Sora was unable to blame the guards for being uneasy when he passed them with Larxene following behind him. "Looks like my reputation must have reached the poor simpletons of this world." Larxene said smirking as she followed Sora. "Sorry great jailor, I am sorry if I am unable to be anything other than myself. I mean they have a right to be worried as without these shackles there would be no stopping me tearing this castle apart." Larxene whispered into Sora and he was reminding himself to stay calm as Larxene was just baiting him.

Larxene remembered hearing about how her old boss in Organisation XIII Xemnas was pretty much another form of some Keyblade wielder called Xehanort or something and he had other selves and such. "How does it feel Sora knowing that despite beaten Xemnas Xehanort when he impersonated Ansem, you were basically just putting a minor delay in his plans since he is still out there with the forms you have destroyed." Larxene said in a mocking tone of voice and Sora had already prepared himself for when Larxene would try and get a rise out of him. "But it probably doesn't matter, despite your naivety and not that much experience you have beaten his forces before and who knows you might finish him off for good." Larxene said in a shrugging tone of voice which made Sora look surprised.

"...thanks Larxene..." Sora told Larxene not sure how to react to Larxene complimenting him. Larxene though she had just planed a first seed in her plans to get Sora as her ally, granted it was a plan that would not be easy and it would take some time for that seed to grow but the fact was that it was planted was a start. Soon they reached the throne room after passing Riku and Kairi, Riku glared at Larxene and Kairi looked a little afraid.

"Looks like Riku does not like how I used his appearance and the girl Kairi's counterpart Namine, you might need better company Sora." Larxene told Sora who just ignored her as they addressed King Mickey as Larxene looked bored as the King told off the same rules and guidelines that Sora had told her before. "If I am to cooperate somewhat with you I want something in particular... help against Organisation XIII. While I doubt Xemnas or Xehanort cared much of his cabal of Nobodies, I doubt he will let bygones be bygones due to the betrayal me and Marluxia have achieved so I want your help if and when the targets me for punishment." Larxene said in a tone that was half serious and down to business and half her usual cocky self.

King Mickey looked down for a second before facing Larxene and said "as long as you try to work with us and if you are not up to anything that would need to be stopped, you have my word we will do everything we can to help you against any possible retribution from Organisation XIII." King Mickey told her and Larxene grinned that she was getting her self-preservation end of the bargain. "Be warned, we will be ready if you are up to something." King Mickey told her and Larxene reminded herself that she will have to play along with doing anything now to permanently alienate the other possible allies she has right now... at least for now.

Larxene bowed a bit before she left with Sora, "Now that wasn't so bad, don't worry they will soon warm up to you, now let me show you to your room." Sora told her cheerfully which made Larxene rolled her eyes as she followed Sora yet again which lead them up several staircases and down a corridor until they reached a room. Sora opened it for her and they went inside to see a bedroom packed with things Larxene had brought with herself after she went into hiding from Organisation XIII.

"Looks like the servants brought my stuff here, how thoughtful..." Larxene muttered in a sarcastic tone before she noticed something and rushed to a bed stand where she dusted off a copy of the Hobbit. "There would have been hell to pay if those idiots even dented this!" Larxene muttered furiously as she made sure it was in good condition. She opened the cover page and Sora noticed there was a photo of a man with a little blonde girl with glasses wearing dark blue clothes. Apart from the clothes and the genuine non sadistic smile she looked like Larxene.

"Was that you before you became a Nobody?" Sora asked and Larxene and nodded with a glare to the boy. "You looked cute and it seems like a nice book." Sora told her and Larxene seemed to be caught off guard for a second.

"Thanks, this was a book my father gave me and I was always a bit of a reader on the island that we lived on... not that it was any of your business of course..." Larxene muttered having lost track of her usual behaviour right now. Sora thought that maybe she could bond with him, Kairi and Riku over growing up on an island. Sora was pleased that he managed to get this human bit of Larxene out for the moment making him confident that it was possible to help Larxene get her heart back.

"You let the stupid boy catch you off guard, this is not acceptable!" Larxene thought mentally chiding herself for allowing her to slip up like this. "Still at least the plan has stated well enough, I have this boy and his allies to have my back once this new Organisation XIII send someone after me. I would not think this boy would have been much of an ally years ago but of course he proved himself to be special by keeping himself after losing his own heart (a reason why Marluxia was interested in him) and the fact that he has been a strong Keyblade user despite failing to become a Master cannot be overlooked." Larxene thought as she thought of the next things she could do to get Sora to become her ally if whatever she does and best of all it does not contradict any of the rules they put on her:

Basically she will have to be a bit of a flirt.
