Shadiss had half expected Palaren to reach for that trident of his and her crimson gaze had actually been tempted to glance over at the trident. Instead, she had decided that it was better for her to keep her gaze upon the man so then she could watch for any reaction that may ensue. Instead of anger or even resentment, the man chuckled, he chuckled as he shook his head. Her brow knitted together as she tried to puzzle out his reaction, watching as he shook his head. The woman pressed her lips tightly together as the corners turned downwards. Did he think that she was lying? Why would she lie about being apart of a race that was hunted? What was the man playing at? She was still puzzling over it when he began to speak again saying that he had thought that she had a speech impediment. When she heard those words it made sense and a slight smile curved her lips at this. She had been used to people picking up her accent as a speech impediment or a lisp that she had forgotten about till now. In fact, she had grown used to her accent amongst the humans that she rarely noticed it, till he had pointed it out.
Her crimson gaze watched as he stepped closer, making the connection that she was apart of the snake people that had come out of the sea waters, although she would have to point out that they were apart of a different sub race. A topic that she was about to speak upon before he apologized and she that found his arms suddenly wrapped her into an embrace. His form was warm and the embraced tightened for a moment. It surprised her for it was not the reaction that she had expected, but then again, he had said that it wasn’t the Zeltivan way to kill things that they didn’t understand. Whatever the Zeltivan way is, she silently questioned to herself as she remained unsure as to how to react in such a situation. The woman hadn’t in all of her one hundred and ten years been embraced like this before, as she had preferred to be alone. Even when they had engaged in sexual activities at the Spring, they hadn’t embraced like this. However, she could tell why those who wished for it, found it appealing. So instead of reacting, she simply stood there, attempting to not lean into the embrace, her muscles slightly tensing. Indeed, she was attempting to not cave to those pesky things called emotions.
The moment that he turned away to seat himself upon the bed and indicated that she should sit into the chair, was the moment that she relaxed, if only but a little bit. Viper remained standing by the window for the moment while she attempted to explain to him about her race. She had never had to explain to anyone about her race, mostly because she never revealed herself to be a Dhani. However, now she did find herself to be in such a situation. ”I’m not exactly apart of thossse that came from the sssea. That isss a sssub raccce of Dhani that not even I know about. There are other sssub racccesss of Dhani and I am of the Viper variety. The weakessst of the racccesss when it comesss to ssstrength but ssspeed isss on our ssside.” She lifted a hand to gently run her fingers through her short grey locks, her crimson gaze turning away from Palaren. ”And that’sss all I have to tell you upon that topic.” Shadiss simply said, as she hesitated upon mentioning her choice of profession.
