Maleficent looked up as Hook arrived. She hadn't seen much of the captain recently, but had assumed he'd appear sooner or later. Leaning back in her chair, she regarded Hook with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Oh? Is that so?" she responded, certainly curious of who Hook could possibly think would interest her. She would play along for now. "Well, who would that be, Hook?"

A grin broke across his snout as Scar sat on his haunches behind Hook. The voice of this female was familiar, he recognized it clearly as the one who'd gave him those little pieces of information about the Heartless. She had a foul air about her, the reek of the Heartless clung to her even more harshly than it did to the human man between them. She also had none of the scent of a human, though she was not entirely without a smell like the citizens were. She commanded a certain presence, much like royalty, if not even moreso.

He remained silent, biding his time. Of course, he hadn't been content to simply wait outside. That would have been quite boring, after all, and wouldn't have suited a King such as himself. The air inside had much of the same stink as the female did, along with all the...interesting...decorations.

She did not look very enthused by his proposal. If anything she looked sceptical. Did she no longer have interest in broadening their number or did she simply doubt his ability? Hook furrowed his brow slightly at the thought but did his best to maintain his smile. Doing so resulted in his lip twitching, his moustache flapping up and down in a comedic manner. “Yes,” he replied slowly. “Allow me to fetch him

"That's enough, Hook," Maleficent said, only having to raise her voice only a little as she arose from her seat.

Slowly she moved from behind the desk, fingers curling around her staff as she approached Scar. Well, well, so this is who Hook brought to her? She'd seen the lion on the journals, of course and did speak to him once briefly.

There was certainly a darkness in him. A darkness that could potentially control the Heartless, but the question was, was it too much darkness? Could he keep the Heartless from devouring his own heart? Well, no matter. Either way, he could possibly be useful.

"Well now," she began, looking down at Scar. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

A slow chuckle followed Hook's outburst. Scar squeezed his shoulders up and closed his eyes, making the gesture one of pure condescension, rather than mere amusement. His eyes held a devilish glint as he brought himself to his feet.

This female certainly held sway over the man, if nothing else. Scar tucked his head down with a grin as he walked just a short distance forward, enough that she could see him more clearly, and he could smell Hook's fear all the better. The stink of it tickled Scar's nostrils.

"I just so happened to run into your timorous associate the other day, and he seemed to have taken quite the liking to me." As Scar spoke, he passed by the tall form of the black-clad biped, turning his head only slightly to look back at her as he walked. "He decided to bring me here entirely of his own accord. I didn't even ask him for an invitation."
