The dark monstrosity had been looking out the window when Maleficent arrived. He enjoyed looking at the moon... however shattered and incomplete it may be. He was waiting for Acteur to return, as he had a job for him... something very important. Turning his head VERY slightly as Maleficent spoke, he considered her words carefully.
"She's a threat to us all..." he warned deeply, alerting Maleficent to his anxiousness about those that COULD wield THAT weapon. "You should destroy her while you have the chance... or face another failure in the near future... As for Kefka, I eagerly await word from him as well... My heartless scour Cosmos in search of his... payment." He paused, then looked to Maleficent as she continued.
"Anomoly?" he asked, his eyes narrowing. "Hasn't the second sword been destroyed? I distinctly remember Shego being ordered to put it out of our misery..." He lowered his head a little, until only one of those nightmare eyes looked at the queen. "Trust me... it's the little things like this that lead to the fall of darkness. No amount of light should be allowed to grow and become pure..."
Then she produced the gem. His eyes widened slightly. The temptation... was powerful... even for him. You see, the REASON they crystallize like that, is because their hearts linger on in their demise... refusing to surrender to the pull of Hades so they may serve their world still even in death. So... when one of these crystals was dangling right in his face... Atticus found it very difficult not to take it and make it into a heartless right here and now. The strength of a crystal heart... If you've played the games you've SEEN it firsthand in the form of the Phantom, Kurt Zisa, and others...
"Queen Oveilia?" he asked with that sense of restraint that only came from a creature who wanted nothing more than to engulf all in shadow... He knew very well the events that created THIS crystal. He had been working on Delita for a very long time when she rushed his plans along and killed him. Their actions in that ruined church are the catalyst that brought about the downfall of Ivalice... the fact that it no longer exists, really...
But this one crystal had evaded him for a VERY long time. A prize like this... But no. Not now. It had more... useful purposes at the moment. He looked to Maleficent, pulling his lifted hand back quickly. "You know that if she knew, it would break the knight's heart..." he warned. He didn't want it broken... he wanted it STRANGLED slowly into submission...
"What now, my queen?" he asked calmly, keeping his cool... For now, he'd play the role of the servant for a while longer... keep Maleficent guessing who her friends and enemies were... There was a turning point swiftly approaching on the horizon... and he needed her to be blind to it if she was to be THEIR queen...
