"Daddy's back!" Not that he had really gone anywhere. It was almost like Malik 'went off to work' when he holed himself up in the basement, at least to the little elf it was. Like when mommy spend hours on end out with the horses. Point was there was a period of more than two hours or so that he didn't see them and that consituted long enough to be overly joyful when they 'came back'. But that was all beside the point as wriggled some to get his mother to stop fussing with his clothes, seeing a he could dress himself, if not a little haphazardly some days, and to put him down. Upon little booted feet touching the ground he ran over to his father and duely attached himself to his legs in a hug. "Morning daddy." Then a nod at the breakfast question against Malik's pant leg. Not to mention that this mentioning of a treat for himself had him all excited as well.
A smile as she had set thier son down, who had promptly latched to Malik. It was so cute really...was really even cuter when he imitated his father on occassion. But a walk over and a kiss for Malik, while patting thier son's head as well in affectionate gesture. "So is that what you've been doing all morning? After all, it's not often you get up before me." Of course that was probably only one of the things he was doing down there, seeing as Piper made her visits into his basement business rare. "Good to know though, after all, I have to screen everyone now don't I?" Before moving over to the dresser and grabbing her brush, pulling it through her hair surprisingly quickly for it's length, and then joining the boys again. Yes, she knew she was going to have to let the boy start to get exposed to others...maybe she'd take him to see Meilikki. Honorsfield wasn't so bad after all, and if Malik had business to do there in some fashion, well two birds with one stone.
Sevilin gave a noise before a sigh, blood red eyes opening slowly and Sevilin giving a stretch as his son took means to rousing him from his reverie. Not that he minded being yanked from them, the good ones were few and far between after all. But he gave the boy a smile, sitting up and then ruffling the child's hair. "I'm up Zykariel, I'm up." Though a twitch of ears at a growl from the boy's stomach. "Hungry? Come on."
Swinging his legs over the edge of the bed, he pulled his son into his lap, giving a look back over his shoulder to Zahara who was still out. Oh how she did love to reverie past dark and early. A shake of his head at that before he picked up his son and stood, walking them both out of the bedroom and thus downstairs. "What do you want to eat?" Please be something he could make or toast/heat.

"that and monitoring some other buisness that didn't turn out as well as expected. but still salvagable. So first, lets get everyone breakfast, then we'll have piper meet the potentials, and then we'll see about your special treat, how's that?"
returning his wife's kiss and picking up his son, carrying him downstairs and setting him down by the table to get himself a seat, and having the servants arrange the usual wide array of breakfast foods, for the two more picky eaters.

Zykariel grinned down as his father's eyes became visible and nodded. "Good. No need to be a lazybones." He held onto his dad's shirt and braid and glanced back at Zara who was still in reverie. "Pancakes and waffles! And eggs too. And mother always makes those linky things that are made of meat. Those are good, some of those too."

"Malik business, got it." And she didn't ask about Malik business anymore, she just let him do as he pleased...unless she got wind of something wholely unsavory and then it was her business because sometimes that man needed to be reined in. But she merely followed them downstairs and to breakfast land, taking that motherly role of filling up thier son's plate. He was about as picky as her, but he did eat a good enough size meal for his little self...besdies, she knew how to get him to eat. Whatever Malik was having, well he would want. Though he did have a slight leaning toward cinnamon being put on stuff as well. Him taken care of, she tended to herself.
Climbing up in his chair he waited for his plate and then it was dig in time when it was set in front of him. After all, daddy didn't play and pick with his food now did he? Of course taking those overly big bites and what not and also picking through his food according to which he liked today and what he didn't, but would like again tomorrow. "So what's my treat?"
He grimaced. Oh it figured Zahara had that boy spoiled with whatever she could cook up, well when she was around anyway. Why couldn't it be something he could like, toast and be done with. "You sure, you don't want cereal or something? You know I can't cook..." Oh the fun they had had with that one. One of those things that he sided with Zahara on...Sevilin just wasn't up to par in the cooking world. Not that he cared, but Zykariel did. "I suppose I could try..." Which was bad too. But he set his son down on the edge of the kitchen table, waiting for his answer of culinary doom.

A slight grin, eating as he always did, and glancing over at Piper at thier son's question.
"there are forces in the world, that can be harnessed and bent to the will of a singular person. you can't see them, but you can feel them. it's like being in a huge bathtub filled with just the right temperature of water. Or more like swimming in an ocean. you have to learn to swim, before you can enjoy it."
A little more food and some drink.
"Your mother gets to go over the specifics first, butwe're going to introduce you to some kinds of these forces, and what they are capable of. each have thier own strengths, and weaknesses. like myself for example. A lot of my power is very dangerous, very deadly to those that are my enemies. but many of my abilities take time to work to thier fullest. or need certain things, some of which are unsavory, to function."
A grin over at his son.
"So your going to get a taste of some things, and we'll see what you like most and go from there."

Cutely tilting his head at his father as he explained this new wonderus thing using bathtub analogies and other water analogies. Thus he thought about swimming in the lake on thier property and see if that made sense too. Had he ever felt that sort of thing. Wait, what were we talking about? Thus a look over to Piper with that questioning gaze.
"The glowy stuff that comes out of nowhere, and where you can make something happen or appear out of thin air." Just had to simplify it a little into something more accutely visual that he had seen before. "Like what mommy does with her arrows and daddy with his hands." Ah there it was, the child got that ping of realization look.
Thus his head snapped back to Malik, all excited and what not. "I get to learn that?!" Aw, he was even more excited now wasn't he? And he got to choose too! Which of course lead to a speed up in the breakfast pace because the quicker he cleared his plate, the quicker he got to do fun things.
She gave a chuckle and a fond look over to Malik. Aw, her boys were going to be playing with magic and what not. It was nice to watch them do things together and to see how Malik handled it all. "At least we know someone will be a good student."

He paused for a moment, chewing on his bottom lip and then grinned. "I want- Mother!"
Zahara had indeed appeared in the doorway just in time to hear Sevilin agree to try cooking. "No trying for you Sevilin, you'll just get frustrated and he'll say something that doesn't sound mean to him but is." A look at Zykariel for a moment and she raised an eyebrow. "You're not getting waffles and pancakes, Kariel. You know better than that. I will make you eggs, bacon and sausages which are those linky things you were talking about. So what's it going to be?"
He frowned for a moment and then shrugged. "'Kay. I think I want pancakes. Ooh Zara, can I have chocolate chips in them too?"
She thought about that for a minute. "But then I won't have them for chocolate chip cookies. How about blueberries instead?"
"Blueberries!" He nodded enthusiastically and jumped down off the table onto the chair then to the floor. "Can I help?"
"Sure you can. Come on, let's get you a chair." She pushed a chair over to the counter for him to stand on so he could reach and glanced at Sevilin. "Blueberry pancakes okay with you?"

Oh sweet merciful Gods in the plane, saved. He looked up from his and over to Zahara. Ah yes she had perfect timing as usual, though he gave her a lopsided grin and crossed his arms at her comment. "Most likely, but hey it's what he wants so I have to try don't I? I mean what if you weren't here this morning? Hm?" Just because he had to make a damned point.
But he gave a sigh and watched as Zykariel went about making himself useful, which Sevilin took to doing as well, fetching some breakfast components and what not, bringing them to the counter. And a nod to Zahara. "Sounds fine to me." Tapping Zykariel on the shoulder then. "Try not to make too much mess." Before ruffling his hair.

A slight chuckle.
"you get to be introduced to it. Don't think your going to be a master of it in a day. it will take a long time to truly master. which is why you have to choose very carefully what you want, because it would be very hard to try and study multiple paths in this area."
And aslit touch on his shoulder.
"And don't cram all your food down like that, you'll choke. Trust me they will be there when you are done."

"I have a long time." Yes, he already understood that being elven meant no rushing because there was no reason to even rush at all since they had practically forever. Though being restricted in a sense about this all didn't douse that spark of excitment at all. If he didn't know better than to behave at the table, he probably would of been bouncing and what not from it all. Though at the gently reprimand, he swallowed the rather large bite he had in his mouth and gave that sheepish smile. "Sorry." Thus eating like he was supposed to...smaller bits of course but still trying to speed up a little.
"And when you get good at what you pick first, perhaps you can learn something else then. But only if you know how to handle the first one and not a moment before. Okay?" So nice to see him all excited. Though it was nice to know he was learning the important things also of being elven. All that time spent in communion sessions before he was born paid off now didn't it? Another look to Malik. "Remember, nothing too big."

Another three years had passed quickly for the pups. And now even though they were Wolves they were often refered to as pups, they didn't mind... to much.
They had all grown and changed. Each more mature, more skilled. Each pup had speciallized in their weapons and were now formidable oponants on the battle field.
In all this time their loyalty to Roarke only increased. He now lovingly called them Sparrow, describing them as the perfect assasins. They could hide in open fields, never notisible until nearly stepped on, quick on their feet and most interestingly of all, they fought in a pack, moving together and anticipating eachothers' atacks. they wore their red scarves, with two sparrows embroidered on them to represent Jada and Ben who had been lost in their struggle for survival, proudly.
It was not surprising When relationships formed among them, after all it was instinct for them to re-produce. Mating was just another naturaly stage in their lives.
Zell was currently walking the halls of the manour, flicking his deadly needles between his fingers. He had just come from a sparing match with Mik and was quite satisfied with the results. Now he needed an outlet for his energy till Mik cooled down.
Eliot to had chnaged in this time. She really enjoyed her time with Warren, although at times she was a little uncomfortable with the attention he recieved.
She now wore white decorated robes, finding that her silks were no longer suited to her life style. Although she stuill kept her weapens strapped about her person. She didn't realyl seem to need them when Warren was around. So she had taken to attacking him out of the blue (or what she pervieved to be out of the blue) to keep her skills and instinct sharp.

Leaf sighed, her head on one hand. She had not spoken much since finding her friend, and neither had he. They sat together in a stone silence. The battle had hurt the Penisnula greatly and Leaf felt the loss quite personally. Little known to everyone else, she kept long and lengthy lists in her head. The name of every Purian, the names of the ones who had died, the names of the ones who still lived. One list continued to grow shorter, the other longer.
Bran, Greg, Illa, Siv, Skat, Twig, she started to go through the list again. Nan, K'lan, Rain, Silver, River, Star, Emma. How coould she remeber all these names? Da, Dezz, Mercy, Main, Eya, Vlan, Chis, strange names the Purians had adapted. They had always said they would only carry real, evlen names when they once again reached the surface. Did anyone remeber those anymore. She glance once at Fin....and put him in the list of the living.
Aella was walking slowly, not because she didn't want the bracers to take her too quickly, but becuase she was too tired. The strain from being careful had exaughsted her strengths on the way to the Peninsula, they way back had been painful. She let her empty back pack fall from her shoulders, and fell into an armed chair that was in the main hallway.
Warren and Eliot right now were walking down a street in Honoursfeild, looking around and relaxing mostly. The last little while had been busy for the both of them.
"I think I need to make a trip to the Triumverate Fortress."

Zell came across Aella rather quickly, he could smell her from quite a ways away.
"Aella?? Hey are you alright?" He jumped up onto the arm of the chair and crouched there. He touched her forehead with the back of his hand, afarid that she migth be getting sick.
Eliot looked at him curiously. "You do? what for?... and does "I" mean I'm stsying home this time?" She enjoyed there time together, but occasionaly Warren needed to go on his trips without her. She hoped not, she worried when he went out of town.

Aella smiled, trying not to flinsh when Zell brought his hand close to her forehead. She had to settle herself down too, because he was sitting so close to her.
"I'm alright Zell, thanks for asking. I'm just relaly tired. But if I sleep now, my muscles will sieze up."
Warren made a niose in the back of his throat. "Hmm? Oh no, no it's fine if you want to come. I eed to enquire after the children that are there...and ask soemthing of a certain someone."

Onyx of course was watching. Hatred had festered long in him for Zell. He never forgot what he was called, and he never cooled the anger from it. Part of him didn't want to. Anger fueled him, fed him, kept him warm when Aella was not about. of course he was also up to four showers a day now. Most thought he was only vain and preening, but there were other reasons. Reasons he didn't like, but also found somewhat comforting in a strange way.
But right now he was simply watching, eyes burning at Zell, but he was also concerned for Aella's well being. he just couldn't trust himself to be around Zell for longer than a minute without wanting to rip his claws out of his fingers.
Malik nodded some to Piper and a pat to his son's back.
"It's a start of a new world for you, son. and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as the rest of us in this area. Though I will be honest and tell you some elves never learn these things. they prefer to spend thier time mastering other things."
