The sadness inside of Maleficent can never be shown. She learned over the years to cover it up with a sneer, with cold eyes, with a careless, arrogant attitude.
And then this little beast comes along and looks at her with eyes so innocent, so bright they seem to penetrate the dark fae’s soul.
“Why are you always so sad?” she asks one day, and Maleficent is stunned.
“That’s none of your business,” she simply states and walks away.
Because what could she tell the little princess? That she’s sad because there’ll be a day Aurora leaves to a land of sunshine, and leaves Maleficent behind in the shadows?
She laughs darkly to herself. She wouldn’t even admit these pitiful thoughts to herself …

God, this so perfectly captures that sense of pain and longing and resignation that Maleficent holds inside. ♥

Aww, thank you! I'm so glad I was able to express it that way, for I've never wrote Maleficent before and she's such a deep, great character :D
