Delighted was not exactly the correct word to describe the little boy. He was ecstatic. He reached up and grabbed the stuff, hugging it to his chest. "You remembered!" He dropped the articles and threw himself against his father, hugging him tightly. "Thanks Daddy, you're the absolute best!"
He shook his head and once again pushed himself to be standing in between Sevilin's spread knees. "It's not fun to be all alone but sometimes you just have to do it." He leaned against his pants leg and grinned. "You gotta eat dinner too. Mother hates it when you don't eat, remember Daddy? And don't let her have that stuff that makes her act funny. I don't like that stuff at all..."

"Errp.." Moonstone didn't have much to say on the subject, but watched Rusty with a bit of interest.
"I'll take that as a compliment, borther." He smiled.
Meilikki rolled up one sleeve. "You can hardley stand, young feline. An infusion might save your life." She wasn't going to tell the new guest that there was two kinds of infusions. One that involved a needle, and one that was ingested orally. If he hadn't made a fuss, she would have just given him the potion.
She fetched a small glass bottle with a hide top on it, and a bone needle. "It won't tale a moment. Moonstone, would you please? You are the doctor."
Aella just followed. SHe didn't like needles either.
Warren set them down close to the Fortress enterance, not wanting to surprise anyone too badly.
"I'm not really certain how elves age. They are old enough at least."

"I be the best student you've ever had daddy!" more or less yelled as he hugged his father around the neck. Because he just loved to impress his father. In fact he loved to earn that show of praise from both his parents, always trying to make sure he did something that got him that attention he wanted. And a tilt of his head as he thought on what would hurt Malik. "Like a dragon?" Because they were big. really big. Guesses in the dark.
But a giggle and a squirm at being poked, seeing as he was quite ticklish, before just settling for the trip back upstairs, new plaything brought with them. Oh wouldn't Zykariel be pleased with that. A look up at his father, giving a little nod and hugging his legs before he turned and more or less bolted out of the room. "ZYKARIEL! GUESS WHAT!" Didn't know where his companion was, but yelling easily found thim.
Piper turned her attention to the stairs as she was coming out of the dinning room at the yelling just as Malikhai was about to hit the stairs. "Don't you even think about running down those stairs Malikhai D'vinn." Watching the boy more or less screech to a halt, pout, and then walk downstairs. "Zykariel is in the library." And watching him bolt off again before her attention turned to a servent to in turn informed her of thier guests. Oh how lovely.
"I always remember. Pirate garb and the fact that Zahara doesn't like it when I don't eat," throwing on the pity look for his son, "She yells at me more about it than she yells at you when you leave your toys in the kitchen." Giving a nod to the boy's mention of alcohol, or rather the reference to when Zahara had just too much and got tipsy or all out drunk. Last time that had happened, Sevilin had kicked her out of the house in the middle of the night.
"Oh don't worry, things won't fall apart if you're gone for one day, rest assured." Taking his tri cornered feathered hat from him and plopping it on the boy's head. "You just have fun and you remember to eat your own dinner and mind your manners. Don't cause too much trouble." His attention turning up as Malikhai poked his head into the room.

Eliot smiled. "I'm sure someone already knows that we're here. You know that sword of Mailk's pretty much has a mind of its own. And children always see things that adults don't" She walked up to the door and stood there a moment. not sure what to do. "So... do I knock?..."

"It's even worse when she trips on them before I get a chance to pick them up. Which happens sometimes but sometimes she just yells too much. I don't know why, I just know she does." The hat flopped down over his eyes the way it was designed too and he grinned up at his father through an overly long, rather ticklish red feather.
His ears twitched at the sound of his name hollered from somewhere in the house adn he suddenly decided he'd had enough of grown up time. "Yes Daddy. I'll be good. Now go!" Getting behind him and pushing his legs to get him moving. "IN THE BOOK ROOM!" he hollered back and then grinned as Khai popped up. "I know! I get to stay here with you tonight!" Because naturally he thought Malikhai had initiated it.
Zahara surveyed the table, pleased at the way it had come out. So far, so good. She should pour the wine...but she wasn't going to. Getting drunk would ruin her plans and she needed her plans to go just the way she wanted them too. Instead she pulled out the potatoes and plopped one on Sevilin's plate, then her own and pulled out the steak, checking to see if it was finished. Five more minutes, or thereabouts. Closing her eyes for a moment, she let the aromas bring a smile to her lips and take away all her worries, about Arthur and love and anything else she just didn't want to think about.

"Gah! Hey! Keep that thing away from me!!" His voice was bursting of energy and loud tonality which was surprising considering the amount of blood he had lost. He struggled to try and get away but within a few seconds only he felt his body become heavy again. He just didn't have the energy to run away.
Even though Rusty would have to go through with the proccedure he wouldn't behave. Well as little as he could. With his strenght so low he couldn't do much more than look really mad. So he left a frown and a few fangs showing to show he wasn't happy.

He gave a chuckle as his son suddenly got impatient with him and told him to go. Apparently it was time for grown ups to go away. Well he had no problem with it, besides, he was feeling rather lazy right now and though spending the rest of the day and then night at home wouldn't be a bad idea. Just laze around, yup. So a pat to his son's head. "Don't yell like that."
A look over to Malikhai who was still just peeking through the door. "You boys have fun, Malikhai tell someone I've left so your parents know, all right?" Looking back to his son, patting him on the head again. "If you need anything you know how to get me." Giving him a hug and pressing a kiss to his hair before stepped back from him and with a hand gesture and flare of runic light, he was gone...and reappeared right back in his own home's foyer. Instantly his nose twitched. Was she home making dinner already?
Sevilin was a tad bit intimidating to the child. He was always quiet unlike his own parents and always seemed to be standing in the background. That creeped him out for some reason. But with his departure, he popped into the room, trotting up to his friend. And blinked in confused manner. "You get to stay here tonight? That's great! But I have something else to twll you too!" He paused a moment in excitment, looking around as if he didn't want anyone else to know. "We have real pirate treasure."

"Bye!" He watched his dad disappear in the same way he'd done it as long as Zykariel could remember, and that was a long way. Zara rode everywhere, daddy blipped in and out. "Yup, I sure do." He blinked for a moment, studying his friend. "Real pirate treasure? Can we play with it? Where did you get it? Can you show it to me?"
She had randomly decided that the salad didn't have nearly enough carrots. So she pulled out a few more and began slicing. Then the thought struck that they didn't eat corn much anymore because Zykariel practically threw a fit if it went to the table. Some nights she overrode it and some nights she just indulged him. Should she make corn? Back to chopping carrots and then for some other odd reason, Arthur popped up into her head and she sighed. She still had a little while, Sevilin wasn't due back for another hour at least. Dinner would be in that amount of time, so the steaks would cook just a bit longer. She should go get ready. Making her way upstairs, she slowly undressed as she went, running the water for a bath, cleaning herself up and pulling on a robe after her bath, finger combing her damp hair. Thank the gods it was short. But she had to pull the steaks out and make sure they didn't burn, so down the stairs she headed, muttering to herself until she smacked into Sevilin's back when he materialized in front of her. "Ow..." A blink. "What in the name of the gods are you doing here?"

"Real pirate treasure." He mimicked back to his friend. Oh yes it was quite and exciting thing. "When you and mommy left, daddy took me to a place I had never been before and I met Broog. He makes all of mommy's jewelry." Yes to him, that's what Broog was. "But he also makes other stuffs too and daddy had him make me," Another pause in excitement too. "Real armor, just like daddy's." Pulling his friend close then and whispering too. "And a sword, but don't tell mommy."
Letting him go and taking a step back, but enough about that, back to the treasure. "Anyway since he makes mommy's jewelry he's got lots of left overs and I talked him out of a chest of the stuff so we could use it in our games! Daddy put it upstairs in the nursery for us, because it's really heavy. But it's all real! No more pretend treasure!"
He barely swayed when he was more or less walked in to, only turned his attention over his shoulder to Zahara...who apparently was in the middle of a bath and dinner at the same time. That woman, he swore. "I live here?" Giving her a grin and then a dismissive wave of his hand. "Malikhai wanted Zykariel to stay the night and you know how those two get when they get the urge to play, no need for adults." A little shrug. "And I was feeling a little lazy today so I thought I might as well come on home and just relax. Children can be trying at times after all, right? Don't worry, I'll stay out of your way."

Zykariel listened, slightly skeptical at first but getting progressively more and more excited. His head bobbed, the feather moving as well and then he grinned. "That's great." Real pirate treasure. Just imagine what they could do with that! He started to head towards the nursery, wanting to see this treasure for himself.
But apparently his friend wasn't through telling him the good news and he stopped in his tracks as we was grabbed and started listening again. Purple eyes widened. "You got armor? And a sword?! A real one, not like the wooden ones we play with? Wow Khai, you're really lucky." Of course Malikhai's words caused him to frown. "Why can't I tell your mother?" That wasn't computing right in his little brain.
A shake of her head and then she nodded. Piper had indeed delivered the message, Zykariel was the D'vinn's responsibility for the night. That was nice to know, now wasn't it? "Well, you're just home early and it...surprised me." And would probably ruin her surprise for him as well, but that was the way things went sometimes. She disappeared into the kitchen and picked up that bottle of wine that she'd hidden away in the cabinet and a glass and brought it out to him. Taking a seat on the arm of the couch, she held it out to him and grinned. "Look at what I found. at the marketplace..go on, have a taste, or really splurge and have a whole glass."

"Because I'm not supposed to mess with real ones yet, she thinks I'm too little and will get angry." Thus grabbing his friend's hand. "Come on!" Giving a tug and then starting into a hurried pace, tugging his friend along with him and thus upstairs to the nursery, which Malik had vacated by this point, and Malikhai pulled his friend over to the chest. "Go on, open it." So it would be a surprise to his friend too.
"I tend to do that." Shaking his head as she walked back off to the kitchen, and he relocated himself to the sitting room, plopping down on the proclaimed 'evil couch'. Good for sitting, not for laying or taking reverie on...unless of course you were sitting when you were doing it. Though his attention was brought back to her as she reappeared in the room and perched on the arm of the couch, holding out a glass and a bottle of wine.
He looked at both before taking the bottle with a look to her and reading the labeling in that inspecting manner. "You know I don't drink." Him and alcohol didn't play well together, though he did entertain a dance with the ill suited partner. But a look back at her, what she wasn't going to have any? Though he figured he'd oblidge her, seeing as she probably wanted to talk to him about something or was going to ask for something like a new stable or something like that that he would say no to.
So then, opening up the bottom he took the glass from her as well and poured himself one, setting the bottle aside on the side table next to him. "I suppose I can oblidge you with one glass." Thus indeed taking a drink from the glass and giving a look of surprise to it really. Usually he didn't like the taste too much or he merely tasted nothin. But this actually tasted good. "So...what's on your mind then?"

Being tugged along didn't bother him, he was often the one doing the tugging himself when he found something of interest or excitement that he thought someone else might enjoy as well. So he followed along behind him and over to that chest. Getting down on his knees before it, he opened the chest and grinned. Scooping his hands into the bits and pieces of jewelry he lifted them and let them rain back down through his fingesr into the chest, turning to Malikhai with a big grin. "Arr Cap'n, we're bloody rich!"
"Yes but I think you might want to try this." And then he did and her lips twitched. She knew he would like that stuff, that was the good stuff. Of course he'd die if he knew how much steel she'd had to fork over for it but her philosophy from the market hadn't changed- what Sevilin didn't know couldn't hurt him. She stayed in her spot on the couch for a few moments and shook her head. It was on the tip of her tongue to pour out her anxiety in regards to Arthur but she swallowed it and took a breath. "Are you hungry?"

He clapped his hands together in delight. "I told you!" Oh yes, it was an exciting thing. After all, this chest of rejects was a new plaything for the two and it was sure to make games all the more fun. "And we can use it other times to. Like to pay our ransoms, and for the dragon to hoard, and for the prize at the end of the dungeon." Rattling off a multitude of ideas that were popping up into his head and making it all the more appealing. "Though Nym will proabably try to steal it."
He gave her a skeptical look as she merely disregarded his own question and countered with another. Hm, she must of had something on her mind that she was reluctant to ask about...probably Zykariel. Or she was going to mention movnig out because he was old enough now or something like that. Something that he probably would only get frustrated in hearing...well he didn't want to stir that boiling pot just yet. "I suppose so, I skipped lunch. Break out the chicken nuggets." Gods knew that was about the only quick food in the house...oh how he hated chicken nuggets...kid food. Getting himself up, fully intending to go fetch his own dinner. "I've got it, you can go back to whatever it was your were doing." And then he could clean the house after he ate. Good plan.

"That's okay, he just becomes the thief and we go chase him down. Or we use him to steal from the bad guys. Or we could even be explorers and find it that way too.' Oh yes, the possiblities of this treasure were literally endless. "Besides, if we get really upset, Nym gives it back. He doesn't like to upset me. And he's not here right now anyway, he's at home with Mother and Daddy." A brief pause and he tilted his head at Malikhai. "So what are we going to do first?"
She shook her head and stood up, grabbing his arm before he could head into the kitchen. Of course that wouldnt' stop him physically but he would stop and glance at her with a raised eyebrow, wondering just what she was doing. "We're not having chicken nuggets tonight. Since Zykariel is at Malik and Piper's I thought you could benefit from a real meal. An adult meal." Nodding at the wine glass she smiled. "That was just the beginning. You came home a little early, so I didn't quite get to finish preparing. Let me go get out of this robe adn then we can eat Stay out of the kitchen and dining room until I get back." She slipped out of the room and came back a few moments later, clad in the yellowish cream dress she'd picked up in Andal, thanks to Isle. " A raised eyebrow at him as seh walked back in, dressed now for dinner. "Ready? Then come on." Thus she led the way into the lavishly set up dining room and walked over to the stove, pulling out those steaks and plopping two of them on his plate. "Surprise."

Onyx only smirked lightly at Rusty, and shook his head lightly.
"Stubborn as a mule."
But then ran a hand over his head, and looked at it, frowning a bit. thank goodness it wasn't easy to see in black fur.
"I think I need to get a shower. if anyone wants to join me feel free."
and Onyx went to his little semi subterranean den, and into his own built in shower and took a nice long one, making sure the stuff that was coming off him didn't clog anything or the like.
Malik took all of about ten seconds to realize whom was here. though why wasn't as clear. So malik made his way down toward the main doors, and opened them himself.
"Warren. Eliot. How nice of you to drop by. Come on in."
