Sunil flinched at the touch, turning a pair of deadly sharp eyes to them, but when the pair of voices broke through he relaxed considerably - to where his expression was an apologetic one. Seeing the little one so distressed tore his heart in two, and he would bring a surprisingly steady hand up to brush over her cheek in a comforting gesture.
"S-Sorry, lass... Aye'll be fine," he murmurs softly, glancing between the two of them to let them know he was addressing them both. Then his leer returns when he shifts his attention back to his elder brother. "Ru... th' hell were yeh thinkin'?" he snarls quietly, obviously upset. "Yeh scared 'em both, yeh goat-headed id'ot."
The elder managed to get to his feet with one hand on his head, wincing but still grinning like a fool. "Aye, an' that w's th' point. Yeh did good, Sunny," he chuckles, offering Alystin a wink with his cocky grin still in place. He would lean in closer to his brother and hush his tone just a touch, despite the fact the woman was right there and could probably hear him. "Yeh know lassies like it when yeh fight fer 'em. Best way t' win 'er heart, wee brother o' mine - best be learnin' quick, now," he snickers.

Physical Description: As with most of the Drowish people, Alystin is very short of stature, and as a result, she is a minuscule 5'. Characteristic of the dark Elves, she has dark-colored skin, a very deep shade of grey that is nearly black, and her hair is pure white, falling to her shoulders. Her eyes are very expressive, and are a bright shade of aqua. She has a delicate bone structure and pointed ears.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Most often, Alystin wears simple dresses of plain wool, in varying shades of blue, grey, and green. She has a couple of finer ones made of silk, but those are kept for exceptionally special occasions. Generally, there are a few items usually to be found on her person, consisting of a worn brown leather satchel that contains several items. Among these items are a book of handwritten notes, an inkwell and collection of quills, and a leather bag with separate compartments, in which she usually keeps various kinds of plants and herbs.

Alystin didn't move when he turned those eyes on her; she met Sunil's look boldly, fully confident that he wouldn't hurt either of them. His apologetic expression was met with a small smile, and Eli sighed happily when he stroked her cheek, grabbing his fingers in one tiny hand for a brief moment. Then, apparently satisfied with the situation, she dropped her head tiredly on her mother's shoulder, and thrust her thumb into her mouth. Alystin remained silent as she watched the conversation go on, although when the older brother winked at her, she simply arched a snowy brow and gave him a flat look. Seriously?
It was when the redhead's words reached her ears - she was an Elf after all, even if she was a Drow, and she had excellent hearing - that she became flustered. He thought..? But why would he..? Her cheeks flushed, and she seemed to fluff up with indignation as she leveled a glare on Sunil's brother. "Of all the wool-headed things to do." Huffing in annoyance, she whirled away and moved back toward the blanket, talking to herself as she went. "Men! Attacking a woman and child just because he's got some silly idea that his brother is interested in me! Honestly! I've never heard such a ridiculous thing in my life."
Flopping down on the blanket, she reached into a nearby basket and produced a small clay jar filled with grapes, which, after setting Eli on her lap, she held so that the girl could eat the juicy purple spheres. Still flushed with embarrassment, she pretended that she wasn't looking in their direction, even as she kept casting glances toward them past the loose portions of her hair that had fallen forward. Surely his brother was just being an annoying big brother, right? There was no way Sunil was interested in her. ..Was there? Completely unaware of the hopeful look on her face, Alystin raised her head and looked in their direction, her eyes shining in the afternoon light.

Sunil just... just... what...? He glanced to Alystin with a bewildered expression with his jaw slack. His gaze bounced back and forth between her and Ruahd, broken sounds escaping him as his words seemed to fail him - even as she huffed and stormed away. She would definitely see the brilliant shade of stark red color his face.
When the woman took a hearty interest in feeding her child rather than them, he assumed she wasn't watching. He doubled up a fist and came around at a full 180 turn and decked the elder brother square in the nose, laying him out flat with a roar. "YEH IDIOT!" is all that comes out.
The red haired male goes down with a yell, hands coming up quick over his face - pretty sure his nose had been broken. But after all that, he just pushes himself to his feet with one hand holding his nose and proceeds to hobble back out the way he came with a wave over his shoulder. "Yeh can thank me later, lad!" he calls over his shoulder, still certain with himself that he did right. Job well done!
This left a very flustered and red-faced Sunil standing in the clearing by himself, staring at his brother's back as he left. When the man was out of sight he turned his eyes over to Alystin - what the hell was he supposed to do or say now?! His brother had ruined everything? He just stood there, looking very much confused while switching out between ruffling his hair and rubbing his neck. Man, oh man...

Alystin watched his brother leave warily, giving the red-haired man a vaguely admonishing look, then her gaze returned to Sunil. Once Eli had finished the grapes, she gave the girl a stuffed horse from the basket and set her on the blanket so she could play. Then the Drow woman stood and made her way over to where Sunil was standing. Fidgeting anxiously, she gave him a small smile, twining her fingers before her only to unlace them and repeat the process a few moments later. "You're bleeding.. please, won't you let me tend your wounds?"
Without really waiting for a response, she reached out and took Sunil's hand, then began to tow him back toward the blanket. Gently pushing him in an indication that he should sit, she then produced a small medical kit from the basket and sat beside him, turned so that she could look at him. Eli babbled and played happily nearby, oblivious to what was going on between the adults. Producing a clean rag and a bottle of water from the nearby spring, she dampened the rag and began to gently clean the various cuts and scrapes he'd received during the tussle with his brother. Thinking of the red tiger-man made her scowl slightly, although she was blushing vigorously when she spoke. "I can't believe he would do such a thing, and for such a silly reason." Insinuating that she was interested in Sunil.. and that Sunil returned the interest! Of all the ridiculous notions.. even if she did want to kiss him... No, bad Alystin!

Sunil could barely make a sound, let alone try to get comprehensible words out. He didn't resist as she tugged him along and gave him indication to sit. Nor did he move when she began to clean up his scrapes and wipe away the blood. But he couldn't do a thing to make the deep crimson blush go away from his face, that now crept into his ears, too. Instead he shifted his eyes over to the side and stared at the dirt.
Why did his throat feel swollen, and he couldn't seem to get the nerve to talk? His head was screaming at him to say something, but nothing was coming out. Hell, he couldn't even unhinge his clenched jaw to try. On the odd occasion he dared to flick his eyes over to her face when he couldn't stand it anymore - and damn, she looked so cute and yet beautiful blushing like that...
He forced a mental image to the front of his brain - the closest thing he could get to actually bashing his head in the tree. Bad Sunil, thud. Bad Sunil, thud.
Finally he managed to get his throat to clear, but his voice sounded... just a touch higher in his own ears. He hoped she didn't hear it. "... w-well... 'e's dumb, yeh. But... yeh know... y-yeh are nice, lass. Uh... anyone coul' like yeh." He clamps his jaw shut, just feeling dizzy as it got extremely warm within his own skin. He was pretty sure she would laugh at him after that one.

Once Alystin was satisfied that she'd gotten the debris out of Sunil's various wounds - being very careful to clean the blood away from the corner of his mouth, all while trying to pretend she wasn't staring at his lips - she drew a small bottle of green-tinged fluid from the basket. When she opened it, the scent of juniper wafted out, and she poured a bit onto the clean end of the rag. "I'm sorry, but this will sting." Her tone was just as apologetic as the glance she gave him, and then she began to gently clean out the wounds. At the first sign of pain from him, she flinched, and unconsciously petted his hand in an attempt to apologize.
Intent on cleaning his wounds with the antiseptic mixture, her gaze intent on what she was doing, she tensed when he spoke, and her wide eyes rose to his face. The blush which had begun to fade from her face returned with a vengeance, and she licked her lips absently, before biting the lower one in a nervous gesture. "..I.. thank you.. I can't help but disagree, though.. most men would run the other way when they saw Eli. It takes a very special sort to care for another man's child." Lowering her gaze back to the application of the antiseptic as she poured a bit more of the fluid onto the rag. "But you.. you're.. you're so sweet, and kind, and gentle, and handsome.. any woman would be lucky beyond words to catch your eye."
Ducking her head and allowing stray strands to tumble forward, just enough to block her view of his face in her peripheral vision, Alystin cursed herself mentally. Why had she said that? It was true, he was everything a man should be - all the things she'd listed, as well as intelligent, protective, and dear gods that body - but why did she have to go and say that? She didn't need him thinking that she was interested in him like that. But her movements paused as her eyes widened in realization. She was interested in him like that. She barely knew him, but something about Sunil called to her, luring her out of the protective shell of books and plants and work and Eli that she'd hidden in since Zekoj broke her heart. Did she dare..? No. There was no way Sunil did, or could, care for her like that. Hiding her disappointment at that knowledge, she resumed gently dabbing at his wounds.

Sunil would suck in a breath and wince at the first application of the fluid - it did sting. But then again, he'd dealt with worse on the hunt. He could muscle through this. What threw him off were her words. He bit on his lip at the mention of men running because of her daughter - how could someone not love that adorable child? It didn't make sense. Sure, he wasn't a father, but he could - wait. No. Bad. That was trying to read into something way too fast to comprehend.
But, damnit, if she didn't make him feel like one... maybe he was looking too far into it. But it was looking very much like she held an interest... and he did, too. Even thought they literally just met. There's an attraction, right? Yeah, there has to be. Well, he felt one to her. Maybe there was.
A breath huffed out his nose as he willed his mind to shut up again for the umpteenth time. He decided to do something stupid - because he wanted to. No second guessing this time. Flustered expression and all, he brought a determined stare up and looked straight at her - even if she was hiding her eyes. He flexed his hands a bit before he did anything, to try and keep the nervousness at bay. If she didn't fight, one hand would take her wrist in a firm but gentle hold - to stop her from nursing his scrapes. The other hand would come up to press his knuckles beneath her chin and guide her to look up at him.
Much to his own self loathing, he couldn't hold her gaze for long. He would keep her chin tilted as his eyes cast down to the ground between them. But despite the lack of eye contact, he leaned in closely, a touch off to the side as if to whisper to her ear. And his voice was low and gentle, and perhaps a touch shaky.
"... Aye... Aye think yeh caught mine."

Alystin went still the moment Sunil grabbed her wrist, and she pulled her other hand away, thinking perhaps she had hurt him. Before she could look up and apologize, though, she felt his knuckles gently pressing upward on her chin, urging her to meet his gaze. Teal eyes met blue, her brow crinkled in worry, and concern filled her expression when he looked away. Why..? Had she done something to upset him? The thought disturbed her greatly, and she felt her throat tighten in dismay. There was no chance to ask, however, as he leaned in, and then she both felt and heard his words against that sensitive ear. Her eyes rounded in astonishment, and suddenly nerveless fingers dropped the rag that they had been clutching in a death grip.
"..What..." That single breathlessly uttered word fell from her lips as she tried to process what he had just said to her. It was easy enough to puzzle out what he was referring to, when applied to the last thing she'd said. But it made no sense. Why would she have caught his eye? She was a tiny, shy, bookish Drow, and a mother to boot. How could he be drawn to her? Unable to help herself, she turned her head, letting her look at him squarely as her gaze searched his face, filled with a questioning light as she stumbled over the thoughts pouring out of her mouth. "Sunil, I.. I don't.. understand.. you.. but.. me? Why?"
It surprised her to realize that her free hand had risen and that her fingertips were now gently stroking his cheek, almost as though she were trying to get him to look at her again. Something deep inside her brain was screaming to pull away, that this was a terrible idea, that he would just hurt her - Zekoj had done nothing but break her heart again and again, and he had claimed to love her. Why would Sunil be any different? Because Zekoj was never gentle, and Sunil has been nothing but. That logic was undeniable, but it did nothing to soothe the anxious pounding of her heart or to silence the part of her brain telling her to run away before she got her heart broken again.

She succeeded in bringing his shy gaze up to meet her own, still complete with the tomato colored cheeks that refused to give back to his natural skin tone again. He felt her fingertips brush his cheek and he gave into instinct, pressing against them just a touch and a rumbling purr vibrating in his chest - like a very content tiger. This would bring a very embarrassed smile to his lips, but it was wide - wide enough to show her his pretty white teeth. It almost gave him a boyish look - like a love-struck little child that knew no better.
He made a sound as he tried to process the question she managed to stutter out. "... Aye'd... Aye'd be lyin' if Aye sai' Aye knew," he mumbles, his hand at her chin moving to ever-so gingerly brush the back of his semi-curled fingers across the back of her hand that rest to his face. It was almost as if he was scared to touch her.
The grin shifts into a grimace as a bit of logic starts to take hold of his brain - about damn time. "... if Aye'm bein' t' upfront... j-jus' say so, Alystin. Aye-Aye'll stop. Jus'... Aye dunno." His mumbling trails off as, once again, his brain just shuts down on him - and made him sound like such a fool. How the hell did his brother do this so easily to lassies?

A tiny smile flickered across Alystin's face when Sunil purred in response to her touch, but it was a fleeting thing: There one moment, gone the next. He didn't know. Somehow, that just made it all the harder to dismiss. Perhaps because, the fact that he couldn't put it to words made it all the more.. genuine. The logical reasons why she should be drawn to him didn't even begin to hold a candle to the purely emotional sense of how right it was that she yearned for him. The sudden change of his grin into a grimace filled her with a momentary sensation of panic, until he spoke again. Then she was shaking her head, and instinctively reaching for his free hand, grasping it in her own and gently twisting her fingers into his.
"No, it's.. it's alright, I'm just.. well, I'm surprised.. more than I can appropriately express with words. No one has.. not since.. her father." She struggled with the words, making the confession far from an easy thing for her. Mentioning Eli drew the woman's gaze to where the child sat, happily bouncing her toy horse along the ground, basket, and tree roots that surrounded her. Her daughter was her world.. and Sunil clearly adored her. She looked back at him, her eyes peering intently into his as she tried to make sense of what she felt, and put it into speech. "..But I can't deny that I'm.. drawn to you. Something about you calls to me, tells me that it's alright to trust, to.. to care..."

Sunil felt his heart sink as she changed in demeanor with the simple mention of Eli's father - whom was obviously not here. And now he had to guess that he wasn't a part of the picture. That made his blood boil - who could do that to a beautiful woman like her and such an adorable little girl?! Especially that was his own flesh and blood! He never once heard of a father abandoning the pack he made - that wasn't right!
He caught himself growling quietly and stopped, clenching his jaw. He continued to listen. And then, just like a flip of a switch, his heated blood calmed save for the bit that colored his cheeks. Now he felt his heart pulse just a little faster - she wanted to trust in him. It took every ounce of his tiger-y being not to smother her in a powerful embrace and take her lips with his own - the reminding knowledge that the little girl was right there helped considerably. Instead he gently squeezed the hand she held in her own, and would lean forward to gingerly bump his forehead to her own if she would allow. "Aye... ... yer th' sweetest, prettiest lavende' bud in th' whole bed, yeh know. If yeh woul' let meh stay near, Aye'll look afte' yeh. An' yeh can lemme in th' bed when yeh feel yeh can... no rush. No pressure. Jus' yeh."

It didn't take a psychic to discern why Sunil was suddenly growling, and Alystin couldn't suppress a small smile at hearing the rumbling sound that emanated from the beautiful man sitting before her. Strong affection shone openly in her gaze as it searched his features, admiring the contours and angles of his face. Those eyes widened in surprise when he suddenly leaned toward her, and then she was being graced with a tender gesture that was undeniably feline as his brow gently nudged hers, so much so that she breathed a soft, delighted little laugh. It was just so.. so.. adorable. Then she felt her cheeks heating to a heretofore unimagined degree.. and definitely not just because of the compliment.
"Oh, my." The words were exhaled on a shaky whisper. Bed? Her bed? With him in it? And her also in it? Unfortunately for the scholar's vivid imagination, she could picture every moment of that, and it was glorious. Tamping down on those mental images and the very physical feelings they inspired, she tilted her head and brushed her nose gently against his, bringing their lips within a hairsbreadth of touching. "I.. I would like it very much, if you were to stay with me.. with us.. I want to get to know you better.. and one day.. we can..." She smiled shyly, even while mentally calling herself an idiot. She had a child, why couldn't she just say, 'Yes, you delicious man, one day we will make beautiful love and I will never let you go'? Probably because that wasn't very Alystin-ish. She'd always been the shy sort.

Suddenly it was way too warm... but they were outside. He couldn't really solve that issue. But she was so adorable and lovely when she was so meek and shy. It really made him want to snuggle her so badly, gather her up and hug her tight and nuzzle every inch-
BAD. SUNIL. BAD.
His breath hitched up in his throat for a minute and he struggled to find some distraction. Anything. She had tapped very improper thoughts with her response - seems his words took a different route. Not that he was complaining, really... but they were improper! He sought solace from those naughty thoughts by glancing over to Eli as she played. Yes, she was sweet and innocent - she did well to help him clear his head. As he watched her, his shy grin widened to a silly one, and he chuckled as he nuzzled his forehead to her own a moment. He had no words, but hoped his gesture said enough.

The lack of response initially worried Alystin, but when he chuckled and nuzzled her again, the Drow relaxed considerably. Tilting her head, she pressed a tiny, innocent kiss to the corner of Sunil's lips. She wanted to kiss him properly, but she also wasn't quite sure she was ready for that. Especially when Eli, apparently growing bored of playing by herself, stood and toddled their way with her plush horse in hand. She climbed up onto his lap and reached up, tapping the horse's head against his cheek with an inquisitive, "Kiki no ow?" Alystin giggled, reaching over to smooth her daughter's white hair with a gentle hand.
"His name is Sunil. Can you say 'Sunil', Eli? I'm sure he'd like it a lot if you did." The toddler eyed her mother skeptically for a moment, then looked up at Sunil himself, as though for confirmation of both of these things. Then after a moment, she screwed her little face up, and gave it her best shot. "Suni. Suni no ow?" That was the closest she could get, but it was apparently good enough for her, and she looked up at Sunil very seriously, intent on getting an answer to her question. Alystin smiled, her eyes shining with love for her daughter, then looked up at Sunil. Her daughter adored this man already.. what a good thing they were in the same boat, then. He was already easily worming his way into her heart.

He leaned back as Eli made herself at home in his lap, effectively breaking the heated air between the pair of them. A part of him was glad she did. Another part wasn't, but he couldn't be mad at her for anything. He chuckles as she bops him with the stuffed horse. He waits for the speech lesson to come to a close before offering her his most assuring grin.
"No. No ows. Sunil's a'right." He would bring a hand up to ruffle her hair and poke at her neck beneath the jaw to tickle her a bit. If she responded positively, the other hand would come up to gently pinch at her ribs under her arm on the other side. "Nooooo more ows! Nooooo more ows!" he would laugh, continuing to play and tease the toddler.

Physical Description: As with most of the Drowish people, Alystin is very short of stature, and as a result, she is a minuscule 5'. Characteristic of the dark Elves, she has dark-colored skin, a very deep shade of grey that is nearly black, and her hair is pure white, falling to her shoulders. Her eyes are very expressive, and are a bright shade of aqua. She has a delicate bone structure and pointed ears.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Most often, Alystin wears simple dresses of plain wool, in varying shades of blue, grey, and green. She has a couple of finer ones made of silk, but those are kept for exceptionally special occasions. Generally, there are a few items usually to be found on her person, consisting of a worn brown leather satchel that contains several items. Among these items are a book of handwritten notes, an inkwell and collection of quills, and a leather bag with separate compartments, in which she usually keeps various kinds of plants and herbs.

The little girl squeaked and giggled when he poked her neck, wriggling excitedly as she said, "Ticka ticka!" And then when more tickles were forthcoming, she began to squirm and flail about, laughing uproariously. Alystin stifled her own laughter, and whenever she managed to catch Sunil's eye again, she gave him a grateful look. He had protected her, and her daughter, and now he played with the child as though it were the most natural thing in the world for him to dote upon another man's child. In a way, she was glad Zekoj wasn't around anymore - Eli deserved to grow up with someone who loved her, not a father who didn't want her.
Taking advantage of the girl's distraction, she leaned in and kissed Eli's forehead, then Sunil's cheek, with a soft murmur. "Thank you." Then she stood, moving over to get back to tending to the various flower beds littered around the area. She was a little behind in her work, which she was perfectly okay with, since it was a direct result of Sunil's appearance in her life. She began to hum softly as she worked, weeding and gathering with the sun shining off her hair. This was the happiest she'd been in quite some time, and even as she worked, she caught herself glancing over toward the pair, as though she expected Sunil to suddenly disappear, leaving her alone and lonely once more.

Sunil didn't vanish. He didn't want to - how could anyone want to with this adorable toddler?! He continues to play with her, and his grin only grows wider with a flush of brilliant color as she kisses his cheek. His cheeks actually hurt from how hard he grinned.
Well now he had little Eli to entertain! How was the best way to do it? He continues to poke and pinch and prod until she is rolling around on the grass. When he managed to get a moment to escape, he would scramble up and bound away a few paces - a leap casting him in smoke to emerge as her favorite "kiki". The black and blue tiger would make a sound akin to an excited bark to the girl, head down to the ground with his rear end up in the air and tail twitching around. He was ready to play!

Eli was clearly enjoying the tickling and attention, even throwing her horse in a random direction in her excitement. When she went tumbling off his lap and onto the grass, rolling and cackling as she was tickled, she paused for a moment to catch her breath while Sunil changed. She then pushed herself upright, and looked upon the returned tiger with wide eyes. Then she squealed in delight, a high-pitched, "KIKI!" that made Alystin look over curiously. The sight of Sunil, crouched down like an oversized kitten and prepared to play with her daughter, sent the Drow woman into peals of laughter, a hand rising to cover her mouth and try to silence her mirth. A failed attempt, but at least she tried.
Eli rushed over with delighted squeaks and threw herself at the tiger with all the glee a happy two-year-old could manage, and Alystin let her hand fall, taking a moment's break from her tasks to watch her child play with the new man in her life. Thinking of Sunil that way made her eyes widen, but she realized it was true. He was in her life now, in Eli's life.. and she already knew that it was for the better. Pulling one leg up against her body and wrapping her arms around the appendage, she rested her chin on her upraised knee, watching the two at play with a look of complete and utter contentment. How had she not know this was what she was missing in her life?

Sunil met her little fling with his head to keep her from flopping face first into the dirt, giving her a nudge to make her stumble before hopping over to the side and taking the playful ducking stance again. Despite his size and power, his eyes told it all - playful and kind, to the point of silly excitement. For every rush the child made at him he would leap about and meet it with nudges and purrs and nuzzles, to the point of rolling her in the grass and making very soft nips at her belly to tickle her anew. Hearing her screech with glee was music to his ears and made him feel like a child again - and he happily indulged in the feeling as Eli continued to play with him... or rather, he played with her. This was her fun time.

Tripping, stumbling, flailing, rolling, and laughing all the while, Eli continued to play with Sunil until she was flushed and panting with the exertion. Alystin, who had gone back to her work shortly after the play began in earnest, looked over just in time to see the toddler stagger and flop onto her backside with a tired giggle. That was cue enough for her, and she withdrew from the harvesting of nettles on the far side of the pond with extreme care, removing her dragonhide gloves and moving back over to where the two were located.
"I think it's about lunch time. I hope you two are hungry." Swooping in and plucking up an eagerly nodding Eli, she carried the girl back over to their blanket and basket, dropping the gloves into the vessel before she sat down with the girl in her lap. She first pulled out a small lidded cup of smooth wood, which she offered to Eli, who began to happily drink of the orange-flavored water within. Then a large flagon of mint tea was produced, along with some loose chicken pieces and green beans in a sealed clay container for Eli. Items wrapped in oilcloth made an appearance and were laid out, mostly sandwich components - slices of bread, pieces of roast chicken, a few leaves of lettuce - but also a sweetly spicy mustard in a jar, and another of sliced strawberries, and a small bag full of sliced potatoes that had been sprinkled with herbs and baked to a crispy crunch.
"Please, help yourself." This was said to Sunil as she smiled at him, then she unsealed the container with Eli's lunch in it, and took the cup of water before it could tumble out of her daughter's hands. Setting it aside, she held the container so that Eli could pick pieces of food from it and cram them into her little mouth with gusto. Alystin snorted a soft laugh. Table manners. That was going to be a fun lesson with her little messy eater.
