Preparations Underway [Finished]

[Vyn]

Mephitisia, of course, was quite aware of her own ambitions and wasn't at all uncertain as to why she possessed them and, in typical Avington fashion, wasn't at all willing to part with the secrets of her mysterious ways. She had learned from her past mistakes, some things weren't meant to be known and, with her knowledge tucked safely away, no one would be aware of it in order to attempt to steal it once again.

These thoughts caused Mephitisia to puff up momentarily though the shift in stance wasn't at all noticeable and faded the moment Serafino's voice cut into her thoughts. "I do indeed." She agreed casually, well aware of the task she had ahead of her although that did not daunt her in the least. Yes, she had her work cut out for her but she also had her ways and her methods to get exactly what she wanted. As for her mastery, well... "Poison."

The word hissed quite smoothly off of her tongue and a fang-flashing smile graced her maw mere moments after. It was the notable effects of her own which had brought the budding poison queen to recognition of the 'craft'. Her poison was currently only potent enough to paralyze, but Mephit intended to improve upon that. Whether time would work these effects or Mephit would have to use self enhancements only time could tell, but she could promise that it would improve.

The pair of them had gone in a small loop around the garden, following a path Fino liked to use for short walks where he didn't feel like turning around, just continuing on. A set of open doors could be seen not far away, near a split in the path. One way led to the smaller palace doors. The other led back to the main path and the entrance to the Court. He stopped a moment, gently tugging on Sultana's lead, and looked down at this dangerous, intriguing adolescent.

"I imagine your proficiency will only increase with time," he murmured thoughtfully. "After all. You are a Heart."

The bander finally decided to take note of their company again, wandering around behind her person to sniff at one of Mephit's hind legs. She nipped at it once, quickly, before darting around and back to her Queen's side. It wasn't a painful nip, or even a particularly biting one. Just enough to sting and make her presence known. Just in case she'd been forgotten. Fino tugged on the leash a little and she looked up at him with wide eyes.

"It seems that I have to return her to her unwilling captivity, and continue on with my own duties approaching the festival as well. Taking the right path will lead you back to the gates, should you wish to begin your return home, or towards the main palace entrance should you have other business here. Farewell, child. If your words hold true, I will be seeing you in years to come." He nodded his head politely, waiting for her acknowledgment, and then would make his way down the left path towards the palace.

Mephitisia would never admit it, but she was both proud and flattered by Serafino's words. He was sure she would obtain greatness and while she was quite assured of this as well, there was nothing like a great Queen confirming these thoughts. The adolescent fem was absolutely brimming with unspoken pride but she kept herself from bursting outwardly while in the Queen's presence.

Before she could answer and express her pleasure at his words, however, something suddenly caught her attention and Mephitisia jolted in surprise as she was nipped. The doe tensed and swung, swiveling her head down to peer at the bander before bursting into a wide grin. Who would have figured it was a savage little beast like a bandersnatch that would lighten the heart of one such as Mephit.

Stooping low, she bowed before the Queen of Hearts in a manner that she would have offered to none other.

"Farewell, your Majesty. I look forward to the day we meet again."

Mephit would return to his presence as no less than a Jack. She was determined to prove her value as a member of his Court and, with all the grandiose things she'd boasted before him, she knew she had best follow through with her promises.
