Sharon, with his face covered by his hand, raised one finger to gaze through; before promptly closing it again. He then moved his other finger, gazing again with his left eye this time, and promptly did the same; letting out a deep sigh as he pressed his palm against his face.
"Nnnnaaaw... naaaaaww.... naaaaawww!" He groaned, in truly mental anguish, before he threw his hand away from his face and held out his arms as he stood in the window between the four Night Elves, before shouting out up at the now towering figure of the massive, ebony skinned Draenei now looming over the house like a shadow of the past come to haunt them, and shouted out;
"WHY?!"
"QUILL AND VELUM! NOW!" Sharon called out as he turned around and ushered his way past the already retreating Night Elves as he headed back towards the main corridor.
By then, his trusty butler, Frederick, had already appeared with a freshly dipped quil in one hand and a blank piece of velum in the other, standing ready.
"You called, sir?" He asked with his usual dry tone, raising a slight eyebrow as the other Night Elves fled past them, and the voice of a frightened Aleena squeaked from outside the window.
"I want a letter written to Specialist Alissah of the Purifier Order. I have a favor to ask, in return for a favor... or two." Sharon explained as he walked through the mansion with his butler in tow. Frederick had already acknowledged and was almost done with the formal introduction of the letter, his hand with the quill zooming across the once blank velum with such a dashing speed, it was as if the elder man possessed some kind of superhuman speed.
"You may have to be more specific. You know how the members of the order are." Frederick remarked dryly.
"Tell her I need to cover up some evidence... in essence, the gigantic explosion that occurred outside of our house is in no way related to either me, my staff, or my... guests."
Frederick simply nodded as he continued writing, before he raised one eye up from the letter to look at Sharon.
"And what about our big guest outside?"
"She is... part of the new problem. Perhaps it is best we keep it vague and simply inform her when Alissah arrives."
"Do you wish me to escort our guest off the perimeter?" Frederick asked in his usual courtly voice. Sharon paused to throw him a momentary look of disbelief, before shaking his head.
"No, I don't think she's in quite such a talkative mood."
Sharon reasoned, before he suddenly noticed Liaena and Kathlin as they were heading back into the house. Liaena looked mad enough, alright, but not quite enough alarmed to give any indication that she truly knew what was going on on the other side of the house.
The High Elf's initial smile of seeing his loved one quickly faded into that of a frown as he came closer, as he looked down at Liaena with a slightly hurried look.
"Liaena... your bag did not contain any growth potions, did it?" Sharon asked, his crystal blue eyes shifting between the two girls. In the back, Frederick let out a sigh as he shrugged his shoulders, as if he had seen a similar episode to this a million times before.

"My head... owh... owhhhh... " Malizia muttered with a pained breath, as she rubbed her template with one hand as she tried to get back on her feet.
She had been trapped in total darkness, toying with her powers to the agony of the fools that had dared capture her, when suddenly a blinding yellow flash had come before her. The breath had been knocked out of her, and she opened her eyes to gaze groggily about.
"This was not the plan, no no, not at... huuh... I thought the Mage Tower was bigger than that."
Raising an eyebrow in confusion as she gazed out across the rooftops, Malizia studied the distant mage tower that now looked much smaller than she had last seen it! With a curious gesture and a 'hummh', she looked around, to spot the large mansion of the High Elf, Sharon Dal'Dieb. Except that now, it wasn't so big. No, more along the lines of a big doll house. And all around her, she saw similarly small houses.
She felt bigger, and heavier, and when the realization suddenly struck her, the Draenei's dark blue lips would break into a massive grin as she gazed down at the mansion, and the odd Night Elf, Aleena, still stuck in the tree just outside.
"Now THIS opens up possibilities, it does... !"
