"Why, hello princess," he greets her, a false, lazy grin plastered onto his face.

She doesn't trust him the moment she hears him. There's something about this man, something about his unusual, unheard of fire-red hair and black coat with too-much metal that's wrong, off-- not quite right.

"Of course, you're not really a princess," he continues conversationally, his fingers just barely twitching, "But close enough, right?"

She doesn't know what he means by that. That look he sends her is supposed to be friendly, that she does know, but it fails-- the acid green of his eyes are too poisonous to be kind. He doesn't fit in this garden of soft pinks and greens. He doesn't belong here. She knows that much.

"Leave," she says, too-harsh to be the lady she's supposed to be, and that false grin turns a bit more real.

"Harsh," he comments, then looks up. "but I'm already done here." And before she realizes what's happening, he is gone.

It's only a few weeks later when another in the same black outfit arrives, with the also strange, but trustable Sora coming soon after. And when he speaks of the Organization, she can't bring herself to dare tell him of the man with fire-red hair and poisonous eyes.
