So many secrets aboard one ship and such a wonderful fate awaits those who try and solve them.

[ she's bothered, Regina. She likes knowing against who she plays and this uncertainty unnerves her. Evil queen or not, she takes no pleasure in children dying. She is sitting in her room, her jacket thrown on a chair next to her. So many questions and not one answer. ]

Asking for answers is a bit much, evidently. I'll ask this then, who do you believe have them on the ship, the two people who were here before and somehow are miraculously still present or the Red Cheshire Cat who has taken to smiling from the shadows?

All roads in Wonderland belong to the Queen of Hearts.

Who do the roads aboard the Tranquility belong to?
elvenking: (Chillin'...not exactly like a villain.)

[He gives her a polite nod, then cuts off the feed.

An hour later, he is waiting by the entrance to the second level. Waiting, as in staying more or less hidden in the trees, wanting to be left alone if anyone comes in who isn't someone he's looking for.]
elvenking: (But square cut or pear shape)

[When he quietly and lithely moves out from the trees, he's wearing, for the first time since arriving, the simple crown of leaves and berries that arrived with him. His face is carefully neutral but his bright eyes betray a gleam of keen interest in the slight lowering of his brows. With hair a soft gold beneath the autumn red of the leaves, clad in the black uniform jumpsuit, he could have been plucked from a tale of wild woodland fairies to be wrapped in viscose and Velcro. Maybe it's an effect he is deliberately attempting to invoke at this stage, meeting a proud but altogether intriguing woman to whom power clearly means a great deal. Someone with a certain potential to be increasingly interesting and possibly even useful. Or perhaps he may be of use to her, which can ultimately be useful to him. It has not yet occurred to him that he hasn't really met her type before, or at least dealt with them to any great extent.

Annatar, perhaps, although although he'd never truly met him, nor did this woman inspire any comparison with him in his thoughts just yet. Annatar, the Lord of Gifts, whose name was also Sauron.]


You have come on time.

[Neither a criticism nor a compliment, just a note of interest. It makes sense for mortals to count each passing minute.]
elvenking: (Listening.)

[Or perhaps just a guy wearing leaves on his head. But all the same, a smile touches his lips when she makes that little pseudo-bow. She's clever, at least. He returns the gesture as a sign of tentative respect.]

Perhaps such things make a difference to you mortals. I shall take it, then, as a courtesy, and thank you.
elvenking: (Curious)

[No one has really remarked too much upon it, actually. He's not the first immortal to come here.]

First, Lady, I would hear what you hope to accomplish. As we discussed.
elvenking: (May your shadow never grow less)

To make him speak? [Thranduil has been suspecting Smiley to be the one who holds answers, but he has yet to be convinced seeking them from him is worth anyone's while.]

How would you accomplish this, where others have failed?
elvenking: (But diamonds are a girl's best friend)

Who you know.

[Spoken mildly. He might be clarifying, but she's probably going to be able to tell he thinks that to be a very arrogant statement.]

Where will you go with the answers, once you have them, Lady?
elvenking: (Rolling diplomacy.)

[Mortal ages are hard for him to tell, but he doesn't think she's that old. A slight frown.]

How old is he?
elvenking: (But it won't pay the rental)

[Ten.

That's older to mortals than it is to elves, who age much more slowly. Still, it's extremely young. Thranduil's eyes blank out as if he is somewhere else for a moment, then he looks back to her.]


He should not be without his parents.
