[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Apsis gave the boy a deadpan stare at his first question, as her focusing on him to the exclusion of all else should have made it dead obvious to him before this point, before she rolled her eyes and nodded her head. The giant snake then craned her head down to carefully pick up the plate of food Nathan set down for her, placed it right back down on his lap, and gave him a firm stare + *Hiisss.....*. While whatever that was smelled good, she was still pretty full from eating those Ninjack that she could do without this morsol, and make sure that the young one got his fill. He couldn't grow up to be a strong male human if he didn't finish his dinner after all, *Hiisss!*

She then coiled up right beside him, and just let herself relax in his presence. If he wanted to speak with her about anything, it would be pretty easy to start up a conversation.

...and now she was doing Kirlia's job in his absence...

...yup, this is VERY weird...but also weirdly comforting.  Nathan sits there, eats his food, scratches one of Aspis's sweet spots for awhile.

...which actually causes Orthros to react in an...interesting way.

Well, if Nathan's fine with this snake being around...she can't be ALL bad, right?

Orthros nudges her to get her attention, nudges a little food her way, and then sits down next to Nathan again.  Nathan's not sure how to react to that at first...

(Well, I guess if Aspis wants a friend, maybe she'll find an unexpected one here?  That would be an interesting turn of events, no?)
