In a way it was an easy speculation that she would join forces with the djinn in an effort to rid the lands of pesky disturbances, as such an asset would prove fatal to any they found unworthy, but just as well Maleficent was also an uncontrollable force who would not take orders from anyone above her; her loyalty to only herself for now it seemed she would not be a threat at least for the short unseeing future.It was both a welcomed invite of air but just as swiftly a chilling reminder that such could be changed by the events that followed, the grand Fae's departure giving only a minuscule reminder of just how much power she undoubtedly controlled as the once hauntingly beautiful maiden transformed into an unearthly dragon before the eyes of those who watched with straining uncertainty and make her leave. What threat of bloodshed was soon over and yet even after Maleficent's leaving the air resumed it's stale and gripping intensity, the day had been long for many of those who had gathered as such an interruption hardly eased anyone's frazzled minds. Offering a quiet sound Thumbelina found her own bundled nerves hardly lessening as she continued to hold the slender curl of her arms around herself protectively, for one matter it was helping the maiden keep the beautiful gown Queen Snow had lent her up upon her shrinking height, but there was also a notion that the maiden hadn't felt in some time.<br/><br/>Face to face with the powerful Fae opened up wounds that Thumbelina had not yet conquered as the reminder of all that she had lost had been so close and yet she could not feel anything but disgust from Maleficent, it wasn't the need to feel acknowledged by the powerful fairy but rather the knowledge that she was a partial reminiscence of the life that had stolen from her that made the maiden's heart yearn for what she had lost. She was neither mortal nor fae as the cold and calculating words of the fae made Thumbelina's thoughts ponder towards what life would have been if her kingdom had not been destroyed by darkness, that as a being created only by the mercy of the man of the moon, what place did she have in this world to begin with?Such an internal crisis had never crossed the flower maiden upon her sheer existence and yet now it was all but consuming her, those doe like eyes full of crisp sapphire soon dropping their gaze to the polished floor in shame as the overwhelming amount of silence only intensified these sensations.<br/><br/>Thankfully it would be Queen Snow who would make her departure first, instructing Sebastian to make sure the rest of the group found their own quarters though Thumbelina was just as quick to excuse herself at the height of her own bubbling crisis of maddening thoughts. Pardoning herself with only a soft nod Thumbelina made her way with the soft shuffle of her gown trailing behind her increasingly shrinking form, that by the time she made it to the door into the lavish hall she was practically swallowed by her dress in an sight that appeared as if a small child had stepped into the gown rather than a fully fledged woman. Once on the other side of the door and alone in the hall Thumbelina took a deep breath to steady herself, focusing her attention back towards the cinched control she had upon her size though it took a few moments the attention soon granted her control once more, her lithe form soon settling back to it's previous slender and appropriate size.Letting out a soft coo the maiden adjusted herself as she smoothed her creamy palms across the front of her gown, the soft lull of her head allowing her to take her the gesture as she found herself at her previous stature when she had approached Snow in the first place, though it did unnerve the maiden that such dower thoughts proved to nearly make her loose all control all together.<br/><br/>Now was not the time to reflect on such things really, her life before, her existence, it did not deserve to be the focus of her mind as Thumbelina felt shameful towards just how selfish she found herself at the moment. There was a greater threat just upon the horizon, a force that needed to be stopped so no other would feel the pain staking agony so many gathered in Queen Snow's court had, everyone had already lost so much so to think of only her own grief was not needed now. Instead of making her way towards her assigned chambers Thumbelina found herself wandering the great halls mindlessly, rather than reflecting on her stolen future she pondered what a move if any could be made, of what sort of qualities each loyal warrior gathered could bring to the table, of what real chance they had to fight what felt like an unstoppable darkness.<br/><br/><br/>
