"I prefer that most people decide to leave me alone." He said, eyes moving up to the sky. "Having people coming after someone life me, for what ever reason it is, is often troublesome." He couldn't keep very many 'normal' friends under his circumstances. He was perfectly fine with playing the role of the freak, if it kept curious eyes away. He liked meeting people, yes, but seeing them ever again after their meeting was very unlikely. If he'd left Zar right now, the chance of them meeting again wouldn't be a likely one. "I have talking flowers, rocking-horse flies, and plenty of other things around me, I assure you." He said, his eyes drifting to the branch where she'd left the spider. "She'd be perfectly normal and welcomed in my kingdom..." He said, a random thought. Venomous things were quiet common there and they couldn't much harm the people there.
Suddenly, his eyes turned back down to Zar and flashed. He held his free hand out to her, as an assist. "Stand up. I'll show you something." He didn't have any bad intentions, and hopefully that was clear despite the darkness that radiated.

Zar could help but give a small laugh. " Talking flowers and rocking-horse flies? That sounds absolutely fun! I;d much rather like talking people in my kingdom. " When he offered her his hand she looked up at him from the corner of her eyes. It certainly wasn't the darkness that came from him. She certainly didn't fear that one bit. It was the fact he'd offered in a nice way really. Just a few moments ago he was telling her to anything just to get her to go away. " And why do you want to show me something? "

Humph. Figures that the strange things in his world would amuse Zar. Not all were so fun, sadly. There were quite a few creatures that would try to eat, poison, or otherwise destroy any of the other living things. Dark shook his head at Zar. "Now, now, if I tell you, it just ruins it. I can assure you that its nothing...unlikeable." He said that with a wink. Apparently, Dark had made the decision not to go away quite yet. Might as well enjoy what time he'd set aside for coming to this world. Not to mention that Zar wasn't so bad, if one could put up with her sudden less intelligent moments. Oddly, they had things in common, it strange ways.

King Zar looked from his hand to his face unsure if she could trust him. " Something you enjoy could always be something I don't fancy to much. " Still she got to her feet refusing to take his hand in getting up though. After a moment to brush herself off the wocky gave Dark another odd look. She did it to let him know he wouldn't get away with anything wrong dare he try something.

"I'm sure it'll be fine." He replied surely. None the less, he withdrew his hand, the fingers curling back into a loose fist as he did and then releasing once back to his side. "I just wanted to show you something." With that, he held his staff up in front of him, and the blood colored jewel began to glow for a few moments as he worked some simple magic. Zar herself began to glow with the red aura, it fading into black and solidly forming a coat that mimicked his own on her frame. He wouldn't take off his own coat for her to try on, but she could try on this fake one, one that wasn't really real and could easily vanish.

" Oh! That is lovely! " She inspected how it looked on herself with a grin. Why do such little things amuse me? Zar thought to herself. Once she got a good clear look at herself she turned to Dark making sure to spin around fast enough to spin the coat on her. " Perhaps you could tell me if it looks good on me or not? I see it only fair that you get your half. " King Zar went about rubbing her eyes removing the only magic she knew from her eyes. Blinking as if she had just entered a very bright room she looked back at Dark with her now oddity eyes showing. " Things are much clearer without those! Shame I need to wear them. "

"See, no harm done, right?" Dark asked, raising an eyebrow as he questioned. Why he did that for Zar? Who knows. Maybe he was enjoying the company over being alone. "Umm." He wasn't sure what to say when she asked her opinion about it. He didn't give fashion opinions to many people. "Well, it looks good." he stated, looking over her. The red of the hearts lining the bottom and the crossed out one on the back went fairly well with her, color-wise. "I'd say you can pull it off well, better then I like, I think." He admitted. "People shouldn't be allowed to look good in other's important clothing." He complained a little, not too serious. He watched as she rubbed her eyes, taking much interest in them when they were revealed. "I like them. Quite interesting....Or would unique be a better word?"

" You're right about that. Its your style in clothes and I really don't want to steal it. But this coat just looked to much fun to resist. Not to mention I like dressing differently. As for her eyes she didn't seem as amused with them as he was. Zar went with watching the ground. Or thats what one would assume. Only the eye that held the sort of swirl moved when she looked around. The other seemed fixed in one spot but looks. In reality it worked the same way her other eye did. " People . . . they are afraid of my eyes. Thats why I said I only do well on Halloween. They think its all just a costume. " She gave a sigh and her ears drooped. Again she had to catch the crown before it hit the ground. Really how hard was it to ask for a person or two to talk?

"I could make that one your own." Dark suggested after a moment. "Change the designs on it or the like...." But he had to trail off, what with her suddenly becoming more depressed, or something like it. He wasn't sure of her level of her unpleasant feelings. He didn't know her well enough to tell. "They don't scare me at all." He said, his attempt at making her feel better. "I know I'm just one person, so, probably doesn't mean much....If you'd like, I can stick around for at least awhile, so you don't have to be alone today..." It was rather depressing to see that she was treated so unfairly for being different when she just wanted company. Dark, despite often liking being alone, could understand where she was coming from.

She looked back up at him still looking a bit sad. " I don't want to keep you from anything. I personally know how much work goes into running a kingdom. I'm getting used to being alone! I've got a friend who sometimes visits at nights. When she isn't working and is in the same city or whatever. " Zar tried so hard to make it sound like she'd be fine. She knew being alone was horrible for her mental health, but what did she care. She was far more worried that he'd be in trouble for not doing what he should. That was who Zar was. A King who always put others before herself, even if it meant she'd suffer. " The jacket thingy is very nice! If you wouldn't mind making it white with maroon stripes I'd just love you to no end. " Love as in I'd owe you and be thankful.

Dark shook his head, seeing through Zar's attempt at seeming fine. "My kingdom if very different from what people think when they hear the word 'kingdom'. I am one of the four people that currently take up residence there. The rest of it is populated by a mass amount of strange creatures that usually go about life...whimsically but harmlessly." In most cases, but he wasn't going to say that some tried to kill the people. The people couldn't really die, so it was fine. "Those there are highly capable of making sure things are fine. Not really much work for a king to do. Which is why I'm here, to find something to do." He was called upon from time to time, but was mostly just stuck entertaining himself or lingering with the few others there. And, for the moment, he waited to see what else she'd say, before going about altering her coat.

" If you say so. " was all Zar said with a shrug. The sad emotions and pause in anything between the two happening clicked her mind over to is insanity side. Easy for Dark to figure that out. Zar was busy laughing at the trees overhead. " The clouds are green! Does that make me a penny? " She gave a gasp. " King Zar has been eaten! I hope she gets a refund. " She was indicating the fact the Crown was in her hand rather on her. The trench coat might have added a bit more confusion to whom she was.

Dark's teeth clicked together as he snapped his mouth shut suddenly. Oh yea, he was aware that she'd changed back. Good thing he'd grown a little more understanding with having been able to talk to her while she was still sane. While he thought, his bunny ears twitched. "Ah, well, what would you say if magically the grass were purple?" He questioned her. Yes, that was the first thing that came to find and it seemed out there enough. And, with the use of the word 'magically' he hoped he wouldn't have to worry about her suddenly changing and saying how stupid he was for thinking the grass to be purple or something.

" Magical purple grass and big orange unicorns with a fountain that shoots green with blue spotted water is my life dream. That and a box of poptarts. Oh King Zar used to love poptarts. " Zar frowned at the 'missing' of King Zar. Though she had to admit. Purple grass did sound pretty neat.

Dark was silent for a small moment. "You know, though King Zar is missing at the moment, I'm sure she'll be fine in a bit." Wow, he'd never thought he'd have to comfort someone missing themselves. "Sad as I am to say, I don't have poptarts. I'll make sure to find and offer them to you if I do." Poptarts...what the heck were those things again? "So if the grass in purple, the unicorns are orange and the fountains give off green and blue spotted water, what color would you want the sky to be?"
