CLEO ROUX-CIPHER
Consider them a pair of oddities then, the tiny girl barefooted and quiet as she crouched beside the bodies with detached interest, an arm extending until fingers delicately pressed against the floor and permitted Eshe access to her sister's playthings. She watched as the mamba detached herself from her arm, a hiss of approval upon being granted a meal ringing in the air. And then there an awkward silence as Cleo watched her snake ingest each and every one of the rats, only rising to look at Aita - Jay - after the snake had once again returned to her arm, coiling tightly around it. [color=#445544]"I hope you didn't want those," The child supplied easily, striding forward and lifting herself up until she, too, was sitting besides them upon the table. She'd kick the vacant air a few times, legs swinging back and forth randomly, toes flexing in the faint breeze she generated. [color=#445544]"Did Daddy hire you as pest control?"
A tiny laugh fell from Cleo at that one, the little girl so obviously endeared by her own, pathetic joke (which wasn't really a joke at all). She'd lift a hand to absently brush loose curls out of her face, bright red eyes traveling over the weapon Jay wielded so easily to kill the rats. [color=#445544]"Who taught you had to use that?" She inquired lightly, now stroking Eshe's head delicately. The snake was still hungry - she could feel it - and Cleo half considered asking Jay to shoot down a few more rodents so that her mamba would not resort to less civil means of obtaining food. [color=#445544]"Will you teach me?" Cleo inquired suddenly, eyes brightening, a pair of hands bracing her against the table as she leaned forward eagerly. Eshe curled tightly around her arm- a warning. The snake had never been particularly fond of her companion learning skills from anyone but her. [color=#445544]"I want to learn! I promise I'll listen!" She insisted a bit uncharacteristically, now reaching for the weapon.
[color=#445544]"Pleaaasssseeeee."
