[If Vivienne knew of either Regina or Rumple, she would Greatly Disapprove of them, for the sheer abuses of magic alone. It is likely best she does not, for the Iron Lady in a righteous fit of anger is a dangerous creature.
This unease she's caused Red inadvertently doesn't go wholly unnoticed though. Certainly the tree has a part of it, but then Vivienne does do what she can to cultivate a sense of awe and intimidation in others. It generally helps keep them in line at court.]
Nonsense. I have this well in hand. A moment, if you please.
[Hope Red's not too bothered by the use of magic. There's not a templar nearby to cut off any aggressive reactions and Vivienne would hate to have to subdue someone so soon after a rescue. She channels the ambient magical energy in the air and grasps hold of it. When she raises her arms, the tree itself raises into the air. Not terribly far, but enough for Red to scramble out while the Iron Lady shifts the trunk to one side.]
