Ey was curious. That was a good thing. Or that was what he kept telling himself when talons containing paralytic venom were poised in front of his sister’s neck. Leon’s carefully manufactured facade of indifference was under serious threat of breaking as he watched this Grilka come way too close to his sister with that claw. He only visibly relaxed once ey began touching her with a knuckle instead, funny enough.
Hah, he’s thinking of you as a pet already.
There was nothing like the threat of an ongoing near-death experience to encourage cracking fun at your other half.
Heh, well, that is why I wear that. I didn’t think it would go for the bait so fast. Think it likes me?
He contemplated that one for a moment, watching the Krotazi watch them. Ey certainly seemed interested so far, but he didn’t know enough about eir eccentricities to make a solid judgement call. Ah, well. Always better err on the side of overkill. They were supposed to be desperate, after all.
We’re getting there. I think he’s amused so far, you better step it up a notch.
Can do, brother.
Meanwhile, the actual conversation was still going on around them. Leon’s hands twitched.
Defective. He could practically hear the word ringing in the air, circling Noel’s head. Quickly, he signaled out some silent laughter before completely bulldozing over whatever anger might be brewing by doing what brothers do best.
Making fun of his sister.
He has no idea. Just imagine if I told him about how we nearly got caught escaping the damn planet just because you couldn’t choose exactly the right pair of tights.
That is SO not how it happened!
‘But WAIT I found fishnets!!!’
They were silk!!!!
Years of careful planning and it was nearly blown for a couple threads of silk.
I didn’t want to leave them anything nice. Assholes.
Crisis averted for now (because was going to surely hear about this later), Leon decided it was time to make sure proper attention was being paid to how they were slowly being circled. There was something almost hypnotic, in a inevitable horror sort of way, about watching Grilka’s coils surround them. All too aware that they had absolutely no control over whether or not they made it out of this situation intact, the only course of action left was to joke about it until hopefully everything turned out okay. That was the plan, at least.
Chances of being eaten have suddenly increased.
No, wait, I have an idea. Come here, give me a handstand lift onto it.
He went to her without hesitation. To an unobservant outsider, it might have seemed as if he went automatically without any prompting. Leon positioned himself for her with practiced ease, expression unchanging no matter what she meant to do.
