Zar nearly gave a happy squeal at that comment. " You really think so! Oh yes, I must say she is. " Zar set the spider down on the top of her head. That one small comment he made had made little King Zar oh so happy. . . .but it didn't stop her from following him. " Thats a lovely staff. " She replied politely once again returning to her sanity. " I'm sure a lot of hard work went into making it so wonderful. Those small details show. "

If Dark wasn't playing, well, a bit darker, then he would have been very likely to laugh when Zar was so happy over that comment of his. Okay, no doubt about it, he would have let loose one of his signature chuckles. He was glad to note the change in her sanity level. "It did. I'm glad that you can see it like it should be seen. Most don't." He'd stopped walking again. "Its vital to what I have to do, all the 'magical' skills that I have."

" Most people are afraid of me. They all seem to run away and from the years of them running away its caused my mind to. . .ah I've lost it. At one time being a social person who owns their own kingdom then to lose all of that. It doesn't do the mind to good. " She surprisingly gave a laugh to it all, a dry and not very happy laugh. She tried to see things in the good positive way she really did. Sometimes it showed though. Upon reaching the edge of the forest she took the spider from her head and set it onto a nice spot on a tree branch. " Going anyplace important Blackie? " Sane or not she still called him Blackie.

Dark frowned a small bit again. "I'm not afraid you. Annoyed during your...less sane times, yes, but not afraid." Oh yea, that was rather comforting. "I have no where planned. Maybe I should return to my kingdom. I think I've had more then enough fresh air now." He'd left his kingdom just to visit here for no reason but he just landed here, in the middle of no where, that wasn't very useful. "If you're thinking about inviting yourself, I'm sorry to say that you cannot. No one is allowed to enter it as they please, not until they've been accepted." he explained, just so he didn't come off as a complete jerk. "But...care to elaborate on the loss of your kingdom and your sanity?" At least that meant he didn't intend to go at this very second, that he cared to hear about her at all.

" You don't fear me because you don't fully know what I look like. Its my looks that scare the people away. I wasn't planning on following you that long. You are horribly fun to poke around with thats it. " Her tail gave a flick as she pondered if she should tell him or not. Deciding it would cause her no loss she choose to give a small bit about it. " My sanity left me after my kingdom was taken. But its a choice I made not knowing the consequences would be this serious. As with all parent owned kingdoms my parents told me to get married to some creepy old prince I've never seen before. Obviously I said no so they told me to hit the road until I agreed to marry. Thats why I'm here! " She gave off another warm smile. " I only get attention on Halloween really. The lack of people wanting to speak to me has left me to speak with spiders, butterfly's and humming birds. They don't put up with much of a conversation. So my mind kinda wanders around to keep myself amused. " She seemed sad while speaking of her kingdom and marriage but once she hit the mention of loss of sanity she seemed cheery. After all she spoke of it to other quiet often. It was her kingdom she didn't speak of often.

"I doubt you'd scare me, Zar." He stated rather bluntly. Again, oddly for her benefit. Actually, he couldn't think of something that would scare him. His kingdom was twisted in pretty sickening ways. The people there, well, none of them had their sanity. Dark, oh yes, he was mad too. He had to have lacking sanity to be who he was. Surprisingly, the dark king was a pretty good listener. "If I had been in your place, I wouldn't have accepted an arranged marriage either." Truthfully, Dark was supposed to find his queen, but he wouldn't go out marrying someone he didn't know or just met or any of that. This King of Hearts actually cared about stuff like that. "And I don't have many people to talk to either. My kingdom only consists of three others that I could hold any real conversation with." Save talking flowers and such. "I don't get along well with one, one doesn't like to talk and the third is hardly ever around. I'm by myself a lot. I suppose its something you grow accustomed to after awhile."

" I have not grown accustomed to it. " She muttered. " I really don't like losing my sanity but I really don't want to go back to ruling that kingdom of mine. I much rather like being around my subjects. Unlike my parents they care about my feelings and do try to help me with my sanity to the best they can. Thats why I took up being a doctor. People come to me and I help them which makes them happy. Being able to help and please at the same time is so wonderful. But unless I look half sane. . .which I am, they wont come. " She crossed her arms huffing. " I'm not some crazy doctor. " As she spoke that same spider returned dropping from its tree branch onto her shoulder. They seemed to show up whenever she was upset. " Would you have given up your kingdom and set yourself to a life imprisoned in this dimension like I did? Or was my choice a bit to harsh? "

"If you like it better being here, then returning to your kingdom shouldn't matter." He stated simply, like it should be obvious. "I mean, do what's best for you, right? And if you want to help people, then do it. Sure things are often difficult, but you shouldn't let it stop you." Not a man of too many words, it seemed, and rather blunt about it even if it was his attempts at helping. "I am, or I used to be, trapped in a different dimension. I keep myself trapped there too. If you really didn't want to take up a husband that you'd been arranged with, then no, it wasn't harsh."

" Oh I know. I just think I was being a bit stingy is all. My people needed me but I said I wouldn't help because of some man. I dunno, I can't trust myself what with not fully being there mentally. " She gave a sigh before again trying to move the spider off of herself. " I've annoyed you enough I'm sure. Perhaps we shall run into each other again King Blackie? " She held out a hand to shake his in goodbye. He'd given her a wonderful gift of someone to talk to. As she mentioned with someone to talk to her sanity stuck for longer periods of time. Now she could have sworn her insanity was returning for she felt a bit sad to say goodbye to him. They seemed to have so much in common but had such different personalities.

In a way, Dark couldn't see why Zar didn't trust herself just because of her sanity slipping in interesting ways. A person should never be expected to be forced into something that was designed to be so lasting when it was not in their hearts to want it to be lasting. Marriage was obviously one those things. It was supposed to be a sacred bond between two people when they wanted to be together, not something to take lightly. That was one of the reasons Dark was still free, still a lone ruler. But right now, he didn't argue. "Humm. Its not as if I really ever have anything to do. Speaking with you hasn't been so bad. But if that is as you wish, then I suppose I'll take my leave." He returned her offered hand with his own free one.

" Don't get me wrong, I always do need and enjoy a chat with anyone not afraid of me, but its. . .if you don't mind my random bursts of mind wandering comments. " She took to sitting down again with her back to a tree. " You have such beautiful eyes and style of clothing. " She added. King Zar was honest, very honest and wasn't afraid to say it no matter if it would upset him or flatter him. " I like the look of it, but if I was caught running around in your jacket I'd be sent off to a funny farm. Personally I'm surprised I have not been sent there already. Perhaps they could help me? "

"I've managed so far..." he replied, scratching behind one of his long ears. "You're better then trying talk to my...friend, I suppose that could work, Cheshire. He speaks in riddles." He and Cheshire really didn't get along at all, but they had some common ground, like how he was made out of hate and anger of the same person Dark was made from. Expect, Dark was the essence of said person's darkness and depression. Oh how did he really hate those riddles though. Having stopped scratching his ear, both of them perked back up a little. "Ah...thanks..." He wasn't very sure what else to say. Sure, Dark got those comments before, but that was when he was trying to flirt... "But why do you say that? Its just a more fancy then normal trench coat." He paused and suddenly got a very dark look. "Don't ever allow yourself to be taken under any kind of 'metal care'." He said very firmly, not caring if she objected to him being demanded. He wouldn't let anyone oppose him on that. He had his reasons.

" I say it because I'd like to wear that jacket, but I know I'd be taken for some freak then. I comment on your eyes because I envy the fact you can own such normal looking eyes yet they still stand out. Red eyes isn't common. Then again. . ." She got a smirk. " I bet the change to try on that coat of yours. I bet you with the fact you've never seen eyes like mine. " A harmless bet because she was nearly positive he wouldn't have seen anyone with eyes like hers. As far as the Mental Care subject went she just gave a shrug. " I don't want to go there. But if they catch me then they catch me. I'm sure one day I'll be fully insane and become a threat to my people and these people. Its only a matter of time. "

"Sorry, but I don't take off my jacket and let other people wear it, ever. The way you say it, makes me sound like a freak." His little bunny tail flicked, hidden. His coat was like a symbol of who he was, you couldn't just let some person run around as him. "I don't look my eyes very much. Everything about me...reminds me of bloody hearts." Though he loved hearts and he liked the color red, sometimes the fact that it was all blood colored annoyed him. "From some....sort of personal experience, I know that they only tend to help your insanity grow." He existed because of that, someone loosing it, loosing everything all the way down to emotions. They were like a shell until they finally snapped back with all the hate in the world.
Ooc: I'll have to go for a bit.

" Oh but normal is so . . .blah. Being different is great fun. Its when being different means you get pushed aside and ignored its not good. " She frowned. " Shame, I'd have liked trying it on too. I don't see why you should hate the way you look. At least you don't have deadly spiders, butterfly's of all colors and envious humming birds always following you around. " She glanced up at the tree branch. " Sorry to say it huh but most people fear death when they see you, sweetie or not. " She spoke to the spider before returning her attention to Dark. " Its best not to irritate them. I've been bitten so many times by spiders. It hurts quite a lot. " While with her sanity King Zar was quite the kind person so long as the person with her was kind. She liked taking a hold of the others feelings and sent them right back.
Ooc: Lol thats fine, I've got to get off to bed right now anyway.
