Indeed that got laughter from him, accompanied by that 'that's gross but oh so funny' look as well. Indeed it was a funny image in his head, especially when it invovled his friend. But he settled easily enough, giving a poke to his tummy because right now as he understood it, that's where it started in the very least. He'd eventually get that it didn't. Okay, so lets try again.
"Will mine be strong like Zykariel's one day?" Because well being the younger one he did have a tendency to look up to his older friend from time to time. This magic concept was one of those times. And drow instinctively looked for strength. But okay, let's focus on our hands again and try to get that warm feeling to come back up. Another little smile after a few minutes of concentration yeilded him that slight glow again. "Look!" Just so daddy didn't miss it this time.
Sevilin pushed open the door and casually walked himself in. Though he stopped for a moment. Hm, magic in the air. Though he paid it no mind, seeing as he knew what Zykariel's levels felt like and that wasn't it. However voices told him where others were and informative slaves the other. Thus, up to the nursery with him...oh look, she was holding him again and he was telling a story. What was so fascinating about pirates?
Piper chuckled. "A very good story, and the good guys always win, don't they?" Ruffling his hair again, though her ears twitched and she looked up, only to catch sight of Sevilin walking into the room. "And look who's here."

"They have to win Miss Piper or the plane will cease to exist as we know it." Not that he knew what that phrase meant but hey it sounded good. Then a frown. "Who?" Though his ears twitched as he looked up and grinned. "Daddy!"
Thus led to a scrambling boy, getting off Piper's lap in record time and throwing himself against his father's legs. "I had chicken nuggets for dinner! And I ate them all. And Khai and I got to ride on a real pirate ship. It rocked and the water ate Khai's boots and everything! And then we were on a desert island looking for treasure." He quieted for a moment grinning up at his father. "Did you miss me?"

Sevilin did indeed brighten when the boy ran over to him and he was quick to pick him up, ruffling his hair before giving him a squeeze then wraping an arm around his back and putting his other arm under him to support him as he held the boy. "Did you now? Well that sounds very very exciting, quite the story to tell indeed." Then another nod and a grin. "Ate all of them? Why you're just a bottomless pit aren't you?" Leaning the boy back so that he dangled back in the air some but was in no danger of falling as he pressed an ear to the boy's stomach. "Yup, sounds like a bottomless pit in there."
He was always more pleasant when Zykariel was around him. Yes, Sevilin's proverbial sun rose and set with that boy it seemed. After all, Zykariel was all he indeed did have. "And of course I missed you, you know I don't have any fun without you around." Giving a look then to Piper. "Thanks for watching him."
Piper plastered on a smile for Sevilin and gave him a nod. "Oh no problem, you know I treat him as if he were my own." And she had to bite her tongue to keep from wanting to tell Sevilin how the boy felt right now in terms of Zahara and what not. No, no don't say anything...it will do no good. Gods she felt like she was fighting with Zahara again...it was a damper on her mood a little, that was for sure. "Though you should probably know, we had a little magic flare up today, nothing serious, but he may still be a little sensitive like always after them."

"I see it."
giving off his most excited voice for his son.
"Now lets just try to hold it there nad focus it into your finger first, shall we? and then when we do that, we'll try the mend the ripped paper."
Grinning lightly at his son, though he knew Sevilin was around and probably needed to talk to him about Zykariel's choice.

Of course he was quick to pick up on daddy's excited voice. That meant that daddy was proud of him and he was doing a good job. Thus insentive to try harder at the little task that was indeed given to him. Then a little nod of his head to his father as he was given a second set of instructions.
Okay so we hold the warm like we would our milk in our straw so it would stay that hide. Good, we can do that. Next step. He stared at his finger tips now and tried to get that glow to migrate...though nothing was happening too fast. So he dropped one hand and fisted the other with his index finger still extended.
More concentrating and eventually yes his effort was rewarded by a little migration of glow to his finger. "Look!" Again making sure his father was paying attention, though that glow started back to his hand. "No no no no!" And that glow went back to his finger. Hey! Yelling at it worked. "I got it daddy!"

Zykariel giggled quite happily when his father made like he could hear his tummy and shook his head. "Silly Daddy. You got to drop a rock in it to see how far down it goes and you can't drop a rock inside me. That would be bad."
But he wrapped his arms around his father's neck and looked back at Piper for a moment as she went about informing him of things. "Oh yeah, my episoap. I pushed Khai really hard Daddy but I didn't mean too. I got upset 'cause Rawr couldn't fly anymore and Khai hurted his back." His little face screwed up and his bottom lip trembled. "I didn't mean to hurt him, honest I didn't."

"Sure you don't already have rocks rolling around in there?" Giving the boy a little jostle as if to make the rocks in him rattle so they could all hear them. Indeed, he was quite the attentive father. Though his look turned a little serious/worried at the mention of that flair up. "Did he now?"
Looking to the boy and smoothing his hair down some. "Episode." Eyes back to Piper. "He's not hurt too badly?" Affirmation from Piper that Malikhai was fine and he looked back to his own son. "Long as you said sorry and no one is mad and everyone is alright. Right?" Another pat at the boys hair. "We'll just have to work on getting that magic of yours reined in."

Bode was hiding in the doorway of one of the older buildings, in an allyway. She had her head tucked to her knees and her arms wrapped around her legs. Her little clips stuck straight up like littel flags. She was shaking and sobbing lightly.

But Zykariel wasn't convinced. "I really didn't mean too." He laid his head against his father's shoulder and shook it. "I got all itchy and hot and Miss Piper had to make me feel better. She was my Zara." Which reminded him of something and he lifted his head and tugged on his father's braid. "Did you eat like you were s'posed too Daddy so Zara wouldn't get mad at you? I don't want Zara trying to hurt you even if she's not like the others."

Zell was in the trainging arena doing pushups when Mik found him. He watched him for a time. He wouldn't even tend to the wound on his chest then? The blood dripped to the ground in slow drips. Mik sighed, at least the bleeding would stop soon, tahnx to whatever Kuro did on the battlefield.
He crouched near him, resting his wrists on his knees. "Zell.."
Zell didn't say anything.
"Hey... look..."
"I always let him get to me." Zell started on his own. "Completely unprevoked I taunt him." He shook his head as he did more pushups. "Why do I hate him so much?"
Mik put a hand on Zell's shoulder and stopped the pushups, they both sat on their knees. "He acts in a way you don't believe in. You just need to learn how to control yourself, thats all. Its hard to overcome hate."
"I owe more to Roarke than what I've given him."
"Yo uknow Roarke does not believe that, this is something to be done for yourself."

He pat his son on the back soothingly in reassurance as well. "It's alright. I know you didn't mean it." Giving the boy a squeeze of a hug. Though wasn't it interesting to hear the boy's choice of words regarding Piper? Very interesting indeed. But he gave his boy his full attention as his hair was tugged on.
Thus a chuckle. "Yes son, I ate like I was supposed to so Zahara wouldn't get mad." But a raise of an eyebrow and an inquisitive look at the last statement of his young son. Trying to hurt him even if she wasn't like the others? Well his mind wanted to take that the wrong way and run with it, but he knew his son couldn't possibly be meaning such a thing. After all, Sevilin had never told him about that life style. "And did you do everything you were supposed to as well?"

He blinked at his father for a moment and then thought about it, concentrating to remember all the tasks he had been assigned. "I think so.." he said slowly. "Miss Piper and Mr. Malik asked me to help clean up and I did that. Khai helped too. And I ate all my dinner and all my ice cream and I didn't make a mess. And...I went to reverie when I was s'posed too." Another moment of silence. "I sat and listened to Mr. Malik while he talked to me about not being scared of him no mores and tolded me stuff I didn't like. And I was even quiet while he explained stuffs to me. So yup," nodding triumphantly. "I did everything I was s'posed to."

Onyx found Bode easily enough, and sat down in front of her, quiet, waiting. He wasn't going to start trying to explain himself while she was having a fit with tears and shaking. but he was going to be there when she was ready to talk.
"Yes you did, alright...want to see about trying the paper? or what to keep it up and see if you can hold it there?"
Watching his son carefully, checking him for any signs of overexertion. last thing he needed was for his son to collapse over from trying to make his finger glow.

"That's a good boy." Though he was a little intrigued again by what he meant about him and Malik having a talk about things. Malik was known to not talk down to his son, or anyone else for that matter. He spoke the blunt truth...and that could be troublesome. Okay time to change the subject. Thus a look to Piper. "So what's this talk about the boy's learning magic together?"
"Oh well, Malik thought it was time that Malikhai started learning, Zykariel wanted to join in. He gave them some things to pick from. Seems that Malikhai wants to learn from the illusionist and your own son from a conjuror. Believe Malik wanted to talk to you though before anything was finalized though."
"I wanna try!" Always one to try something and never afraid until he found the reason to be. Like petting a snake and only being afraid after it bit him. But that wasn't on his mind right now. So fingertip all glowy, he moved the two pieces together with his other hand and then went about running his finger down the torn page...blinking when nothing happened. Okay, let's try again. Okay...again...just once more. He was getting nothing and that got a huffy breath from him and a noise of distaste, not liking his lack of ability.

Malik girnned lightly. he knew what his son was trying to do and why it wasn't working.
"Okay. now, running your finger down it doesn't make it work. picture in your head, the paper whole. that will tell teh magic what to do, so it can do it. you're still got the straw pinched, time to let it flow over on the paper."
