frostbittenprince:

He makes a face for a moment then grins back at her. “THen I suppose you are also stuck with me. SO YOu paint with me, then I WIll just visit another time when she’s around.” He had time to kill and decided it was best to travel back at night when it was cooler. This desert was crazy!

“YOu can beat me up some more if you want.” He laughs a little, feeling a little more comfortable teasing Basilisk.

Basilisk visibly scowled at his offer. He may irritate her, and not yet have her “seal” of approval, but she had no desire to lash out at him again. Such a fact might be surprising, but his recent words had mellowed her out enough to stave off further outbursts of rage for the time being. As she said, he was safe from her wrath…. Mostly.

” N@. I will N@T ‘beat’ the ssstuffing @ut @f y@u anym@re than I already have. I am quite thr@ugh with that, thank y@u.”

She grumbled to herself as she stepped over. There was no need to make it sound so dramatic. She hadn’t beat him within an inch of his life. She’d only frightened him and left him with a few claw marks, much to her satisfaction.

The snake knelt down to the palette of paints and picked up one of the brushes, peering up towards Shinii simultaneously. “I d@n’t feel very c@mf@rtable jusssst painting with y@u near. Painting isssss ss@mething I h@ld highly perssss@nal.”

frostbittenprince:

He shifts a little then looks around and smiles. “WHy don’t we paint until she wakes up?” He steps back a bit more, gesturing to the buckets. “WE COuld, together.” He didn’t want to upset Basilisk anymore then he was sure he already had. He puts a hand on some blank wall.

Smiling now he shows off his sharp teeth. “ONly if you want to though.”

Basilisk paused and stared, surprised he wanted to stick around, to say the least. Although when he mentioned it was to wait for Nagini to awaken, she understood. “Sssshinii…. I’m afraid…. It d@esssss n@t quite w@rk that way. I can n@t be here @n a whim, n@r can ssshe be g@ne @n a whim. When we have ssswitched, there iss n@ sswitching back until the cycle hassssss reached itss end. @nly then d@ we sswitch back. It iss an aut@matic pr@cesssss.”

She stepped up to the highblood and placed her hand atop his as it rested against the flat surface of the wall. “Sshe iss bussy being me right n@w,” she suddenly grinned. “A tassk that I am certain isss m@sst difficult f@r her.” The snake dropped her hand away from Shinii’s, her eyes coming to rest on the pendant in her other hand even as she stood before him. “Ss@, I’m afraid…. Y@u are ssssstuck with me f@r the time being….”

She listened to him in silence with her back turned, his words rather meaningful, but irritating to her all the same. She was not at all pleased with Nagini’s refusal to continue her legacy. As far as Basilisk was concerned, it wasn’t just a legacy, but a destiny. Nagini was supposed to take her place, and with such a position came the responsibility of judging the balance of others. Should their balance be off, it is her job to help them fix it, or KILL them if they treat it like a joke.

“Y@u sssseem t@ be under the missssc@ncepti@n that I am here t@ c@ddle her and pr@tect her. I am n@t even here by ch@ice. Either way, I am N@T here t@ pressserve her unlessss her b@dy befallssss threatening perilss whilsst I am usssssing it. Sshe musst triumph @ver her pr@blemssssss by hersself. H@w elsse will sshe gain sskill and experience?” The woman turned back around, watching Shinii splatter paint over himself like a fool while she quietly thought to herself about the paints themselves. Nagini wasn’t the one who willingly used paints made from troll blood…. A smirk slowly spread across Basilisk’s lips. “I h@pe y@u realize… y@u’re ssmearing y@ursself in the bl@@d @f my f@@lisssh victimss… Jusst think. Thiss c@uld have been y@u. I like t@ take ss@uvenirsss fr@m my killss in @rder t@ add t@ my c@llecti@n @f paintsssss.” Basilisk carefully approached the Highblood, pushing the palette of paints aside with her foot. “Alth@ugh I may like y@u, Sshinii. It d@ess n@t mean I w@n’t at sssss@me p@int unleassh my wrath ssh@uld y@u begin t@ aggravate me. I am here f@r @ne reasss@n, and @ne reasss@n @nly! T@ make ssssure Nagini c@ntinuessss my w@rk asss sshe iss @bligated t@ d@ sssss@! If y@u value what it meanss t@ be am@ngsst the living… Y@u will ssssstay @UT @f my WAY.”

The snake held Shinii in a burning, narrow gaze. For a moment she almost dared him, in her mind, to take a swing at her just so she could demonstrate how easily she could put HIM in HIS place.

He does something worse, he ignores her. Putting the brush down he touches the paints on his arms, inspecting the quality. “MY OWn paints are made from blood too.” He spreads some between his fingers, feeling the texture. He was scared shitless, no doubt, but this was like fighting a hoof beast. A good Hunter does not give into his fear, he wished he has his jacket, it always made him feel safer. But if he wanted to be a friend of Nagini he had to show Basilisk that he wasn’t a quivering grub, that he could stand on his own, also he was sure respect was in their somewhere.

He was hard to not give into his highblooded nature and just take her head right there, he could, he was sure she knew that too. And even with her ability to defend herself in the end most Subjugators were all but immune to most lowblood powers. Well…the mind ones not the ones that can hurl knives and shit.

“FIne, so you are not coddling her. BUt its not your body, and her mission is not yours. BUt you are also right, it is none of my business, but as for our future conversations I hope that you will allow me to befriend her. I lIke NAgini, she’s strong and full of life, also my LUsus likes her. I WAnt to paint and hang out with HER.” He finally moves up to get into Basilisks’ face. “PLease understand, I WIll not stop you or your mission, but I HOpe someday you find peace.” He takes her hand and presses his against it for a moment and steps back, leaving behind the symbol of the Signless. Before backing away respectfully with a small bow. “I WIll leave now if you want me too.”

Lucky him….. She was the knife throwing kind, but no steel would be thrown today. Basilisk wasn’t going to hurt or forbid Shinii from seeing Nagini. She even backed down from her standoffish glare and shied her gaze from him when he leaned in close. The only reason her temper had flared was because of the highblood’s indirect attempt to break through her thick wall of psychotic, anti-social arrogance. She simply wasn’t going to allow it this early in the ‘game’…. She wasn’t going to bestow her trust.

“I w@n’t ssst@p y@u…” she uttered softly, but tensed up in silence when Shinii took her by the hand and spoke those words to her. The snake looked to the silver pendant in her palm, as though stricken by the gesture. And for just a brief moment…. it seemed something deep within that had long been locked away and sheltered from the world, was stirred by the significance of the Signless. It was but a fleeting moment of reconciliation with the girl whom she’d used to be before her downfall. But just as its appearance was all too sudden, so was its departure. Basilisk peered back up at Shinii with a somber expression. “I will let y@u kn@w when sshe isssss due t@ return… Until then…. Keep y@ur disssstance if y@u wisssssh.”

frostbittenprince:

“NO, NOt cause of just that. EVen though I FInd her….she’s amazing.” He smiles a little fondly, even if he’d only known her for a short while. She was stronger then most lowbloods, she was like Sheazn and Crevan. Sturdy and smart, and so amazing that most Highbloods would never be able to see their value.

“NO, I OFfer because what I SEe behind these paintings. I PAint too.” He grabs his sleeves and pushes them up his arms a little, long slash marks pepper them, criss crossing lines. Deep and old. He walks up to Nagini’s paints and brushes, smelling the bloods mixed in for the colors. Like his own. “I OFfer because I KNow whats its like to live in the shadow of an ANcestor so powerful that not even death stopped them. ITs hard, to be alone. EVen if you don’t want my help, or need it. I CAn at least try to be their for her. YOu might be able to stave off a HIghblood on your own, but what about her? WHat if for some reason you can’t be there? LIfe is filled with uncertainties.” He picks up a brush and runs it up his arm, smearing a creamy blue on his grey skin.

“AS I SAid, IVe hunted IMperial DRones. BUt I CAn’t do it alone forever, 2 sweeps remain before I TAke my place in the stars with my kind. 2 sweeps before I loose my mind, you know better then anyone what becomes of most SUbjuggulators.” He splats his arm with red. “NOthing I WAnt to repeat.”

She listened to him in silence with her back turned, his words rather meaningful, but irritating to her all the same. She was not at all pleased with Nagini’s refusal to continue her legacy. As far as Basilisk was concerned, it wasn’t just a legacy, but a destiny. Nagini was supposed to take her place, and with such a position came the responsibility of judging the balance of others.

Basilisk slowly turned her head towards him after recovering from the brief shock of being dropped into the other troll’s lap. Her calm gaze hid the small storm brewing up inside as Shinii tried to comfort her with gentle touches. She suddenly hissed at him, quite literally. “Y@u will ceassssssse t@uching me, AT @NCE!” She had seized poor Shinii by the throat and sneered in his face, obviously not ready to accept affections or pity from anyone, especially those younger than herself. “D@ n@t assssume y@u can jussst cuddle up t@ me, wriggler… I may n@t sssssee y@u asss a p@tential target, but that d@esssssss N@T give y@u licensssse t@ try t@ c@ddle ME!…. D@ y@u undersssstand?” Her closing question was spoken in a level, yet foreboding tone. He was going to have to work at it if he desired any kind of acceptance from her. It was becoming clear that she wasn’t going to make it very easy for him, though.

She released Shinii without waiting for an answer and got up from his lap, having had quite enough of this up close and personal nonsense. “I need n@thing fr@m y@u @r any@ne.” The snake answered at last after letting her temper simmer.

He blinks in surprise, just sitting there for a few moments after she retreated. He turns and then stands up, growling, his own anger flared for a moment. “ANd just because I AM YOunger then you does not mean I don’t deserve your respect!” He snaps, his eyes turning purple for a moment. “I WAsn’t giving you pity, I WAs offering my services!”

He stands tall, towering over her as he throws out his arms, his shoulders and spin popping as he lets out a sigh, from being cramped on the floor. “I AM NOt so easily tossed about, no matter my beliefs, I WOuld protect myself it necessary!” He felt bad for touching her like that, he had forgotten himself. Feeling stupid, which made him angry at himself.

“SOoner or later everyone needs something from someone. DOn’t burn all your bridges until you know whats across the river. I OFfer because I like Nagini, not you.” He looks at the paintings again. “YOu are just another pushy ANcestor, trying to overshadow everything.” He touches the painting closest to him. “I WOuld know, even from the grave mine stands over me like a looming wall of DEath.”

He snarls at her again. “SO HOld your tongue when you presume so much about me just because I am young!”

The serpent smirked to herself while Shinii ‘struck’ back at her as if pleased that he did not simply lie there and quiver like a whelp. Pleased or maybe amused. She peered towards him over her shoulder with a toothy grin. “Very well…. But y@u’ve l@@ked me in the eyessss ss@ many timesss that had I felt it necessssary, I w@uld already kn@w everything ab@ut WH@ y@u ARE…. And then there w@uld be n@ presssssuming, n@w, w@uld there? Hnhnhnhnhnhn…” Basilisk’s smile disappeared the moment she turned away and began treading around the space. “I have n@ need f@r y@ur sssservicess, Highbl@@d. I’ve already disspatched my f@rmer massssster and THAT wass neither here n@r in the n@w.” She paused in front of a painting that depicted what looked like an older version of Nagini viciously decapitating a Subjuggulator. The detail of it was not so much in the figures themselves but in the vivid emotions behind every stroke.

“Sshinii… ” At last, she said his actual name, her lips curved into a strange, faint smile. “I am the painter… Nagini issss the mussssician. Fr@m what I can tell……. Painting iss n@t where her true sskill liessss. Ssstill, sshe d@ess it t@ expresssss hersself……. Like me.” It was difficult to determine exactly what point the woman was trying to make, if any. In her mind, she was recalling the moment when Shinii had said that her art had invoked whispers of painful sadness in him. “D@ y@u sstill sstand by y@ur sstatement that the @nly reass@n y@u @ffer iss because @f y@ur f@ndnesssss @f Nagini….? “

frostbittenprince:

Shinii watches her relax before he dared speak a single word. “WHat do you need from me?” He asks at last, he didn’t know why but he felt perhaps there was something he could do for her. He sits up, his surprising strength dropping Basilisk into his lap, his eyes even with her own.

“I WIll not kill a lowblood with out just cause, but I HAve hunted down highbloods that have deserved it.” He thinks about all the jars of highblood in Sheazn’s cart. The man times he’s hunted a Blueblood or higher into the silent trees. “I’Ve even killed an IMperial DRone once.” He wasn’t bragging so much, as he was informing an potential employer? Or matesprit? Or others?

He puts his hands gently on her arms, giving them a gentle squeeze. “WHat did they do to you? ANd who do I NEed to kill?”

Basilisk slowly turned her head towards him after recovering from the brief shock of being dropped into the other troll’s lap. Her calm gaze hid the small storm brewing up inside as Shinii tried to comfort her with gentle touches. She suddenly hissed at him, quite literally. “Y@u will ceassssssse t@uching me, AT @NCE!” She had seized poor Shinii by the throat and sneered in his face, obviously not ready to accept affections or pity from anyone, especially those younger than herself. “D@ n@t assssume y@u can jussst cuddle up t@ me, wriggler… I may n@t sssssee y@u asss a p@tential target, but that d@esssssss N@T give y@u licensssse t@ try t@ c@ddle ME!….

Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:16:00 -0400

frostbittenprince:

Shinii shook a little as she reached down, his eyes wide in fear as she pulled the necklace free, the silver glinting in the light. It was plain, simple silver, with a small pendent on it, which held the iron symbol of the Signless.

“I..I..DOn’t know, obviously he’s very dead…b..but the ice has perfectly preserved him.” He tries to keep the subject on undead, because really that is alot better then trolls finding out he was a subjugulator that follows the teachings of a hated man. “BUt the ice wouldn’t melt anytime soon..cause…of weather.”

He slowly looked up into her eyes, it was so painfully obvious Nagini wasn’t there, there was a strength of will in those eyes he’d never seen in a lowblood before. Not even Crevan or Sheazn had eyes like those. These eyes knew things.

But the wielding of the sign was obvious now, Shinii’s demeanor to lowbloods, his continual fight against his nature. Doing everything he can before he reaches maturity to find some sort of stable ground to stand on, some sort of ground to fight his fate. The fate of his friends.

She caught him scrutinizing her and met his gaze, the snake holding it like a brazen cobra. Her intensity was unwavering, the way she looked into Shinii’s eyes. It was as though she could see the very essence of his soul and all of what made him who he is. However, it was impossible to tell if she was judging him by the content of what she saw. It was impossible to make out even a tiny hint of what she was thinking. It was only when she finally broke away from the stare down that her untouchable facade had been broken to a degree.

The woman breathed a drawn out sigh as she stared into the distance. “What will I d@ with y@u… Little warm-bl@@ded Highbl@@d..?” Basilisk murmured under her breath, a question for herself. Personal vendetta, was the best way to describe how she felt towards Subjuggulators and their ilk. They had wronged her in such a way that she could never again endure the sound of a ‘HONK’ or a choir of laughter. She could not even look upon the face of a typical indigo blood without flying into a frenzied RAGE, but when she looked at Shinii, she did not see a clown. To state the less obvious, she did not see a bumbling, satirical, tyrant of a troll. And that resonated with her more than she cared to admit— which was not at all.

Basilisk never had any intent to begin passing her judgments on Nagini’s new found ‘friends’ so quickly…. But for Shinii, so far it seemed he would be safe from any and all of the deadly serpent’s aggression in the future. One could only hope, at least.

Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:07:00 -0400

frostbittenprince:

His eyes widen when she sits on him, he looks up at her and found he was to scared to move. He hissed a little when he feels her sharp talons pierce into his shoulder a little, ignoring the purple blood welling up gently. But the touching, she was such a charmer, and a snake, so he assumed she was very good at it. A part of him demanded he fight her off, put her in her low blooded place. He could do it easily, all he’d have to do is focus and he could dominate her with a mear glance. Another part told him to relax, harming her was not the way to solve this problem. Something injured her, and she was lashing out.

“I HAve the frozen body of my own ancestor in the ice of my HIve, impaled on his own weapon. WHen the winds move through it just right I think I can hear his voice.” He looks away for a moment, swallowing carefully. Before returning his gaze back to the Baroness. “I HAve never been very good with traps…and if you really are the BAroness then you have my respects. I’Ve never met a true adult before.

He shifts again and the hint of a small silver chain can be seen around his neck.

Little did Shinii know. Should he choose to impose his dominance over her, this low blood would not lie down for him quietly like her descendant surely would. Nagini did not possess the fierce, unyielding spirit of her Ancestor. It was an acquired trait, to be sure. One gained from a sudden mental snap, a straw that quite frankly broke the proverbial camel’s back. A mental breakdown to end all mental breakdowns and grotesquely twist the very soul of this snake. As far as Basilisk was concerned, she was no one’s doormat… She was a god, and like one, she would crush whomever chose to stand in her way.

Basilisk looked at the highblood sideways, her interest piqued. “Iss that sss@? Are y@u ssaying…. that ssh@uld the ice ever melt…. Y@ur ancessst@r may very well return fr@m the dead?” She shifted her gaze from him thoughtfully, lifting her claws from his shoulder as she did so for a small sampling of his indigo blood. She didn’t seem to revel in the taste very much. “Asss it sstandss, highbl@@d, y@u sstill have n@t witnessssed a true adult, becausse thiss iss @bvi@ussssly n@t what I really l@@k like.” Basilisk smirked as she gazed upon him again, spying the brief glint of silver at his neck. She frowned and leaned in closer to him as if she were determined to keep this situation in a heightened state of awkward tension. Her only immediate interest was the chain around his neck.

She reached, carefully pushing aside the fabric of his shirt for a closer look. Perhaps it would be reassuring that she did not seek to deliberately scrape and scratch him with her talons every chance she got.

distemperedmegalomania:

Neither of them were ‘that young’, and indeed, Nagini wasn’t older than him. The fact that she would say something like that was a bit odd. The girl spoke as though she was a wise ancestor in her prime. “I ssee… Y@u are @f the ssincere ss@rt. Y@u jussst lack a certain am@unt @f… tact with y@ur w@rdssss. Hnhnhn.” She trailed off into a chuckle, taking note of this Sheazn character he continuously brings to attention. She’d save it to prod him for more information at a later time.

Nagini’s smile diminished with the Highblood’s question, but quickly returned twice as strong. This would surely prove to be interesting. “Hyp@thetically sspeaking… What if I t@ld y@u. That I am n@t… Nagini?” The snake eyed Shinii with an anticipating smile, lacing her fingers together beneath her own chin.

He purses his lips in thought as he stares at her for a long moment. “WHat do you mean? NOt NAgini?” The rest of the compliments, or half compliments went over his head at that thought. “BEcuase if you are a ghost I’m going to say right now I am not worth haunting…” He says quickly enough.

“IF YOu are not her…then who are you?” He asks finally, not entirely in the realm if disbelief. After all….he had a dead body in the middle of his hive that he was sure would come to life at any moment.

The snake troll burst into a brief cackle at his amusing words. “I am n@ gh@sssst..” She paused, thinking twice on the matter. “@r am I? Hnhnhnhnhn. Perhapsssss in a way. H@wever, I am very much alive at the m@ment.” Nagini, if she could still be considered the sweet girl, stood up with a seemingly wicked grin tarnishing those warm, black lips. Using her foot, she blatantly shoved Shinii over onto his side and very nicely parked herself right on top of him, going so far as to cross her legs. “I find it ssurprisssing h@w receptive y@u are t@ the idea…. Actually.. It’ss intriguing, that y@u w@uld aut@matically jump t@ the c@nclussssi@n that I w@uld be a sspirit if n@t little Nagini.” The young woman relaxed her back against the wall, eyeing Shinii down below with that grin ever present.

Nagini’s impostor calmly stroked a finger along Shinii’s arm, playing off of his obvious, desperate desires for a relationship of some sort. “What if I t@ld y@u…. I wasssss really the Deadly Bar@nesssss Bassilisssssk…Nagini’ss Ancesst@r? And that y@u’ve unwittingly led y@urssself int@ a p@tentially fatal ssssituati@n, ssh@uld my m@@d turn ssss@ur?” Her hand paused on Shinii’s shoulder and gave it a firm squeeze, nearly gouging her talons into his tough flesh. “Lucky f@r y@u…” She uttered, easing her grip. “… Y@u’ve transscended my expectati@nsss and have even filled me with a bit @f…. curi@sssssssity..” She wasn’t going to admit that he’d also managed to touch her, figuratively speaking, when he’d commented on her paintings.

He rumbles a little as she leaned in, her claw felt but ignored under his chin. He found his eyes locked with her visible one as his each word she hissed stabbed into his brain like tiny hot irons. Be bet she had a whole bunch of them in the fire, irons that is, all just cooking away.

“I AM NOt that young..” He tries to defend, he was only a few cycles away from true adulthood, during those times he would be collected and forced onto the ships with the others to conquer worlds so far away. Never to return home. “I DO HUnt, but I DIdn’t mean to imply that you or your kind are weak. I HAve known SHeazn for a long time, and I’Ve never won a fight against him.” He rubs the back of his neck a little in shame, the tips of his ears turning purple.

He leans in, so as to not be overheard by any spy or drone or what have you. “TEll me, Nagini, have you killed a HIghblood before?”

Neither of them were ‘that young’, and indeed, Nagini wasn’t older than him. The fact that she would say something like that was a bit odd. The girl spoke as though she was a wise ancestor in her prime. “I ssee… Y@u are @f the ssincere ss@rt. Y@u jussst lack a certain am@unt @f… tact with y@ur w@rdssss. Hnhnhn.” She trailed off into a chuckle, taking note of this Sheazn character he continuously brings to attention. She’d save it to prod him for more information at a later time.

Nagini’s smile diminished with the Highblood’s question, but quickly returned twice as strong. This would surely prove to be interesting. “Hyp@thetically sspeaking… What if I t@ld y@u. That I am n@t… Nagini?” The snake eyed Shinii with an anticipating smile, lacing her fingers together beneath her own chin.

frostbittenprince:

He was surprised to find out she hadn’t made it, a gift from a moirail? It must be nice to have one…his ran off. He sighed, but pushed himself up against the wall of her paintings, scanning over them slowly, fingers ever so gentle as he took in the feelings behind the strokes. She was a complicated little lowblood for sure, but then most lowbloods tended to be a bit on the odd side.

“DO YOu think I am soft for liking art so much that this painting hurts me a little?” He looks back at her, pointing to a particularly emotional one. Leaning down, a jumble of long legs pressed close to the wall. “YOu put so much into these, I LIke them alot. I FInd if I paint out what I’m feeling it helps me calm down. MAkes my calling less pronounced, do you think I’M SOft because I don’t want to cull lowbloods? I DOn’t see the sport in killing things that can’t fight back…”

The words of the Highblood actually took her by surprise. She stood there watching him very calmly, holding him in a silent, ponderous gaze. Shinii was turning out to be a very interesting case indeed, one particularly hard to define. After all, he had not entered her space brandishing a false sense of bravado, nor had he honked, cracked a joke, or blatantly belittled he in any way. He wasn’t at all what she had expected him to be, and to put it simply, she wasn’t quite sure what she was going to do with him as time progressed.

Nagini knelt down before him, her one visible eye between the parting of her bangs gazing upon Shinii with the small amount of softness someone such as herself could manage for a bloodline ‘she’ has long regarded as an enemy. “N@…” She uttered thoughtfully. “I think… y@u are ssssimply… different. Never have I enc@untered a tr@ll… Much lessss a Highbl@@D, quite like y@urssself. And ssss@ y@ung.. ” The snake hissed beneath her breath as she slipped a talon under Shinii’s chin. The distant tone in her voice indicating the presence of words that were thought but not said. “Y@u are sstill a hunter… are y@u n@t? Y@u sssseize the @pp@rtunity t@ bring that untamed, vi@lent nature t@ the sssurface, jussst…. n@t @n th@ssse wh@m y@u perceive asss being weaker than y@ursself.” Nagini chanced a grin in front of the huddled Highblood. “I d@ ssssensse balance, here… Gentle Giant. However… There iss @ne thing y@u need t@ undersstand.” Her eye was comfortably hooded by its lid as she gazed upon him with a curious air of smug confidence. “We may be handed the depreciating title of ‘low blood’, but that ssh@uld never be misssstaken f@r weaknessssss. Hnhnhnhn… Y@u will find.. that there are ss@me @f usss that when bitten… Will bite back. Jussst assss hard, if n@t twice.” Her voice dropped into a low whisper, as the snaked edged in closer to close out her point. “Never… Underessssstimate a grudge…”

He looks around impressed as they walk, trailing along behind her, he looks back down at the top of her head and curious horns. “I THink I am more of a HUnter, I DOn’t just kill them for sport.” He points out, even if he did enjoy it more then a Hunter should. The sound of their blood splashing the snow, sending up steam, painting the white colors. The crackling of it freezing in the cold air, he shudders and shakes his head. No, no such thoughts were bad for him.

He stops to stare at the statue finally however, blinking. “YOu sculpt? I AM MOre of a painter really.” Her hive was so much more alive then his….his was empty and cold. “YOu are rightm I don’t think your weak form would be able to handle the cold. SNakes have that disadvantage.” He points out helpfully. But he did like snakes!

Nagini deliberately smiled to herself while listening to him talk, his inner conflict like a pungent odor only she could detect. She paused at his reference to the statue, glancing to it over her shoulder with a blank stare. “N@. Asss I undersstand…. That wass a gift… ” She momentarily faltered on her words, picking back up smoothly to brush the slip off. “My m@irail made it f@r me… He isssss the ir@n w@rker. Livess in the v@lcanic m@untainsss. I ssimply paint… Assss y@u d@.” The snake girl shifted her gaze to a painting on the wall. One who is keen to detail might notice that there was something a little odd about certain works of hers. Some of them… looked like masterpieces of the macabre. But others were purely amateur depictions of light hearted scenes and aesthetic design. Some, still, were frustrated sketches. It was odd, to say the least. As though two people with different minds had painted in the same space.

Nagini switched her gaze back to Shinii, nearly missing his obvious tip midst the distraction of her thoughts. “Y@u’re t@@ kind…” She mused, her sentence not quite having that characteristic of ‘dripping with sarcasm’, but there was a bead of acrimony or two threatening to drop. “I walk the ssandsss… and I can sswim. But the ssn@w… isssss a m@ssst ir@nic and unpleassant burn. Frigid and issss@lating. It’ss n@t a place that I w@uld venture t@…. Lesssst I had g@@d c@verage in my p@ssssessssi@n, hnhnhnhn, and I d@ n@t.”

He stared blankly at the others lusus for a moment before finally sharing a glance with his own, concern on his face for the first time in while. Shinii wasn’t to stupid usually, usually he was pretty clever, but he was in a hurry and in a habit to save himself he blundered into things with out thinking. But the odd behavior of the snaketrolls lusus caught his attention. However it wasn’t enough to scare him off or really change much of anything except tighten his jaw.

“THose things? THey are no challenge, I have giants in the TUndra, standing at 20 feet tall.” He boasts, talking about the huge monsters that surrounded his own hive. “PErhaps I will show you my home next, after I explore your own. BUt I do love a good hunt…” He shivers a little at the thought of it. But his attention snaps back to her, his yellow eyes intensely staring back into her own, the centers glowing a soft purple for a moment. “BUt I paint too.”

There was a brief gleam in the female’s eye, her grin glinting in the low light of the hive. “Giantsss… y@u ssay… I’ve beheaded @ne ssuch creature bef@re… @r at leasssst. The cl@ssesst thing t@ the brutisssh beasssstsss.” Nagini turned from Shinii with a confident smirk. “I w@uldn’t fair well in ssuch a fr@zen climate.. If I c@uld… I w@uld dem@nsstrate f@r y@u jusst h@w danger@ussss I think giantsss are.” She gave a light cackle, moving on through the structure of her hive towards a spiral staircase leading up. “Ss@… Y@u’re a killer… but y@u alss@ enj@y artisstic purssuitssss. I musst ssay. Ss@ far, y@u sseem like a Highbl@@d with impeccable tasstess. But that’ss jusst a ssurface reading.”

At the top of the staircase was an open circular loft with the same oriental decorations of drapes, statuettes, and pillow piles. There was one unique feature to the area, however. It was a large iron statue of two snakes coiled about each other, one of them having horns. It didn’t have the blatantly obvious appearance of snakes, being made from pieces of iron scrap, but it was still a fine piece of art. Nagini would at least defend that.

frostbittenprince:

He sits up and chuckles. “OH YEah? WEll you are still as physcially appealing as before. DEspite the wasteland you live in.” He sat there for a moment as she walked off with the glass and then looked over at the Lusus hiss back at it and showing his teeth a little as he gets to his feet. “HEllo.” He says to the lusus and bows politely. “IT IS A PLeasure to meet you.”

He looks around the hive now, his long black shirt had coat tails alot like his jacket that hung down around his legs and the sleeves were long and tight, allowing his fingers to poke through alot like fingerless gloves. He rubs at his nose. “SO WHat do you do for around here? NO SWimming, or skying, or mountain climbing. PErhaps hunting? OR…SAnd skying?” He was reaching.

Snake Dad— Or rather Equallibrius, began shaking his head and waving two of his hands at Shinii in warning. The custodian was trying to ALERT him of something, if he only took a moment out of his overall schedule of being completely DENSE, he might actually realize this. There wasn’t much else the lusus could do to try to warn the Highblood to stay on his toes around here.—

“Ugly Duckling….” The custodian’s shenanigans were cut off by her sharp tone. “What are y@u d@ing….?” Nagini stood behind the armored serpent, giving him a narrow, critical stare. He looked to her with his tongue slowly sagging out of his mouth before hastily gliding away to avoid her possible aggression. The brief stand-off left a trace of tension in the air that she quickly dispelled with a toothy smile. “D@n’t mind him…… He likesssss t@ play. Assss f@r mysself… I’m ssure y@u’ve already learned @f the dangerssss @f thesse wasstess. The undead that r@am ab@ut during the day… and the h@@fbeastsss that gall@p the ssandssss at night. B@th are my ssp@rt when I find mysself in a sstate @f b@red@m. H@wever… I alss@ take time @ut @f my day t@… create art thr@ugh painting.”

frostbittenprince:

His lusus growls at her, his hackles raised as he stays near Shinii. Out of his huge Parka, Nagini can see how thin he is. His black shirt held a sideways 8 on it, the infinity symbol, written in deep purple. He takes a few deep breaths when she returns with something to drink upon her return and he downs it as he lays there. Pushing up his goggles to grin up at her.

“AH SOrry…” He sits up slowly, shaking more dust from his black hair. “YOu revived me, I AM GRateful.”

She took the glass from him and folded her arms. “Well I wassn’t g@ing t@ all@w y@u t@ die @n my fl@@r…. I’d hate t@ have t@ eat ssssssuch a pretty face.” The sarcasm to her tone was very subtle there. “Asss well asss clean up the likely messsss…. Y@ur c@at iss in the @ther r@@m, and I musssst ssay; I did n@t expect y@u t@ be sssss@… sskinny.” She parted from him again to get rid of the glass.

In her absence, Nagini’s lusus slowly peered at their guests from around the corner. The alabaster beast was rather strange looking… It had the appearance of a horned, armor-plated serpent without eyes, but by the looks of it, an abundance of arms; most likely six. The thorny serpent approached Shinii and hissed at him low, like a nervous whisper, the custodian pausing to peer over its shoulder tellingly.
