Characters: Marluxia and Kovu
Content: Marluxia picks up Larxene's slack and has a "chat" with Kovu.
Setting: Wouldn't you like to know. ;D
Time: It's a secret. ♥
Warnings: None... yet.


Unexpectedly he'd had Larxene's other experiment subjects passed to him and she'd gone to... recover it seemed. He was a little out of touch with things as he'd only the other day and had been rather thrust into things, starting with that mess outside the gate. At least that had been taken cared of, and finally they had all those who had been intended for capture.

Admittedly Marluxia's interest in the experiments was less than some of his colleagues. Perhaps it was because of Vexen. It was no real secret Marluxia didn't get along very well with the grumpy Organization elder. Still, Marluxia took the order without question.

His first subject was one of their more stranger captures but apparently one of interest, a lion, by the name of Kovu, from what he'd been able to ascertain. A bit of memory reading would most certainly be in order.

Sending the dusks to fetch the captive, he waited patiently for them to return with him so he could begin. They were a little behind schedule due to the capture issues at the gate, and the last thing they needed was for Vexen to start getting impatient.

Kovu was struck with a sense of severe disorientation as the dusks whisked him off to the laboratory. Although he had been on the verge of attacking one of the nobodies back in the cell, it managed to slip away from him as he fought to recover from the momentary shock of transit. He recovered quickly, but the dusks were already clamping heavy chains to his legs and neck. The lion snapped at one of the offending creatures, but was roughly jerked back by one of the chains as his jaws closed. To his dismay, he didn't even manage to cause a minor injury to his tormentor.

He tried to claw at them, but the chains held him back there as well. All he could really do was snarl and roar, and none of the creatures seemed to take any notice. It was humiliating.

It actually took him a few moments to realize there was someone else in the room. As the dusks finished their tasks and vanished, Kovu ceased his display of anger and fixed this new adversary with a furious glare. "Who are you?" he demanded, pointedly ignoring the fact that he was the prisoner and not really in any position to make have his demands answered.

The Nobody watched the dusks arrive with the lion from the far side of the room. He didn't particularly like the idea of being clawed or bitten after all, so he happily, as happy as a Nobody was at any rate, let the dusks perform the task. Then the dusks had finished and vanished, and Kovu was secured.

Marluxia showed little change of expression as he, remained silent for a moment, taking his time as he stepped a little closer towards the lion. With a gesture of his hand, he finally replied, "Perhaps you have not come to understand the situation you find yourself in."

Stepping forward he came just outside Kovu's reach, before stepping forward as he turned transparent, passing through the lion, then solidifying on the other side of him.

He paused there again for a moment, before turning his confident gaze back to the lion as he absorbed the rather large amount of information he'd just learned from reading the lion's memories. He turned back around to look down at the lion once more. "It is I who shall be asking the questions, Chosen One."
