Jiao did not mind flattery, no matter how thick. Not enough people gave it to her, she thought. Already Loren was becoming cemented in her head as one of the good humans. "I'm Jiao. You weren't there when the annoying guy told us about pens, right?" She didn't seem to remember having seen him before, so he probably wasn't related. "He had stubble and hair about this long--" She motioned around her neck.
She too smiled at the Luxere. They really were lovely, some of the forest's best creatures. She appreciated an animal that looked great and the glowing was fantastic. Jiao had often tried to capture it herself in a dress (not with the actual fur of the animal, of course) and had always failed.
Snorting at the idea that she could have the Blight, Jiao shook her head. "No, of course not. The humans started it. I don't talk to that many humans." She fixed him with a look meant to stress just how lucky he was to be having her attention. "I heard that being rude can be a symptom of it, so you might want to look out."
"Are you one of the weird ones with the teeth? Or the animal ones?" Truthfully she was a little jealous of those. "Or the....bad ones that the Gods don't like?"
JIAO
Even if I'll end up in shatters
Baby it doesn't matter
