Zykariel was having trouble reproducing the sounds, botching them really. It was hard for him to reproduce the sounds of Common for a new word that he had just learned. Like bestiary. But Khai seemed to be having a good time with it so he tried. Didn't do too well, but he tried.
Glancing down at Eket who was standing next to him, he patted the coq on the head and then once again tried to mimic the sound for cookie. And again, not too well but it was fun. "Okay!" Because when a grown up made a promise they usually kept it. "Maybe we can learn how to do it from the people downstairs and then teach you how to 'do' it so you can teach others that you want."
Really confused now she blinked as he clicked off the stone and the bright lights died. She set the crystal back on the nightstand and turned towards Sevilin, questions brimming in her mind. Why wouldn't she enjoy a picnic whether or not she'd cooked the food. "Do you get irritated when I cook all the time? Do you ever want to...do it yourself?" Sevilin couldn't cook and as far as she knew Arthur didn't know how to either. Yup, horribly confused. "I mean...if you really want to cook...I suppose I could...let you?" That was just odd. She cooked. The men didn't. Even Malik didn't cook.

Eliot smiled at their enthusiam and brightness. Children alway smade her feel so happy. "I love to learn new things, that would be wonderful. Keep trying to pronounce those words! it could come in handy if you ever have to talk to me." Eliot allowed her whole body to flow into its wolf form. because changing completely affected her vocal chords she could no longer talk to them, well at least for the moment anyways. She could always change just her vocal chords, but this way was much more fun.!
She sat down, because of her robes she was now a white, rather small wolf but one none the less. She yipped a greating.

Warren waggled a finger. "Think what you want Malik. But really, a deity? now your just flattering me." He his a smile behind a hand, cocking the other at the wrist in a flirty girl gesture.
Damn, he had to quell those little fears. It could stunt the boys development somehow. "Pff, nah. That kids are fine. Soul thing, territory stuff, planer corssings and pullings and rippings that you need not concern yourself with."
And now to something more serious, but he only shrugged. "I'd heard from a Laviathian priest that something very special was missing and the not so kinf water god shut down planer travel. Really not very nice of him. But I haven't a clue as to where this object is." Crooked smile.
Aella yawned behind a hand, trying not to look like she didn't want to be there. She felt comfortable enough she supposed, as she sat and waited for the play to start.
"Why'd you choose Romeo and Juiliet?"

Okay yes, that was a little worrisome wasn't it? After all, who wanted to pass that kind of legacy onto thier children? Certinally not Piper. Oh great...now she was going to worry all day wasn't she? Most likely. Though shs did give Malik that raised eyebrow look, he was exaggerating a little with that one...they weren't rotting, just stagnant.
He gave his own nod. "We can help teach each other." It was like sharing! Kinda...in a way, but still. It didn't matter, it was just like it. Though the moment just got batter when the woman morphed into a wolf. Now this was just a fascinating thing wasn't it? He was seeing so much that he'd never seen ever before. A tug at Zykariel, all excited like now. "Look at that!" Wouldn't that be fun to do?
He had closed his eyes again but one red orb again looked at her, before he blinked and opened both to look at her, shifting lightly to his side so he could look at her better. Oh Gods...odd questions. "I don't get irritated, adn honestly I don't but that's only because we both know that I can't cook worth anything really...just basics. If I had to cook then I would. But if you want to do it then you can. I know that you like to cook anyway, it's your wind down thing..." He didn't really quite get it but he went with it, she had told him plenty of times offhandishly. See? He listened.

"Territory stuff?"
That did get a bit more of a concerned tone.
"Don't you become like Meilikki and say everything in vague forms and half riddles, damn it."
Malik stood himself up, and marched himself right over to Warren. if he didn't have some concern for the potential effects on his family, he'd have thrown his hood right back.
"What 'territory stuff?' that didn't sound like it was mentioned in a physical meaning of the term."
Onyx grinned a bit.
"Well..um..hmm. promise you won't get mad and leave or hit me?"

He just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "It's more fun this way. Besides, I...." he brought his arms in close and looked off to one side. "I mean, she's not allowed to speak explicitly."
Warren held his ground when he was marched apon, his smiled only faded a little bit. "Souls have territories. Your's and Pipers were wrenched out of theirs, creating part of this little rip the Oracle mentioned a few times." He shrugged, it wasn't something to get worked up over. "Just don't try to take your son to somewhere outside his soul's territory."
She gave him a look. "Is it relaly that bad that you have to make me promis?"

His eyes got huge when Eliot changed before them and he grinned happily at her. "She's pretty that way too." He yipped back htough he had no idea what he was saying. Hey that was the game, right? Say back what she was saying to them. And then he watched her before walking forward adn lightly patting her on the head.
"She's nice and soft too. Reminds me of Nym, 'cept he does that chitter thing." A look at the wolf. "Can you chitter?" His ears twitched at the sound of a new word entering them and he grinned. He could say that one and impress Daddy with his learning!
She flopped back against the pillows and idly played with the necklace around her neck. "Hmm.." It wasn't much of an answer really, more of a feminine version of the grunt whenever asked a question or something was said. "Yes...it is. I guess Arthur just wants to...be helpful? Even though I like to cook and don't mind doing it?"

((sorry Star, edited for you again!)
Eliot glanced and Warren and Malik and little worried. She knew he could handle himself. But that didn't stop her from worrying. She turned back to teh kids. "She jumped a little and barked. Making playful sounds as Zykariel patter her head and complimentd her several times. She let her tongue hange our a little as she smiled with her eyes.
She took her tongue back in. Chitter?? ummmm... she screwed her lips up and made an odd "rr rr rr" in her throat. It made her laugh laugh, which sounded just like air rushing in and out of her bidy, so much she had teasrs coming from her eyes.

"what is his territory?"
His voice was still concerned. but it was the concerned parent questioning a teacher about a field trip to a potentially dangerous place as opposed to anything else.
"these are things I need to know, Warren. So help me my son suffers injury or pain becuase of something you withheld I will personally pull your privates up through your throat with a rusty spoon and fishing wire.
"well...no....but...um. you might not like it, and you might get a bit uopset with me. and I don't want you to get up and slap me and walk out?"

She...was getting progressively upset she thought. This...wasn't good. Not good at all. All of that trouble that had to deal with them and thier displacement of themselves was supposed to only deal with them. Not Malikhai. Of course one negative thought was bound to bring up a whole range of them in her head. Rather awful ones a well...the kind that worked against the one who thought then and started pointing a finger at thier bearer. Biting her bottom lip, one hand came up out of that crossed position to grip at her collar as she swallowed. Oh sick feeling...
A step forward and a pet at Eliot as well. She's different feeling from Ashlyn though, she's like my blankets." Though a giggle as she stood there with her tongue hanging out of her mouth, Ashlyn did that too sometimes. Then another laugh as she tried to make that sound. "I don't think things like her chitter, Kariel." Though a look back at his mother at a particular feeling before he brushed it off and looked to his dad...he didn't look happy at all. So then attention to his friend and this new one.
"He just wants to show you that you don't have to do things all the time I guess. Who knows, you may enjoy being pampered in such a way." Because Gods knew Sevilin didn't pamper her in that way, if he did at all really. In fact the thought of him cooking for her, or Zykariel for that matter, was somthing almost appaling to her. It was funny sometimes to see her reactions. "Helpful would be the word, yes."

He giggled as she tried to make the sound that he'd requested and couldn't do it. Now he didn't feel so bad. But then he saw the moisture coming out of her eyes and he frowned and threw his arms around her neck, giving her a hug. "Don't cry, it's okay. Maybe only Nym can do it, I don't know. But you make a lot of other fun sounds."
Trying to make the wolf happy, he pulled back and smiled at her, then patted her gently on the head. Coming up with an idea he leaned down and kissed her nose. Daddy always kissed the top of his head or his forehead to make him feel better. "You're still pretty," he whispered to her, petting her still before nodding to Khai. "Yeah but she got sad when I asked her too so let's not say anything more about it."
"Oh...I guess that makes sense.." In another world maybe. She'd always been the cook, even in her own house with her sister. It was the one thing she'd enjoyed out of all of her chores and things. "I'll let him do it then, I suppose. Do you think he's going to want to do it...often?" she felt almost sick at the thought. What if he couldn't cook? Was she goign to be forced to eat mediocre food? What if he felt the way Sevilin felt about spices? Oh great, now she was dreading this picnic...

Warren waved a ahnd. "You mean the Andal thing? I wouldn't worry about that I...." a look out of the side of his head, "I mean, that plane is well isnide both children's territories."
Aella sighed. "Fine, I promis. Now tell me so I can fume in silence."

Eliot didn't realize that her tears would be perspeted as sadness. She was sorry that happened but she was also so moved by Zykariel actions. She smiled with her eyes again and when She got a kiss on the end of her nose, she couldn't help her slef. She jumped on both the boys and gave them big wet wolf kisses. They're so cute!!!
She yipped and barked, encouraging the kids to try and copy her sounds.

Malikhai looked alittle taken aback for a moment as it could be precieved that Zykariel was chastising him for mentioning it after it had apparently upset the animal. "Oh...okay..." So then, don't mention the lack of ability to make a chitter. Okay, got it. "Nym does a lot of weird stuffs anyway...like squish himself under spaces this big." Making a tiny space between his fingers, probably exagerrating. "And Circa and Eket can't make certain noises either. Though Ashlyn is pretty good." All of a sudden it was a comparison of animal sounds.
Though there was little time for that then when he and his friend were jumped upon, the action dropping both boys to the floor, but not painfully either, only leaving Malikhai squirming and giggling from wolf kisses. And he eventually squirmed out from under her but stayed crouched on the ground on hands and the balls of his feet giving a cute little growl. Circa was tackled first.
"This is really getting to you isn't it?" Giving somewhat of a chuckle before putting his arm around her, letting his fingers play soothingly in her hair some to perhaps get her to stop worrying about it. "No one can pass up your cooking and if he's as used to it and as spoiled by it as I am, well he'll realize that there's nothing close to matching and give up. Let you cook to your heart's content."

Well that was good. he coudl visit grandparents and great grand parents. Then why did the idea even come up?
"Aurakah's plane and Norrath are out of thier territories, aren't they. and what woudl I have to worry about on Andal, Warren?"
He was really starting to not like this visit.
"How are the Purians? I hear they refused me again even after that attack. I am quite...perturbed at thier insistance that policies that obviously won't work forever need to be held on to."
Onyx grinned lightly.
"Well..I thought it woudl be a romantic time, and maybe you'd be more inclined and relaxed and be more..open to things?"
Okay that didn't sound very good. but a lot better than 'I thought it woudl butter you up with romance for a shot at a goodnight kiss'
