Flowers That Gleam and Scheme [Invite Only]

The response she received was not one that she actually expected. The boy seemed quite pleased with himself as he twirled the small flower in his hand. He then lifted the flower he was twining between his finger and raised his arm to smell it. He seemed to be thinking about how to speak next. She could tell that he was intelligent by the way he formulated his next step and was probably anticipating the next few. Ah, a game of chess it seemed. It had been a while since she truly had to plot her next course of action. There was a pause before he spoke, a chuckle following. The Queen displeased.

"Your majesty would be far more appropriate... but I'll forgive your tactlessness." She replied, the same un-amused expression on her lips as before. "You do what you must, but I am not inclined to accept such an offer. You might have more luck with your.... charm... elsewhere." She explained to the pink haired man that took a step closer to her. The woman raised an eyebrow as he got dangerously close to her. The woman raised her chin and made sure that she had direct eye contact. The man had no idea what powers she had. Though, she preferred not to use them if necessary. She disliked getting her own hands dirty if she could help it.

"The only assistance I shall need is removing you from my presence..." The woman retorted with a calm and resigned expression. The woman was not foolish enough to begin a war on a world that was not her own. Not unless it would bring her closer to her goal. "But I am well aware that you have a heart that is just as dark as my own. Perhaps you are the one searching for something to compensate for your lack of physique and power." She retorted, a smug smirk appearing at the corner of her perfectly shaded lips.

It was not his business why she was here and she certainly did not plan to let that slide. But she could tell that the word battle was going to be quite a match.

It was a very intense and interesting conversation if she was being completely honest with herself. The man had an elegant and graceful tongue. That much she would admit. He did not seem very bothered by her well worded insults. He earned a bit of respect for keeping such a calm and clear head with the current conversation they were having. The man did not seem to have much strength to him, so her presumption was that he had some sort of magic. It may explain how he was able to travel here, much as she had. But, she was still unaware of his motives. That she planned to learn, one way or another. She simply preferred the easier way. She really did despise having to get physical. It was a tad unladylike.

Grimhilde held her ground as he stayed close to her. The man was lucky that he did not attempted to gain anymore ground or lay a hand on her. That would have been a great mistake. The man seemed to be bothered only momentarily by her calling him weak before the smirk enveloped his lips. He spoke before moving to lean against the stone wall to her side.

"It is quite endearing that you believe I feel threatened. No, I simply wanted you to be aware of my thoughts. But I do not take kindly to your enjoin..." Threats were not taken lightly by here. She normally would have the person killed. However, he was correct.

"I have no qualms of destroying a world if it is necessary. However, I am in agreement.....Seeing as you still your tongue." She agreed as she turned her head to watch the man as he became engrossed in the flower in his hand. His expression changed to disappointment, expressing that feeling verbally as well before crumpling the now dead the flower and letting the slight breeze take it from his hand. The woman watched him closely, her expression unchanged. What was he so disappointed about?

He explained that he was here looking for a flower that gave immortality. That it was no longer here. However, she was not sure if this was some elaborate ruse to force her to leave so he could continue the search without any competition. "...a flower, you say. Hm. What would make you come to such conclusion. I quite doubt you have been here long enough to scour every acre of land of this world in search." She inquired. Depending on the lads answer would determine whether she trusted his assessment or not. She may allow her true intentions to come forth. She had truly believed the flower could heal, not allow immortality. Otherwise, the queen probably would not have aged as she seemingly had already. If the rumors were true, of course.

The queen stayed silent now as she watched the wheels in his head turn in thought. What was he deciding on saying? Was he going to reveal his source on learning that the flower was not here?

Only time would tell.

The man finally tilted his head to the side and began his rather long winded speech. The queen gracefully folding her arms, her right arm lifting to frame her face, as she watched the man ramble. It was obvious she did not seem all that interested in the drabble he was spill from his pink lips. All she needed to know was how he knew. That was her only question. He explained how she was more open minded and understanding then the simple folk in town that she may understand. That was obvious.

That's when he finally explained he had an affinity for nature and was able to track that sort of magical plant. It seemed plausible if that was the true case. "Nature magic.... That is quite.... different." She seemed uninterested in that.

"Your answer was to determine whether or not you were honest with your response. Though, I could much rather do without a loquacious speech in the future." The woman spoke honestly as she watched the man. "If what you say is true, then I supposed I would be squandering my time. Tis a shame. I was quite hoping such an object existed in this realm to end my search. Though, for your information, I was told it had healing properties. Not immortality. So you are aware." The woman replied before moving to walk toward, and past the man. She had to make her way to a more discreet area to be able to head back to her own castle. There she would need to do more research on other magical items.

The queen was stopped by the man as he appeared in front of her, flower petals floating in response to the ability. The queen let out a soft sigh as she watched the man continue to speak. "For what reason would I need to waste my energy to seek revenge on someone such as yourself?" She asked with an uninterested expression on her flawless face. She was not pleased with the intrusion. She wanted to get back to her castle to begin research on her next destination. She needed to seek out an object to repair the mirror.

That's when he explained his motive. Seems that he had been in the same situation she was. Dead. The amusement spread across her face at his admitting this. Boy, was this young man out of luck. She had no idea about the world's makings and any changes since her death. That's when he mentioned 'Kingdom Hearts'. That she had only heard mentioned once when Maleficent had invited her to join this new coalition that she was forming. Though, she did not know very much about the object.

"Well, I am in the same predicament that you are. I have only recently returned as well. Though, if I was aware of this.... 'Kingdom Hearts' .... then I would likely ask what you plan to offer in exchange for such knowledge?" She asked in reply, slightly amused and inquisitive at the moment. Maybe she could use this opportunity to get the more information about other magical objects.

This could certainly be used to her advantage. Only if he had relevant information. She would not mind forming a temporary alliance.

"Simply a bit of time was saved. Nothing interesting enough to warrant such information." The queen explained as she watched the man like a hawk. It was possible that he may hold relevant information that would assist her in repairing the mirror. Lauriam stepped back briefly to allow her some space. It was much appreciated. It kept her from doing it herself. It wasn't until he spoke again that it was verbally confirmed. The queen smiled in pleasure at his request.

The woman was always a woman of her word. She did not take kindly to people not following through. So, in turn, she would never do that to another if it could be helped. Especially if it benefited her directly. The woman watched the man as he seemed to think things through.

"Information on powerful magic. One that might have the ability to repair a magical relic." She explained as she watched the being before her. It was a bit of give and take right now. She would not give more information than necessary to start until he gave some information himself. "As I do not know much of the specification behind this Kingdom Hearts, I do know someone who does." The queen announced. She had recently met a woman named Maleficent in her travels that offered her power and a chance at unlocking Kingdom Hearts.

If the woman was looking for recruits, it would be a win win for the Queen. She would get information from the rose haired man while recruiting for the 'cause'.
