I suppose giving someone their word is no longer acceptable in these places. Perhaps I presume too much.

Lexaeus, I would like a word with you if you have the time. Soon, please.

...I think saying anything to you would only incite you to more anger. I shall hold my tongue. I believe you received enough thrashing to tide you for the time being.

Would you like the shortened version, Doctor?

Give me all pertinent information, to better assess things.

My companion has been infected by my powers. They have warped him into something sinister. With my powers, I can relieve him of this.

[And lo, her message effectively summons him back from his ‘business’ out in the city. He slips in through the window and approaches the couch where Kaileena is seated. The corruption’s made its way up to his shoulder, but as he moves, so too does the mark until the entirety of his body is pitch black. Still, his steps are quiet and careful. No use arousing her suspicion or her blades.]

Thrashing?

[He leans over the Empress's shoulder, depositing the trailing end of the Daggertail on the other side of her.]

No, no, that’s not how it happened. That’s not how it happened at all. There was very little thrashing involved this time, really. We could change that if you'd like.

[The conversation with the doctor over the communicator has frustrated her, to say the least. She leans back against the couch and sets the object in her lap, sighing softly.

When she hears him, Kaileena jerks in surprise and turns her head, pausing as she sees the dark of his skin out of the corner of her eye.]

No? Please be so kind as to dispel these rumors then, my prince.

[Oh, but she knows what's happened now, emerald eyes glowering at him.]

You've left many suspicious of you now.

[He brushes his fingertips against the side of her cheek and traces the edge of her jaw line. Her anger, so obvious and unhampered, brings a smile to his charred lips. His hunger, his need for the Sands within her grows steadily. He bares his teeth in a mocking grin, one hand clasping her arm.]

I would not say suspicious, Empress. They are easily roiled by words, but I doubt they sense the threat of them. Not everyone here is as... insightful as you.

[His focus strays briefly to the relic and he begins to wonder...]

You are in quite the mood tonight. I thought you would be pleased to see me.

[The Empress is quick to move away from his wandering fingers and finds her back brushing against the Daggertail. She pauses and glances behind her; eyes narrowing, she turns back to him. Instead of fighting his hold on her, she leans in as though to challenge him.]

They are not fools. I daresay that Lexaeus knows you for who you are, and sees you corrupted by...this.

[Her own fault, she suspects, but says nothing. Kaileena smiles sardonically at him.]

I'm pleased to see you aren't dead, even if it would put your chip back in.
