HEY JUICY / moving

[Simon F.M.]

Take what you need while there's time
The city will be earth in a short while
If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames
You and I will escape to the seaside

Diya had seen Michael approach but refused to take her eyes off Aphra until the white feline was planted firmly in the sand. It brought her some level of amusement to watch scramble, to see the fear she struck in the Cipher. Diya was not normally a hateful or violent person but, sometimes her darker nature would rear its head. Prepared to return to her new roommate, she swung her massive head to look at Michael and give him props for his actions.

Before she could, Aphra surprised her by speaking. With a short snarl, she swung her head to look at the idiotic feline. In just a few quick steps, she was upon Aphra, a massive paw landing firmly against the other, pressing her firmly into the sand. Diya would duck her head, teeth inches from Aphra's shredded ear. "Those pansy-ass wallflowers housed many threats, such as a long bloodline of vampires, of which I am the member," she would snarl quietly into Aphra's ear. "I could easily save everyone some trouble." she would lungr forward, maw going around the others head, just to drive her point home. Was she laying it on a bit thick? Maybe so but, she really wanted Aphra to leave them alone.

Giving the fear a moment to set in, she would lean back, paw still settled on the other's side. "You say I am not a true pirate but, I have something you lack, Aphra Cipher. Loyalty. A true pirate respects her captain and would never say the foul things you have about the members of her own crew." With that, Diya would lift her paw and step back, towards Roxanne. Her eyes would remain on Aphra for a moment longer, threatening her to misstep.

Her gaze would move away from Aphra, expression shifting into a kind smile as she looked at Keigo. While he had made her uncomfortable at their meeting, she was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. "That would be heavily appreciated, Keigo, thank you!" the polarbear would chirp.

She felt odd lingering in her bear form but, didn't trust Aphra not to try something if she changed. Her smile would brighten as Michael and Georgia's comments, a bear's attempt a purr rumbling. Some behaviours were habits that didn't stick with their customary forms. "Hello, Michael! How are the pumps? Everything coming along well?" She made a mental note of his own sharpened canines, deciding she would attempt a conversation over them at a later date.

A chuckle rumbling from her chest, she would shake her head at Georgia. "You are much too kind, dear!" she would respond, clearly pleased from the compliment. It didn't occur what was being insinuated, not realizing how this would all look to an outsider. She would sit next to Roxanne, leaning against her slightly.
