Cheshire was an expert on smiles, he wielded his like a scythe at times and a scalpel at others. This other Mari had a brilliant smile, but one that lacked the open honesty of her more honest counterpart. It was a smile that honestly reminded Cheshire of his own, one that could deceive as easily as it could inform. It wasn't going to help Mari one bit.<br/><br/>"Well, I didn't know either of you had a sister!" Cheshire exclaimed, "amazing what surprises people have in store even after knowing them for a while. I must be mistaking you two."<br/><br/>He was playing dumb of course, this Shadow Mari almost HAD to know about her other self, there was almost no doubt in Cheshire's head.<br/><br/>"Although," he added, "you might be my new favorite of the two. Your sister is far less..." he paused as if looking for the right word, "entertaining to talk to." He gave her the best suggestive eyes he could muster, the kind that could melt the iron resolution of nuns, angels and saints. If he was going to keep Mari occupied, this was the best way he knew how.
