He blinked big silvery eyes, before crinkling his nose and bringing a fist up to rub at them before stabbing at his food again. "Oh...okay." But a nod in confirmation of what his aunt had said. "She doesn't work." Whatever that meant.
Isle was still slumped in her chain, her head on the table with her cheek against the wood, her hair splayed about her and unbrushed in rather unattractive fashion she was sure of. "I am currently miserable...on the other hand it can't get worse I suppose." Bringing a hand up and raising her head some to take a sip of cold tea and a bite of cold toast. Gross, but she really wasn't caring right now. And flop back against the table. "I feel like a lizard."
Because it's easier for me to hear it and then have it click in my head rather than looking back and forth. And you want to help don't you?" Ruffling the child's hair and adjusting the child on where he sat into a more comfortable position. He'd rather only one leg do numb from being sat on.
But then he reached over and grabbed one of his books, pulling it over and turning it to the page that had a simple rune on it. "You want to learn to do what I do right? Why don't you try practicing?" Thus handing the boy some paper and a piece of charcoal of his own."
Again, was grooming himself and then more attention was allocated to him, but he didn't mind...it was nice attention seeing as he was going to get pets and treats and could crawl around clothing looking for hidden pieces of jewelry and other shiny things and what not.

"A lizard?" She giggled at that and almost choked but quickly took a drink of orange juice. "Silly, Isle. How come you feel like a lizard?"
Zykariel nodded and began reading names again until his father handed him charcoal and a simple rune. "Can I really?" He eagerly took the pencil and began to trace on the paper, attempting to draw the rune but he dropped the charcoal and had to climb off his father's lap to get it. Picking it up, he glanced over and saw Zara giving extra attention to Nym.
He frowned lightly and then shook his head, his idea more important than ever. Nym had to be taken care of. Climbing back on his father's lap, he settled in and began drawing once again.

Arthur nodded lightly to Lark and smiled "Hey Lark it's good to see you again." He said and slowly pulled out a chair and sat down in it as he watched the older surface elf with a worried look on his face, so slowly he reached over and brushed some of her hair behind her ear, at least he was trying to help her out a little bit though he worried how bad she felt. "I can see that Isle, maybe if we can get Piper or...Zahara in here they can take a look at you and see what’s wrong." Though a small pause as he actually wondered what was wrong, maybe her body was trying it's best to get use to living down here now, but he really couldn't pin point an answer. "Is there anything I can do to help?" He asked, after all he was really worried for the elf, he didn't want her to feel ths bad on her second day here in the Underdark.

"I feel like a lizard because they do that thing...where they lay around and can hardley move because they're cold blooded you know?" She was comparing herself to a lizard...hm, how should she feel about that. Though she opened her eyes some and glanced at Galesen as he went about tucking some lavedar strands behind a blue tipped ear....she hadn't even done her hair this morning... "I'm sure I'll be good...I'll just chew a leaf at the next avaliable opportunity." Till then she was going to just lay here more or less on the table.
And he had to pause again to let the child down and then back up. Yes he was slightly annoyed, but only because he was seriously trying to work and wasn't just slacking off. "Are you sure you'd rather stay here than play with Malikhai?" A look over to Zahara...whom he considered asking to be the impromtu babysitter.

Arthur chuckled a little when Isle explained to little Lark just how she felt like being a lizard and he found it funny and he couldn't help the small smile that came upon his lips. "I felt like a lizard a few times in my life when ever I got sick by something I ate and I couldn't move afterwards cause I felt really bad in the stomach." A small pat on his gut as he watched the elf with some curious intent until she opened her eyes to look at him after he tucked away some of her hair behind her ear. "Hey it's good to finally see those beautiful eyes of your again." He said with a light chuckle then nodded at her comment as he leaned back in his chair. "Well I'll stay around incase you want any help Isle, I got nothing special to do today so there's nothing better for me to do." Yup looks like he'll be stationed for a little bit, he didn't feel like getting up and walking around, if he ran into Zahara who knew what would happen?

Lark made a face. "I don't like lizards very much. Dragons are better." Which reminded her that Malikhai had wanted to take care of the draithix eggs. She wondered if he needed to be reminded or if he just wasn't feeling like it today. Making a mental note to mention to Piper about his strange behavior she finished up her breakfast. "We just gotta wait for Piper to get her lazy bones out of bed."
Zykariel had finally settled, not really moving much anymore except the random bit here and there. He soon tired of drawing the runes though and handed the paper back to Daddy. "All done and yes Daddy, I wanna stay with you. Dont' you want me too?"
Zahara glanced over at the boys and shook her head. Why wasn't Zykariel playing with Malikhai? "You know Kariel, Malikhai and Lark are finishing up breakfast and then they're bound to run off and play. Why dont' you go join them?"
"Dont' call me that! My name is Zykariel and no thank you. I'm fine."
She raised an eyebrow at the boy's outburst then, shrugged. "Alright...you would have more fun though." Since when did the child not like his nickname? He'd had it since he was a baby, given to him by her.

"Fine...I feel like a dragon." Just to appease the child and then her eyes turned to Galesen once more. She looked unphased by his compliment...then again of course she was. After all, her eyes were run of the mill where she came from. But she forced a smile for him none the less before letting it fade and closing her eyes again. "How chivalrous of you." Then a raise of a hand and a dismissive wave. "Oh don't mind me...I'm just going to be table decoration."
Done? Done was not a word one used when doing runes. You were done when you were told you were done or your hand cramped up. Whichever came first. Proved that boy wasn't quite ready for real training. But he took the paper and looked at it, offering some encouragement. "You did good...and of course I want you too...but I know I can be awful borning." Giving the boy a distasteful look and a poke in the ribs.
Though he gave a blink and raised an eyebrow at the sudden outburst. Usually he liked his nickname. That bad mood was back now wasn't it? And a look over to Zahara once more, giving a nearly undetectable sigh and shrugging his shoulders. He'd have to learn to work around his son. Thus he tried to go back to making up combos.

Arthur chuckled a little and shook his head, it seemed that Isle was now a dragon, she had to make up her mind sometime and hopefully it would be with a creature that would suit her. Though he watched her eyes quietly as she looked back at him, even though she had smiled he could tell that her eyes didn't show any shift from his compliment, oh well he just wanted her to hear what he thought and it just shows her how much he actually thought of her beauty. "Well that's the way I am Isle." He said with a small chuckle as he watched her carefully though he gave a small shrug and grinned at her comment. "Go ahead and be a table decoration, you need to save your energy anyway so it's fine by me." Though he turned to little Lark and smiled. "Well lets hope she'll come soon, it's not like Piper to mis breakfast."

Malik came downstairs, and touched on Malvolence...but the commands were to some probably not entirely ready for it.
Zykariel. Malikhai. Meet me in the kitchen if you woudl please.
So he went downstairs, nevermind the clawing on his back since he was without a shirt...it really did burn a bit if he wore something a little too early after thier..playtime...and down to the kitchen and a chuckle at Isle and over to the food that woudl already be waiting.
"finding it a bit difficult without a morning sun, eh Isle?"

"My sisters hates meals. She likes her food on the go. At least that's what Daddy Kieran says all the time." Lark grinned as she saw Malik and leaped off her chair and ran over hugging him tightly. "Malik! Good morning!" Then a glance around. "Where's Piper?"
He squirmed lightly at teh poke in the ribs and shook his head. "You're not boring Daddy. I like helping you work, it's fun." He pulled out his prodding stick and began to prod the charcoal, until it broke into a few pieces. "Look Daddy!" He reached down and picked up little pieces of charcoal then started smoothing it around on one of the sheets of paper. "It smears!" He turned and grinned at his father then went back to making a creative mess.
Zahara decided to try again. "Hey Zykariel, would you like to go play with the horses or read a book or something like that? Let's leave your father alone, he's trying to work."
He shook his head and leaned back quickly against his chest. "No! I'm fine right where I am. I don't want to go with you, I don't want to play with the horses and I don't want to read to you." He shook his head. "Daddy doesn't-" Cutting off rather abruptly, he blinked and reached up and tapped his head. That was Mr. Malik's voice in his head...he hadn't heard that before. But he was curious so he slipped off his father's lap and walked out of the library and into the kitchen. "Yes?"
Zahara watched him go for a moment and blinked then looked at Sevilin to see if he had any idea what was up with that kid these days. "He's acting very, very strange..."

Malik winced when she hugged him, and really hoped none of his clawings bled any. though a look over to Zykariel, and there was Malikhai already. Good.
"We need to sit down and talk abit about your magic classes, if you were still interested. As for Piper..I think she may be a little fatigued. she'll be coming down shortly or I'll be bringing something up to her."

Satisfaction indeed...she loved payback. Though she had to admit he took it rather well. Oh well, at least she didn't leave him all bloody and laid open. Just slightly purple and welt lines. But downstairs with her robe clad self after Malik and happily to breakfast this time. But a shake of her head at the sight of Isle. Poor thing. Thus walking up and laying a hand to her back, giving a comforting pat. A look over to Lharika. "A mere blink of an eye Lharika." Back to Isle. "I'll get you something." Thus moving off to kitchen cabinets, a pat for Lark and Malikhai as she passed and then came back to Isle, presenting a leaf to her. "Here, chew on this."
Yes, quite happy being a table decoration was just fine for her...though she opened her eyes again when she heard Malik's voice and then felt a comforting pat on her back. Oh if she had the drive she'd probably punch Malik right now. And then there was a leaf she was being handed. Chew it? Oh yes, she'd do anything to feel better right now. Thus chew on leaf she would.
"Mommy and daddy are up!" All excited like and what not, because daddy's voice in his head meant the emergence of parents. Merely kicking his feet where he sat and munching on a piece of sausage because well he was already where his father wanted him to be. "Morning mommy, morning daddy." Giving one of his big old smiles before he took a momment to rub over his eyes and back to eating. A wave to his friend as he came in apparently daddy had called him too. "Hi Zykariel."
And the child was making mess...in his working space. Restraint Sevilin, don't clean it. The boy was awfully clingy right now. "I see..." Oh but how he wished he didn't. But he looked up again to Zahara as she tried again to help him out. Then again confusion as the child took a rather agressive route with his mother, denying every idea tossed at him. And then further more as he merely cut off...and then slipped down and walked away. Okay...
"I don't think strange is the word...." A look back to his working space. Oh hell...

Arthur carefully watched Isle until he saw Malik wander in the dinning hall and gave the drow a nod and moments after that little Zykariel came in so that the man could talk to the little elf and his son about th magic lessons that they would be taking part in, so he didn't have to worry about anything for now. Though minutes later he saw Piper in a robe come inside and took care to Isle giving her a leaf just a few minutes after arriving. "Hello Piper you are looking well today." Yup short common hellos tat he gave to everyone he met, there was nothing about that. so with that out of the way he got a slave to bring him breakfast and he began to eat without complaint.

Zykariel gave a small grin to Malikhai and then turned his attention to Malik. "Can you teach me how to do that? Talk in other people's minds? I've never heard that before."
Lark let go of Malik and grinned up at Piper then skipped back over to the table to make sure Isle ate the leaf like she was supposed to and everything went well.
Zahara walked over and picked up the paper the child had smashed charcoal on, then began to use the side of her hand to push the shavings and smashed pieces off the table and onto the paper. She didn't want to tell Sevilin she thought he might have inherited the insanity Sevilin claimed to have but that's what it was looking like. "What do you thikn it is?"

A look over to Arthur. "Well? Yes indeed I am. Morning to you too." In an oh so good mood, but of course how could she not be? Back to Isle, giving her another pat. "Don't worry...it'll help. You should of seen me the first week or so down here...Malik had to practically drag me around and tie me to Serino so I didn't fall off when we were riding." Oh yes she remembered those days, but fondly. Why? Because Malik had been rather attentive to taking care of her till she adjusted. It had been hell to adjust and more or less on a fast crash course of adjusting. But enough skipping down memory lane, she took her seat at table and actually got a full plate of food, actually eating it.
Isn't was quite content to chew on the leaf and she actually recognized the flavor. Something from Andal actually...common remedy, was traded from Odaria mostly...came from a bush. Leaves were medicinal, berries were delicious.
Oooo magic lesson talk. Though he gave another brush over his eyes and gave a sniff, still gnawing at that sausage. "Does that mean we get to start learning daddy?
And then it seemed Zahara was going to correct some of the mess the child had made...but he could still see some charcoal dust in the woodgrain of the table. Let's just turn our eyes away from that. So then, a look up at Zahara. "Independant streak gone haywire?" Giving a shrug of his shoulders to that one. Though he could take a guess at what it was...seeing as the boy's target of negativity seemed to be Zahara and Sevilin got the practical golden child behavior.
