Mazikeen cannot stifle the grin that pulls its way across her lips when the shorter of the pair voices her approval of Nyimara's absence. Mazikeen may never have crossed the mare personally, but her name has been whispered often enough across the islands that the speckled queen is well aware of her reputation. Mazikeen is very much looking forward to the day the witch queen makes her return to Salem and she is presented with the opportunity to best her on the battlefield. Until such a day, though, she fully intends to make the most of her time here on Salem.

The dun speaks again, her words piquing Mazikeen's interest. So she is one of Lucifer's spawn? That would certainly explain her boldness, though she could not be any different from her sire in the physical sense. She has certainly not inherited Lucifer's height nor his muscle, but certainly Lucifer has lended a bit of himself that can be seen in the way she carries herself - with pride and confidence.

Mazikeen considers their words with care, her lips pursing as she mulls over their offer. There would be much benefit to tying herself to Lucifer's kin, though she must also consider what the ramifications may be should her relationship with the Dunes king ever sour. Not a future she forsees coming to pass, but one she must consider anyway. But here, now, things are good on Salem, and having a friend on Tinuvel - someone other than Warwick, of course - could certainly pose an advantage should she ever need to return to the frozen island.

After a long beat of silence, the Desert queen inclines her head and says, "Very well. Let us be allies. My name is Mazikeen, and I am Marceline's daughter." In a strictly biological sense, of course. "I hope you girls are not expecting anything other than support from this deal. I'm aware it can sometimes be customary to exchange herd members, or promise one's child as a sign of trust, but I think you'll find I have neither of those things to give at the moment and even if I did, I wouldn't so easily part with them." Again there is no hue of hostility to Mazikeen's words, but her tone is firm as she addresses the pair, her amber eyes flicking between them.
