MAEA
It seemed she had caught the attention of the big snake. Maea sat up straight, eyes widening slightly as it uncoiled and came slithering towards her, tongue flickering in the air, lapping up aromas of smoke and drink like it was a feast. It was a sentiment the girl could appreciate. she hesitated a moment, then carefully reached out a hand again.
"If you bite me, I'll have to return the favor," she told the animal with a half smile, "and that will get messy. So if you mind being touched, please just... hiss, or something. I can handle a no."
Pale fingers were cautious as they tried to touch the pale hide, the shifting scales, feel the warm and smooth skin against hers. How anyone could think snakes to be slippery or frightening was beyond her. They were beautiful, dangerous and full of integrity; truth be told, she was far more wary of the humans that mingled around them than this quiet, dignified animal. Their tongues might be forked, but snakes did not lie.
