The dice had been rolled, now they had to play carefully with the hands they were dealt. Ey seemed perfectly willing to listen, but their interactions thus far didn’t make Leon inclined to trust whatever ey let them see. This was a game they played and practiced well, but all of that self-imposed training seemed inadequate when faced with an opponent that was 60-feet long and massive. The only thing to do was to bulldoze through the discomfort and act like this was any other dance they did.
Now we’re getting down to business. Finally.
It didn’t even take that long; it just felt that way because tentacles became involved.
He couldn’t let himself smile fully, but his eyes danced with amusement he wasn’t entirely feeling. Perhaps amusement wasn’t the right word, it was more like relief. Relief that the situation was moving forward and it was becoming easier to forget the tentacles in the room when they could focus on business instead.
I have an important update.
That wasn’t ominous.
Which is?
It has figured out how pants work.
Okay, so maybe he’d spoken too soon.
I’ll bite.
So will I, if it figures out underwear next.
He’d have to keep it in mind that, when dealing with a 60-foot snake alien, one must always expect the tentacles to play a role in any negotiation strategies.
Leon watched as Grilka’s body rolled under his sister, her bell chiming again. Ah, and now he was being directly addressed. That was unexpected, but he didn’t let any of that show on his face as he contemplated his options while rapidly signaling to his sister.
Fuck no.
It would be rude to ignore em and just have Noel answer for him. Plus, he didn’t want to give off the impression that he was dumb. But there was no fucking way he was climbing up onto those coils to be bounced and groped alongside Noel. One of them had to keep a step back to see this situation from a different perspective.
I’ve got you. Be polite, say something about how jealous I get about sharing the spotlight.
Affecting a quick quirk of the lips that could be interpreted as a smile, Leon gracefully moved into a slight bow as if he hadn’t been standing still and silent for the entire conversation thus far. “I’m afraid I’ll have to decline.” He said with a note of regret. “Noel can get… jealous if she feels the attention is too divided.”
