[Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VI: Wait, there used to be a Ribbajack here?

[Lady Serpentine]

Savorla frowns, looking a bit concerned for her.

"Is something wrong?"

[Beans]

I don't hang out with people often...

[Lady Serpentine]

"Ah. Would you prefer someplace more private, then? Or is it just that you're with me that's making you nervous?"

[Beans]

I-I mean it's not your fault!
Just... I'm not used to hanging out just in general...

[Lady Serpentine]

Savorla smiles reassuringly, squeezing her hand again.

"I know. I didn't mean it like that, I was just wondering if you'd be more comfortable where there were fewer people, or if it was just that there was a person with you that was making you nervous.

And try to relax, okay? I'm not going to bite your head off or anything, I promise."

[Beans]

P-probably the second one...

[Lady Serpentine]

"Alright. Is there anything I can do to help make you more comfortable, then?"

[Beans]

Talk some more maybe?
I-I like listening...

[Lady Serpentine]

"Works for me...
What do you want to hear about?"

[Beans]

... Anything at all, really... anything you wanna talk about.

[Lady Serpentine]

"Well, I could go with my creation, if you're in the mood for a horror story..."

[Beans]

She shrugs and nods, rubbing her top left eye a little.

[Lady Serpentine]

Savorla explains, from the point where Belithia dragged Xulos off into the Void.

[Beans]

Um, oh.
W-wow, that's.
Y-yeah.
She's a little taken aback.

[Lady Serpentine]

"Weird? Creepy? Insane?", Savorla offers, smiling at her. "Or were you thinking all of the above?"

[Beans]

... Yeah... and it seems like a pretty unpleasant beginning for someone so nice.

[Lady Serpentine]

Savvy grins, looking quite pleased by the compliment.

"I'm glad you find my company enjoyable. And I admit, I am a bit of a contrast to my parents, hence my current line of work."

[Beans]

She smiles nervously and deadtimes.

[Lady Serpentine]

Savorla smiles back, and probably ends up scooting a bit close to Cheisha while the other goddess is deadtimed.

[Zefir]

Fade keeps standing behind the bar cleaning glasses and other barboy stuff.

"They could just bring her back." he whispers to himself.

[Beans]

Savorla smiles back, and probably ends up scooting a bit close to Cheisha while the other goddess is deadtimed.

So, uh... how long ago was all that?

[Lady Serpentine]

So, uh... how long ago was all that?

"Around... Five years ago, I think?"

[Beans]

So you're chronologically only 5 years old?

[Lady Serpentine]

"That depends... Five years of personal time experienced, maybe, though my mother makes that hard to tell, but chronologically, I time in the mortal realm passed oddly in some of the places I've been."

[Beans]

Oh, I see... that's kinda cool!

[Lady Serpentine]

Savorla smiles, going to hug her, though she gives the other goddess plenty of time to prevent her from doing so if she wants to.

"Thanks!
Do you mind telling me about your past and such now?"

[Beans]

Awkward but okay hug!
Well... I grew up in the desert under the care of local spirits... nothing much happened then until college, which is when I met, fell for, dated, and got dumped by Carrie.

[Lady Serpentine]

Savorla smiles, resting her head on Cheisha's shoulder. "Sounds like a nice life, if a little lonely, depending on what the spirits were like..."

[Beans]

Now she seems a little bit uncomfortable with the hug, but keeps quiet and just nods.

[Lady Serpentine]

Savorla seems a bit embarrassed about making her friend uncomfortable, and backs off, releasing the hug if that's what it takes to make her feel better, though she'd prefer to just be a bit less snuggly about it.
