If he wasn't going to be hostile, then she had no reason to be either, after all. [color=598527]"Just stay quiet. I'm trying something here. Go make sure that pixie doesn't get into trouble, though. He hasn't eaten anything in awhile."[/color] Turning her attention back to the lizard, Ash carefully approached. It was easy to note the scars and battle marks on it. Probably had taken a beating at some point, but they had already healed over so it had likely been awhile. Long enough to heal, anyways. How should she go about this? She really had no clue how to even begin. Well, she had some ideas - animals respected strength, right? Since it didn't seem overly hostile now perhaps she could...'talk' to it in a more normal sense? They were both lizards, and it wouldn't be her first time sending vague instructions or intent to others. [color=598527]"Hello..."[/color] She began slowly, trying to use her Charisma skill here in perhaps a way the Lizard would understand. She hadn't yet deactivated the Overwork skill, despite her body's obviously growing fatigue. She wanted to appear as non-threatening as possible for this little maneuver. What was that...speak softly but carry a big stick? Something like that by some president. She was certain she could handle this single lizard and subdue him if he was violent, but peaceful solutions to this were always preferable. [color=598527]"I give you two options, lizard."[/color] She wasn't sure if it could even understand her, but hopefully her intent would get through to it through her body language. She sat idly on the ground just a few feet from it, hoping none of the others interfered. Her eyes glanced over the scars and collar around the lizards neck before focusing on it again. [color=598527]"Join me and never be captured like that again - or stay by yourself and die."[/color] She was ready to defend herself and any of the others if need be, but she hoped it wouldn't come to that.
