Zykariel nodded sagely. "Nym is the same way. If you roll over onto his tail or pull it 'cause you're trying to get him, he'll bite. It hurts and bleeds." He stuffed the rest of his cookie in his mouth and swallowed some more milk. "But we can play with Circa and Eket. They're lots of fun too." But he didn't know where to find them and he doubted Malikhai did either. Last time they'd played with them, Miss Piper had called them. "Come on Malikhai."
It never dawned on him that there might be company since they'd left them tied on a desert island. He ran back into the sitting room. "Miss Piper, would you get Circa and Eket for us? Please? We won't pull their tails, I promise." Then he saw the strangers. The brakes were hit and he blinked big purple eyes, staring at them. Who were they? Manners and constant admonishment hit him in that moment and he lowered his eyes and studied his boots. "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt..." he mumbled as he moved to stand next to Piper and wait patiently.

Arthur sighed a little to himself, it has been awhile since he had returned to his home, he really didn't need to see anyone at the moment after the battle he was in with Malik; he had just lost again to the blue skin drow and if anyone else had heard about it he didn't want to talk to them about it that's for sure. Sighing lightly he tossed his book on the table and took off his coat and turned it over to see the area which Malik struck him to see how back the tear was, by the looks of it covered mostly his lower right side; just to stab him in the gut and not do too much damage to him. Sighing lightly he tossed his coat and shirt across him onto another chair and snuggled back into his chair. After a few minutes of staring off to the wall he thought of Zahara, it seemed that she wasn't coming over tonight but it wouldn't hurt to have a chat right? So Arthur quickly climbed out of his chair and walked to his room until he was at his night stand, he then opened the draw to reveal a normal looking sac, grabbing it he untied the little rope which kept it closed and dumped the contents on to his hand. What he had in there was a link crystal that he would use sometimes, mostly rare, to contact Zahara for the hell of it. She had one too if she ever wanted to contact him and there were times where she did. So gripping it lightly in his hand he focused on the crystal until it activate, with a light smile on his face Arthur slowly brought the crystal to his lips and said. "Hey Zahara, you there?" There were times when she never answered and vise a versa because they maybe busy or something like that, so using the link crystal to contact the other had a fifty fifty chance of actually working.

"Okay." Fishing out his last cookie and snarfing it down, followed by gulping down his milk quickly. He had learned a while ago that he really wasn't supposed to leave the table without finishing his food, but more importantly his milk. That counted for snacks too. "Thanks Keely!"
Thus wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and then wiping his hands on his pants, he slid out of the chair to the ground and trotted off after Zykariel, more or less bumping into his friend at the sudden breaks. "Hey..." Before his attention turned to what had caused the breaks, oh look at that, strangers. And he took up Zykariel's idea, moving over by his parents and lightly hiding behind thier legs, being shy again.
She shook her head at the ever peculiar way that Warren had about him. "Meet the children?" Well that was something wasn't it? Couldn't see anything wrong with that...well unless they had a tantrum or something. But Malikhai was usually shy in front of strangers. "Well, Sevilin isn't here right now but I do have Zykariel today, he's staying the night with Malikhai." Her attention turning to said children as they came upon the group of adults. "Speaking of said children..." Givning a little laugh as they both came to more or less gather around her at the sight of strangers. A reach down to Zykariel, pushing him forward and then fishing out Malikhai, pushing him to stand next to his friend. "Boys, this is Mr. Warren, and Miss Eliot...want to introduce yourselves?"
Malikhai looked back to his parents as if he really didn't want to, toeing the floor with his boot in his own shyness. New people were always met this way, he just wasn't old enough to not be. But he did take a moment to look at them, taking in the features of both. ANother look to his parents before he got an encouraging look back and then thoguht for a moment about how he supposed to do this, and looked back to Eliot and Warren. He gave a little nod like his father often did, and took a little breath. "I'm Malikhai D'vinn, it's nice to mee you." There! He did it! Yay! Back to being shy.

Warren merely smiled at the little parade. How weren't they cute? And he enver thought he'd think those things about children. But then, he thought anything living was cute these days.
He ebnt down to be at Malikhai's hight. "Well hello there, Malikhai. You don't have to call me Mr Warren, just Warren. We're friends you and I, though you might not think so just now. We've met once before, but you probably won't remeber that." Souls were tricky.
And look to the other child, the one with the purple eyes. "And who are you, little master?"

Zykariel dug his heels into the stone floor to keep from being pushed forward, not that it did much good because Miss Piper got him right where she wanted him to be. He looked up at the two standing before him and gave a Sevilin grin, then a bow. "Zykariel Inthara, pleasure to meet you." Then a tilt of his head at Eliot. "But I like meeting pretty ladies, especially when they're as pretty as you." Yes, he had inherited his father's charm. He stepped back as well, knowing exactly what to do now would be to just wait.
Zahara heard the crystal going off and lifted her head from where it had finally plopped against Sevilin's chest, where she'd finally been half drifting into reverie. Grabbing the stone, she heard Arthur's voice and sighed softly. "Hello Galesen. What can I do for you?"

Eliot smiled immediatly. "Hello Malikhia D'Vinn. I'm Eliot. Do you want to try and pronoucne my pack name? Its lots of fun." She growled deep in her throat that ended in a low kind of whine.
She looked at the other boy and blushed. 'Well thank you very Much Zykariel Inthara. Thats a very kind thing to say. You and your friend are both handsome boys, just like their fathers."

Arthur paused for a moment when he heard Zahara's voice, she seemed tired and kind of upset when she spoke back to him, scratching his head lightly Arthur began to pace around the room as he tried to find te right words to say. "Well sorry if I am interrupting something, but I was sitting in my chair and then I just wondered if you want to meet up tomorrow or something? But if you don't want to talk then I'll leave you alone for the night" Arthur smacked his head a little and sighed, that was just bad now wasn't it?

He did draw back the slightest bit as Warren dropped down but he tried to be brave, facing this new little experience. After all, he didn't look so scary now did he? And neither did Eliot. Though he was very greatful for his friend, whom being older often acted as his protector even if it was by only a few scant months, and side stepped to be standing a bit closer for comforts sake. "Okay Warren." But yes a tilt of his head at Warren as he spoke of already knowing him, he didn't remember Warren, but grown ups wouldn't lie about that, so he must be right.
And then his attention turned to Eliot as she addressed him. She had a lot of enthusiasm in her voice and that made her likeable...didn't make him any less shy but spunky attitudes were always good around children. His little blue ears twitched at the sound and he blinked. Could he make that noise. Okay let's give it a try. Thus his best little dragon growl that he knew before trying to couple it with that whine sound, but only managing to make himself hiccup...and giggling to that.
Piper gave a giggle at both boys, watching rather fondly as they went about working on thier PR skills. And look at that, Malikhai had that knack for mimicing things. Oh that would come in handy...or become a new way to cause trouble.
That only caused laughter from him as well at he covered his hand with his mouth to try and hide his giggling. "You swallowed." Because they understood how hiccups came about, they both learned that the hard way. Reaching an arm over and drapping it over his friendn's shoulder, hugging him in hapy child manner because he did indeed have hiccups now. Not to mention the want to keep him safe when he wasn't feeling too brave on his own.
Big purple eyes went back to Eliot though and he gave a little nod. Sure, he'd try to make a nosie. And like his friend, he got the growl out, though he ended in a little cute snort when trying to make the whine noise instead of hiccups. Though he gave another grin acquired from his father to Eliot as she more or less fluffed his ego. He liked being compared to his father, after all, no one in the underdark was better than daddy. But a point to her. "Your cheeks are all red, how come?" He wasn't used to seeing blushing after all.
"I wanna try again!" Thus trying it again and getting somewhat of a similar sound out this time. After all, it would be in his genes to mimic animal sounds, the wood elf blood in him granting him that much.
Sev shifted a little in bed at the voice that broke the silence in the room. Oh goodie, Arthur's voice. Sometimes he hated link crystals. But he merely shook his head and shifted into a more comfortable position as she answered the blasted thing. Hm...his ears were kinda sore...
((Stars had gone to dinner, so I took Zykariel for a moment))

Malik didn't really hug back, but his eyes found Warren's even under his hood. and all that came across malik's face was a slightly devilish halfgrin.
"Make sure our children are healthy. and meeting my son from before eh. Seems both fallen dieties have been replaced with male counterparts."
Tarathiel had become the new lord of chaos, and seems Warren was the 'earth father' embodiment.
"So for what purpose does my child's health draw your attention, Warren?"

"That's a good lad." Warren chuckled and stood, glad that Eliot was getting along with the children so well. She always got along with children.
"Glad to see they are so very eager for life." No one could tell if his smile reached his eyes, because of the dark shadow across them. But lets just say it did.
"How was your pregnancy Piper? Have the boys been ill at all? Do their bones look strong?" Odd questions maybe, but he'd tryed his best. Besides...these kids were his first attempts.
He looked at Malik, said nothing on one subject. "I think I cause a lot of stress at one point in your lives. Just come to....alieviate that. Checking on your son is part of that proccess."
Moonstone finished administering a shot to Aella, one that would help her regain some of her strength as well. Because you know, she hadn't slept yet and he was kind of worried for her. He looked at Rusty and raised an eyebrow. "You looking for something?"
Aella waved a bit to Onyx as he came in. "You sure took off in a hurry."

((And now I'm back. *huggles Frac* Thanks.))
Zahara shook her head. Where had he gotten that from? She hadn't been moaning or anything else when she'd answered him. If she were she could see him asking if he had interrupted something. "Not at all. I was just half drifting off into reverie that's all." A yawn as she snuggled deeper against Sevilin. Would she be coming over tonight? It didn't seem likely. She was quite comfortable where she was and she had a small rule that stated she never went straight from one bed to another. But that really wasn't what he was asking though he was just in a covert kind of way. "Tomorrow..hmm? I think I could probably swing something." She ran over her schedule in her mind briefly. "What did you have in mind?" She'd have to ask Sevilin if he was planning on working tomorrow because that would impact any plans made as well.

Arthur blinked a few times and sighed again, he knew it she was going to sleep when he called; sometimes Arthur had the worse timing any elf could ever have. "You were? Oh sorry about that Zahara I'll be careful when I use this thing again next time." Well with the way he was talking it seemed like he was embarrassed to use the stupid crystal, but it wasn't that he was just nervous that he had interrupted Zahara's sleep that's all, the drow loved her sleep and when she wants her sleep she will get her sleep. Though when Zahara had replied to him again Arthur was scratching his head a little bit trying to think of what to say. "Well you know the usual, maybe we can go for a ride again how about that?" He asked as he stopped pacing the room and leaned against his night stand.

Eliot looked to Zykariel. "Well, my face is read becasue you gave me a very nice compliment that I wasn't expecting. I'm very flattered by it." She smiled warmly at both of them as they continued to say her pack name. She repeared it a couple of times for them until they more or less had it right. annunciation wasn't perfect but they were speaking another language after all.
"You guys are pretty good! Would you liek to learn more of my language? But first I'll show you guys a neat trick!" She pretended to conentrae real hard, and then she let her wolf nose "pop" onto her face."

Malik calculating as always wasn't he? Well that was just him and he had his moments where he was just as protective, if not more, over his son as he was with her. Though her attention pulled away from Malik and up from the boys and back to Warren. Well that was a slightly odd personal question, now wasn't it? "Um, as well as could be I guess you could say..." That was being positive about it...she sometimes called it a hell of discomfort and pilgrimages to the proceiln god. But hey it was worth it. Piper crossed her arms lightly and shook her head. "No, haven't been sick really...had thier fair share of scrapes and falls and grouchy moods, the occassional upset stomach and what not, but not really ill...and well they haven't broken anything...yet at least."
Well he was just proud of himself now wasn't he? Yes, very much so. And he did that oh so cute little hold head high and puff out chest thing that young boys often did when they thought they were just so good. Ears twitching again at her voice, one of those little signs of his that he was paying attention to her voice, and he watched her again. A trick? Big silvery eyes going a bit wider when her nose seemed to change...well that was something completely new now wasn't it? "How'd you do that?" Was it like the stuff downstairs? Though his attention breifly flitted to his mother, reaching a hand up to tug at the edge of her tunic, "Mommy, the dragons." Young minds never on one thing at a time.
Sevilin rolled his eyes before giving a light sigh and propping his arm behind his head for a little bit more support. This elf...he sounded like a child through that stone and it wasn't some funny voice affect...stumbling over his sentences and what not. Yes, that's just what he wanted to hear right now wasn't it? One red eye opened to survey over Zahara a moment as she shifted for a moment.
