[CLEO R. C.]

CLEO ROUX-CIPHER

Cleo's idea of a welcome was skewed and misaligned- the greeting more so offered for her own benefit, not anybody else's. She wasn't a very trusting individual, nor had she ever been one to exactly hide that aspect of herself. Even her own family was subjected to suspicious glares and withheld information, the child's only true confidants being her snakes. They would never betray her trust, she was certain of it, and thus they knew next to everything about her. The welcome she was preparing to extend to Bakugou would be enough for her and the clanmates of hers that were present, but not anybody else. A name uttered in that wispy voice of hers, a devilish smile, and maybe even an acknowledgement from Eshe.

But that last part was uncertain, especially given the fact that the black mamba seemed more preoccupied with coiling around her frame.

She waited though, knowing that this stranger could also be many things aside from a joiner. Her words would come after he spoke then, her cinnamon colored ears already straining to catch whatever he might say. As per usual, she had missed Argus's inquiry, having arrived to the left of the canine. Her hearing difficulties were incredibly hard to deal with but Cleo, ever the stubborn and prideful individual, refused to succumb to an endless cycle of asking people to repeat themselves. No, she'd rather make unexplainable blunders in her responses than see that outcome.
