"I am fine, thank you." The elf said calmly, "But you really should stop reading my mind. You might find something you don't want to know, or will have nightmares over." The elf held her thoughts away from most of his memories, but somethings were open... He slowly pushed her out of his mind. "Sorry, I wasn't expecting you to be so strong, I will make sure my lock is kept for your sake."
"I made Nailah sick with a few thoughts, no need to drop those on you too, unless you wish to know what it feels like to be tortured endlessly by devils." THe elf breathed deeply, he was fairly harsh today...
"I will try to help, if I can. But I am still weak from my earlier battle... And I am forbidden to leave the radius of the manor." The image of Fenix ... "Some poeple have invested interest in my body and wish to keep it nearby. If I leave, he will kill someone."

Shin seemed to be spending a lot of time sittiong on the manor steps of late, and it was there that she found herself again, staring out at the forest, th9nking of nothing in particular. Merelii was sitting on the oppisite side of the stairs, looking rather muchly like a pair of gaurdians for the manor. That wasn't all that far from the truth, either.
Merelii stood, and started up the steps, worried about Shin's charge, though her cousin didn't seem to care very much, falling back in to a sort of apathy that seemed to be a genetic traight for thire family.
Shin never moved.

"I am here to help, as were my orders by the master Elias, he asked that I make you come back alive, and that he looses somthing." he said as he drew his massive katana. "THe question is do we find of do we sneak the decision is your m'lady." he said as he held the word in his hand, in no special just holding it."

"I did not read your mind. If I did you would have felt it. I simply picked up on thoughts you had left open. I do not read minds unless I have to." Pheaura felt strenghth returning to her body. "Let's get you bandaged up first." She offered her hand and arm to the elf as much as in friendship as it was to help him steady himself if he needed it.

Malik looked at teh serpentine being with a slight scowl. he may not have understood the language, but that wasn't the issue. the shattered windows were.
"Mind your tongue, snake. or at least have the good taste not to damage a home you're a guest in. that goes for the puppeteer behind the puppet."
He turned his attention back to Rand, shrugged at the iron bar, and moved back to his seat.
"Simple. I want you to be my guest here. work out a relationship we can both agree on. You're safe here from yourself. your demons can't torment you in this building. I can offer you solace from the need of things like that bar. and your weapon. in exchange I want access to the power that little hole contains in it, and knowledge to manipulate it to my advantage."
he looked her over, up and down lightly.
"Now for the gun in and of itself, if you refuse my generous offer...well lets start with how much it means to you. I assume it's quite imporant to you, so lets say an evening of your company at the least, and if you still don't want what I offer, you cna head back to that feline's domain. after all I doubt the lady of the house is going to want you around those children very long. and the cat is the only other one willing to take you in his den."

"Thank you, but I am not in need of bandages." Nelphean whiped his arm across his body, removing his shirt and his cloak. He was scarless, but there was a large splotch of flesh died by blood stains. He held his shirt to his body to show where the sword had cut through, and his muscular abdomin was not missing anything.
"I can rebuild my body, but not increase the amout of blood. I have to wait for it to naturally restore itself." The elf smiled, "Mind the blood stains outside." The elf replaced his rages in another single swing. It really wasn't har to put clothes on that didn't retain their general shape.
He looked at her hand, "It was kind of you to offer, but I must decline." The elf straighted his body, "But should I need your help, I will accept it."
"Please excuse my bitterness, I have a bad taste in my mouth from Elias, and a little headache from becoming closer to the wall."

Pheaura nodded respecting the elf's privacy, but still she couldn't keep from asking, "What abot Elias?" SHe was his close friend and would hate if anything happened to him, or if him and Brightsabre got in a fight, she liked the both of them and felt some kinship to them.

Rand was confused at best. One hand, a sancurtary, the other a prison. One hand, freedom, the other slavery. One hand pistol, the other sex. Malik's offer was as lopsided as her emotions. Her heart pounded, her brow furrowed. She hadn't even met the lady of the manor yet, would she really rufuse her stay?
If the option with the pistol was to spend a night with Malik, she'd rather have Errtu take her again. She wasn't about to give up her virginity just like that. But, that was not the offer that apealed to her.
She had two options, as far as she could see. Live in hell: in the manor fighting with her demons and trying to find a way to close the conduit while not killing anybody. Or live in hell: a broken slave, her decsisions made for her.
She was friendless, as far as she knew. She had no one to ask for help....
The gun was no longer the issue.

The Serpent, placed his hand on the shoulder of the woman, he was not a physic but it was not that hard to know the things there were going trhough her mind. He spoke in her mind, his hissing voice was gentle and sincere."I have seen that face before, it is from someone that thinks she has no friend, the master would not give you those weapons, or sent me to get you back safely if he was not your friend, many think Elias to be nothing more than a selfish weakling, but he is also Mexica, and Mexica never aboned a friend, at least you have two friends in this world, the master and I."He spoke to the young woman and then hissed once more, blasting his hatred into the mind of Malik. "Do not call me a puppet, maggot, I serve the master of my free will, but something as dead as you knows nothing of loyalty, to a human much younger than I."His hands tighthened around that katana of his, this little maggot was getting him pissed.

"Elias has done something very unkindly to Nailah, and he cannot see it." The elf imposed the coversation onto Pheaura's mind. "He was unable to contend with my barbaric attacks, that he would not have suffered if he had just left me alone."
"Elias has a strong spirit, but he doesn't see other's for theirs, and he imposes his beliefs upon them. Nailah wanted peace, but Elias and Cymarron refussed to allow her to have it. Thus, they could not identify what the object of their affection truly wanted; thus, they do not love her for her. Moreso, Elias does not respect or honour her. To say anymore would be an attack on Elias himself, and I wish not to do that again, today. Foul thoughts of Cymarron also rest within my chest, but again, I wish not to speak them."

Merelii wandered through the halls, not really knowing what room elias was in, but figureing her nose was as good a clue as any. she stood before a door she assumed was the mans, figureing if it wasn't and someone was there anyway, she could always ask. she tapped on the door softly, not wanting to wake anyone up if they were sellping, but hard enough that she would be heard.
-----------------------
Shin still sat on the steps, putting more concentration in to holding the dark and flickering orb in her hands in check than anything else, wich was apparent, since she didn't notice Tulare land right infront of her, the flickering darckness taking all her thought, and then some.

Malik knew that look too. and he often had exploited it in the past.
"I know Lady Aurahkah. I know her love for those in her care. and I know that you even now wonder if she woudl let you stay when she realizes the damage you coudl do to..Tyler, Ecara, and Esmerelda."
He leaned back some.
"I'm not asking you to sleep with me. At least not yet, though I will say for a human..or vessel, or whatever you want to call yourself, you are attractive. I'm offering more a chance for you, to get to know me. and me, you. I think we are more similar then you realize. as for Sanctuary..I don't need a slave. what I need is someone who can teach. one who can help me, and I'll help you in return."
He gaze was cold, calculating, as he placed his hands in a steeple before himself.
"I'm offering a peace you've never had, in exchange for a power I've never touched before. we each get to experience something new."

"What I have met of Cym I do like. He just needs to learn, and Niah was willing to teach. Its easy to see why he attached himself to her, but I do agree. Forcing her to choose....they should know that when she chooses it is on her own, not becuse of them forcing her to anything. But I like Elias' company, and I haven't gotten to know Cym." Pheaua was surprised she spilled that out in one breath.

Agony abated. and Midnight was in control again. He got up, dusted himself off, and walked to the manor. Cymarron would come out, he was sure...he just needed to get someone to pry him out. and what better way to do that, then associate with other people. not to mention his ally was getting very distraught with the lack of help. not to mention she wanted to talk to Nailah. the angel. she could bring him out. she could summon him to the forefront, if not keep him there for a little while. before those same doubts began to eat him again.
So he moved into the Manor, looking at Nelphean B and Pheaura.
"Greetings, friends."

The serpent said nothing but merely stood watching what you happen next, he knew that those children were safe, but in the end the decisiion had the hers to make. A smile could be seen forming unto the serpent's wrapped face, as he brought his hand balled into a fist and gave Malik the finger
Esmeralda had been awake for sometime now, but she did not want to leave her father's side, she was starving but would not leave her father, she was going to be like her, she would be loyal, not like her. "You can come in, it's open." her young voice shouted back, Esmeralda didn't know who it was, but hoped that it would be Naliah, she had something to say to her.
