Okay, that was fun..spinning off into teh water with an undead fish from another slam by fluffy.
"Can we spear it?"
A small snort, petting over hsi undead pet at the present...though apparently Draewen's look got it's attention. it was like a big..underwater dog, he coudl suppose.
"though I supposed not. well...lets just make it play hound for us. make this go by a bit faster."
Cymarron purred lightly.
"Can we use hook and string for fishing? or should we use our magics? which you think would be better?"
Watching the elves, and trying to judge thier awareness. most seemed very unaware of things, feeling safe and secure in thier little fort.

Piper smiled lightly, it was nice to hear that said about her. Though she gave a little shrug and then a tug at her bandana and then collar in turn. "Well...some of us just aren't cut out for some things that are expected of us." Her meager defense on it before she looked to the others. "Oh right..."
Eclipse snorted, creating bubbles and then merely stood up, flaring wings and offering himself up for a free ride back to the surface. "You two can stay down here if you wish, I can get her back up on my own. We'll be fine." Looking to Niah then and waiting.
"Alrighty then, let's get ourselves a ride." A quick trip to the outer places of the Bazaar indeed got them a ride, some Zephyrs were in fact elf oriented and wanted to be around them as much as possible. Serino and Nerian were like that a little, but she didn't have a Zephyr of her own so this was next best. A mount up and helping Zahara on up behind her, the two women set out. Heading east first, coming upon what looked like desert land, but Isle stopped short of the shore. "Give a look out there, should be able to see nightmares running the sands."
Draewen spared a look to Malik. "D'vinn...there are days when I just want to spear it and eat it to put myself of out my misery. But Talithia would have a fit...and he's useful...sometimes." Crossing his arms at the fish, that stern look before moving to dislodge and contract his spear from the fish. "Now Fluffy...lets make a deal...you go fishing for me, er Talithia...and I won't tell her that you tried to eat me again...and D'vinn for that matter...I'm sure that would upset Silverfeather..." A pull at his lantern light just because. "I need rainbow fish, and angel fish. Big ones. Fetch. Now."

Niah nodded to Eclipse and grabbed onto his collar. "Bye Piper, nice meeting you Talithia. Beautiful cathedral."
Talthia raised a slim hand in farewell and turned back to Piper, her deep blue eyes serious. "Well that's always good though you have to understand that there are some...delicate things about this whole relationship. Knowing that he's a drow are you sure you can cope with his..more violent tendencies?" Surface elves were happy by nature really, nonviolent and peaceable creatures. Drow...well they weren't.
"And I really must ask why you wear that thing. You don't act like a slave so why have the mark of one? Is it his dictation that requires it so he doesnt' lose face with his kind?" she asked nodding to the collar Piper played with so often.
Fluffy pouted a bit but let out a sigh of bubbles and then flipped his front half up and down in a nod gesture. He met Draewen's eyes and saw how serious he was and quickly made up his mind. But that means I have to go up there and- oh alright. He let his lantern sway a bit and headed off swimming at a much more sedate pace. IT didn't take long before he was returning with the requests that had been made of him. Three angelfish and four rainbow were deposited at Draewen's feet. They were quite dead and Fluffy had really gotten into glorying in the blood he'd spilled though he'd been careful not to mangle the scales. Mistress liked pretty things and the scales were pretty. The fish were in varying sizes and Fluffy dropped th elast one then swam forward and nudged Draewen, in what to him wa slight manner though the elf would probably be knocked back. I did good?
Pure pleasure raced through her at the sight of those majestic animals racing on the sand. She glanced around at the scenery but her eyes were drawn back to the herd. "Oh...they're beautiful...are they wild?" Well lookee there. She'd found her payment for the time when she got Piper pregnant. A nightmare of her very own, now that was a nice thought.

"Well at least it fetches well. so now that we have all our required fishing done..what say we go back to the cathedral and see if the human and the dog have frozen yet. Or at least get back before lord knows what happens between Piper and Talithia. plotting my demise or something."
A slight grin, hey even a drow could come up with a joke once in a while.

She tilted her head at the mention of 'delicate things' and 'relationship' and there it was, someone wanting to question it all. Though she was rather ready to defend if need be. A nod to her. "Yes...In fact he's often referred to me as the calming influence to that violence that was more or less bred into him. Dare I call myself immune to that violence as well. He knows it has a tendency to upset me...but admittedly, I am not so benign myself anymore..." Though her fingers touched to her collar then at it's mention. What was with that. It was fashioned to look like a fancy choker, though could be identified as a collar by the right eye or interpertation. "It's not a mark of a slave...and he doesn't treat me as such." Well...Neriak didn't count and even then, behind closed doors he made up for the times when he did have to treat her as such. "Any respecting down, wouldn't need a collar to bind a surface elf to them, they'd break thier spirits first. This is...merely a gift from Malik to Piper. A token that brought understanding between two and allowed something greater to take place." For without that collar, he wouldn't know how deeply rooted in not being afraid of him.
Draewen rolled his eyes at Fluffy, grabbed a pieces of nearby kelp and strung the fish that had been brought back together. Then at the nudge that made him loose his ground a little, he sighed and gave the fish a pat on the head, making his lantern bob a little with the mothion. "Good Fluffly...I'll tell her..." Giving Malik that look of 'this is absurd...' as he gave the fish attention. "Now go...torture some eels or something..."
Thus his attention went back to Malik. "Yes, when it's not fetching me." Then a little nod. "I believe we should." Though a grin as Malik poked fun at himself. "Oh she wouldn't plot it behind your back, she'd do it to your face. Come along then." Heading up from the dark depths to lighter waters and back to the little construction site.
Isle nodded. "Sure are...wild as fire they possess itself." A point to the short that they weren't touching. "Though hard to get when they don't leave the land. No smart surface elf will step into these sands...the Obsidians are notorious raiders in the desert, mostly at nigt. But they'll track you if they want from evidence left in the day."
"Let's fish the old fahsion way...elves are notorious in detecting magic, besides we may acitvate some sort of magic born security system." Thus looking to him,seeing as he usually had such things on him.

Talithia digested the information and nodded to each of Piper's points. The differences between them still existed. Even if Malik's penchant for violence was ebbed and muted it still existed but it would remain to be seen how that affected them after marriage. The collar aspect though she still wasn't satisfied with but Piper appeared a bit defensive on that front so seh though it best to leave that one alone. She could always speak to Draewen about that later.
Crossing her legs lightly and rearranging what little clothing she wore she folded her hands on her lap and took a deep breath. "And do you intend to make Andal your permanant home or go back to that other land? And what of the respective thrones Piper? He doesn't seem the type to let that sort of thing pass through his fingers yet you left to avoid being tossed into that position, correct? Or was it just because of the fact you were Bridge?"
Fluffy got right up on Draewen and nuzzled at him lightly then nipped playfully at him still in the mood to play. He'd prefer playing with Talithia but she wasn't around at the moment and these two were the next best thing. But he got distracted easily enough what with other fish swimming by and he took off to spill more blood and play more games. Send Mistress to me later. I'll have more pretties for her.
Zahara nodded, she'd heard quite a few tales about her cousins the Obsidians. Sevilin was an Obsidian himself which had given her a bit more insight to it. "That's their nature." She scanned the shoreline and was tempted to hop down and go closer, she wasn't a surface elf after all but she didn't want to anger the Obsidians and she would be a trespasser on their land. "Any of them ever braved it and lived to tell the tale?"

Malik followed easily enough, his undead fish following beyhind her while draewen carried the others.
"I've seen worse pets, believe me. I'll tell you about the lunatic with a panda fetish sometime. amusing story."
though keeping a careful distance with Draewen, after all, this was his territory, not maliks. and better to keep by the sea elf than to stray and risk lord knows what happening.
Cymarron grinnded lightly, and pulled from his pockets, a long sinewy strand, virtually invisible, and a little bone spear hook. of course the end attached to a bracelet type device. Cymarron, when he had to fish, prefered to be his own fishing pole. It was well known that those times Cymarron and Rand had arguements or Cymarron did things she didn't approve of, his punishment was to go fishingin a little boat.
So a quick survey of the lay of the land, and a bit of moving to a prime spot. then a twirl of the string and out it flew, skewering bread and zipping it back up. then some meat. and cheese.

"No, we're living in Labyrinth...there's no ties for me and Malik there really...more or like a place for just us and ours as opposed to having to worry about vindictive family or something that that sort. Less stress and paranoia." Though then came the dreaded questions...she hated them and thus frowned a little. Why was every one so concerned with that? "Thrones...are never going to be forced on me. Not by my parents and not by Malik...he understands that that is not the life I want. Though perhaps it was because I am Bridge that I left as well...though I'm starting to realize that's not an entirely bad thing."
"Well a few...though they didn't particularly come back...well whole. Cafellian Obsidians like to make reminders on those that come here. Sometimes they let them go like that, or they do it as one is fleeing if they don't kill them. You know...missing ears, fingers, that sort of thing. They aren't a pleasant bunch..."
"Hm...just the mere mention of it brings intrigue." Giving a grin to Malik before continuing on thier course, soon enough coming back upon the ice sculpted cathedral. Lord knew what they were doing in that thing. Sometimes he just didnt' want to know...and sometimes it truly was best that way.
It was amusing to say the least, and they were getting away with it too. Either they weren't paying enough attention to notice them, or they knew they were there and were just playing stupid. But while Cymarron was pullign up food...well that was prime sandwich making material, which was duely taken advantage of. On the go food, how nice. "Objective one, check. Moving on then?" Could eat and walk at the same time.

"Well I suppose if you've thought everything out and discussed everything and you are sure that this what you want to do then go for it Piper. My union with Draewen was blessed by all parties and I know your parents have no problems with Malik." She didn't quite agree. He seemed the type to push and cajole if not force the throne on her after time. Drow never changed after all.
"I wish you the best of luck in your future Piper Silverfeather. May you always claim the name D'vinn with the utmost pride and pleasure it should give you." Ending the conversation here because she sense Draewen approaching. "And it seems our men are back. Shall we go greet them like the good women we are?"
Zahara nodded solemnly. Yup, she knew all about that sort of thing. She'd experienced Llothian cruelty either personally or informally more times than she could count. "Most drow aren't..." she said quietly. "We're all born with the killing gene and most of us use it without qualm. The torture and whatnot I don't believe is genetic. I think that's a learned behavior that results from getting entirely too much pleasure out of a sickening thing..." Or maybe it was genetic and she was the anomaly. Who knew.

Once they got back, Malik waved a hand with a mist of green energy and the undead fish became a dead fish again, before lightly leaning on the wall.
"They're heading out this way, I'm sure."
A slight look over at the doors.
"At least Piper is."
Cymarron nodded, and jumped from place to place, occasionally stopping, ears twitching and lightly checking the air.
"the currents get strong this way."
Gestureing one way with his wing.
"But they are more diverse, this way."
Using his other wing to point the other way.

Piper wasn't so convinced that Talithia was convinced, but if she was going to let it go then Piper would let her. She didn't care to argue that with her right now. She didn't have to defened the decisions she made all the time. But giving a little nod as the conversation apparently was pulled to a close, but she looked over anyway at bond tuggings which also got a fond smile. "Indeed we shall." Thus getting up and making her way out of the place, eyes turning onto Malik who had just come back with Draewen. "Well is my Malik as proficent fisher as well?"
He watched the fish go dead with perhaps some amusement. "She's like Fluffy in that aspect...likes to ambush and ram me and what not." Giving a little chuckle as he crossed his arms lightly, just floating there and waiting. Though a chuckle when Piper made her question. "He's quite impressive...unorthodox methods, but good."
A nod from Isle. "That's the thinking of those that think the drow are just dark skinned elves. Sure, we can all kill, but the cruelty isn't something that comes with the elf. They're taught that. So then if they're not taught it...well then they don't express it now do they?" Another nod from her and a pet to thier steed. "Anywhere else you want to go."
She merely followed in her careful manner before a decision had to be made and she started off the way the second wing had pointed. "Save the best for last. Besides, variety is the spice of life a I hear it." Sure enough coming into what apparently was a training rooms, elves practicing fighting skills as well as thier magics.

Cymarron watched for a moment, tail swishing back and forth. he had that look that dogs get when they want to run through a flock of birds. Yes, the big hunter wanted to try his skill against these elves..but he'd only do it if Aura gave him permisson.
"Do we wish to do anything here? or do we follow the other path?"

((Couldn't just wait, could you Jason?))
"I heard that. Watch yourself Prince, don't want to upset me, it won't bode well for you." She said even while she began to swim at a rather quick pace towads him before hurtling herself into his arms and knocking him down ending up on top of him in the water. "That's for your comment." she said slapping him lightly on the chest before leaning down and kissing him. "And that's because I missed you."
Thus picking herself up in the water and floating in front of Malik and Piper before grinning. "Not as good as my Prince though is he?" She knew that without asking. Who could be a better undersea hunter than the King of the ocean after all?
Violet eyes appraised the elf she'd come to know as her friend in such a short time and in spite of herself she smiled. "Your thinking truly is one of a kind Isle. I suppose I should be thankful you were brought up to believe just that very thing. Sometimes I don't even know for sure if I'm a true drow or not but then maybe you're right and I'm just a dark skinned elf. Who knows." Her gaze turned back to the wild nightmares and she shrugged. "I'm always up for shopping or exploring and whatnot. I met the Soultides earlier so I can cross that off my list. Anything in particular you want to do?"

She merely watched for a moment, various little displays of uniformed elves with bronze tattooing on the backs of thier hands. But her eyes turned to Cymarron and she held in a chuckle at that look he had. He could be nothing but a big kitten. "Why go for the little things when you can go for the big ones?" Her own mischeious side showing through more. See, she wasn't too old for this at all.
And sure enough he was right as Talithia pulled a Fluffy, sans the trying to eat part. And he merely righted them in the water, wrapping his arms around her with a light chuckle. Yes, he knew his Talithia. Though he rolled his eyes lightly at her use of his nickname. Something that went way back when he was young and hated to be referred to as such. She had done it to annoy him and well...it had stuck, even after he had taken the throne. "I meant it with the utmost love, Angelfish." Before looking back to Malik, and Piper who had caught up as well, then a gesture to their quarry. "Skill is not something to argue over, the point is, we got what we needed to get...and Fluffy helped..." begrudingly said.
ISle gave a little chuckle. "Credit Kieran...he may not of been the first one to think the though, but he was the one brave enough to bring it to the forefront of elves' minds. And me and Piper were raised around that thinking...many though still think that elves that think that way...are led to ruin. Only to be stabbed in the back once they have offered thier trust to you all. Though...Piper has never been betrayed like that, right? She's a good example that it's plausable."
A click of her tongue to turn thier borrowed ride about and heading back across the water in teh motionless travel of a Zephyr. "Let's see, the best thing about winter is the blossoms. We should go see those." Which meant taking back the path they came and heading for the forest. Though Isle knew better than to immediately drag Zahara in there...Piper had indeed told her that Malik hadn't handled it too well...and well, thaw was someing soon. Thus at the less denser part of trees, she pointed up to the little blue flowers that were speckled with white and had a crystaline look to them. "See? They bloom naturally...and then turn to ice...sometimes they crystalize permanently, if you pick them right."

"Point taken."
So back the other way, moving quick and agile as usual. Interesting hwo two none elven intruders have been able to roam an elven barrack without being spotted. but on the other hand, they were an expert hunter and thief combination.
Then back heading the other way...following the path of power, moving silently right overhead patrolling or at least wandering Brigade members.
"Speaking of Fluffy. I imagine it will have a rather nasty stomach ache in about an hour or so. unfortunatly disease clouds tend to dissipate and work slower in the water, apparently."
though a raise of his hand to Talithia.
"Nothing serious. only trying to get it to spit Draewen up when it swallowed him on first sight."
