“Room mate?” That didn’t sound good. If whatever her roommate was could be expected to tear apart buildings then it did not sound like he wanted to meet it. Especially if this was a similar situation to what he used to do, lurking around something more dangerous as a layer of protections.
He watches her look up at the ceiling and did the same. He definitely didn’t think he would be welcome up there. Everything above them had a distinct aura of a place creatures like him should not be. If it had an actual guardian he did not want to meet it. His kind were never Basilisks were not, as a rule, invited anywhere.
So now he had something of a time limit, to get out before the being that probably actually owned the basement found him and punished him for intruding. He sighed. He hoped the human had some kind of other plan, because he certainly didn’t like the options so far.
And was she really just human? She smelled more interesting, but it seemed like she spent a lot of time with other things. Maybe she was picking things up from them.
“It’s from greek,” he told her, imperiously. He had only heard about greece, and the word for his kind was the only bit he knew. Still he liked the sound of it, the way it rolled around his mouth. “I am king because I am the best at snake things. Like being very poisonous.”
This was meant to be a little reminder that he was dangerous, and had no reason to be frightened of her. Even though he was, and it was a lie. His theoretical brothers and sisters did not need to be venomous. They could kill anything they wanted without anything like that.
“I am not scared of the rats,” he assured her. “I just don’t like them.”
