Maleficent suddenly wanted to know the whole story. What had happened to the girl. Right now, though, there were more pressing matters.
She didn't completely understand the gestures Ariel was making, the one to the heart was unmistakable, of course. The only reason that she got the general idea of what Ariel was saying was because of the sorrow in her eyes. Maleficent had felt a similar feeling.
"Please don't tell me you're intending to kill yourself." Maleficent sighed. "Over love? There's much more to the world than that."
Of course, she was being more than a little bit hypocritical. Ariel didn't need to know that. Nobody did.
