Video; Open to both courts
[Roa could be seen in a fairly bright and well-lit kitchen, somewhere in his freshly carved mountain fortress. Outside, one could see sunlight and a bit of La Llorona's trees over in the background. He was busily mixing ingredients for baking, all while his locket was on. His then blond hair was tied back in a bun, glasses tipped a little bit on his nose. Occasionally, a hand would come up to adjust them.
There was a certain someone he wanted to annoy and that someone would get their cue soon enough. The video went on for a bit, showcasing Roa as he went through the preparation process to make croissants, loading them into a brick and mortar oven attached to the outside wall. He took the time to feed wood into the fire, saying nothing at all to anyone watching until the very end. He picked up his locket and held it up, stretching himself out just a little.
The moment his locket panned over, one could see something on the nearby dinner table that hadn't been visible at all until then. It was a severed arm, once belonging to one particular Seelie knight. Despite the fact that it was severed, it was in absolutely pristine condition, as it were stuck in time and perfectly preserved.]
There are some things you never forget. I haven't baked in ages.

[Nearly three hundred soldiers? Yeah, he was going to need to bring someone in so they wouldn't have to cook their supplies for themselves.]

That is to say, I've grown out of quite a few things, but they always seem to come back to me naturally.

[ Whereas she's had to relearn. God, what a weirdo. ]

[In terms of how his ability worked--technically he was over 800 years old and at the same time, his incarnations didn't live terribly long from time to time.]

[ Now that she thinks about it, she's really never asked until now. ]

You'll have to excuse me, though. The nature of my magic makes it very difficult to quantify something like that.
no subject
Hm. And hopefully something that doesn't involve that severed arm.
no subject
My magic's keeping it rather well preserved. It's the kind of magic you don't learn in anything less than five or ten years.
no subject
[ She has been wondering about that, and naturally, her morbid nature would have assumed that arm would have decayed. It would have been a good bone for the Outsider, though, she doesn't say it. ]
Interesting.
no subject
That is to say--it's clear the ones who find this truly repulsive aren't courageous enough to speak up.
no subject
[ Would it be that surprising anymore that would be what he wants? ]
And it's not my sense of taste, it's what I've seen before; severed limbs is nothing I haven't seen. They usually don't retain that fleshy color that long.

Though, you'll regret that sort of mindset, because--
You'll never get that far.

Do you want to know what it's like?

Really. Enlighten me.

I only start out as one little pin-prick in their mind before it explodes into a spider's web.
Every single time it happens, it's the same as waking up from a dream and all you do is watch while that former 'shell' you were within is rotting at your feet.

[ Alice isn't stupid, she won't be looking to fight him. The last person who tried that may be dead, but it's still taken time for her to recover. ]
