Her green dinner plate eyes grow wider as she watches the pup go into panic mode. His words sound scared, she felt almost BAD for him...seemingly impossible yes? The day the cat and dog do not quarrel. But as Naga watches, she hears Smother speak. Her eyes begin to blaze as the snake spits darkness from her lips into the pups obviously troubled mind. She knows this isn't right.
Of course, as she sees the pup shift, her eyes grew wider. A mint and teal horse? Curiouser and curiouser indeed. She is debating whether or not to shift into her equine form or not now that he is this uncomfortable. But, there was Smother alone now, her albino counterpart no longer in her sights...her words kept spewing, like poison. She realizes that it was not her bite that was venomous, it was her words. This was cruel, and she knew what smother made her think of now....
Her mother.
Naga felt her fur bristling now, a low rumble grew in her throat. She was not a fan of dogs by any means...but this...this was something her mother would have done...and she was not going to sit back and watch. The large cat slinked slowly in between Smother and Lupei, her green eyes blazing ever so intensely with annoyance. Her voice was borderline yelling now. She can smell something very faintly familiar on the snake...that thick pine scent...the Valley. She knew it. Her mother had that scent, she could never forget that scent..
"I dont understand, I just cannot understand. Why do you get such enjoyment out of tormenting those with already tormented minds? It's sickening. You remind me of my mother. Why are you even here, why do you want to prod at him so persistently! You must have a pretty miserable life if doing this is the most entertaining thing you could be doing right now!"
Her tail is lashing back and forth violently, her burning glare locked onto the earth-toned snake. She waits a moment to let that sink in, then starts again.
"So, SNAKE...slither on back to your viper den....leave him be. Go find some other unfortunate creature to feed off of."
She glares a moment more, trying to make sure her green gaze will always be remembered by the snake girl. Then she turns her head to the pup.
"Are you going to be ok? Don't cower like that, get up, stand proud. I sure as hell am no spy nor has anyone sent me to "get you". I just saw a most curious scene and had to let myself in. But I believe I have let myself in too deep. No going back now right, Pup?"
She turns her head back to smother, her bones begin to morph and bend painfully as she shifts to her equine form. Her black compact body stood in a ready stance, in case Smother would decide to bite at her. Her ears flickered back and forth, listening, waiting...who would move first, or would all be still...
