It was true that things did go on as normal. Well maybe Thalion had a bit extra to complain about with being stressed at the thought he needed to finish any repairs before they were attacked and that seemed to be a never ending job. Though each day was the same for him, like clockwork almost. He'd be in the house long enough to fix meals and do a few other things before he'd leave again.

Most of the time he seemed to live more in the shop then in the actual house. Though every so often he did pass out on the couch just from pure exhaustion. Neimi said he always had been like that, he'd rather be working and avoid interactions as much as possible. She never thought much of it and the only one he actually joked with was Felix. Well he would cut a few every so often but Felix was the main one that seemed to be able to force Thalion into doing anything. Granted that normally involved him just dragging Thalion against his will.

Though over time Neimi had managed to get conversations and such out of Mizuki. Even to the point where after a while he started telling her what she was doing wrong healing wise. With herbs anyway he couldn't show her anything with magic. Also she tried to not do any such practice around Thalion knowing he had tried for a few years to suppress or get rid of his own. To say the least that failed. She still had no real idea why he hated magic so much and he never told her or rather refused or avoided answering.

Raden didn't live with the two of them but he was a few years older then Neimi as well. He did drop by often enough as he sort of viewed Neimi as a little sister. Granted he was no where near as talkative as Neimi was. It was a interesting tale on how they came into Thalion's care. Both were unexpected and probably proved the Drow cared more then he would like others to think.

She sighed a little cleaning a few things up. "I do pay attention.." She pouted before glancing towards the door. Though she smirked a little at a idea she had. "Thats ok I know something to bring up that will annoy him." She laughed a little before putting the things away and flinching as Thalion was talking with Felix it seemed.

"For the last time no. You cannot convince me that it is a good idea to go out there in the bloody freezing cold, nor is that my job." Felix shrugged a little. "So put some more clothes on, if you'd stop wearing long sleeves all the time you might build up a tolerance for the cold. Besides I thought Drow lived in the mountains." "Yes exactly IN, not on. Besides that I have enough work to choke on without running off." Felix finally accepted defeat this time.

"Ok ok fine, I don't know why you just don't sign on as a fighter, you wouldn't have to struggle as much." Thalion looked at the other before rolling his eyes. "No then I'd have to take orders from you instead. I'd rather avoid the fighting thank you... no matter what amount of skill I have." With this Felix spoke a little to Neimi and Mizuki, he didn't get to talk to Mizuki much but during these months things were busy with supplies and such. Hard off was a good way to put things. though he left soon after and Neimi walked over to Thalion as he was cooking.

"So when are you getting married?" She grinned as he flinched at the word before glaring at her. "Implying to me and Felix or just in general. Though the answer is not happening." She crossed her arms before leaning back against the wall near-by. "Oh come on you have no desire to have a family? You pretty much already adopted one." She teased as he rolled his eyes still going about what he was fixing.

"Oh yes such a desire to have children.. almost one as much to get married... besides that I'd rather stay as far away from females of my race as possible. As fun as that was as a child." Neimi frowned a little. "Well marry out of your-" "No." She huffed with that quick of a answer before walking past Mizuki. "I swear you should marry your work." though she grumbled a little that normally he was more fun to pick on with that topic before she went into her room and shut the door.
