RP:The Drunken Elf

Background

After Raz plans to pull a prank on Mura, while he tries qutting alcohol, Mura feels that he must start up many different punishments until it all boils down into one overall punishment for the woman.

Later on her friend comes over to check on her, only to find a loopy drunken version of her usual self.

Punishments

Raziel is followed by her usual horde of rabbits, and Kraar upon her shoulder, as she makes her way back to the shop. She's forgotten, as well, that she was still wearing her mask and hood, and forgot to replace her gloves over her hands, in an attempt to hide her bandaged up burn. She pauses for a moment, pondering if Mura's on the roof again... or if Bresk would be waiting inside to grab her and tie her to the chair so she can't leave again. But she simply shrugs and goes to the door, to leave the rabbits outside.

Muraski trailed behind her slowly; no sounds or scents to give him away, such a distance that it would be beyond hard for her to notice him. He followed in the shadows, always watching, always waiting, until she entered into the store and some three minutes later he would finally enter in.

Raziel removes her mask, placing it within her satchel, as she determines that no one’s home. Meanwhile Kraar flies over to his usual place atop the cash register, and Raz was just about to go back outside to her bunnies... Only to come face to face with Muraski, once he enters. The young elf's face becomes that of a bright red when this occurs, "Uh... Hi Dad..." is all that Raz can say, in a rather quiet and nervous tone, and taking a step back at the same time.

Muraski moved forward towards the girl, a small kiss placed upon her forehead, "Hello, child. How have you been the last few days?" He moved towards his chair, no mention made of anything he had heard or seen within the week.

Raziel blinks in surprise at the kiss upon her forehead. "Uh... Been better, I guess." she'd answer, turning around and flexing her right hand. Even with the medicine placed upon it, her hand still hurt somewhat. She'd be very confused, as well. ~Had Bresk not told him anything, yet?~ the elf ponders. Raziel, however, would not go to her chair yet. She'd simply continue to stand there, a look of confusion stuck upon her face.

Muraski took a seat in his chair and looked up at the girl, "Everything okay, Raz? Did I do something to upset you?" He tilted his head, as he played with mock confusion. "You can always come sit on my lap if you missed me that much... You're my kid after all.. Though, I would prefer you to take your own chair.."

Raziel shakes her head. "No, you haven't done anything to upset me... I just ran into my first wraith, is all..." she'd say, trailing off as she continues to wonder. As she speaks she would head to her chair and sit down. "Um... Is everything okay with you, Dad? ... I haven't seen you in a few days." she lightly rubs her right hand's palm, as she speaks, still confused about why she didn't seem to be in trouble yet.

Muraski sighed as she mentioned the pesky creatures, "I see.. I see.." He frowned, "Those things happen to be more trouble than they're worth unless you find someone else to deal with them." He once again feigned confusion, "Me? Why would anything be wrong? I realize we haven't seen one another in some time but I can manage on my own.." He loved toying with the kids mind.. She would find out soon enough.

Raziel rubs the back of her head, utterly confused by all of this. "Oh, that's not what I meant it's just that... Erm... Have you talked to Bresk lately?" the elf asks her question as though it was just out of pure curiosity... Though her facial features would betray her for a split second.

Muraski shook his head as Raz's question was asked, "Not within a day or so, he has been missing." He raised a brow suddenly, "Why wasn't he with you?"

Raziel freezes at those words. "Oh... Uh... He was... But um... The wraith, the one that took my dagger... She uh... Threw bees at myself, and a shaman man... And he had to teleport us away, or we could've been seriously injured... And I kinda... Sorta... Accidently forgot about him... I hope he's not looking for me..." the woman's face would be completely red by the end of her words, and she sounds rather nervous about it all. She was certain Bresk would have come back to the shop and told Muraski what happened, after all.

Muraski shrugged off her words as if they meant nothing to him, "Oh.. So you left Bresk to be off with another man?" He seemed rather non-chalant about it, "Seems reasonable enough child." He turned towards the door, a small whistle made as Bresk finally entered. "This seems rather odd though.. Because, Bresk says he was in the tavern with you then you just disappeared.. And Bresk is by no means bad at tracking.. So, are you sure you didn't leave to be with this shaman?"

Raziel sits straight up, as she hears Bresk enter. ~Oh, hell....~ she thinks... "Uh... I heard some commotion outside... The wraith was attacking the shaman, or trying to at least... And I was just listening to the fight... And before the shaman left I called to him... Because I found my blade, and it got cursed in a way... I thought he could look at it... I didn't mean to leave Bresk behind....." she sounds very nervous about this whole situation, as she was not near the shaman for very long. "And, all the shaman and I did was discuss about what happened to my blade, and he helped me tend to a burn on my hand... See?" the elf soon holds out her bandaged hand, palm facing Mura, so that he could see. "And then he brought me back to the tavern in Kelay... And Bresk wasn't there... I'm sorry..."

Muraski sighed at the female as she continued to speak about all these different things that just seemed... Not to matter. "No offense child but you disobeyed me.. Again, and again, and again." He sighed, "And.. You brought me alcohol after you knew I was quitting... How do you honestly think I would react?"

Raziel blinks, in shock. How'd he know about the alcohol? She didn't even bring it inside yet…. For, she hadn’t known that he spied on her when she spoke to Roytoc about her prank. She drops her hand to her lap as her shoulders slump and her head drops, as well. "I didn't use my head again..." Raziel frowns and unwraps the bandage from her hand, there was still some medicine on it from the shaman helping her, but she would hold it out to Muraski. The hilt of her blade would be branded into her palm and the base of several fingers. Directly in the middle of her palm is her daggers name, in drow, burnt into her flesh. "I'm sorry...." she would say, a few tears streaming down her eyes. She didn't mean to disobey him again, she was trying -really- hard this time to follow his every rule. So why did she have such a hard time accomplishing that? "I deserve any punishment you give me, I know..."

Muraski looks at the woman “Bring the alcohol inside… Then we’ll continue talking.”

Raziel simply nods, placing the bandages into her satchel and moving outside to where she hid the alcohol. She'd have to take three trips, for her hand hurt too much to carry several crates. Two would have normal alcohol, and one was from the previous night, containing several bottles of wine and brandy. She'd set them on the counter and then sit back down, silently awaiting her punishment.

Muraski watched as she came back inside with all the crates and when finished he stood, moved towards one of the bottles and uncorked it. Once done he turned around and handed her the bottle, "Drink. All of it."

Raziel frowns, and takes the bottle, the scent causing her to shudder. "Umm..." she'd had been about to argue about that, but simply sighs. "Fine..." and she'd take one sip from the bottle, making a face when she swallowed. It tasted repulsive to her. But she'd continue to drink until the bottle is empty... She didn't seem to like it much, at -all-.

Raziel picked up 1 gin.

Raziel drank a gin.

Muraski shook his head when she finished the first bottle, "You're drinking all of them, every last drop of it and nothing will be to remain in this house." He pointed towards the back room which seemed open, "You'll take off your leathers back there, no more wearing them till it's done." And he paused to let her absorb that, "Along with the fact that you'll be getting that wound of yours healed by a healer, nothing non magical. And that's not even close to the end of my list of punishments."

Raziel looks shocked by that first punishment. "But that's almost 100 bottles! I'd be sick for a month!" she'd accidently argue. Then she'd listen to the other punishments, and the fact that that's not even half of what's in store for her. She'd stand, and head to the back room, sighing and cursing herself. "Yes, sir..." she says. Once she's finished removing her leathers and replacing her usual clothing, which feels odd being that she'd gotten used to them already... She moves back and grabs another bottle of alcohol, just as she was told to do, then sits in her chair. "Anything else?" the blind woman asks, quietly... Hoping vainly that the punishments don't get worse, as she takes a pull from the bottle of alcohol, shuddering afterwards.

Raziel picked up 1 cognac.

Raziel drank a cognac.

Muraski began to ponder over the various punishments he could instill upon her and finally he just smiled, "Yes, at night you will sleep outside. You will not leave, you will stay within distance of the shop, and if I hear you vanished you'll never be allowed to step foot around me again." He sat things over, there had to be more, "Oh right, no more training.. With anyone.. You're to delay all lessons till further notice. Basically, you'll be living like you were before you met me.. Just that you will still be forced around me and drunk constantly."

Raziel swallows hard at those two things. Sleeping outside was fine with her, but now it appeared she was on house arrest too. Though, as painful as this information was to her, she simply nods. "Yes, sir..." she'd accidently let a tear escape her, but she'd brush it away before it could trail too far down, and take another drink from the bottle, as she thinks over these punishments.

Muraski blinked, "Oh.. One other thing. You're going to spend time with that males you love so much while drunk.. See how honorable they are when you're so easy to take advantage of."

Raziel chokes on the drink when he says that. "WHAT?!" she'd say, while coughing. She didn't want Zalctor to see her drunk, nor did she want Aeonis to see her that way... Not that he could when he’s passed out. "But-but-but... I can't let him see me like that! I've never been drunk before!"

Muraski shrugged briefly at the woman as she made such a big commotion about it all. "I see, I see.. But, Raziel.. You see.. I don't care anymore.. You refuse to listen and I've just begun to cease in caring. What's going to happen is you're going to learn.. Oh, and that booze.. Will be gone in a week."

Raziel allows a few tears to fall from her eyes and then she shakes her head, and suddenly downs the rest of the bottle, practically slamming the empty bottle against the floor when she finishes and goes to grab another one. "Fine! I'll do whatever you tell me to. But I'm not going to like it!" she'd then take a bottle of whiskey out of the crate and down that one too, coughing painfully from the feel of it, and almost falling over from her coughs. But the woman seems determined to show Muraski that she's capable of obeying orders. Once she regains herself she grabs forth a bottle of brandy and walks back to the chair, a tiny amount of stumbling mixed in with that.

Raziel picked up 1 whiskey.

Raziel picked up 1 apple brandy.

Raziel drank a whiskey.

Muraski blinked, a look upon his face, "You think I care if you like it or not Raz? You broke my orders again. You continue to disobey me.. You fail to listen ever.. So, this is how I do things. You listen to what I say because I say it, not because I care if you like it or not.." He paused, "Oh.. And if you let that foolish other side you love so much out, I'll be adding to those bottles and making more severe punishments."

Raziel shakes her head. "Fine by me. I'll do whatever you say this time..." then she'd grip the bottle of brandy hard in her hand at the mention of her other side. "And I don't love Her! I hate Her, and my friend Korra taught me how to lock Her away." then she'd down the bottle of brandy as well, her mind beginning to get clouded, and she could feel her movement becoming a bit out of her own control. When she sets down the empty brandy bottle next to the other bottle she accidently tips one over, but doesn't care. She'd only flinch at the noise, as she carefully stands up a bit wobbly. She seemed to be concentrating hard on what to do, as well, when she goes to grab another bottle. Surely it is not healthy to down so many bottles in so short a time frame.

Raziel drank an apple brandy.

Raziel picked up 1 pirate brew.

Muraski seemingly found it rather amusing of how fast she was to be downing bottles, in fact, if she kept up at this rate she would probably find herself to die of poisoning. Though, that was none of his concern till she fixed the mess she created. "Alright, child, and when you got to puke, head outside, if a drop spills on my floor I'll be adding more to your list."

You're Soooo Niiizzze...

Raziel blinks, fingering the bottle of Pirate Brew... She didn't want to drink a single drop more, for alcohol tastes so foul to her tongue. "I won't puke.... I'm just a leeeetle dizzeh...." she'd say, in a cloudy tone, shaking her head as she tries to get herself to properly think. "Can I stop drinking today? I think four bottles is enough, riiiight?" she didn't have an appearance of being sick... But, surely, if she downed any more for now she'd be just about killed by this experience. Then her blushed face would turn to where Muraski is, though off by a few inches. "Dad, I love you, you know that?" the odd elf says, with a smirk upon her lips.

Muraski rolled his eyes at the female as she asked about ceasing to drink, "It's your choice, child.. In fact, I really don't care.. But you better be drinking it and it better be gone within a short amount of time." He blinked at the next words, "Yeah, why Raz?"

Raziel giggles, in a funny lightly drunken sort of way, a silly grin appearing upon her face. "I jus' wanted you to know, Dad... Hehe... You're so much fun, and you're soooo niiizzze..." she'd giggle again... Oh dear, she's goofy when she gets drunk! "I carezzz about you more dan hennyone!" hennyone would have been said ridiculously quickly, too. "Evens more dan Aeonis and Zalctor... Dat's whys I keep coming back." she'd giggle a third time, setting down the alcohol, too, as she continues to hold that funny smile upon her face.

Muraski looked at the female and sighed, "Interesting, you're acting.." He sighed, "Alright well, I'm glad you care but if you truly did.. Why do you never listen? Why do you treat me and what I do like shyte?"

Raziel cocks her head as her smile becomes a little sad frown, and blinks "I don't means to Daddy.... I luvs you, and dunt likes ta hurts ya." a few tears fall, too... Oh, this should be fun... "I iz a bad daughter! I don't knows whyz you keeps me... I iz jus' so gratefulz that you do... But I keep hurting you and being bad, and I is sowry!" Now the woman’s practically full blown crying as she speaks. "Zally and I didn't do anything... He's and I's jus friends... And you didn't believe me... But I still loves you, and know you's jus protectin me, cuz we iz family... And you and Kraar, and mah bunnehs is deh only families I's gots..." as she's talking her head is in her hands, and her words are muffled by them... Hooray! Funny -and- emotional. Good luck Muraski!

Muraski sighed as the female spoke, perhaps she had more than enough. He lifted the crates of booze, only two bottles left on the counter, and moved outside of the house. Each bottle was dumped into the sewers before he returned. "Child, turn around." He moved into the back room and returned with a box.

Raziel blinks as she hears him take away the booze. "Huh-wha?" she'd say, as she listens, rather confused. "Turns awound? Eh... Okayz..." the girl would do as she told, a few tears still falling from the woman's eyes. "Whyz I gots ta turns around, Daddy?"

Muraski opened the box to reveal an elegant blade, though it seemed rather odd. He moved towards the female and held it in front of her, "Reach up and grab but be careful it's sharp." He then moved back towards his seat, he wasn't done but he wanted her to hold it for a few moments. After some time he would speak again, "That's the LeskoVac engraving knife... It has one purpose and no, you can't keep it."

Raziel feels the blade, her senses there just enough to register what it was, though she -does- almost cut herself with it. "I dun wantsta keeps it, it gots your name so it's yous... Why you shows me dis Dad?" she asks cocking her head.

Muraski was indeed becoming too soft, "Off the chair and come towards me. Sit down in front of the chair but turn away from me." When that was done, her back towards him, he would grab the knife from the female and remove her shirt. The tip of the blade pressed against her skin, "It makes the family seal, child. Once it's made, the magics of the weapon leave it there forever.. Only one person remaining has this mark.. I'm thinking of making it two, if you're interested."

Raziel more or less stumbles over to Muraski, and sits down by him, leaning her head against his leg, like a child would, and holding up the knife. When he takes it and explains to her, though her mind is very cloudy, she'd nod. "Mhmm. I trusts youz, Daddy. I knows what you do is best for me. I iz fines with having that on me, pwomise." she'd giggle again, though Muraski may want to think of holding her steady so she doesn't mess up the mark. "I thoughts we not likes magics though..." she'd say, with a loopy grin... With all the alcohol she'd probably not even feel being cut. "I loves you, Dad."

Muraski sighed.. "Actually child, wait till your mind.." Grr, he was having issues with this. Instead, his hand gripped her shoulder, while the other began to craft the mark into her skin with the knife. When it finished, her name would write itself into her flesh, as if by magic. "For now child, don't worry about it.. Just go sleep for a few hours.. We can talk later but I'm going out.. My head is all mixed up.." He stood from his chair, her lifted underneath the arms and placed where he had been sitting moments before, uncaring of the blood. "Figure things out, child, I will too.." He moved for the door as if to leave with that.

Raziel waves, in a goofy fashion to Muraski. "Hokay, Daddy... Bye byez... See you whens you get back...” Her head was still so cloudy from the drinking, and her stomach hurt, though not enough to get her to vomit. She would probably fall asleep within the hour, but for now, she would simply lie there and hum like a child on pain killers... A silly smirk upon her lips.

Muraski Returns

Raziel would be sleeping upon the chair, curled up in the same exact way a dog would sleep upon a chair, with her hands placed upon the right arm and her chin atop of her hands. Her face still has that goofy drunken smirk upon it as she sleeps there. Stark white hair in moderately short curtains around her face, and in front of her eyes, and she takes very calm breaths. She doesn’t seem to notice any sounds around her, either, and she smells of the alcohol that she was ordered to drink… Oddly enough, it seems, downing 4 bottles of alcohol had caused the elf minimal damage… She hadn’t even gotten sick from it. But, surely, drinking that much would probably cause her quite the first hangover… Probably making it even less likely that she’d want to ever drink again.

Muraski reentered into the house and moved to a seat behind the counter. Eyes rested upon the drunken female as he sighed, he just wasn't sure what to do with her.. He knew on some parts that she was great company, specially when she was lonely.. But on the other.. She frustrated him more then anything else.. He moved, grabbed the box, and placed it back into the back room before retaking his seat behind the counter. Eyes found her once more, he needed to think on this, an answer would be needed.. But, he just couldn't think of one..

Raziel yawns, a little and curls up more, mumbling something in her drunken state. "No, no Boss... Da carrots must be shared..." then she'd be so curled up that she's practically just a ball of white fur trimmed clothing, and white hair. "Omnomnom..."

Muraski blinked rather suddenly, a wtf look on his face. His eyes would roll but once again he made no mention towards the female. "What to do.. What to do.."

Raziel stretches, as she lies on the chair, only to fall off and land on the floor upon her back, eyes shooting open as her head hits it. "OW!" The drunken elf yips, grabbing her head with both hands, and curling up at that pain. She was still drunk, but her head now hurt from that. "Awww... I wuz hasing a good dream about the bunnehs..." suddenly realization snaps into the woman's head, and she pauses. "Wait... I don't have dreams... The hell?!"

Muraski seemed extremely perplexed, "Erm, you don't have dreams?"

Raziel blinks and then sits up "Hi Dad..." she'd say, shaking her still cloudy head. "Nnnnupe.... Never hadda dream.... They is weeeiiirrrda..."

Muraski still seemed confused, "Umm why are they weird?"

Raziel shrugs. "Cuz I neva had one... That wuz my first dream... Boss wuz stealing Ty's carrots..." she'd yawn, and crawl back into the chair, curling up like she was before, and rubbing her sore head. "That floor huuuurrrrrtsss...." she'd groan, in a child-like fashion.

Muraski sighed at the random oddity that was the female, "Get back to sleep, you'll need it because you'll feel like crap tomorrow."

Raziel actually whines a little. "But I iz no tired anymore... And whyz would Iz hurts, Daddy?... Iz da floor gonna attacks me again?"

Muraski nodded, "Yep, going to raise out of the ground and eat you.. it does that occasionally."

Raziel faces Mura, her eyes open rather wide at that... Clearly Mura can trick her -much- easier when she's like this. "Eeeep! But I no wanna ta floor to eats me!" then she'd scooch back as far as she can on the chair and hug her legs, facing the floor. "I ista no tasty floor, I means it!" The drunken elf's face is one of pure shock at this, too. "Dad, please no let da floor eats meh!"

Muraski sighed... Was she really that drunk? He pointed towards the outside, "I heard if you run really fast it can't get you! Hurry, get the bunnies and flee..."

Raziel shakes her head. "Na-uh! You said I no leave yard! And I no touchy da floor... I be good gurrrl I swears!"

Muraski nodded at the woman as he stood, "Fine, fine, you sit in here and I'll stand outside." He moved for the door.

Raziel holds out her arms to Muraski wiggling her fingers, eyes wide. "Wait! No leaves me in heres with da floor! It'll eats meh for sures!

Muraski smiled in response, "That's my hope!"

Raziel opens her mouth wide at that. "But-but-but... I've been good gurl so far! I drinksed lots, and I tooks off armor, and everyting!" a few tears would come down her face, and the woman would face the floor, tapping her booted toe against it, and then falls off the chair and quickly crawls to where Muraski is, weakly grabbing his shoe. "Pwease, Dad! I be good, I do whatever punishments hyu wants me to haves! Jus pwease no let me get eated. I loves you!" she'd say, crying and bowed down to him while she holds his foot. "Pweeaase?"

Muraski grabbed her hand and quickly moved out the door without a second hesitated. Once outside, he set her in a chair nearby, he didn't want the place to smell like puke. "Alright, child, sit there.." The male then leaned against the building upon the corner, far away so that he could continue to think about what to do in utter silence.. or, at least as much silence as she might allow.

Raziel yips as she's dragged outside, and set in a chair. The rabbits would swarm around her, even though she smelt of alcohol. "Oh, herroh bunnehs..." she'd giggle, the floor forgotten. "I hadda goooood dream wit you guys in it..." the woman wouldn't pay attention to much else but the bunnies at the moment, for her cloudy mind wouldn't allow her to multitask for now.

The Last Punishment

Muraski once more went over his options for the female, time and time again he would think about the different things he might do and with a nod he had decided what he was going to do. He walked back inside and began to write upon a piece of paper, a note for her to have and when finished she would receive it for when her mind sobered up.. He certainly hoped this might be what she needed to wake up.

Raziel blinks a couple of time "Oh Daaaaaaad? Where'd ya go?" the elf asks, when he moves back inside. Raziel would stand up and wander around the yard, stumbling every so often, until she finally trips and hits her head again... Which, oddly enough, clears up a portion of the fog... At least enough so that she can talk better, though she's still drunk. "Oh, blood hell, that hurt!" she'd grumble, holding her head as a very tiny amount of blood seeps out from the side of her forehead, where a small cut was made by the fall. "Eeerrrrg... Ouchies..."

Muraski continued to write his note, he wanted it to be just right. A signal was made to Bresk to keep the female out, he didn't want her in till he was done. When it was all finished it read something along the lines of, "Child, this store will be turned into yours whereas I'll be moving into the new one.. I need you to prove you can be trusted and use your head, there is no better way than this. So, your punishment is to be without me, no longer near my side because I can't stand watching you neglect the brains inside your head any longer. This way, the choices, the decisions, and the mistakes you make will no longer weigh upon my shoulders and will be entirely yours to commit. Bresk will leave you well enough except to guard the shop, he won't report to me anymore, only you and he will follow your orders without fail. Make the store run, make it flow, and when you grow enough sense within your head to do well I will finish the ritual with the family signet along with accept you into the new home.. Until then you're on your own.'

Raziel stands up, wobbly. "Erm... Hell... Bleeding... Bandages..." Raziel wanders back to the door, to open it. "Dad?" she'd ask again, still unsure of his location as she reaches the door, holding her hand to her forehead.

Muraski nodded to Bresk to open the door and as such he did, the mobster to quickly exit and guide Raz back to her seat. "Raz, here is a note, Bresk or Kraar can read it to you.. But, I'm leaving for now. When you finish it and understand it intelligently enough, find me out if you have questions. Otherwise, I mean every word of it."

Raziel is quite confounded when that happens, taking the note, her mouth slightly agape. "Dad, I... I don't understand... What's going on? Did I do something?..." tears begin to well up in her eyes, both from the pain in her forehead and the confusion of the situation. "What do you mean, 'find me out if you have questions.'? Are you leaving?"

Muraski simply nodded at the female, “I am leaving and don’t follow me till you sober up. Bresk or Kraar will read the note to you but for now, I have to go.” With that he turned to leave.

Raziel could only look shocked, and horrified at that... For he was leaving a drunken elf at his shop with Bresk, a raven, and a horde of Ucha bunnies. Then she'd sigh and turn towards him. "Ok then... Good bye, Dad... I love you... Good night..." then she stands up to make a wobbly entrance into the shop, walking past Bresk and going straight to Kraar, shoving the note in front of the birds face. "Read." the bird would read the note to her, even have to repeat because of her foggy mind, but once he finishes she simply walk over to her chair, a pale look on her face. Once she sits down, her hand would brush against the pirate brew that was there yet. The girl forgot it to be alcohol and would grab it and take a pull from it, setting it down, she was shocked by this, evening in her drunken state. "I'm a horrible child..." she'd mutter to herself, and then, note still in hand, would set her elbows against her knees and press her hands against her forehead, as if she were praying, as a few tears run down her face. "I'll do my best, Dad... Promise."

The Drunk Elf, And The Drow

Raziel || Bresk would be standing outside the door, as Raziel had told him to do so. The rabbits would be all curled up by the store, sleeping in a big group. The crates from all the booze would be sitting beside the house, nearly all the bottles from them inside and empty. Raziel, on the other hand would be inside, sitting in her chair.

Roytoc || Zal would approach the store cautiously, he knew Muraski didn't like him, and he also knew something was wrong, for Raz's mind had become rather cloudy over the last few hours, he hoped so bad that she wasn't hurt. Zal would be wearing his usual leather attire, complete with trench, boots and all, he would look through the windows as best he could to make sure all was okay, though he could hardly discern anything. The Drow would finally stop in front of the door with a sigh, would he even be allowed in? It didn't matter, if something was wrong he would break in, Zal would rap his knuckles sharply against the strong wood, hoping for an answer.

Raziel || Bresk would open the door, and look down at the Drow. The area of the store where Raz is sitting is unlit, because she didn't need light, after all. She'd be sitting with her feet flat against the floor, her elbows upon her legs, and her hands clasping a now crinkled up note. She'd have her forehead against her hands, as though she were praying, while tears silently stream down her face. "Let him in, Bresk...." she'd say quietly, and Bresk would step aside. If one looked around the shop they'd see two bottles of whiskey sitting upon the counter, an empty bottle sitting beside the other two. At Raz's feet would be empty bottles of cognac, gin, and brandy and a nearly full bottle of pirate brew. She could only vaguely tell that it was Zal at the door... Mura was, clearly, gone... Though a good portion of his things remained.

Roytoc || Zalctor would look around the store with a curious look upon his face, where was Muraski at, did Raz drink all that, and what was she so sad about? Zal would slowly walk up to the woman, not knowing that the no touching rule no longer applied, he would kneel in front of her and look into her eyes as best he could, though everything seemed to be dark now. "Raz, what's wrong, ssinssrigg, are you hurt somehow?" He would ask her softly, taking her hand in his, whether the touching rule still applied or not. "Do you need something, I can help, dear, you know I truly can," He would once again say in a caring tone.

Raziel would suddenly hug him, letting all her sadness out, as she still clings to the note. She was hurt, actually... Her forehead had a cut and a slight bruise, for she tripped outside from being drunk, and there would be blood seeping through her clothing, on her right shoulder blade. But she wasn't injured as a punishment. Then once the woman finally calms down a bit, though her head remains buried in Zal's shoulder, she would hold up the note for him. Bresk had begun to go around the shop, lighting candles, as the shop was getting quite dark. Then the elven woman would finally get out "He... He left..." Raziel, unfortunately, -had- drank all the alcohol... So she quite smelt of the different alcohols that she drank.

Roytoc || Zal would hug the woman back tightly, holding her against him; he didn't have any problem with this and was happy to comfort her. The Drow would brush the hair from her face and softly kiss her forehead, noticing the small cut and bruise, though he knew it would be fine. Zal would smell the strong alcohol, indeed he would, and he could tell she had been drinking heavily, he hadn't known she was a drinker. "Who left, Aeonis?" He would ask gently, for he wouldn't expect her to cry like this if Muraski left, as well as this was his store. The Drow would just hold her tighter, expressing his love for her; Zal would take the note though, to read it, he didn't know who had written it.

Raziel shakes her head "M... Mur... As... Ski..." she'd say, between sobs. She, indeed, was -not- a drinker... But she was so stressed out that, despite how much she drank earlier, she had started drinking the pirate brew... Even now she would sit up and fumble her hand around for the bottle... Though Zal would probably take it from her as she tries to remove the cork. She'd sniffle a little as she continued to try, and Kraar would caw to her scolding. "He jus... Wants to see if... He can trust me... But I'm gonna kinda miss him..." Truly Raz wasn't as sad as she seemed... But drinking seems to cause her to switch between being funny to being emotional. Finally Raz gets the cork out and raises the bottle to her mouth.

Roytoc || Zal would softly take the bottle in his hand, pulling it towards him so the woman would let go, he would set it on the floor and look back to her, "Alcohol only makes pain greater, you don't need any of it," He would whisper, once again looking into her eyes. He would think over what she had said and sighed, "He can trust you, you are a wonderful woman and you will do fine, and now I can stay over here more often and help you out. I'm sure you will miss him, but he will surely miss you, and he loves you like you love him, though he gives tough love." The Drow would brush a hand through his hair and continue watching her, hoping she would cheer up. Zal would stand up and lightly pick the woman up so he could sit in her chair, once he was seated he would place her on his lap, or rather upper thigh, then he would hold her tightly again, they were closer now and this was more comfortable.

Raziel makes a bit of a whining noise when the drink is taken from her, even though she hates how alcohol tastes. But then she would nod to what else Zal had to say. "I know... Usstan ssinssrigg dos, Zal..." then she'd allow her to be picked up and held against Zal. Slowly her tears were coming to an end, and she would swallow hard. "Zal... What am I going to do? Muraski was my teacher, and now I don't have one... And now I have to work the shop, but I can't see anything... And I don't know how to run a store... Bresk is gonna help, but... I'm supposed to be taking Mura's place in here... It's just so weird..." then, perhaps in drunkeness, she'd place her left hand against Zal's cheek, and kiss his other cheek. "I'm glad you came to check up on me, by the way." and she'd place her head against his shoulder.

Roytoc || Zal would enjoy the kiss upon the cheek, and he would kiss the woman back in turn, truly he didn't mind the smell of the alcohol, in fact, he sort of enjoyed it. Zal would understand where she was coming from, "Raz, I love you, of course I would check on you, and if you wish I can stay more often and help you. I can be your teacher, as well as Aeonis and maybe Roy if he would accept, we can teach you many things, and I can help you memorize the merchandise a bit, and I can organize it so you will know where each different item is," Zal would say in a soft tone, quite happy she had stopped crying. He would involuntarily begin gently stroking her cheek, the feel of her cool porcelain skin was one he enjoyed…

Raziel would smile, though due to the drinking it comes out loopy. "Thanks you Zal... I'd likes that lots!" unfortunately, now that her emotional side of this was gone, her goofy side seems to be returning. "I hopes Roy can help too. Maybe he should talk to his big brother, too." she'd say, patting Zal's chest, just above his heart. "He needs to know you're good and sweet and kind, and-and-and.... And he said last night that you is good man... He not knows I wuz talking bouts you... But he still thinks you good, so maybes you two should talk?" she'd giggle softly... However, this giggly happy drunken state she's in will probably only end in a horrible hangover... But she seems rather overjoyed at the moment. "I luvs you three jus soooo, so, so... Much!" she'd grin.

Roytoc ||Zal would quirk a brow at Raziel and stifle laughter, a lot of laughter at the way she was acting and talking, it really made his night, it truly did. "Roy only said such because he doesn't not that it is me dear, once we see each other I will try to talk calmly to him, only because I love you so much and you wish for me to do such. He would smile wide, truly the smile would take up all his features, "Thank you Raz, I love you so much too, you are the only thing to bring me happiness, and even though you are drunk I am glad that you can relax, be at peace for once," The Drow would say, kissing her knuckles with a grin.

Raziel giggles, again. "Maybe I should be there, whens you speaks to Roy." she grin "Cuz we's alurl abbilen, and I pwomised to protects ya." then she'd blink a couple of times as her head moves back to laying upon his shoulder, and she'd say in a dreamy manner. "Heeeey.... How's Varil doin'? Hehe... You got him pretty good, that one day when I gived ya da metal thingy." she'd grin up at Zal, with her eyes closed, as another giggle escapes her.

Roytoc || Zalctor would brush his hand continuously through her silky hair, he loved this distance between them, her head resting upon his shoulder, he loved everything about this moment and it gave peace of mind. "I think you should Raz, it would be better for us all, he respects you as well and will do as you say, and I will not defy my true love," He would whisper in her ear, a smile on his face. At the mention of Varil he would shrug, "He is fine, no longer unconscious, he is back to being my shadow though I bring him out rarely as a punishment, I wasn't going to let him hurt you," Zal would say offhandedly, staring at the elven ring that Raz had given him, it was still on his left ring finger.

Raziel grins and giggles. "Muraski made me drink as punishment..." she'd snicker a bit at that. "Guess he didn't like me buying him alcohol as a present..." then she'd move and wrap her arms around him, "I iz glad dat Roy respects me... I can goes wit you dan... Muraski is havink me makes ma own decisions ontill he feels that I iz smartish... Teehee... And as ma first act of smartishness, I sayzzz no mo drinkin for dis elf." and she'd point at herself, with her index finger and a rather goofy smile. "Also... I wants us four to be like a BIIIIG happy family! Cuz, because... you know whyz? Family isn't about whose blood you have..." she'd let out another giggle, before finishing her words but continues "It's about who you care about... And I carez about all of you... Even though it's different levels of care." then she'd go back to having her arms wrapped around Zal. By now Bresk had finished lighting candles, and lanterns, and rolled his eyes at Raz's words. He would then go to the kitchen and close the door, not wanting to hear any more of her drunk talk.

Roytoc || Zal would nod at this, she was even wise when drunk, though she was still acting extremely goofy, it only made Zal smile though. He would hug her tightly at this words, taking them to heart, he didn't want to go back to Vreg'Nth Ssin, he wanted to stay with Raz. "I know Raz, family is who you care about, and I care about you so much, I wish to make you happy however possible," He would say softly, inhaling her scent of strong liquor and the ocean. "And that is good, though don't quit alcohol forever, just take less, and only drink on celebratory nights, this will make everything better," He would advise her with a grin.

Raziel giggles again and shakes her head. "Nuuupe. I neva drank before I came heres... Hehe.. I not like da taste... It's all ickly tasting to me... I tinks I should only drinks a leeeetle if I eva do. And, me wants to make you *at the word 'you' she would lightly set her index finger on Zal's nose* happy too... Except dat I knows I can't be wit choo, cuz of Aeonis. But udderwise I wants to make choo happy too." then she blinks and a smile grows on her face, though only momentarily and it turns to a frown. "My birthday...." she'd mumble, and seem oddly happy yet upset by that.

Birthday Plans

Roytoc || Zal smiled softly at this, he knew that if she wasn't with Aeonis then she would be with him, she would make him happy and they would be inseparable, he knew this and he knew that Aeonis wasn't going anywhere, and he knew he would make her happy. "Thank you, Raz, I love you," He would whisper before she began speaking again. He would be curious about her birthday though and why she would frown at the thought of it, "When's your birthday Raz, and why don't you seem happy about It?" He would ask curiously, hoping he didn't offend her somehow with the question.

Raziel blinks, for she had been a little zoned out. "My birthdays on that day... Um... Da spooky day... Very soon... Erm... Less dan a month but mo dan a week... Erm... It wuz day father abandoned me in woods to be eated... Dan I gots found three days later and saved... Animals always talk of my story in de woots.... I iz gonna be 337 den... I not celebrate birthday, doe..." she'd shrug at this, and as she was talking her right hand was fiddling with a lock of his hair, spinning it around her finger in thought.

Roytoc || Zal hugged her a bit tighter at this, giving her comfort, he would softly kiss her cheek as well, "He was a fool then, you have grown to be a beautiful strong woman, full of innocence and happiness, you have another family now," He said softly, closing his eyes and holding her. "Three-hundred and thirty-seven, wow, you're almost as old as Roy, yet you act so much younger. Raziel, if you wish, we can celebrate your birthday this year, we can make it full of happiness and love, I can get you whatever you desire, just tell me what you wish for," The Drow said in a soft tone.

Raziel smiles and giggles "But if he no abandon me, I'd be proud und pompous elf, I bet... Not strong, innocent wolf girl." then she'd nuzzle her head against his neck as he speaks of celebrating her birthday. "Zal... All I wants for my birthday is You, Roytoc, Aeonis, and Muraski to all get along. If you can gets me dat, den you are meh hero... And I'd like that, a lot." she'd say with a grin, raising her hand to Zal's face and very lightly patting it, and then giving him a quick kiss on the neck, though she views it to be out of friendship.

Roytoc || Zal frowned deeply at this, he only came here to kill Roy, but Raz didn't want that, and he wanted Raz to be happy, Zal was so confused. The Drow would think deeply on this and frown, he wanted her happiness and she wanted this, "Okay Raz, I will try my best, I love you so much and wish for your happiness, if this is what you want, then I will do it. I will talk to Roytoc before your birthday, I will make sure we get along, and then he can talk to Muraski," Zal explained softly to the drunk woman, for truly he wanted this as well.

Raziel grins, for she hadn't seen his frown. "Really?! Thank you, Zal!" she'd say, with great joy. "I not know what Roy done, but forgive and forget, yes?" she'd say with a nod, soon giving Zal a cheerful kiss on the cheek. "Dis goin ta be da -best- birthday uff ma life! And den we all be biiiiiig happy family, like we 'sposed ta be!" when Raz says the part about being a big happy family she shoots her arms out to the side, palms open, as if she's trying to show just how big of a family they'd all be... It would then be noticed that her blades handle is burnt into her hand, along with its name in drow... Though, Wind Howler is the name she gave it and the drow name is its original name. "I loves ya all so much... Oh, and I'd say to invite meh udder friends but they be a troll named Groth, and a girl named Korra... Who tis no all there, if you get me... But she is sweet." then she'd move back against Zal, both her hands placed on his chest again. "Oh... Also... I no think anyone should sit in Dad's chair... He no here, but dat chair is his, and I respect that..." she'd add, leaning her head just under Zal's chin and closing her eyes.

Roytoc || Zalctor Smiled jovially at her words, he loved her so much, she was sweet and innocent, and she was trusting him to make this the best birthday of her life, and he would do it. She wanted a family, that's all she wanted, someone to love her and love each other, he would never leave her, and he would make sure she would remain a happy woman. He would notice the burn on her hand, but he already knew about that, he had been watching her mentally as it was happening and had actually been on his way there, but she had taken care of herself. He would wrap his arms around her again as she rested her head 'neath his chin, and he would laugh a little, she was childish but he enjoyed making her happy. "I will do my best to make this your best birthday ever, Raz, we all love you." Zal would kiss the top of her head, smiling to himself. "And no, no one will sit in Muraski's chair, it's his."

I Loves Choo!

Raziel takes a deep breath, and exhales slowly, her mind was slowly clearing through all this. "Tanks ya, Zal. You really is mah bestest friend in da -whole- world! And I ista glad we met..." then she'd suddenly start laughing and she says "I iz soooo drunkskies right now, ain't I? And Iz bet I gets a big hangover tomorrow too!" the elf was giggling about this whole situation, because she thought, in this drunk state at least, that her whole drunkeness was just the most hilarious situation ever. "Hehehe... I iz glad that you came tonights, though... Bresk would go cwazy if he had to deal wit me, but you no seem ta mind... You is patient wit me, and loves me, and dats why I loves choo!" when she says choo she squeaks just a bit.

Roytoc || Zalctor wouldn't be able to contain his laughter this time, it truly was hilarious, she was extremely eccentric whilst drunk. Zal would stifle his laughter a bit as he says, "Of course I don't mind, I'm very patient with you because you're just acting cute, very cute and very happy, and that makes me happy." The Drow would laugh someone as he continued to hold the woman, his shoulders bobbing, "And yes, I'm sure your hangover shall be horrid, but I'll be here to comfort you, if you don't mind I can spend the night," He would say softly, for he knew many ways to get rid of hangovers.

Raziel smiles and nods. "Mhmm. I'd like that veeeery much!" she'd say, giggling and happy that Zal was laughing too. "Oh, and Aeonis was brought back and put in the tunnel... He gots a pillow and blanket though." she'd say with a grin. She'd been caring for Aeonis as often as possible, though she couldn't while drunk. "He ist still out." she'd add. Then another grin would appear upon her face. "I'm glad choo can stay da night too... I no likes it when you's stuck in da shack all by yourself... Vailkrin izza scary zumtimes... Oh, and if choo talks to Roy den dat means-a you can walk around without disguising yerself... And den we can go for walks and stuffs together like friends do... Even go to da tavern in Kelay, maybe." Raziel seemed just so happy to see her friend again, and to know that he would be there for her.

Roytoc || Zal nodded to the woman, "Yes, I don't like staying in Vailkrin all by myself either, I have issues with being alone and you are aiding me with them, and I thank you greatly for it Raziel. And I am glad Aeonis is okay, I'm sure he is getting enough rest in the tunnel, he'll be safe there for a while, until we heal, or we actually get Gwen here again." Zal would smile at her last comment, for that really lifted his heart, "I cannot wait for that moment Raz, I would love to walk around with you in the open, to be with you and spend time with you without disguises, that will be great."

Raziel nods in agreement to his words about Gwen. "Yup! Gwen ista good healer... But Aeon need to be awake first, so we can sees if he wants to be healed... And I not like to be alone either... I been alone for many, many years... I sick uff it." then she'd give Zal the biggest hug she can muster, which isn't very much right now. "And I can no wait either... We go talk to Roy when I no drunk or hung over, maybes?"

Roytoc || Zal nodded as he stood up, holding Raziel in his arms, "Indeed Raz, maybe when you are sober, I'm not sure if I'm read yet though," He would say softly, heading towards the bedroom, which was now her's. Zal would softly place her on the bed and sit next to her, "I think it's time you finally went to sleep though, as well as I, if you want I can sleep in the other room," Zal would say, though the tone suggested that he would rather stay in the room with her. He wouldn't invade her privacy, if she wanted him in the other room he would go.

Raziel holds her arms out to him, with a smile on her face. "You sleep so good when I iz your teddy bear. I wants you to sleep good again." she'd say, with a smile. She was drunk, of course, but she would probably need Zal in the same room, as is, to make sure she doesn't get up and wander outside or to help her hangover in the morning. "Besides, you is nize and warm." she'd say with a giggle.

Roytoc || Zalctor would smile wide, he really hadn't expected her to say that, it was probably that she was drunk but the Drow didn't care, he would only be holding the woman, nothing more. Zal would throw his trench coat to the side and take off his vest, he would kick off his boots and remove the leather pants, for he had coarse shorts underneath. Zalctor would sidle up to the woman and go to her outstretched arms, she was so beautiful… He would wrap his arms around her and she would probably do the same, this was going to be another peaceful night, and Zal was happy about that, Though he knew in the morning he would have to take care of her and make sure she was alright, get her a wastebasket to puke in if need be, and get her water. "You're nice and warm as well, Raz," He would mumble to her.

Raziel grins and snuggles her head into his chest, as she wraps her arms around him. She was happy, whether drunk or not, because she still doesn't grasp whether things like this were right or wrong. "Good night Zal... I loves you, dear. Usstan ssinssrigg dos..." then she'd giggle again, "Heh... I just imagined myself with Drow skin... Hehe... I iz so silly whens I iz drunk, ain't I?" she'd ask, curling up a bit closer to him... Her drunkeness certainly does make her different...

Roytoc || Zalctor would stop himself from imagining that, he knew it wouldn't turn out well if he did, for the woman was already Drow-esque in appearance, if she got the purple-ebon tin the didn't think he would let Aeon be with her. "Yes you are Raz, and I love you too, I've never loved anyone before you, and I enjoy the feeling," He would whisper to her, closing his eyes. He knew he was going to sleep well tonight, the woman would help with that, he just hoped he wouldn't wake up covered in vomit.

Raziel smiles and snuggles all the more closer at those words. "You and I is good friends, we'll be protecting eachother forevers..... Zal? Umm... How long do half elves live, anyways?... Cuz I'll be really sad if something happens to either of you..." she'd ask quickly, her drunkeness making her quite blunt about things.

Roytoc || Zal would think on the matter, rather hard in fact, gathering all of his prior knowledge, "Drow can live to be sixteen-hundred years old, and even more sometimes, but that hardly ever make it to that age, so I will be around for a long time, Raz. Elves can live to be twenty-hundred or so I think, so you will be around for a long time more, Raz. And Half-elves, since Aeon's other side is human, He may live to be ten-hundred, if even that, it's hard to determine, though he wont live as long as us, not by a long shot," Zal will say in a soft compassionate tone, hoping not to sadden Raziel.

Raziel frowns at this, for it did indeed sadden her. "I not knows we live so long... Poor Aeonis... You know... He ist -very- young compared to us... Though I don't think age matters much when der that big of a difference... Is der anything else I should know? Or do choo tink I should get zum rest?" she'd ask, nuzzling against him.

Roytoc || Zal would nod, Aeon was only about two decades old, he wasn't nearly their age at all, "No, age doesn't made that much with such a difference. And maybe you could learn more, since Aeon is a half elf, he is sterile, which means no matter what, if you want pups with him, it can never happen, it would be impossible," Zal said softly, he knew she wasn't thinking about children yet, but this was just for the future.

Raziel blinks at that and pulls back, 'looking' Zal in the face, in confusion. "Really? I not knows dat! That's really sad! Ty's a half elf, too, I tink... I feel bad fo dem now... I'd hate to live not able to have meh own children... Though I not want anys till I onderstands da world... I not good role model yet." she'd say with a nod, and then curl back up against Zal, soon playing lightly with his white hair again.

Roytoc || Zal Would nod, "Yes, I feel bad for them too, I want a legacy, I want children to teach things to, to love. I'm sure you were become a wonderful mother Raziel, when the time comes, you are beautiful and good-hearted, and you care for family above all else. There is nothing more a child can ask for." Zal would stroke his fingers through the woman's hair and remain silent, he knew he would have to be with a Drow, so that his child could have children, but he didn't want that… "Would you like to know anything else, Raz?"

Raziel shrugs, as she continues to twirl her fingers through her hair. "I not know... Oh... But, if choo wander into someone who looks like me, check der hand or left arm... Der's a shapeshifter dat stole meh face... But I so covered up her not know uff all deh scars I has... And Der is lots uff dem... Specially meh left arm, ant back... And where Nameless gots mah ankle... No let him steal you... Wear mask if choo sees someone choo tink ist him... I not want your face stolen, too... And no drink anyting he gives you... It poison or someting... I swatted it away..." she'd then yawn softly. "Zal, ist der anyting else hyu wanted to talk to me about? I'z fine with anyting."

Roytoc || Zalctor would nod, he understood and he had saw what had happened, "I will make sure to check, Raz, I know you, I wouldn't even have to check the scars, I probably could see through the disguise. And I'll make sure my face isn't stolen Raz, for you enjoy it to much," Zal would say with a smile and a laugh. After a few minutes of silence he would speak up again, his voice soft, "No, Glitch, there is nothing more I wish to talk about unless you do, I'm rather tired but I wouldn't mind talking to you more, I love you," The Drow would explain.

Raziel smiles, and nods. "That is good..." she'd yawn again. "Oh, hehe... I had my first dream earlier... Did you do that?" she'd giggle when she remembers it. "My dream was Boss stealing carrots from Ty..." as she whispered that she'd close her eyes, thinking of the silliness of the dream. "It was a good first dream... I hope I never get nightmares..."

Roytoc || Zal would smile to himself, what an odd dream, Raz was a silly character alright, "Don't worry, I wont let the nightmares come, ever. I'll only let the dreams come to you," The Drow would whisper to her, softly kissing her upon the lips. It was a kiss shared by two best friends, not by lovers, it was one of trust, "Goodnight Raz, I'll see you in the morning."

Raziel smiles, even after being kissed, and nods. "Mhmm. Goodnight Zal. Loves ya, lots. Sleep well." then the elven woman would curl up in his arms, and wait for sleep to take her. The woman was simply happy for right now. She cares so much about him, even if they can't be together... It would be noticed that her minds fogginess seems to be clearing, as well.

Roytoc || Over time, Zal would finally fall asleep, the woman in his arms.
