[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Nathan's completely oblivious to that.  Next, he holds up a hand (cradling Orthros with one arm now, still trying to keep him as close as possible), as if he was going to give Aspis a good stroke/scratch, but he doesn't actually touch her yet.  He's also looking directly at Aspis's eyes as he voices his question to her...

"...may I?  I know I've said some harsh things before, but...I do want to properly thank you for your help...food only goes so far..."

Nathan's keeping his voice low, both out of a (lessened) lack of self confidence and so as not to disturb those around the old man and the old man himself.  Ventus would have a difficult time hearing it.

He's kinda hoping Aspis lets him touch her, help her relax a little.  He...has to prove something to himself...

Kirlia's now anxiously watching Nathan and Aspis instead of Ventus...hmmm...

*This Scene happened before Heart Went Over*

If the colossal python had eyebrows, they would certainly be raised as she watched Nathan and outstretch hand, and listened to his hesitant words. Oh? So Nathan wants to lay hands on her now, after he repeatidly offended her and master so? After all the heartache her master suffer because of his stubborn, bullheadness? That look in his eyes.....the boy's trying to prove something too, is he now? *Hiiiissss.....*

Well, if Nathan wanted her approval, the opportunity to achieve some nebulous, personal goal, then he could have it.....

Apsis pinned the boy with a stare, before they slowly, carefully (and non threatenly) opened their maw, revealing her two long, glistering fangs . She then gave the boy a knowing Look laddened with meaning, and flicked her tongue over one of them.

The message was clear: if the boy want to touch her, then the first place he'd have to start is with her nice, occasionally deadly fangs. The question now is, would he? For creatures with eyebrows, both of Ventus were both raised up to his hairline, and he tensed, ready to intervene if necessary. This.....was something he didn't expect out of his regal, beautiful monster of a snake....
