The look on Aryx's face does wonders for settling Viltez's nerves, but he remains motionless and listens carefully to his voice. During the small silence where the stranger stares at his shoulder he shifts ever so slightly in the shadows. [i]'Well, at least he finds it interesting and not frightening'[/i] He swallows hard, chewing his tongue for a moment even though Aryx seems to accept this obviously bizarre revelation that his host has a fifth appendage. However a faint smile makes it's way to his lips when the man begins asking questions. Question he now can answer fully, and honestly. He nods his head, moving out of the shadows. His tail quiver, unhooking from his shoulder to wriggle back and forth behind him like a snake traveling through water. “Yeah, I wrap it around my waist. For a long time it was very uncomfortable, but now it's lost most of the discomfort and is just,” Suddenly his tail cracks a few times and he giggles slightly. “It just gets stiff now and I need to work it a bit before trying to sleep or anything.” Eyes wide Viltez sit down in front of the table and pulls his tea to him to take a sip. “So, you could tell? Something about your shrine and family or something? Are you mystical or something? I bet having a family like yours must be amazing.” His voice trails off and he glances down to his cup. “I mean, I'm not all that interesting. I'm just a half breed who was dumped here by my father as a child and has grown up hiding what I really am from all the people I cave come to care about outside my family, which I'm not even sure it still alive. . .” With a sight he looks back up at Aryx his eyes wide and questioning. Deep inside he can feel a warmth setting in that has nothing to do with the fire at his back. [i]'He hasn't really even bat an eye at this. It makes me happy in a way I have never felt before. Being myself around someone. . .It feels so strange, and I know I should try and curb this feeling. He's not going to be around forever after all, but I just can't help letting my little rays of light flicker and dance in my heart'[/i]
