" Well. . . I did teach the literal devil how to be a nice person.
I guess I could help you out. "
A giggle.
"Thank you.
Well, I can't be totally a goody goody.....I might go back to evil at any point. If only there was a magical girl around here that could keep me in check..."
Cheeky grin.
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
Vaati
" Well, trying to be good is the first step to being good! "
A nod.
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"My, that's good to know. I am still learning some of my magic, actually. I used to be the kind of person who would use that reveal against you, but I am....trying to be better."
He wasn't sure why he felt like sharing that, maybe it was because she seemed so....straight forwardly good.
Vaati
" Mhm. My earrings are a magical crystal. All magical girls get their powers from them. "
The flower smelt so sweet. . . she couldn't help but smile. And now she wanted cherries.
" At least, from what I know. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
The flower smelt wonderful, like slightly overly sweet cherry. It had hints of his magic on it.
"20 years? My that is a long time. I'll trust you're usually more careful than this. So, that power comes from a crystal you own?"
Vaati
" Well, I don't normally accidentally reveal myself. . . I wouldn't have been doing this for 20 years otherwise. "
She's shaking her head, before sighing. Taking the dandelion.
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
".....Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. I apologize, I didn't mean to make you worried. I only called you out to try and make sure you don't reveal yourself in the future."
He bowed, summoning in his hands a simple flower- a dandelion.
"An apology gift."
Vaati
" I— "
She began grumbling to herself.
" I'm Marcie. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"You did kind of just reveal your secret identity..."
Oh boy, this went from cute to a little concerning.
"Oh right- Vaati. That's my name. If I'm going to be keeping your secret we should introduce ourselves."
Vaati
" Hey! Cute is a very common descriptor. "
She's looking up at him.
" And I don't just spill every detail about my life. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"Oh- it is very good! Send her my regards. Though..."
He floated above her, quite literally looking down on her.
"Do be more careful. If I was truly a villain, can you imagine what I could have gotten out of you? Especially after you described yourself as cute."
He mainly was teasing.
Vaati
She just started blinking again. Confused.
" Oh. "
She didn't like being messed with, but still. He didn't seem terrible.
" My friend is the best darn baker around. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
He takes a single sweet from the bag, looks like he's about to take the whole thing- then puts the bag back into her hand.
He giggles, taking the sweet into his mouth.
"Mmm, this is good- oh? Don't worry, I'm not evil~ Anymore. You're just too cute to not mess with~"
Vaati
" Ffffinnnneeee. "
She's reluctantly handing over the bag, still all pouty.
" A little. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
Aw- he actually felt kind of bad for that one.
But he liked messing with her more, it was too cute!
"I don't know....what do I get out of keeping the secret? I think sweets are a rather generous exchange~!"
He chuckled, resting his face to inspect hers.
"Are you actually mad?"
Vaati
She's got a big pout on her face, all huffy.
" Oh, come on! You don't wanna just spill secret identities! "
A loud sigh, reaching into her bag. Her last bag of sweets. . .
" Aww. I'm gonna have to stop by Serena's early. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"Hm hm, my if I was a magical villain I could use this against you- be more careful!"
He giggles, this display was oddly adorable! She wasn't wrong about the cute thing.
"Share some sweets with me and I won't mention it."
He wasn't going to anyway, he just wants sweets and likes teasing people.
Vaati
" Hehe, yeah— I. "
She's wide eyed, blinking. Quickly transforming back.
" No you don't. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"Heh, I suppose I relate on liking sweets at least. I have a major sweet tooth and-"
He paused mid sentence, before processing something.
"....Doesn't that mean I now know what your secret identity looks like?"
Vaati
" Well. . . it teaches, it likes sweets, and it's super cute?
Us Magical Girls have to transform, otherwise our powers don't work right.
This is just kinda how I look like normally. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
The cat blinks with a shocked expression, before a cloud of smoke comes up and dissipates- vaati once again floating infront of her.
He gives a polite clap with an amused smile.
"My, quite a transformation. What does it do?"
He genuinely seemed interested!
Vaati
" Well, I guess this outfit IS my disguise, but it's all I can transform. "
Rubbing the back of her head, before tapping her earrings. Cue a magical girl de-transformation!
" Ta–da! "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"You see, my magic allows me to disguise myself on top of a plethora of other things."
Vaati's voice was in the others mind now, some form of telepathy. He could just transform back but-
Part of him enjoyed being called a cute kitty. Not that he'd say it out loud.
Vaati
She blinked a few times, watching the smoke subside. And in it's place. . .
" KITTY—!
So cute. . ! "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"Hm hm, I'd like to call myself a mage but in truth I am still learning- especially compared to people like my master. However, I can perform a little!"
For his first trick, Vaati would cloud himself in smoke- once it disappears before her was....a simple black cat. Still floating in the air.
Vaati
" I mean, if you're a magician, I'm not sure how I could compare. But I guess so! "
Her hands laid on her hips, a bit curious.
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
Huh, interesting. A smirk came upon his lips.
"....Wanna compare magic? I think it could be fun~"
Vaati
" Uh. . . not that I know of? "
She's tilting her head in unison.
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"Huh? Magic crystals? So your magical power doesn't come from invocations that influence the written laws of the universe to unwind to your whim?"
Head tilt.
Vaati
" You guys study magic?
I just use a magic crystal. "
𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 .ᐟ
"Magical....girl?
Yeah, anyone can do magic if they study it?"
