No, no response. The Cybunny just went along on his invisible path, now in the good middle of the field. His long ears weren't perked up any more, but instead pulled down. After sometime, as he knew that this woman would still be following, he spoke without looking back at her, "You are a lady. Unless you happen to be a feminine male. Something rather disturbing." He hadn't missed how she seemed serious, but how could he believe anything this woman said?

She gave another gasp. " Why Thank you! I appreciate the fact you conceder me a lady. " yet again she seemed serious with her saying of Thanks. It wasn't sarcasm that she spoke as now she wandered up behind him and started playing around with his ears. " Just for the record fine Sir, just because I am a lady does not make my name Lady. You at the moment are it but I'm not going about making your name it. No in fact you do need a name. Hmmmm what shall your name be? " Zar continued her messing with his ears. " Oh I know! You are so dark, mysterious and good looking! I think Blackie works for you. " And so it was settled in her mind, this new face would be called Blackie no matter what his real name would happen to be.

Dark sighed, just holding still while she played with his ears. If she was paying attention, she could just hear the clicking sounds that were caused his teeth tapping together. He was listening, though stopping himself from turning to face her. With another breath of air blown out, he turned around, moving her hands away from his ears carefully with both of his own, moving them back down to her sides and letting go. Which now she could see that his fingers up half of the palm was splattered in dark red, his markings. Such a sudden mood swing with him, even if it only appeared that way. His mood hadn't swung, just how he was going to allow himself to be had. "Its Dark." He corrected. "My name actually is Dark, the King of Hearts." And surely he was serious.

King Zar gave him a warming smile. " Now see! I knew you were a sweetie. Keroneko is my name but I horribly dislike it so I go by Zar. And it is true that I am a King. " She cleared her throat before going on with her title. " King Zar, Female ruler of all things butterfly's, Humming birds and Spiders. " If he was going to act civil she would too. So she made no comment on his odd markings and kept her hands to herself as well. " Oh! and yes, I really am a Doctor. "

Dark shook his head a time or two, his ears still down, and not believing he had now opened himself to talking with this woman. In only a few moments, he revealed something about himself he would hardly dare to tell anyone. Great. He hoped Alice wouldn't be angry with him, that was the last thing he wanted. "I. myself, am also a master of dark arts." He added. "You have an interesting title. Why do you go by 'King' if you are a woman?" Psh, just get straight to the point, no need to be all perfectly formal with the 'its a pleasure to meet you' crap.

" Because I'm the ruler of my lands. Almost all rulers go by King or something like that. If you are trying to say I'm a woman thus must be called queen then I'll say you are a very sexist person. Plus I'm not married so I am the highest authority. " What she wouldn't say was that due to her not being married she also had lost all her powers of being a ruler. Thats why she was stuck in this place after all. Zar quite enjoyed being here better then being stuck in a throne room all day doing work.

"Not always. Most females go my the feminine version of authoritative titles. If I remember correctly, some years ago, the original highest authority of my land used to be the Queen of Hearts. The pathetic little old king fearing his wife." He pointed out, shrugging, but disgusted in having to share the title that the pathetic king before him had. How could Alice have ever created things that way? Oh well, Dark was the only royal now. Anyway, his whole point was that it didn't matter what title you went by, you could still have the same amount of authority.

Zar went quiet taking his word to mind. It seemed at this point she was a normal being not some crazy random annoying female. " You are oh so right. It doesn't matter what your title is. Father always told me its not who you are its how you make yourself to be. But if your title doesn't mean your power then I'll stay with King. " She shrugged. Queen didn't sound so good to her. " No matter what I call myself it doesn't matter anymore. " She got a frown. Her ears drooped down so as her crown fell off. Must have been normal for the thing to fall for she caught it easily and held onto it. " You are king of hearts? Do you own hundreds of peoples hearts then. . .like in glass tubes and such? " Her ears pricked back up a bit.

He tried. Guess it really didn't matter of Zar wanted to go by King instead of Queen, though a bit unusual to him at the same time. Your average female wanted the title of Princess or Queen. Zar just wasn't average, was she? Strangely, he sort of frowned when she did, wondering about it now. Why it didn't matter. Gah! Idiot, getting involved in talking with her. He mentally cursed himself. None the less, he answered her question. "Not exactly that kind of hearts. More like..." He rummaged inside his coat, as there must have been a pocket inside, for he pulled out a playing card. It was just the Ace of hearts, but the card itself had quite a fancy design. "these." He held it up for her to see. "Though I've captured a few good hearts too, yes, I just don't keep them in tubes."

" Cards? You are a king of cards? And to think you thought me as odd. " Her ears swivled up for now she was in a good mood again. Without thinking about it she put her crown back over her ear. " You keep your hearts. I want nothing to do with them unless its medical. Medical wise I'd gladly take a few for a bit of practice. Ah! Thats what I was doing! " She shook a finger at the area in front of her. " I've gotten myself into trouble! Where might those rocks be that I picked from the grape tree. " That didn't last long. As soon as her serious self came it was gone now. She was back to being random only now she was walking in a circle looking around. " Might you know of the name of a nearby city? " She again asked acting as she had when she first spoke with the other.

"Means more to me then it does to you." Dark stated as he returned the card to his pocket. Cards here and cards there were two totally different things. "Trust me, I wouldn't ever hand over the real hearts that I've taken." It was kinda twisted that he had some hearts, some people, under his bidding. He could clearly see that he'd lost her again and he sighed, considering trying to take his leave at her other mood's return. He decided against it for now, since he'd been able to have something of a serious moment with her. Maybe it'd come back, or not be as bad as in the beginning. "I told you before that I didn't know. And I really don't. I don't leave anywhere near here."

" I don't know, I don't know. Is that the only place you know of. " She huffed and sat herself down in the wet grass cross-legged. Be it coincidence or not once she sat down she stirred up a spiders sleeping spot. Rather then harm her it took to climbing onto her knee and resting there. quite a poisonous type of spider too. King Zar didn't even notice it being there. She looked up at the sky trying to find some clue as to a nearby city.

"I don't live in this world, I live in my own. Nor do I visit this one very often. Of course I wouldn't know where anything is." he said with a small growl. He didn't even care about the venomous spider that came to sit on her, she was the 'King' of them, right? With his time of patience for her vanishing, he turned and started walking away again. This time, since she knew already, he held his hand a bit away from his side and a large staff appeared in his clutches. The metal it was created from was very dark, practically black, and quite shiny. It wasn't slick though, it had a lot of twisted designs carved in it. It was adorned at the top with a huge blood colored jewel that was finely cut into the shape of a heart. It was floating just off the base, like it was being held from floating away by metal chains of the same sort the rest of it was made of.

As if she'd let him go and leave her alone like that. No she found him far to much fun to mess around with. Quietly she got to her feet scooping the spider in her hand and followed him. She watched the spider drop down a finger with a string of web. " Oh Blackie isn't she just beautiful? " She asked sticking the spider over to his face. Thats when her attention was caught to his staff. However she tried to keep her attention to the venomous spider in Darks face.

Dark had stopped when he noted that she'd come up to him once more. The spider dangling in his face, he just softly blew at it. Not enough force in his exhale breath to really knock the spider around, but it could probably enjoy it. "Just lovely, Zar." He said, moving around her again to keep walking. Would this field ever end? He could see that the edge of the trees wasn't far now, but it seemed like it would be forever before he could return to the forest. He liked it much better there then somewhere more open.
