[UNICORN]

[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]

[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]

YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.

BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

[Just kind of arches a brow at her, gently.]
commandress: (And you haven't got a clue)

... What. [ Flatly. ]

[Just smiles innocently.]

What's so bad about it, though? Taking the lead for this team?
commandress: (You're a spineless pale pathetic lot)

Why would you want us to have a leader in the first place?

Oh, I never said anything about wanting a leader.

[Especially not at the beginning. Henry is not the sort who likes to be led around; he has been under the thumb of others for too many years of his life.

Now, though, that he's warmed up to Unicorn? He can appreciate the role she's taken up, whether she denies it or not.]


But if we ended up with one, a reluctant kind is the best sort. Right?

[ She doesn't want this, Henry. ]

It's a little late to say that now, but I suppose I appreciate your willingness for cooperation if I have to be authoritative.

[ ... Like she already has been. We're not acknowledging this. ]
