Once again she found herself reaching out through the darkness and finding her way to Marluxia's garden. She stepped easily through the pathway she cut through the inky blackness, moving in a moment from her library to the center of Marluxia's mazelike garden.

There were more things to discuss, after all. And it was best to discuss such things in person.

"Did you miss me?" she purred as the portal disappeared behind her.

Marluxia had been thinking to himself not about the takeover, but of of something much, much more important--to him at least. He went over what he saw of the replica's memories again and again in his head. As he'd said to the boy, he was sure he'd be able to succeed now that he knew what mistakes could possibly be made. But he needed to find as many of those possible mistakes as he could. His plan needed to be flawless. He could not--would not-- allow failure.

He was interrupted from further thought as Larxene entered. It took him a moment to fully break himself away from his musings before he finally responded, a cordial smile spreading across his face. "Of course. It's been ages since we've seen one another after all."

"I'd hate to think I was forgotten about," Larxene continued, wondering momentarily what Marluxia had been thinking about, but dismissing it for the moment as perhaps part of the takeover or his gardening or something.

"And, if you've wandered away from your garden at all, you must have noticed the addition to Paixao's landscape."

The wall of thorns, of course. It was convenient, that the barrier should be made of plants. Though for now Larxene could see no reason to bother with it. But perhaps later.

He'd been too busy with work to travel into the city just yet, but it was simple enough to figure out what Larxene spoke of. "I assume you mean our intruders."

Marluxia wasn't sure as to whether their entrance was a blessing or a curse. On one hand, their involvement would likely delay any plans they had, but on the other hand, they'd provide an excellent distraction.

"What do you think of this?"

"Surely it can be used to our advantage," Larxene said. "As a distraction, perhaps. Or maybe we can use the wannabe invaders themselves."

If they had any power to back up their intentions, then things would be far more interesting. And the wall of thorns seemed to prove that at least one of them had some sort of power. There was no way to be sure, of course, as to the level of power involved, but that was for the two of them to decide how to handle.

And then Larxene would form her own plans based off of that, of course. It wouldn't do for her to listen to Marluxia all the time.

A distraction was evident enough, so Marluxia turned his attention to the other possibility. "That depends on whether or not they're cooperative," he replied.

Bargains and false promises could be made, but he knew little about the newcomers--something that would have to change soon. No doubt there would have to be spies in the would-be conquerors midst. They could definitely glean a little information from those who knew.

Larxene grinned, and made no attempt to hide the purr in her voice. "It would be so much more interesting if they were," she said. "A change to the usual force and violence."

She giggled, summoning and balancing a kunai on the tip of her finger. "Not that I don't like violence, but it's nice to have a change of pace."

"And a few more powerful allies," Marluxia agreed. Granted, these allies ran a higher risk of rebellion than most others, but, were they to go with it, the gamble might be worth their while.

And yet they were just as likely to be nuisances. "As long as they don't overstate their welcome."

"If we play are cards right," Larxene said, and with a flick of her wrist sent the kunai flying off into the distance. "It could just as easily backfire."

Of course, even then there was a way to make such a situation graceful. A way to pull the entire Organization down, perhaps. If the cards fell the way they wanted.

Oh my, perhaps Luxord was rubbing off on her.

((Aw crap, I never did change that to "overstay" did I? XDD "WEEEEELCOOOOOOOME"))

Marluxia nodded thoughtfully. "Then we'll have to make sure that doesn't happen," he replied.

A moment of thought, and the Nobody spoke up again. "Perhaps we should attempt to bait our guests?" he suggested. His lips curled into a catlike grin. "It would be rude not to introduce ourselves, wouldn't it?"

"Oh, certainly," Larxene said, leaning now against Marluxia, almost sprawled on his shoulder. "How rude of us that we haven't already gone to say hello."

Perhaps something would come of it. Perhaps they would have a few new temporary allies. Or perhaps they would have information. They wouldn't know until they knocked on their new neighbors' doors, right?

There was a brief flash of annoyance on Marluxia's face at Larxene's sudden closeness, but he didn't move, deciding that her information was a fair enough payment for her actions.

"In a few days, then?" he suggested. "We shouldn't keep them waiting any longer than necessary."

"Of course not," she said, and moved away with a bit of a smirk. "We wouldn't want to be rude."

She summoned a portal now, the darkness somewhat more difficult to pull forth here but still flowing easily enough. She stepped through it before turning once more to Marluxia.

"I'll see you in a few days, then," she said, and the portal closed before her.
