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 blinked. This was not what he had been expecting at all. He wasn't sure how this particular bit of information could have fallen into his captor's hands, except by way of his mother or other family member. It was, however, bad news. Had they captured someone else he knew, or... had they actually ~been~ to the Pridelands? They did have the ability to teleport, after all. Maybe they'd been watching him longer than he'd thought... Maybe they'd been keeping tabs on him for months or even years and he'd never known... That was a spooky thought.

"Ah... that..." he said after a moment. It didn't make much sense, though. Why would anyone be interested in that? He'd turned his back on that life. And how could his mother's twisted revenge fantasies even matter now? It wasn't as if he had the ability to carry them out, much less the desire to.

"She may have believed something along those lines," he admitted, trying to figure out where this conversation was going.

Ah, there, he'd gotten a bit more reaction out of the lion that time. Undoubtedly wondering how he'd known that. He wasn't going to explain how he'd come to know this knowledge. Let him wonder.

"And you? What do you believe?" the pinked haired organization member questioned, pacing a few steps, then pausing to speak again, not giving the lion yet a chance to speak.

"You worry, don't you?" Marluxia said, glancing down at Kovu out of the corner of his eye, "That she could be somehow right."

"That the darkness is somewhere deep inside you."

((Oh lawd, I'm sorry these are so short Zeth >.<;;; Hope makes sense...))
