The world around the Yuan Ti seemed to come to a pause as the bits of peach slopped down from the point of contact along with the fruit’s sweet, sticky juices. The edges of the shifter’s lips turned upward, feeling satisfaction instead of panic for her actions. [color=peru][i]I hit her! First try, no balancing, no warm-up… Just skill. Just fucking skill![/i][/color] Minerva had thrown plenty of things at plenty of people’s heads, but a peach was a first. If peaches could kill, she might have considered stocking up with the ones that had buried her. She’d have to write this in the journal! There was no way she could omit the feat! She was sure Wendel, Nyssa, and Eleanor would disapprove of such actions, but the most they could do was scribble bold words on paper. Darius would get a good laugh, Miris would chuckle, Malik and Skar wouldn’t react, but she just knew they’d be impressed, and Vrexen… he’d never read it. Minerva was almost beaming with pride when Meiyu finally turned to face her, and slowly, regret began to creep into her. Not the kind of regret that was settled with a spoken apology or a dusting off of a shoulder. No! This was the type of regret that made you replay the moment of your mistake. The type of regret that kept you up at odd hours of the night. The type of regret that made you wish you had some access to time travel so you could undo your mistake. A chill ran down her spine as the woman approached, and the realization of her mistake left her mouth slightly agape. When Meiyu touched her cheek, Minerva stood there, frozen by the cocktail of negativity that stirred within her. Even if the shifter had her wits about her, she would not have shied away from such a gentle touch. [color=peru][i]What have you done, Minerva?[/i][/color] [color=7DBC89]“Where I come from, kittens that tease serpents don’t get nine lives.”[/color] [color=peru][i]How the hell do I get the gold now?[/i][/color] When Meiyu leaned in, closing the distance between their faces, Minerva blinked a few times before she slightly crossed her eyes. Her intrusive thoughts told her she should just kiss her and hopefully fix the ruined rapport, but Minerva mentally batted them away as she didn’t want to seem too easy. She had the high ground after all. [color=7DBC89]“They don’t even get a second breath.”[/color] [color=peru][i]I’m not gonna kiss her. I’m not gonna kiss her. I’m not gonna kiss her. What is she even talking about? Focus, Minerva! You have to kiss her! No! I’m not gonna kiss her! I’m not gonna kiss her! I’m not gonna kiss her![/i][/color] [color=7DBC89]“You like startling people? That's your little thrill? Hm.”[/color] [color=peru][i]I’m not gonna kiss her. I’m not gonna kiss her. I’m not gonna kiss her. I’m not gonna kiss her. I’m not gonna kiss her.[/i][/color] [color=7DBC89]“I could teach you what it feels like to truly fear something. To be hunted in your own skin. To look in a mirror and not know which part of you belongs to you anymore.”[/color] [color=peru][i]I’m not gonna- What?[/i][/color] Minerva’s eyes narrowed as she began to catch the words coming from Meiyu’s mouth. The mention of fear and hunting successfully grabbed her attention. She had assumed the woman was throwing insults of some kind and maybe some minor threats she wouldn’t have cared to believe were true, but what the serpent had uttered took her away from her distracting thoughts. Her fingers flexed, as if her sharpened nails were hungry for something soft to pierce into. [color=7DBC89]“You’d do well not to confuse mercy with disinterest, mischievous little kitten. Because I promise you– I am the wrong serpent to swat at when you’re bored.”[/color] [color=peru]“You’re fucking weird, you know that. It was [i]peach[/i]! Tch! I don’t see you giving some weird, wise-old-sage speeches to the airship that banged you up. Just move out of the way next time… orrr pay what you owe Wendel.”[/color] Meiyu had already been walking away, making Minerva feel like she had been talking to the wind by the end of her retort. [color=peru]“Damn it—the gold. The damn gold.”[/color] She muttered through her teeth. Minerva made a mental note of the Yuan Ti, not wanting her tiny coin purse to get away out of sheer stubbornness. For now, she’d let the woman go off and be her peachy self. [color=peru]“Hmm.”[/color] Her eyes scanned the airship for familiar faces. First, she spotted the tiefling woman crying, her hands covering her face while clutching her eagle companion. [color=peru][i]This one asked about Wendel… Hmm… Very pretty too… How many women did he speak to on this ship? I should say something. Yeah.[/i][/color] [color=peru]“Hey, you!”[/color] She pointed at Arya with a fierce look about her. [color=peru]“Eagle Hugger! Quit crying! We beat the crash, and that means you get to see a few more days before the pirates get us. Now, what would Wendel think, seeing you like this?!”[/color] She chastised before her eyes darted toward Menzai and Phia, but mostly toward Menzai. [color=peru]“MENZAI!”[/color] Her voice raised much louder now, as if she was summoning him from another realm to her side. She didn’t say anything else at first, and merely stared at him to make sure he knew she was calling him. [color=peru]“Where is the women’s restroom?”[/color] She then looked at Phia, her demeanor instantly softening to something much more friendly. [color=peru]“Hi!”[/color] She said with a rapid wave and a toothy smile. [/Color]
