(Synn)<br/><br/>With everything that he said from them being lovers to ensuring a place in court for him had her head and even her heart swimming. She turned back around to face him once more, placing her hands on his waist as she looked into his eyes, searching for any shred of deception but she had found none and her heart fluttered. You could say she almost blushed if a dark mage could.<br/><br/>"To secure you a place in court means I have to get to Oscar..." she started to strategize, "And to get to Oscar means I would have to return to court" she said as she attempted to swallow the lump that became lodged in her throat at the idea, " And that means I need to convince Maddox that this..."she said as she grabbed a hold of her hair, "means nothing and it was a sacrifice to get close to you as he instructed" she finished. She exhaled slowly at the thought of having to lie to the Father of Lies and wondered if she could pull it off. After all, he was just as taken with her as Zion seemed to be which could be used to her advantage. She stepped back for a moment and looked down at the floor. "It's the only way" she concluded as she crossed her arms in front of her chest once more. Her mind swimming with all the possibilities this scenario could play out from complete success to her very demise with the wave of Maddox's hand. "I cannot have any residual purity racing through these veins Zion. He'll find it" she said as she closed her eyes and began an incantation that once again turned her veins black as the pools in her eyes, behind those lush white lashes, a breeze whipped about the room as she pushed his light from her as much as she could, it had her shaking almost uncontrollably, but when it had finished, she looked back upon him. "As I said, I am not all darkness my love. There are parts of me he can't reach that you have" she said as she opened the door to the gardens and stepped outside to breathe in the morning air.
