held in his hand before he ate it, these are the times he was glad he had such a good memory or he would never remember the moments he watched the little guy play with his own food. Though Arthur pulled back a moment when the tiny drow looked right at him, his mother's eyes staring at him in wonder. "Hey little guy what's going on having some fun with the cracker?" He asked and chuckled a little bit before looking over at Zahara. "Well I never did them Sevilin gave me the day off, he sounded really tired from when he talked to me, so I haven't done any training at all today though it seems Malik may want to do some later." That was the one thing that was stopping him from having a good day, if only Piper could keep Malik at bay for awhile longer then things would be better.

He blinked at Arthur spoke to him and it looked as if his mind was trying to process the words and make sense of them. Then his attention turned to Zahara at her own words and then back to cracker smashing and eating the little pieces...or more of merely gumming them till they were soft enough to swallow. Of course at the same time he found the fabric of his mother's skirt fascinating and had to start tugging because tugging was what he did.

She let him eat as he wanted to and crush up the crackers. Poor Sevilin if he started to do this at his house. The crumbs would drive that man nuts. He'd be down on his hands and knees personally picking up every one of them. "Hmm, well good for him. He needs to cut down and chill out. I hope he's in reverie right now, it would do him a lot of good." She ran her fingers lightly through the short white hair and then idly took to braiding a piece of his hair. He was an Inthara after all. It wasn't a very big braid, so she began brading it and unbraiding it and then he stared playing with her skirt. "Careful, you'll pop it open and then I won't be wearing anything down there."

Arthur watched the little drow make a mess around the table and floor when he smashed up the crackers and all the crumbs started to go everywhere, when Arthur had to take care of his brother's and sisters when they were young they made such a mess he thought he would go insane! But now it was only one baby they were looking after and that Arthur could handle pretty well. "Yeah lately he just seems so tired and stressed out, I just hope he gets all the reverie he can get he certainly looked like he was a stone throw away from becoming a zombie." Of course that was suppose to be a joke, living in a house like Malik's zombies were almost common to hear since there was necromancy around the place. Though Arthur didn't think about those things, he just watched little Kariel as he played with his food, then moved his fingers to start tugging on his mother's skirt, and the comment made by Zahara created a small blush on Arthur's face. "Yeah little guy be careful eh? Don't want to pull anything off by mistake."

For a moment he tried to turn his head to see what his mother was doing, but of course couldn't see. But the action was familiar. Daddy did that a lot with his hair. Though of course the reason that he wasn't wearing a braid yet was because his hair was still too short. Another look up to her as she talked about her skirt....which he ignored and ate his cracker pieces.
Then a look to Arthur, his little ears twitching lightly at his voice. More tugging on Zahara's skirt then. Hey he was used to tugging at his father and well daddy's clothes never came off, why would it bet different now? Though a little cough, crackers making his mouth a little dry.

She lightly tugged at the little boy's hand on her skirt. "You're going to pull that off if you don't stop, I'm serious." Thus sweeping a bit of the crumbs off her lap and the baby's legs before glancing at Arthur. "Would you get him a bottle. He might be thirsty, crackers suck up all the moisture." She knew there would be bottles in the kitchen and one of hte slaves could easily help him if he didn't know where to look. Once again she went back to playing with the little drow's hair. "We could put a barette into your hair. Would you like that?" She reached up and pulled the one out of hers then clipped a bit of his short hair up in it, then turned him to face her. "Gorgeous. It suits you."

Arthur shook his head lightly and smiled, that's another thing with small children they always seem to disobey you even if what you say is for the good of it all. But still the little drow amused Arthur no matter what he was doing either it was looking around with those beautiful eyes or his hands tugging or smashing things. But then Zahara asked Arthur to get a bottle for the baby boy and he nodded getting up and going over to the cupboards and what not and started to look around, after a few minutes and with a little help from a slave Arthur came back to the table with a bottle in hand. "Here you go." He said as he handed the bottle over, his eye now looking back at her child. "He looks good with it in his hair, maybe you can get someone to make him a pair." He offered as a suggestion as he sat back down in his chair. Well now Arthur seemed to have more than just the thought of Zahara's boy on his mind, after hearing that she would be moving back out with Sevilin that meant he would be with Malik and Piper alone most of the time, so after thinking about it..."I'm thinking of moving out and making my own house close to here..." He said while it seemed he was staring off into space, his blue eye now fixed on the ceiling above him.

He actually tried to angle his big purple eyes upward to look at the clip in his hair for he didn't know what it was. So hands left crackers, still crumb covered of course, and touched to the top of his head where it as and he latched little fingers around it and gave it a tug. Yes that pulled it out too, but that meant he also more or less pulled his own hair...and well that hurt. Thus he screwed up his face in that about to cry gesture before he did indeed start to cry, dropping the clip he had hold of and then fisting his hands, flailing a little. Pain, not pleasant.
