Marluxia settled himself in the armchair, leaning over to a box full of bottles on the floor. "Drink?" He asked Larxene, getting for himself a half-drunk bottle of pinot noir. He could explain what he was thinking after what was mannerly had been observed.
Whatever it was she was reading, there was no concentrating on it. Not worth the time, apparently. Terrible book. Larxene tossed it to the nearest table and smiled over at her accomplice. "Surprise me."
"Very well," He said and tossed her a corkscrew and a bottle of zinfandel, trusting that she would catch them. He leaned back in his chair, eyes closed, thinking, before taking a drink and speaking.
"The situation here grows increasingly intolerable, Larxene," He said. "Between the normals, the monsters, and the rest of the company...It is not to be borne. The most egregious loss, however," He said, face growing more serious, "Is that of our abilities. Of what makes us superior."
She caught both easily, and had the bottle open in a matter of seconds. A habit long ago gained, and never forgotten. The first sip was careful, a slow test. It was a delicious wine, but she hadn't expected anything less from Marluxia.
Gloved fingers came up to her face as Marluxia spoke. How many weeks ago had it been that the little bastard child had somehow been able to smash her face in with a simple board? No, she certainly wasn't about to forget that. "From what I've experienced, I have found no way to get them entirely back." Larxene grimaced. What an unfortunate truth. "I have, however, been mulling over the idea of amplifying a power through something. Weak, perhaps, and requiring more acknowledgment that this city can hold me than I like, but if it will get me off of this putrid excuse for an island..."
