Natalia's head tilted slightly in Naminé's direction, acknowledging what she'd said, but she was unable to tear her eyes away from that strange duplication of her face and form. "Perhaps? I certainly wasn't aware of any such impulses prior to this moment." She hoped that didn't mean she would be expected to spit as well in order to 'accept' this part of herself, spitting was truly vile.

Both blondes turned their heads fully when Anise spoke, however. Natalia seemed warmed by the encouragement, her fingertips laid together as she stood even straighter than she already was. "Anise..."

She was about to thank her, but her Calamity self had a quicker tongue. "You're really going to insist on calling me by the name of someone dead and buried? She's not your Natalia." She looked contemptuously back at the princess. "It's Meryl. How convenient that you just so happened to completely forget about that. What a stupid bitch."

"I beg your pardon?" Natalia gasped, shocked to hear that kind of language come out of her own mouth, in her own voice. "I will not tolerate this crude behavior a moment longer. I would never repress something so--"

And then she stopped short, her head snapping around to stare wide-eyed at Yuri. Her mouth fell open.

Calamity Natalia grinned. "Now this is going to get interesting~."

"You! What are you doing here? This is extremely private!" she protested, flustered. "I must insist that you remove yourself from this room at once!"

"Wow, talk about ungrateful," the duplicate muttered with a cheeky grin, picking at her teeth. "He was one of the few that showed up to help the people of that city and even saved your dumb ass despite treating him like a servant. Now you're going to boss him around some more? What a crappy 'princess,'" she snorted with laughter, her fingers hooking into air quotes. "I say he stays."

"I most certainly do not say that!"
