Rabbit smiles up at Luke,
”I am more than happy to listen to cats. I am starting to grow fond of the situation.”
Rabbit lays there, on Luke’s arm. She sighs heavily at the knock, rolls her face into Luke’s shoulder and swears in drow for a few moments. She then breaths in deeply against Luke and rolls back facing out..
“By all means come on in.”
She rolls her eyes quickly, stopping before the door opens.

Key opens the door and sticks her head in first followed by the rest of her body. She closes the door quietly behind her. “I owe Rabbit an apology.” She turns to Rabbit. “Im sorry, I wasn’t thinking about anyone but myself. I didn’t realize what the contract would make you do.”
She looks around abruptly realizing what she just did. “I did it again. Im sorry. Do you mind if I sit near the door and listen to your stories Luke?”

Luke smiles, "If you want. I am always willing to tell some stories." He looks bemused as his room has not become very popular.

Rabbit pats the floor next to her as she stretches against Luke.
”You did nothing against my will. I was doing what I liked.”
She frowns slightly though, as if thinking of something.
“However, the Artherien thing wasn't me. I don't blame him for anything, and that didn't even hit more than a hard night of partying, however I definitely want nothing to do with him. You are definitely welcome here by me! ”
She pats the floor in beside herself exhibiting a large smile.

Key relaxes and settles down next to Rabbit. “You are like a sister to me you know.” She pats Lukes leg.
“And I couldn’t do without you either.” She smiles ip at the two. “These are stories that you wrote Luke?” She settles in and waits for Luke to begin.

"I don't really write them. I just collect Sehkmetian parables. There re actual church doctrine and teachings to a degree, but it's the stories I always liked best," Luke explains.
He then settles, and starts reading.
He smiles as he finishes.

Rabbit listens to Luke's parable, the side of her head comfortable on his shoulder. As he talks about the cat and she just smiles up at him, intent.
”You would do really well in taverns, as a storyteller. Are these the stories you tell the kids?.”
She pats Key behind her reassuringly at the sister comment.

Key sighs. “That was lovely. You would be a great story teller Luke. Maybe you missed your calling."
She closes her eyes and stretches out her legs. She laces her fingers together and layes them on her chest ready to take in the next story.

Luke smiles with a hint of shyness, "Yes. I tell these stories to children and also drunks. It works really well with drunks." He laughs.
"What stories do you two know?" he asks.

Rabbit looks down at the floor for a moment thinking, debating if she should tell a story. She then looks up at Luke, over to Key and then back to Luke. ”Missy would tell me stories when I was young. He even tried to tell me stories when I was an adult, but I had stopped listening.”She looks down at her hands, a sad look momentarily passing by and begins to speak. “This story is about how the drow recovered the stories that were lost to them when we were betrayed. How Abigail Orbb gave them back to us.”She looks over at Key, her expression hard to read as Rabbit thinks."Once a long time ago, all stories had been stripped from the drow. We were betrayed and cast out from our place as spouse to Corellon, they stole our stories, our history and our love. This is how we got our stories back.
Abigail Orbb was the smartest of the spiders living in the under dark. She cared for our people when we were sick, alone and cold. When our goddess Lolth had been locked away from us, Abigail fed us, gave us silk for clothing and taught us to live in the Underdark.
She watched us for years, and noticed we did not behave like the other humanoid races. We did not tell stories, or our histories, or even who we might have loved. She cared for us and decided she would get our stories for us first. After all, how can you fall in love, or remember your history if you can’t even tell a story."Rabbit stops talking, looks at the two for feedback, curious if she should continue. RABBIT

Key smiles encouragingly at Rabbit. She pats her leg, giving it a little squeeze, then lets go.
“Please, I would like to hear the rest. Im sure Luke would too.” She looks over her shoulder at Luke, then back at Rabbit. She nods her head and waits for her to continue.

Rabbit's eyes light up and she continues telling her story. Her voice becomes slightly more musical as she talks. ”Where did I leave you? Oh thats right, Abigail was going to get our stories back." She has a very large smile as she continues on."Abigail went to the surface and visited Labelas Enoreth, the elven god of time, history and knowledge. She begged from him the price of buying drow their stories.Labelas laughed at her, at the silliness of thinking the drow would ever do anything but suffer. She continued to watch as he laughed, and as he finished his laughing he saw that she was still serious. She hadn’t moved an inch.
He didn’t understand why she cared about the drow, but this was something curious for him. He also had some things he needed and he stated “If you bring me back these four items, I will grant you that which I have not granted my children of light, or the blessed. I will give you back the stories for the drow.”Abigail said, “What is the price of the stories?” Labelas responded, “They cannot be bought for anything except Wagyl the rainbow serpent, Aju the White Tiger, Knissen the fairy, and Austeja the goddess of bees.”
Abigail responded by saying “I will bring some of all of these.”The sky god said, “Go and bring them then!”Abigail set about capturing these. First she went to where Wagyl lived and debated out loud whether Wagyl was really longer than the downed tree outside Wagyl’s home or not. She joked how Wagyl’s wife had been saying how he was short and lacking in length.
Wagyl overheard and approached angrily, when Abigail explained the debate, agreed to lie along the downed tree. Because he cannot easily make himself completely straight a true impression of his actual length is difficult to obtain, so Wagyl agreed to be tied to the branch. When he was completely tied, Abigail took him back to Labelas.”Rabbit stops, smiles and asks. “Shall I keep going?” RABBIT

Key grabs her arm and shakes her playfully. “Yes!”
She drops her arm and smiles. “Your just trying to build suspense arn’t You?” She winks and settles back down next to her to listen.
