She merely shrugged a little, stopping in the hallways and leaning back against the wall, crossing her arms over her chest lightly and casually. "Hey, I'm just speaking the truth...lots of things bigger than you in the underdark after all." Giving a little chuckle to that then shaking her head as he went on talking. "You ask questions as if you haven't been around in ages. You saw him earlier...and I'm sure you could easily tell he's nothing but a ball of trouble and as well as any parent could be. But good trouble at that too."

All the pups quieted down.
"We're really sorry." siad Zell.
"Yes, its a terrible thing to see the ones you love die." Said Mik.
Zachadia paused infront of a building. "We're here."

When Piper had stopped walking so Did Arthur and he stood across from her in the hallway with a small smirk on his face as he watched her carefully. "Of course you were, but no need to worry about me so much Piper I'll just be careful of how I go about things in the Underdark." He replied and with a soft sigh he tilted his head back and let it hit the wall before he looked back at her again. "Well I'm a curious little elf you know that, besides your son is a funny little fellow and I know I'll always be seeing or hearing about him as the years slowly tick by for me no matter where I go; but it's good to see how he is doing." Yup the elf was interested in the tiny version of Malik, the reason? Well everytime he looked at the little boy he saw greatness in him, and someday he'll become a great man in th Underdark, maybe he'll be better than his father. "Wanna grab something to drink Piper?" He asked with a small tilt of his head.

"Yes, but in the end I'm just glad that I'm still alive...Uh?" Delaney looked foward to notice that they were indeed infront of the clinic. She read the sign that was placed in a spot where all could see.
"It says it's closed." She looked over at the three pups. "So what now?"

"Stick around a bit more than just your training here and you'll learn a lot more about what happens in this place. You know, Malik only is so hard on you because you take it so hard. The more you reguard it as a negative thing, the harder he's going to come down on you." Simple as that...Malik pushed because Arthur complained and therefore seemed a tad ungreatful as well. Wasn't it nice to be able to think along Malik's lines and thus explain things to those he wouldn't give explaination to? Very. But she held up a hand in decline. "Not thank you Arthur, I'm trying to avoid the kitchen as of right now. Perhaps another time, yes? Besides, I have plans to make and I'm a cheap drunk on occassion."

"I think that Moonstone lives here..." said Zachadia.
"We could bark." Suggested Mik.

Delaney looked at Mik with a look of 'don't you dare...' in her eyes.
"Let's find another way to contact him... There must be a back door or something... Hmm.. Hey you pups must have a good sense of smell right? If you can remember what Moonstone smell like just sniff him out."
The feline smiled for the fact that she had a good feeling about all of this.

Arthur gave a little glare at the surface elf that stood across from him for a bit before he went back to a more sober look, he hated how people bothered him about his training and for the past little while he has been trying hard not to complain, actually he tries not to say much during his training sessions. "Maybe I will Piper...I do have other things to do you know." Though he let the comment about Malik's training him slide for now, he didn't want to seem angry when talking about it; though he took her decline as nothing too serious since he could always take up the offer later. "No problem Piper I'll offer you again some other time when you have the time to spare." He said with a light nod before pushing away from the wall. "Well since it's getting way to dark way to fast I think I'll take up your offer of sleeping here for the night. I can take my old room right?" He asked and when Piper had given her answer he bid her farewell and left for his bedroom.
So a moment or so later Arthur was holding the key to his old room while standing in front of te door, it has been three long years since he had last been in here and it wouldn’t hurt him to go back in for a night. So after unlocking the door he opened it slowly with a small groan coming from the hinges and what he saw inside was what he saw when he first arrived in the fortress. A plain bed, empty dresser and a clean bathroom. "Eh better than nothing really..." He mumbled to himself and walked inside, closing the door lightly behind him but made the mistake of leaving it open ajar. As he wandered to the bed he began to get undressed, first his coat then gloves to allow his hands to be free, then his plain shirt; all of them tossed onto the bed. Sighing lightly he pinched the brow of his nose before heading to the washroom, minutes later the sound of the taps from the sink could be heard as he got ready to clean up. Once he finished with the bathroom he quickly closed the door to the hallway once he realized it was still open, after that he slipped into bed and went sleep.

Moonstone nodded. "Kora." He went back to the book, waiting for Rusty to tell him more about his dreams and such. But then he looked back up at Kora.
"You seem to stir some memories, you must look like someone I know." A pause and a scratch at his chin. "Are you related to anyone I might know?"
Then to Rusty. "I can't answer any questions if you don't give me any."
Aella watched, fairly interested as Onyx went about showing her how to make a fire. "Why bone? Can't I use something else? It isn't all that likely that I'll have bone handy on me. What if I don't have any tinder?"

"I use bone becuase it burns longer and hotter. but anytihng works for tinder. most, grass, wood shavings, paper...dried plants. tinder is everywhere. mostly though bone and wood are the primary choices. both are heavily found in the underdark."
Motioning for her to have a seat if she wanted.
"Once you have your tinder, you have to light it. ther eare several methods to do that..some use a peice of wood with hole and another that's pointed to cuase a spark via friction..some try the rubbing them together in a cross motion. but I have an easier method. flint and fool's gold."
settling down easily by the fire pit, he leaned over it, motioning for her to get closer.
"You hold the fool's gold at an angle to the flint, and strike it, and it creates a spark to use to light your tinder."
Showing the spakr producing method to her in a few trials. then he set one spark to the tinder, and blew very lightly on it, watching it brighten, before it caught the tinder to flame.
"See? then you just feed it until it's big and roaring. you start small, until it's big enough to eat larger food."
Handing over the stones to her.
"wanna give it a shot?"

Rusty nodded. "I didn't want to interrupt you." He then finished off his seaweed in a quick bite or two. After having sallowed it he rested his arms on his lap.
"I've had a dream of a fire, I was hidding underneat a table... there was dark tall figures. All I could make out was that 2 of the figures fell to the ground and one of them was a mage... Or so I think it was a mage."
Rusty looked over to the quiet Kora and then back at Moonstone.
"I guess... I didn't really have any set questions... I just have this feeling that I should be doing something about these dreams.. that they mean something. But what? I don't know. So I decided to seek your advice... Also I wanted to thank you for saving my life.

Aella took the flint and fools gold and struck it as she was instructed. She didn't produce a spark until the third or forth strike, but she go it. "I see."
"Well, thank you Onyx. That is valuable information, I am sure." She smiled in the way Meilikki always did.
Leaf woke alert and energized. She had not slept well, because she never did, but she did not need much sleep anyway. She was on a cot like bed in the area that Corathian had placed them, her belongings in one corner. She rose and strapped her weapons on before waking Fin.
"Are you well now?" She asked, eager and ready to get on with their quest.
"I wish to see the water temple today."
Moonstone looked through his books, rubbing at his brow with two figners. "Well, it's difficult to tell really. You could be seeing a repressed memory, or your mind could be using symbols to try and tell you how your feeling, or an epiphany, or you could be manifesting a fear of some kind. It could mean nothing at all."
"how does the dream make you feel? When your sleeping, and when your awake?"

Kora sniffed at the handful of seaweed that was given to her while Rusty and Moonstone talked. She bit at a strand of it, pulled and ripped out a peice. These things were hard to chew.
She couldn't understand why she'd remind Moonstone of anyone...
She did have a family, though. She had both her parents and was the eldest of her 5 other siblings... but given how they were strugling with poverty, Kora took it upon her own to leave when she was old enough, so her family would have one less mouth to feed, and therefor, her siblings would lead a slightly better life.
She'd stop visiting home after a while... even though she was always welcomed, she felt ashamed of herself for living the way she did when ever she saw the worried frown on her parent's faces. She didn't like seeing them like that... so she just simply avoided it. This was all for the best, she thought.
but none-the-less, she couldn't at all remember a time where she, or anyone in her family, would of ever met Moonstone... so she dismissed his comment... and took an other sip of the coffee as she kept listning to the conversation.

Rusty looked down. "Well... they- ... I feel as if there's something I'm missing... As if I should be aware of something I'm not..." He rubbed his head with both hands as a sign of frustration. "Arg... this whole thing is confusing me..."
He looked over at Kora and realized that he hadn't left her a chance to answer Moonstone's question. "Ermm.. I'm sorry Kora. Moonstone had asked you a question and I... interrupted."

"Ermm.. I'm sorry Kora. Moonstone had asked you a question and I... interrupted."
Kora perked her head up and pointed to her chin, as if to say "Meeeeeeeeeeee?" ...
"Well... I..." She sputtered a mixture of chewed up seaweed and coffee... her cheeks were too full for her to speak, so she wiped off her chin, took a moment to finish chewing and swalowed her mouthful in one big gulp.
"Ahem... umm... Well, no, its okay. I think you might have a slight bigger dilema then I do."
Kora smiled, for once. The caffeen was starting to get to her.
"But... umm, I don't think we've ever met, Moonstone... and I kinda doubt that you'da met me Ma' or Pa'... or my little siblings... for that matter... I'm sorry?"
