Grilka had none of Kreska's trouble getting the door open, because the door and its lock had been designed with Krotazi fingers – and tentacles – in mind. Kreska's displeasure at eir arrival was ignored, as her displeasure always was, making eir way inside as if ey owned the place.
Because ey did.
The first thing ey caught sight of was Kreska, her jeans not quite high enough and her shirt still tied into its impromptu tube top. "Am I interrupting something?" ey asked, sounding quite pleased by the prospect, all sibilance and clicking teeth. Ey did not wait for an answer to eir question, still moving to bring the full length of eir tail into the room. There was something very deliberately ominous about the way ey shut the door behind em, letting it lock itself again.
"Fuck off," Kreska said again, and ey clicked eir teeth in disapproval. Ey actually had interrupted, but certainly not what ey was insinuating. Fate probably ought to have been grateful for the new target for her ire. Sascha, however, was lacking explanations that might have made the situation slightly less… terrifying.
Slightly.
"Ungrateful little bitch, anyway," ey said, descending on her to hook a talon in the loop of her jeans and pull her closer. "Taking advantage of my hospitality." Talons framed her face, even though she wasn't the sort to go averting her gaze; it still looked dangerous. "You're lucky I'm so nice." Eir tail had slowly been moving closer, not quite looping around her.
"You're a saint," Kreska said flatly.
"Yes," Grilka agreed, as if ey did not understand sarcasm. Ey darted both tongues toward her face, and yet another of eir four hands went to her wrist to lift her hand and get a better look at it. Ey cocked eir head to the side, the delicate chains draped along eir horns dangling as they did so. "You look like shit," ey informed her.
"Thanks," Kreska said. "Y'wanna lemme go, now?"
"No," Grilka said. Tendrils emerged from the mass of eir tail, picking her up off the ground to set her atop it as eir hands left her person. "I don't trust you, now," ey said, sounding quite put-out. "You were supposed to be with the Lawyer, little Captain's Daughter."
"I had shit t'do," she said, crossing arms and legs both and refusing to look offput by her precarious position.
"You must be very tired," ey said, "to go through all this trouble."
"M'fine," she muttered.
Grilka's attention was drawn elsewhere, darting tongues in the direction of Sascha. "Oh – but you brought a girl. Is she pretty?" Immediately ey was moving closer to investigate, but Kreska interrupted with a kick to eir tail. It didn't hurt, but ey hissed at her in rebuke, tendrils seeming to burst forth from where she'd kicked to wrap around her leg and restrain it.
"Leave her 'lone," Kreska said. "She's… anxious."
Tongues darted at Kreska. "Liar."
"She's with me, a'ight? S'gonna look bad, I letcha scare th'shit outta her."
"Oh, but I'm not scary," Grilka said, as if this were self-evident. Ey began to move again toward the human, a mere ten feet off the ground as a conciliatory measure. This, clearly, was the best way to look unintimidating. "I'm very friendly."
Kreska spared a glance toward the hole in the ceiling. If Grilka had noticed it, ey hadn't said anything. Her tablet was on the ground, and while she still had her earpiece, it wasn't as if she had any way of saying something without drawing attention to Fate's 'presence'. Best to deal with one crisis at a time.
"Were they here for her, the ones outside? I didn't care for them. Gamey."
"Y'know y'can't eat people'n self-defense, right?"
"They threw themselves on my talons," Grilka said airily, as if ey had not moments before been threatening Kreska with the very same paralytic venom. "I tried to warn them. Does she belong to anyone? She's very expensive, if they were for her."
Because ey did.
