"Because Wild spoke highly of you" he replied walking toward a couch and standing next to it, his feet were hurting from running around the shelter all day.
"And I wanted to meet the woman whom she said guarded the Holy Grail" he smiled sadly "I'm sorry if I've been rude Madame, but I have had a very long day" he sat down and motioned for her to come toward him.

*Malefica came toward John as requested. She noticed his aching feet, and wanted to help, but was afraid for the reactions that might come if she did. Instead she turned her gaze to John, waiting for what he had to say.*
"Wild spoke highly of you as well, which is why I agreed to come. I'm sorry to hear about your feet. I may have something that might help."
*She found a small white box in her skirt pocket and offered it to him.*
"This is usually helping for all kind of aching. Rub in a thin layer twice a day."

John smiled and took the box "Merci" he offered a seat in front of him "would you speak to me openly?" He reached his hand out for hers "I know we do not know each other, but I have seen your life, I have felt your feelings, now I'd like to hear your opinion on it."
He was pushing slightly, he wanted to help her, but he knew that he could not help her, if she could not help herself.

*Malefica smiled and sat down with a graceful movement.*
"Merci. I can speak with you openly, but I am not used to speak about myself. So if you could ask me some questions I could reply to them as truthful as I can."

"Please, give me your hand, it will be easier to see your answers so that I can better understand them."

*Malefica gave him her hand, looking at him with her bright blue eyes. She was interested in his work techniques. She herself worked in a different way, with mindreading.*

John could feel a slight bit of fear "You have nothing to be afraid of" he returned her stare "now tell me, what is your greatest fear?"

*Malefica thought it over, thoroughly.*
"That something might happen to The Holy Grail, and I can't do anything to prevent it."

"Your daughter."

*Malefica froze and looked up at him.*
"My daughter? Eden? W-what do you mean?"

"No, no my dear, you're daughter Dominique" he smiled "the holy grail."

*Malefica blushed deeply and laughed nervously.*
"You must be mistaken, monsieur. Dominique is not my biological daughter. Merlin and I found her parents and an older brother dead. It was a horrible accident. The mother was pregnant, and I had to cut her open to save the child, Dominique. I have taken care of her ever since."

"I am not mistaken, you consider her to be your daughter" he smiled "you love her as one of your own" he furrowed his brow "your daughter Eden, I saw darkness when you thought of her, and the image a beautiful woman, what is wrong?"

*Malefica looked back at him, with tears in her eyes. The thought about Eden pained her still, as much as the memories of the cruel words her mother Lilith had thrown in her face.*
"T-the beautiful woman you saw was my mother, Queen Lilith of Hell. The last time she attacked me, she said she would... would turn my daughter against me. I don't want to see my daughter as a slave for the forces of evil."

John nodded his head.
So complicated he thought so alone.
"What had you done to cause your daughter to go with your mother?"
