𝔏𝔦𝔯 𝓗𝑦𝔬𝔰𝔢𝔱𝔰𝔲 ___________________________________________________________________________Lir continued to watch as his daughter and wife left the room, almost sorry for whatever Mizuki was about to hear. If Lir had done the talking, he waould have told her to not get caught, but Artemis was much more serious about Mizuki's safety than her cold exterior would lead to believe. The matter he had to attend to now was more of a business nature. He looked at pix being cheerful and happy and saw a potential ally rather than a common thief. The pixie seemed to harbor no ill will at all towards anyone, which could be a double edged sword, but in the right hands... "Pix, I hope you do enjoy the food, after all I'm sure we have much to talk about. I understand that you are quite good with your hands, and having the ability to shrink things is most definitely a useful one to have, I think." Lir spoke sounding as chipper as he could with a charming smile, but underneath he was all business. "Do you currently have a job? If not I would like to make you an offer. As you may know we are royalty, and I myself have the duty of maintaining relations with other kingdoms. I am in the business of making friends Pix, and just as you are Mizuki's dear friend, I would like us to be friends as well. Would you hear me out?" Lir couldn't tell if the pixie was actually paying attention to him. His blissful ignorance could be a hindrance, but he was taught that an ally was always a risk and risk reaps reward. He cut into his steak, hoping for a favorable reply, and thinking of a way to turn around an unfavorable one.

  ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ Pix was beginning to grow confused. Had they not all just sat down for a meal? Why in the world would Miss Arty suddenly decide to cancel the meal for herself and Miss Mizi? Had something gone wrong? Did it have to do with what Pix had said before? The Pixie was visibly troubled by this thought. Had he caused trouble for these people by speaking of something he wasn't supposed to? He knew that Mizi wanted him to keep things a secret....but..this was her family! How could she even dream of keeping secrets from such people? But before Pix could testify it seemed that the two were already on there way out. Pix had heard the Queen's comment about the two men enjoying the food, but he had already started his wings up, hovering off the table and ready to follow Mizi to make sure he could keep the smile on her face. But...then Mizi spoke up as well. The Pixie looked into her eyes carefully, searching for some sort of message in them, but could find nothing. And so Pix stayed quiet, nodding as he slowly lowered himself back onto the table. It wasn't often that the Pixie picked up on human social cues, but it seemed the Pixie had managed to understand that he wasn't welcome to follow the two ladies out of the room. And so Pix sat right where he had stood before, the flowers just behind him as he crossed his legs and stared at the door Mizi had left from, quietly awaiting her return. But it seemed Pix would find himself drawn from this in a matter of moments as well. Lir had spoken, and while at first Pix wasn't completely drawn in, he soon found himself hovering once more at the idea of a deal. The Pixie moved back to his spot he had set at the table, slowly hovering down into his chair as he listened to the King speak with great interest, a smile returning to his face as his energy began to return to him. His wings twitched occasionally as Pix thought about the offer. Heck, he didn't even know what the man was going to offer him, but it sounded fantastic! "I had a career as a heist master but Mizi asked me to stop doing that. So...I guess I don't have a job right now. I would be thrilled to hear your offer Mr. King!" Pix said, sounding a little unsure when he spoke about his job. After all, stealing had been his life up to this point, and suddenly giving it up left a bad taste in his mouth. But...it was what Mizi wanted. And Mizi was his friend! "As long as Miss Mizi is ok with it I would be more then happy to hear what you have to offer!" Pix added, offering a wide smile as he began to rock in his chair once more. Although the thought of the stoic sadness on Mizuki's face still loomed in the back of his mind.

𝔏𝔦𝔯 𝓗𝑦𝔬𝔰𝔢𝔱𝔰𝔲___________________________________________________________________________Lir listened as Pix told him about Mizuki asking him to stop thieving. The pix knew what a thief was, and Mizuki was already trying to broker a deal with him. Pride for his daughter attempting to be diplomatic aside, he still wasn't sure if pix knew what he was doing is frowned upon by most kingdoms. The situation was looking up, and he could keep pix around, hopefully to keep Mizuki from being so drawn into herself. Killing birds with one giant water wave as it were. Lir put his fork down and folded his hands in front of him. "I see my daughter has already spoken with you, and I can appreciate she was trying to get you to stop. I'm not sure you're aware, but in our kingdom stealing is considered a crime, even if of a lesser nature. I do not however have any intention of punishing you." He took a deep breath as he began "I would like to offer a job doing just that, stealing. Though it would not be just for yourself. I have need of an agent, if that sounds compelling to you. My family and I will be going on a... business trip of sorts, and many important people will be there with lots of valuable items and gold. I would give you free reign to take what you wish, but I must ask you to not only steal materials. I would have you steal information as well. The Dark kingdom king will be there, and I understand if this makes you turn down the offer, but he and my family are no strangers or friends. This would allow you to keep being friends with Mizuki as well as you would be granted free leave of the castle so long as you don't take anything from here."Lir kept his eyes on the pixie, looking for any notable reactions. "Should you turn this offer down, I still have no intention of punishment, but I won't be able to sanction your actions within the kingdom should they be known. I can share more of the tinier details if you want the job. You seem like a capable individual, and I imagine stopping what you've made a career doing isn't an easy choice to make. You don't have to take the offer now, but I must ask that you do not speak of the offer to anyone outside of our family. Needless to say you can speak with Mizuki and Artemis if you so choose. Is this agreeable?"This entire situation had taken a much more positive turn from what it had originally been, and Lir was not usually inclined to take advantage of the situation. Far be it for him to look a gift horse in the mouth though. The groundwork for the deal had been made. Though not a contract deal, Lir was wont to take opportunities when they seemed reasonable enough. There was more than sufficient gain for both sides and even danger should Pix be unable to fulfill his duties. If she so wanted, the queen could also override the deal entirely, but Lir was not about to mention this. He was at least a little sure he could convince the queen that this was a very lucrative decision.

▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ Pix was...well....stumped by the King's offer. Earlier he had been very excited to take on whatever challenge this man had to offer, but as the explanation continued, Pix's smile seemed to fade into that of a stoic expression. It seemed things needed to be seriously considered now. Pix knew the underbelly of the Dark Kingdom's black market all to well, and wasn't to keen on ever returning to such a terrible place. But at the same time, the offer was hard to pass up. Gathering information wasn't difficult, in fact Pix was fairly good at it. He'd be lying if he said he hadn't done a few jobs involving sneaking into particularly wealthy homes to steal documents and other information. And this deal seemed like a grand opportunity. And...as long as Pix didn't get caught he would be fine! "I'd be happy to accept your deal Mr. King! Although I do hope you know the risk I'm putting myself in by returning to such a kingdom! Dark Kingdom residents are very fond of tearing my kind's wings off for profit." Pix said, his voice still uncomfortably cheery as he began to eat some of the food that had been set out for him. "I do hope this means I will have some sort of protections during this business trip, but I don't expect you to cover for me in the event that I'm caught during my thieving." He added between mouthfuls of a wonderfully well cooked meat of sort.

▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄ After Pix ate in an uncomfortable silence he decided enough was enough! For one reason or another the King had gone silent, and Pix had more important things to take care of! He had to get back to work! Just...well....not in the Water Kingdom. After all, he couldn't just break his promise to Mizi! Speaking of Mizi, Pix would write a quick note (normal sized) to Mizi letting her know that he had taken off and that if she needed to get into contact him she could probably find a way to do so. And just like that he was gone, out of the castle and out of the Kingdom. -exit-

𝔏𝔦𝔯 𝓗𝑦𝔬𝔰𝔢𝔱𝔰𝔲___________________________________________________________________________ Lir stirred as he realized that he had been zoning out for a good few minutes. Then the Pixie huffed and left without him being able to say anything. Then he heard a strange noise from outside... it sounded like... laughing? Lir got up having finished his meal and left for the pool. (Exits)
