Torvil tossed on his robe, heading out to the nursery when he heard noise.

Ala took a moment then got up grabbing her own robe and ambled her way after him

Torvil was smiling and standing in the doorway. Garion wasn't in there but Noirag was, his shadow tendrils making Surion's toys play with him, Torvil's romani's were on Noirag face.

Surion giggled reaching after the toys as they came near

Noirag was having a ball, not noticing the parent's at all.

Ala watched them from beside Torvil and chuckled softly

Noirag looked to Ala when she chuckled, his ears perking. He kept the tendrils going though.

"Hi Noirag" Ala said leaning on the door

Noirag smiled. Hey... Surion's been good... Not fussed at all... Changed him...

Ala smiled and nodded "Thanks"

Do I need to go now?He asked his ears drooping a little, one of the Tendrils going low enough for Surion to grab a toy.

"You look like you are having fun" Ala mused

Surion reached and giggled happily taking the toy that was in his grasp

Noirag let him have it with a smile. I am... But I can go if you need me to...

Ala looked at Torvil

Torvil shrugged. "I'm having fun watching..."

Ala chuckled "I'm going to get food started, he can play till it's time to eat" she pushed away from the wall and headed for the kitchen

Torvil smiled and watched Noirag and Surion play.

Ala went to the kitchen and cooked and prepared Surion's food and all that fun stuff then went in search of Vina to let her know it was supper time if she cared to join them

Vina refused the offer for supper, having already eaten, but jumped at the chance to see Surion.

Ala nodded and headed back to the house "Torvil supper time" she called before walking back into the kitchen

Torvil nodded and got Surion, but not before Noirag gave the boy a lick on the cheek for goodbye

Surion giggled baby-slapping Noirag's head as he was picked up

Ala served hers and Torvil's supper and put Surion's bowl and spoon on the table

Torvil brought Surion out with a smile and watched Noirag leave.

Ala had his chair open and ready

Torvil sat Surion down in the chair and Vina smiled sitting and not eating, but desiring some company.

Ala looked at Vina "Care to feed your brother?" she asked offering the bowl to her

Vina smiled. "Sure!" She got up and moved her chair closer to Surion so she could feed him.

Ala handed her the bowl and took a seat to eat her own meal

Torvil ate as Vina started to dish out cereal to your youngest brother.

Surion giggled happily and leaned forward mouth open towards his sister

Vina smiled and put the spoon into his mouth.

Surion ate it and blew raspberries too

Vina giggled and used a wing as a shield, playing peek-a-boo while she fed him.

Surion had fun being fed and a few times tried to reach and grasp a feather

Vina giggled and once let him get one of her big ones... It was near molting anyway.

This excited Surion and he tried, like with everything he got his hands on, to eat it

Vina giggled. "Silly Surion..." She pulled it from his mouth before it got too damaged. "That's not what you do with it..." She tickled his nose with it.

Surion giggled kicking his little feet

Vina smiled softly and patted his cheek.

Surion giggled happily

There was a sudden crashing noise in the vicinity of Selene's old room. Torvil got up quickly.

"What the?" Ala said looking up

Torvil just waved at her and headed out.

Vina's wings had instinctively wrapped around Surion and his highchair.

Ala followed after her mate leaving her son in the protection of her daughter

Torvil had gone into Selene's room, and came back looking pale. In one hand was a rock, in the other a parchment like paper made of something not available to the local area...

"What is it love?" she asked from where she was near the doorway of the kitchen

Torvil looked to Ala. "Joman... he's... He's..." He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Joman's been kidnapped..."

"Oh dear Visha... " Ala said and looked towards her daughter

Vina's head had snapped up and her wings were flared. There were tears in her eyes, but the look on her face was pure rage.

Ala crossed the room towards Vina

Vina just held a hand out to her. "Daddy..." She looked to Torvil.

Torvil sighed. "Yes darlin?"

"I want you to go get Joman back..." She said in the softest voice ever.

Torvil nodded. "I know love... and I'm gonna..." He said softly. "Will you watch Surion while I'm gone?"

Ala stood near Vina watching between them

Vina nodded. "Of course dad... He's my brother... I'll stay and watch him... That is... If mom's going..." Vina would have gone... But she was pregnant... and due... soon...

Ala nodded "I should get something done to get ready to go" she said going to a cupboard to grab something then disappearing from the room

Torvil tapped his chin. "This is from the under caves... I'm going to have to see someone about charms to make us look like Drow..." He said softly musing.

Surion babbled not really knowing what was going on

Vina wiped some tears away and picked him up with a smile. "Sweet innocence..." She sniffled. Then hugged Surion close and started to sob.

Surion looked up at her and whimpered

Vina bit her lip and just hugged him, using his softness and warmth to soothe her aching heart. Torvil came over and hugged them both.

Ala came back a while later with a jar it was a decent size "Milk for Surion" she said showing it to Vina before sticking it in the fridge

Vina nodded. "I'm getting near that point too..." She mused. "Not quite... I don't think till after the kids are born..." She said softly. "But I'll make sure he gets some.

Torvil sighed and patted Vina's cheek. "Ala... Do you know someone who can charm us to look like Drow?"

Ala nodded "He also drinks blood from a wrist if you need to.. " she looked at her mate "Not really, I don't know that the Kerrsal do that kind of charm or not... "

Torvil frowned. "We're going to be hard pressed if we can't find somebody..." He said softly.

"You could always go ask while I prepare here, who knows maybe Danyen knows more about my people then I do..." she said stating something she knew was fact

Torvil nodded. "Be back in a minute..." With that he vanished.

Ala nodded and turned to Vina "Don't worry we'll get him" she said softly

Vina sniffled and opened her free arm. She needed hugs.

Ala moved in and wrapped her arms around Vina tightly

Vina started to cry again, her wings surrounding the three.

Ala held her tightly trying to comfort her

Torvil returned a little later and Vina let go of Ala.

Ala smiled softly

Vina wiped her eyes. "Well you two should go..." Torvil nodded, but quickly went to get dressed.

"We'll get him... you just take care of yourself and your little brother" she said softly

Vina nodded. "Kay..."

Torvil came out dressed in cliff garb, having nothing better till he could reach the undercaves.

Ala kissed her cheek softly and kissed her son "Miss you lil man" she said before tearing herself away and heading to the bedroom

Torvil gave both Vina and Surion hugs and kisses, said his goodbyes, and followed.

Ala waited for him and then looked at him "So? what did he say?"
"He knows... We have to see him now... But it'll only last a week..."

"Then we better hurry, I really don't want to be gone that long if I can help it" she said with a nod she knew Vina knew how to care for Surion, heck she had a couple times briefly she just also knew her nerves would be on edge every second they were gone

Torvil nodded and quickly jumped them directly, knowing enough to actually attempt a mental shield, if Ala got mad she got mad... He landed in Danyen's office... Risky, but necessary.

Ala watched Torvil

Danyen looked up "Back again I see" he said with a slight sigh

Torvil sighed. "an emergency... We need the charm... Please..." He looked at his feet. "I am your humble servant, please... I am in your debt..."

"I had a feeling you might be back for that" Danyen replied putting his feet on the floor. He walked towards them a hand inside his robe

Torvil looked to him, not moving, ready for anything, but unable to strike out unless the oath was absolved.

Danyen looked between the two of them, After a few minutes he pulled out a small vial that held swirling liquids "Your wife makes Kerrsalian water, take it at least 15 minutes before setting out on your quest, and remember what I said about how long I could make it last... if you finish before it wears off on it's own you will need to see me again or just wait it out" he said seriously handing the vial to Torvil

Torvil nodded and bowed down, kissing the hem of Danyen's robes... "Thank you my Master..." His voice cracked.

Danyen sighed "You don't need to be doing that" he said turning and floating away "Now you better get moving" he said going back to what he was doing

Ala looked down at him

Torvil sighed. "I must unless you absolve the bond master..." He said softly before standing and rejoining Ala.

"I'm no one's master, that includes you, and if it takes telling you something is absolved so be it" Danyen replied

Torvil felt the tingle let go. "OH THANK VISHA!" He wiped his brow. "that was a hell and a half..."

Danyen raised a brow and shook his head looking down at his papers

Torvil chuckled softly and pulled Ala close. "Off we go..." He mused, and jumped them to the cliffs, but way at the bottom.

Ala sighed "This is going to be a long few days I can feel it"

Torvil hugged her tight. "This is for our daughter and her husband... Surion will be fine... and we'll be out of here before too long..." He dredged up all the info he knew on the Drow and sighed. "We'll need to stop by the treasury here quickly..."

Ala nodded "Well lets get started"

Torvil nodded and started walking to the treasury, people making way... They all knew...

Ala followed him she was nervous was trying not to let it show even though she knew they could smell it

Torvil brushed her hair... The stop at the treasury was short... The Ransom had been the death of Vina's children... and Torvil wasn't going to allow that... He gathered as much gold as he could, melted it and cast it into coins. re-bagging it he headed out back towards the large cave mouth that had been blocked off.

Ala followed and helped best she could

Torvil smiled at her. "Okay love... best we take this now..." He handed her the vial. "You first.."

Ala nodded and her eyes shifted green, she created a glass filling it with her waters and then drank some, she took half of the vial's contents and drank some more waters before handing both to Torvil

Torvil did the same, letting her fill the glass of course.

Ala made the glass disappear once he was done and stood there quietly waiting

Torvil took her arm, and headed over the blockaded down into the darkness that would become the undercaves

"And so we start" she said with a nod "are we dressed appropriately?" she asked not sure how Danyen's charm would work exactly if it'd just be her body or her entire appearance and she wasn't looking at Torvil right then

Torvil looked. "We'll have to get new clothes... but I must say, you'd look good as a Drow..." Her skin was already shifting dark to his eyes

Ala chuckled "You know how little I actually know about these people?

Torvil chuckled. "I know love... I know enough to keep us from getting killed... I hope..."

Ala chuckled "All right"

As they walked it started to grow a bit lighter as phosphorescent mold lit the walls.

Ala looked at her mate and chuckled

"What's so funny..." He asked.

"Looks like I married a Drow now" she whispered

Torvil looked at his arm. "Well I'll be..." He was almost night black. He checked his hair, which had a very light blue tint to the silver white

Ala smiled just watching him

They walked for about a day, Torvil not feeling the need to sleep. They came to a small gate guarded by two Drow, each wore a black sash with a white hand on it. Each had two cruel looking daggers on their belts. "Hold!" Said one as he stepped forwards.

Ala stopped beside Torvil when they were told to hold

"Name..." The guard said.

Torvil puffed out his chest. "Kizik Daggerdancer..."

The guards looked at each other and grinned. "Prove it..." Said one.

Torvil glared. "Give me a set of daggers and I shall..."

The guard that had stopped them tossed Torvil his, and the other stepped forwards.

Ala stepped to the side

Torvil set up in a ready position and the other did as well. Torvil had a strange smile on his face, making him look very sinister, especially with his black eyes.

Ala stood with her arms crossed part of her expression reading the hurry the hell up where as her eyes were traveling up and down the other men

Torvil charged the other man and they fought, knives flashing fast and aiming deadly.

The other male was sizing up Ala as well but watching the match also.

Ala's stance or expression didn't change as the match continued

Torvil drove one of his daggers up through the other man's jaw and into his brain, the blood from the blow getting on his face and arms. He laughed triumphantly and tossed the other man his daggers, and then stripped the man he'd slain.

Ala moved towards her mate with haste almost literally pouncing him

Torvil growled loudly and the two rolled for a bit before he got up and finished stripping the man and putting on his clothes, sheathing the daggers and smiling. He licked his lips. "Mmm, that was a fun fight!" He grinned at the other guard, who just opened the gate and let them through.

Ala grinned walking through the gate with her mate

Torvil chuckled and whispered in her ear. "Good show there love... Now remember... Uber mean and bitchy... Don't take no for an answer... especially not from me..."

Ala nodded and pushed him away

Torvil walked with her but not... Acting like he owned the place. He stopped by a booth that had strange looking plants... And bought everything, shoving lord knows how many anti-toxins down his gullet.

Ala pushed her hair over her shoulder and looked impatient "Gimme some" she demanded, she deep down hated acting like this but she knew she had to

Torvil huffed and handed her some. "And we're getting you out of that ridiculous outfit... I don't know what possessed you to wear it... You look like a beggar..." Torvil acted all puffed up and arrogant.

"Perhaps it was just being around you" she huffed back and grabbed the stuff he was handing to her

Torvil snorted at her and growled he caressed his daggers and sneered. "Hurry up!"

"Don't you tell me to hurry up I'll be done when I'm done" she finished a few moments later

Torvil growled and sneered at her again. "I'll tell you whatever I want to tell you woman!"

"Don't mean I need to listen" she said and walked past him in the direction they had been previously walking

Torvil grabbed her arm, spun her around, and slapped her. "You will listen to me you wench!"

"I will not" she said pulling her arm roughly from his grasp "I will do what I want and when I want to do it"

Torvil growled and grabbed her arm again pulling her closer and growling. "You will do as I command you woman..." He hissed at her giving her another resounding backhand.

Ala turned her head back to face him after he backhanded her eyes narrowed "You.. do not command me" she growled loudly reaching up and scratching him across the face narrowly missing his eye

Torvil growled and bit her on the shoulder, and that's when it got bad. Somehow they ended up on the ground, and punches started to fly from Torvil's end, as well as biting.

A ring had quickly formed around them and the other Drow were shouting encouragement. The woman for Ala and the males for Torvil.

Ala was giving it her all, biting him and very often scratching. As she fought her side of this staged fight

Torvil bit her ear and whispered. "Okay... this is it... I need to you go limp... now!" His hand came down on her neck what looked like hard, but actually he barely touched it.

Ala dropped like a rock when he 'hit'

Torvil got up and brushed himself up, then picked her up, moving through the crowd.

All the men were cheering, which earned more than a few slaps, kicks, or even bites.

Ala 'stirred' as he carried her

Torvil put her down then. "Okay... Lets get you out of these rags..."

Ala nodded wrapping her arms around her torso

Torvil walked over to a booth, and bought her a practically sheer outfit, that left nothing to the imagination. "Put it on now..."

Ala took the clothing and got changed

Torvil watched her tapping his chin.

Others watched her too, it was a very mean and spiteful thing to to, and he got quite a few nods from males from it, and glares from women.

Ala eyed the males the got glares from her even though she was sizing them up

Torvil smirked and once she was done. "Lets find us a place to stay..." He brought his mouth close to her ear. "Then we gather information..."

Ala nodded and sighed softly

"I know, it's rough... I'm sorry... but it's for Vina..." He broke away slowly and walked.

Ala nodded as if being told things but in actuality nodding her acknowledgement

Torvil found them a room at an apartment of sorts and got them situated. "We can go out for info now or rest..." He murmured..." Or rather... Not rest... as Drow rarely sleep in beds..."

"I want to get him and get out as fast as we can, the less time we spend lollygagging the better" she murmured

Torvil nodded and took her hands... "But we'll have to rest sometime or they'll ask questions.. They're not stupid... They will notice weird fast..."

"Yes, we will I'm just not tired yet" she replied

Torvil nodded. "Alright... Then back out we go..." He said softly.

Ala nodded "got to establish ourselves a little"

Torvil nodded. "You realize that I own you now..." He whispered. "Once we're out that door I can do anything to you and you can't tell me no..."

Ala nodded "Yeah you explained it on the way here"

Torvil nodded and smiled softly, heading for the door.

Ala followed after him quickly giving him a kiss

Torvil purred and held the kiss for a moment.

Ala broke away "lets go" she whispered

Torvil nodded and headed out. They walked a little, Torvil just barely dropping hints about things and getting info, that was until they ran into a woman who thought she knew better. "No, I don't know anything about a Joman..."

Ala walked near him eying the males they spoke to and being a down right grumpy bitch

Torvil just rolled his eyes and walked away from the woman.

"Hey! Get back here, I haven't finished yet!" She yelled

"Yes you are" Ala snapped at her before turning to follow her mate

Torvil smiled. That was until another Drow tapped him on the shoulder. "Your woman just insulted my woman... I'm here to settle the score..." He growled.

"Want I should insult you too?" she asked snarkily to the male that approached them

Torvil grinned. "No... I think he wants to die over it..." He drew his daggers.

The other man's eyes narrowed and he drew his.

Ala nodded to her mate

Torvil grinned and the two charged.

The crowed around them dispersed a bit but a lot watched the two men go at it.

Ala watched them hands on her hips

Torvil cut the man across the chest, dodged a blow to the eyes and stabbed him in the side before dancing away, and that was his first two blows of the duel.

Ala watched them though her eyes wandered to other males around them

Torvil finally just ended the bloodily... well at least on his opponents end... duel, with a swift strike across the throat.

Ala grinned seeing the fight end and again she literally pounced him

Torvil purred and again just rolled them around on the street, getting rather rough in this little make out session they had before he got up and started looking the other Drow.

Ala panted for a moment the got up brushing her new clothing off

Torvil growled and nipped at her as he came back, still actually charged from the fight and their little two minute romp.

Ala grinned as he nipped at her

Torvil nuzzled her neck right there in the middle of the street... Nipping along it slowly towards her ear, purring.

Ala tipped her head as he moved along her neck

Torvil purred and then stopped, not letting himself get too worked up as he broke away with a large grin, the people staring, a few snapping fingers and walking off.

Ala looked up at him with a slight grin

Torvil nipped at her once more before walking on.

Ala followed after her mate

Torvil finally decided to check on where they had Joman held. In the general stockade...

Ala was curious to see what they were up against and followed him

They found Joman in the stocks, right out front, guarded by two necromancers, their violet eyes glaring at the two of them as Torvil just looked at Joman.

Ala looked at Joman as if ogling him though in reality making sure he was ok and wishing she was able to send mental messages

Torvil tapped his foot...

And Joman smirked, he coughed strangely for a moment and smacked his knee against the stand of the stocks. Which got him cuffed by the guards for being a nuisance.

Torvil just sort of nodded, kicked dirt at him and stormed off.

Ala gave him one more 'look' then turned and chased after Torvil

Torvil waited for maybe two seconds, looking as if he was deciding where to go.

Ala caught up to him when he stopped

"He's fine..." Torvil leaned over and whispered. "He said they change the guard every four hours..."

Ala nodded "Ok Kizik" she replied as if replying to something he told her to do

Torvil grinned. "Good..." He said aloud. "Now lets be off for home..."

Ala nodded again turning in the direction of their 'home'

Torvil started walking, faking a yawn and pulling her close to him, pretty much showing her off.

Ala's eyes traveled over he people around them as they walked

Torvil finally reached the apartment and pushed her through the door.

Ala sighed as they entered

Torvil hugged her and sighed. "He's okay, that's the good news... now to get him out..." He let her go and sat down on the bed.

"Out of there and then out of here... can we reach the nether from down here?" she asked quietly sitting beside him

"Yes..." He said softly. "But it's taking care of the Necromancer guards... and the fact that he's held in plain sight..." He mused. "We may have to collapse the cave when we leave..."

"Energy help in that?" she asked closing a hand and pointed at it asking without asking in case someone listened

"It might... I could always..." He pantomimed tapping the ley and bringing it all down*

Ala nodded her agreement

"We'll see what he... wants..."

"I imagine he wants to see... them again" she moved her hands as if moving them over a large pregnant belly

"I'm sure..." Torvil nodded and looked up at the roof. "And he may not want to see them..." He pointed at himself, meaning Drow. "Again..."

"Wouldn't shock me" she sighed

Torvil put an arm around her shoulder and sighed. "I miss..." he motioned cradling his arms and rocking them.

"I miss too" Ala said looking down at herself "Uhm I have to ... fix something" she said noticing she had begun to leak a little from the milk

Torvil nodded and looked around. "Uh..." He would have blushed but he made a few motions to let her know how he felt he could help.

Ala nodded knowing the only way to get rid of the problem temporarily was to relieve the milk

Torvil slowly moved forwards.

Ala lay back........
