DAUGHTER OF THE RAIN AND SNOW / open, new "friend"

[Nayru]

The alligator only appeared ecstatic to be in the limelight, relishing in the attention given to it by Nayru's fast approaching clanmates and vocalizing its joy with little hisses. The medic, on the other hand, looked as if she'd rather be anywhere else, distress written plainly across her features. [b][color=#6b7e99]"We're not friends," She informed quietly, once more trying her hand to shoo the thing away. It only hissed giddily in response. [color=#6b7e99]"Why is it so interested in me? Does it think I'm food? Does it think I'm its mother?" She wasn't ready to be a mom- not yet and especially not to a tiny reptile that would eventually be able to swallow her whole.

Nayru was grateful for Zimavich's arrival, a sigh of relief falling from parted lips as the bear occupied her "new friend" with a staring contest. The gator seemed especially set on winning which was good- Zima would put up an excellent fight and hopefully give them time to address the severity of the situation. At Iota's words, the goddess's heart would sink, the frown already present upon her features contorting them more now. [color=#6b7e99]"It likes me... that much is obvious. I wouldn't mind raising," She paused, then shuddered, [color=#6b7e99]"Correction: I wouldn't mind caring for it if I knew it wouldn't be a danger... In fact, it'd be an excellent specimen to study so we truly understand alligator behavior. I just... I don't know."

Morgan seemed to have the best idea of all of them and Nayru would nod in agreement at its words. [color=#6b7e99]"Maybe we can train it? Can alligators be trained?"
