Super duper voicetesting. Be gentle!

[Without even missing a beat, Maleficent fixes an unimpressed stare on her mun and shoots off some dry snark:] Am I supposed to be flattered? I thought you hated me. [She pauses, a finger fluidly sweeping the air in a mock 'a-ha' motion.] Oh, that's right. You hated the way I was written.

Why the sudden change of heart?


[But it's upon hearing the reason that her face softens just so.]

I see. It's what Lily said. About being so surprised that I'm a real person, not just... a force of sheer terror and evil. [Her red lips peel back, the quiet laughter that escapes them is more at the memory of her daughter's name for her-- 'scary dragon bitch', yes.] And I suppose that rang true for you, as well?

[After a moment, her chin lifts and her shoulders draw back. Proud, sure, and regal, as she comes to a decision. This place may be a blessing. It may give her a chance to truly connect with Lily without having to worry she'll disintegrate back into dust.]

If you can come to love me, then perhaps there is hope that my daughter can do the same.
