*Malefica looked lovingly at him. Then she took of an amulet she had carried around her neck, and hung it around his neck instead.*
"This amulet is my own. When I made it, it cost me a lot of sacrifice and suffering. I had to use blood from my aorta. And I was still a virgin then. So this should be powerful enough."
*Then she produced the Black Wand and gave it back to him, with a sigh of relief.*
"Please take it. The evil forces in it are making me sick."
*It was no lie. Her face was unnaturally pale, and she cringed violently.*

*For a moment Icarus was lost in thought of how one retrieved blood from an aorta without killing someone. Then he took the wand and looked up to her, genuine curiosity in his face.*
"How is it then that you bore it so long without me?"

*Malefica looked up at him and grinned, a little embarrassed.*
"I have to admit, I didn't. I can't touch it without getting sick. I used to hide it in the places where I stayed. For many years Merlin protected it for me, because it always made me sick. When I came here, I hid it in the bedpost of my bed in the Opera House. And when I met you, I hid it in the bedpost in your room. You really didn't notice it there?"

*Icarus's eyes darkened at the prospect. He didn't want her invading his spaces like that. He frowned, but questioned calmly.*
"But you claimed to bear it. Why do so when you could not call it to your defense? It seems foolish, an unnecessary risk."

*Malefica smiled and looked at him.*
"My dear, beloved husband. Have you never heard about teleportation? I can do that easily. Do you remember my red pouch, in the locked drawer in our bedroom? Look at this."
*She closed her eyes for a moment, as to focus on unlocking a drawer, then she focused on the red pouch. She willed the pouch to come to her, and reached out her hand. When she opened her eyes again, the pouch was in her hands.*
"When I can do this with a pouch, I can also do it with a wand."

*He stared at her blankly.*
"So...you did bear it, merely lazily."
*He lowered his eyes again.*
"I am familiar with teleportation. And its many limitations."
*He lifted his hand calmly, showing her the pouch that she had procured to be in his own hand.*
"That which can be manifested is open to manifestation."

*Malefica smiled, impressed by his powers.*
"And you claim that you will be useless in the fight? I don't think so!"
*She looked up at him, interested, eager to learn.*
"What more can you do?"

*Icarus didn't echo her zeal. He only looked bored.*
"Malefica, you know what I can do. And what my limitations are. I am a sorcerer. But I cannot wield the powers of Light."
*He shrugged.*
"Teleportation was never limited to one side or the other."

*Malefica looked up at him with a smile.*
"And I cannot wield the powers of Darkness. So we complete each other. We should cooperate. Can't you see how strong we could be if we helped each other more? I would love to help you out in your work once in a while. And you could be really useful in mine."

*Icarus tensed. His jaw flexed as his patience started to wear.*
"What is it exactly that you think I'm doing? Am I not helping? Contributing?"
And you're a piss poor demon if you can't wield any of the dark powers. I don't believe that for a moment.

*Malefica chuckled with laughter. She had seen his eyes darken, read his body language, and from that guessed what he was thinking.*
"You are indeed contributing, my love. I never said anything else."
*She looked him into the eyes for a moment, her own turning yellow.*
I am not a demon. I am a devil. I almost destroyed Hell when I escaped. You have no right to underestimate my powers. You haven't seen my evil strength yet. Don't wake up what should stay hidden.

*Icarus stared into her golden eyes, unmoved.*
"I thought you weren't doing that anymore." *He said plainly.*

*Malefica smiled and her eyes turned blue again.*
"I'm practicing for Lilith's return. I was prepared to fight her. I didn't think I had to fight my own family as well. First Eden is proving talents for being a Witch of Darkness, and then I have to argue with my own husband because I practice White Magic. You two are wearing me out before Lilith even gets here. And I don't need it right now. I have other things to worry about."

*Icarus shook his head, kind of sad for her. Did she really not get it? He was doing this for her. To support her.*
"I'm not arguing with you for practicing White Magic. I'm merely trying to understand the nature of things before all Hell smashes down on us. Is it wrong that I want to know what's going on before my family is put in harm's way? I am not trying to exhaust you. You are the one that came here, asking me things. I have only sought to sate your questioning."
*He paused for a moment and then his face lightened, a smile peeking in the corners of his mouth.*
"Eden? She's...manifesting already?"
*He beamed with pride.*

*Malefica beamed too, it was impossible for her to hide her pride any longer.*
"Icarus, she is the best witch I have ever seen! I found it a waste of time to go through the kindergarden stuff. She is too talented fot that. So we went directly to the Black Magic! I am so proud of her! Every inch a Daddy's girl!"
*She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him.*
