Zykariel plopped on Malik's legs to keep him from getting out but Malikhai seemed to have it well in hand so he got up and let go of his sword, then crossed back over to their ship and threw himself at Piper's legs.
"No ye'll not be going anywhere without taking me with ye oracle! Arr." He was sitting on Piper's boots, holding her legs tightly. Of course she could probably untangle him from her if she really wanted to...but why would she? "Are you going to help us find our treasure?"
Zahara rolled her eyes and was about to defend herself when she decided to just let it alone. They both knew she had those moments so denying it really wasn't going to get her anywhere. She watched him, then reached over and encircled his wrist with her slim fingers. "Zykariel?" Wait, what about the boy? Had something occurred of that she hadn't been informed of? No, Sevilin wouldn't do that to her. She scooted a bit closer to him, her hip leaning right against his thigh as her eyes softened and took on that 'motherly' look even though she had not a clue it was happening. "You really do worry too much Sev. But what about him? Not still worrying about that magic thing he's got going on are you?"

"Alright, alright, you win, the treasure is yers."
siad in the 'I hate saying it but don't have an option' voice. Hey he coudl boost his son's ego. that was perfectly allowed. of course mental link to Piper.
what about that one in the hall? something wrong?
Though he waited paitently, resting his head on his hand, adn drumming his fingers on the 'ship' deck with the other. had to look the beaten, and not happy about it pirate captian, now didn't he.

Throwing his hands up, "Yay! We win!" giving a giggle where he still sat on his father quite contentedly. Ah victory was indeed sweet wasn't it? Then of course daddy got a hug around his neck for being a good sport about it. Ever the affectionate child to his parents after all. And he slid off his father's back to more or less be sitting beside him. "Okay you can get up now but you have to help up and do what we say or we'll make you walk the plank and join my boots."
"Ack." Said as the child who flung himself into her rocked her balance, even as he sat on her boots, making her plop down to the 'deck' as well, sitting there at the mercy of little Captain Zykariel as he stayed put on her boots. She crossed her arms on her knees and rested her chin on her arms, beign eye level with Zykariel. "Oh I suppose I have no choice now do I?" Having that little defeated tone about her. "Warren and his friend is all, the help getting anxious about it." Because they knew Malik didn't like it when 'people were kept waiting'. But hey, they knew they were there and she merely had Keely inform the rest of that. Malik's family came before those that dropped by. Playing with his son included.
He looked down to his wrist, her fingers and hand holding there as if she thought he was going to get up and walk away from her as he did sometimes when he really didn't want to deal with something. His passive attitude. Though looking back up to her eyes he really wished he hadn't and took a moment to hold in perhaps a negative comment on that look in contrast to how she acted. Though he was quick to latch to the provided excuse as opposed to what he was really thinking. After all, he didn't want to stir her own thoughts on that.
"I...guess I am. You know me I just have to obsessively worry about him. Though you know it can't really be helped now can it? He's got it and that's all there is to it. I suppose I'm just a little anxious because I'm more likely than not going to let him do this magic thing with Malikhai."

He was a little worried for amoment that she'd hurt herself by that noise but then seemed to be okay so Piper got a half crooked grin and nodded. "Yer right about that oracle!" He reached over and picked up another length of rope, retying and knotting the rope around her wrists. "Ye'll be tied in the front one more time and if ye escape again, it'll be hands behind yer back with ye. Now, up ye go and take us to the treasure! We won, we get it."
Climbing off her boots, he stood up and grabbed onto that rope. "Come on Malikhai. The oracle is going to take us to the treasure." Shaking her bonds and picking up his sword. "And no funny business."
She let go of his wrist and moved to sit next to his side, resting her head closer to his chest. "It's going to be fine Sevilin. He's going to learn how to control it and then you won't have to worry about him spiking or hurting himself or Malikhai. Besides, Malik's teachers know what they're doing but if you really don't like it, don't let him do it. Teach him yourself so you know it gets done right. Or let me do it."

"Of course, Captian."
A slight smirk, getting himself up and nodding to Piper.
I'll entertain the guests in a moment. we'll just do a uick ending for this, and we'll see what Warren wants. Though I can imagine a few reasons for his visit.
Picking up his cane, and using it just like one, giving himself a limp like he got a leg injury..after all, he did get wacked with a wooden sword across the backs of his knees.
"the Hellion is at your service, Captain."

And she allowed the boy to tie her wrists again, getting up once he had gotten up off of her boots. "Crystal clear, Captain." Giving a little giggle as he gave a tug to her and what not. They just thought they were so big and bad now didn't they? Giving a fond look over to Malik. "Don't worry, I watched them 'bury' thier new playthings earlier. I am indeed an oracle in this situation." Thus giving one of those defeated sighs. "Woe is me, I have but not choice but to tell you." A breif moment on how to translate 'stuffed in the cushions of the various furiniture in the sitting room' into pirate lingo. "The treasure is in the southern isle, scattered among them. You'll have to do a lot of digging." A smirk to Malik. "Doesn't he get tied up too?"
Malikhai gave that triumphant smile, oh so pleased with the way things were going, standing there all proud like. It was adorable really. And a nod to his father. "Very well, you get to stay a stranger to the sharks yet another day." Looking to Zykariel breifly and waiting for his mother's answer as the oracle that she was in this game. Though a look between his parents. "You're right." fetching another length of rope that they used in play and Malik got the same wrist tying treatment before Malikhai fetched his sword again and took hold of the rope tied to Malik's wrists, raising his sword. "Onward!" Which of course meant said adults were going to get dragged out of the nursery and downstairs so they could fetch what they hid earlier.
He sighed lightly as he more or less dodged a bullet, looking down to her slightly as she rested against him in comfortable gesture. "Yes I know, but you know how I just can't help myself." She'd chalk it up to his little obsessive compulsive tendencies that he had. He was fine with that. "No offense, but I don't want him learning too much from us...after all we were taught in harsh direct and unforgiving ways." Hey it was the truth wasn't it? "Besides, he needs the exposure to other people. And I can't cut into your time anymore than I am already with the frequent babysitting requests."

Zykariel puffed out his chest like the big, bad pirate he was and poked his sword into Piper's back. "Don't ye worry none about him. Ye just focus on getting us our loot." A brief pause while he waited for Malikhai to tie up Malik and then grinned. "Lead on Oracle but remember, I've got me eye on ye." Tapping her lightly in the back with the sword. Malikhai could take care of Malik. Thus down the stairs with them and into the 'sitting' area.
"Scattered around the southern isle." Pointing to one of the couches, he nodded though kept a tight hold on the rope around Piper's wrist. "Well, I be thinkin' the good ole evil captain should do our digging for us. What say you Captain Malikhai?"
He was such a funny elf sometimes. Always worrying or cleaning or being himself. It was an admirable thing really how much he worried for his son but sometimes he just overdid it. "That's fine though I do feel the need to point out that magic, despite the method used to teach or learn, is universal and you know that I wouldn't put into play the ways that I was taught. I wouldn't want him discovering things the way I did either." She shuddered lightly at the thought of him accidentally hurting something. He'd be just as upset as she had been though he would get comfort from Sevilin. She'd gotten smacked for crying about the creature she'd fried. "We've been through this, it's really not an issue. He's not hard to watch and you have to work. Stop stressing about it or I'll be forced to give you another massage and hten you'll be at the mercy of my hands once again." She really hoped he didn't take that the wrong way though...

Malik only smirked lightly.
"Trust boy...is hard earned and easily misplace. ye think I'll trust ye not to maroon me, any more than ye'll trust me not ta take yer loots and run?"
A slight grin, and a nod to a hidden figure only he coudl see, before the area was covered in illusion again to a deserted island. and illusionary shovled laying by the covers of the pillows. Warren and Eliot? hidden in illusion, just like Malik and the others were hidden from thier sight. at least mortal sight. who knows what kind of visionary power Eliot or Warren actually had.

Of course following his friend, tugging Malik along behind him eventually getting to where they wanted to be. "I don't think so, he may turn on us and try to steal it all for himself." Giving a tug on the rope to make Malik walk over to Zykariel and Piper then taking the rope Zykariel had, first tying Malik's to Piper's and then Piper's to the arm of a chair. So then they were effectively tied together. "There, no we don't have to worry about them too much and we can take turns watchign them, I'll get some treasure while you watch and then we switch, okay? Let's get our treasue." And of course oh so delighte as the illusions kept up, though he didn't really know the source or anything of the sort. It was just fun.
Piper rolled her eyes lightly as she was poked in her lower back with the pointy end of a wooden sword. "Right, no funny stuff." And thus following like a good little captive. Even if they left that realm of illusions upon leaving the nursery, the boys were so entrapt in thier game that they didn't mind the loss, but Malik seemed to take care of that too, replacing setting for them. Though oh wasn't it horribly amusing as her and Malik were then tied together and then to the chair. A look to her husband with a giggle. "Why hello my dear thwarded captain."
Sevilin shook his head. "I know I know." Well it seemed he would be spared from her this time, not having his mind dug into and crawled around in about what he was really thinking, though that was just fine with him. Though he did turn a smirk on her then at her comment. "Who's at the mercy of who's hands now?" He wasn't keen on the sexual jokes but he had been known to make one from time to time if his mood proved well.

"Ah good thinking." He allowed Malikhai to tie up his parents and then Zykariel stood guard over them, watching them both closely, monitoring what they were saying just in case they were attempting an escape attempt. Of course he had no idea that they could speak to each other telepathically either. But that was alright with him, he thought he had them well in hand, his wooden sword pointed at them, arms crossed and violet eyes trained on every move they made. Indeed, great fun.
She chuckled in spite of herself and patted his chest lightly. "Mine if you don't watch yourself Lord Inthara. You may have been winning in that department the last.." how many times had it been? "However many times but I assure you, I can do it just as well and just as often as you can. Or I'll just use another way that I know of..." The way that had shocked and then delighted him the first time. But for now she shifted covertly in teh guise of getting comfortable and slowly moved her hand up until her fingers began to play with his ears. "I play to win, Sevilin. It would be a good idea to remember that," she whispered softly into that oh so sensitive elven appendage.

Malik watched Zykariel like a lion watches antelope. cunning, calculating, underlying viciousness. hey, if he was the bad guy, he woudl play the part. Occasionally his hands would shift, test, twitch.
"for an Oracle, lass..you sure do get yourself in stick situations, dno't you?"
A grin at his wife.
"Maybe after this, if we get through it...ye might enjoy some time in my cabin."

Thusly, Malikhai put his sword in his belt and went about searching through sand that was really couch cushions, but none the less fun, picking out pieces of what they called treasure, more aptly known as thier new shiny playthings. He would spend a few moments doing that before he would return to Zykariel with an arms full of goodies. "Your turn."
"Oh I have a sense of adventure and well, knowing all, one often finds themselves in such a situation. Especially when it comes to pirates." Wasn't this just a laughable thing, the two tied up to each other and a chair, being guarded by a child and the other fetching hidden things. Though giving a grin back, making the gold in her eyes spark just because. A sigh. "From one captian to another hm, tis a pirates life for me indeed. If I...enjoy some time in your cabin with you does that mean I get to be a pirate too?" It was amazing how easily you could talk over a child's head when you veiled it oh so nicely.
He merely wiggled his fingers at her in response in that mage like way that they often did. "Right." letting the arguement drop and shaking his head with somewhat of a snicker at her. "Play to win...more like cheat to win." Thusly demonstrated as she went for the ears and he more or less went braindead, eyes half closing. Oh that damn ears...she had learned to exploit that overly sensitive part of his body. Damn her. Goofy lopsided grin. "I never forget."

"Gotta watch them real close Malikhai, they're talking about playing cards and drinking rum like my daddy and Zara are doing right now." Thus he too skipped off to the couch to dig through cushions and pull out pieces of the jewelry until his tunic was full of the fun loot. Then he too came back and dumped it in the growing pile at their feet. "We need a chest or bag or something..."
She smirked lightly, "Cheating is just another way to play the game Sevilin dear. Besides, I learned from the very best...your rune mage fingers have met their match, Raven." Moving her fingers over his ears again. "Elves don't forget. An impossibility which in some cases has served me rather well," A bit more pressure to his ears before slipping down to his neck and she leaned in once again and nibbled lightly on the outer shell. "Like now.." If they kept going at this rate, things were going to get out of control quite quickly. "Can you handle another round?" Of course she had to back off from his ears before asking that, he had to be somewhat lucid to answer.

Rusty's hand covered the part of his body that had recieved the needle. His face still had the angryness to it but softer than before since his mind was starting to wander elsewhere.
He looked around still very confused. He didn't know what to do or say. He wasn't even sure which part of the town he was in. He started thinking about the goods he lost. Some herbs, mushrooms, a week's worth of seaweed, a rusted dagger, a few odd looking coins, few gems and a couple of stones that were worth a little bit of cash.
He let out a sigh and then looked around for something to write on and something to write with.
