Reseda frowned. Obviously she had underestimated the green one. Or perhaps she had overestimated her acting skills. Fine, then she wouldn't pretend like she was happy and interested, because that was not what the green one was looking for. But she still had to maintain that mask that she cared at all, that she had the same emotions that the other gems around her did. That she considered herself one of them. She had traveled with the deep one enough and on her own, met enough that she was able to pick out how they acted, how they spoke, and, even for the cold ones, like the dark one itself, how they seemed to care.

She tapped a single claw on the ground. "You're observant," she replied, dryly, the smooth, warm tone evaporating instantly. "But don't get the wrong idea. I don't really like anyone. I also don't dislike anyone either. I just met you and what reason have you given me to like you?"

She absentmindedly picked up a bone, remembering that this was something she had observed some gems do. Internally, she found it a bit distracting to have to focus on the bone, the green one, and her own train of thought all at the same time, but she imitated the action of mild boredom quite well.

"You just met me as well," she continued, picking at the marrow. "And you obviously caught my acting, yet you still asked to live with me. Why? I'm mean, I'm cold. I don't like other gembounds much and I don't like unnecessary blabber. You're a smart girl - what's to be gained by sticking around with me?"

She cast one eye in the green one's direction, her acting easier and, well, less of an act this time around. She just had to feign slight interest. Personally, she didn't much care for the green one's reasoning, but she needed to have it spoken aloud nonetheless.

Thnx for patience:3

Cat out of the bag but still, Reseda wont give up her facade. Determination Cháos would give her credit for. Reseda tries again, the visage of illusions- the dragon's neediness(for loyalty) an embarrassment already. Empathy wants to take the snake but instead Cháos completely converts to her own powerhouse motives and what she will do for them.

A turn over, switch and rise of taste for the young snake. Cháos too takes the situation to advantage. Reseda stirred resent too soon. A test in the youngster's character. Tolerances and boundaries clearly set.. Well to Cháos.

An alter happened. The lizard would provide little Cháos with protection. As of now, the komodo did nothing but talk too much.

"You were mighty." But I am mightier and you are to protect me till I too, grow better than you. A mental note that spoke a spell. Nonetheless.. That's why Cháos bestowed the dragon. Ideal to the young serpent.

So yes, let's play nice. Because Cháos had some other motives to test out.

@Reseda

Mighty? Were mighty? Reseda was annoyed with the green one. It made no sense and seemingly cared not for whatever she was saying. So she threw the bone to the side and fixed the green one with a dull, emotionless stare. No need for anything else anymore. It would either stay or leave right now.

"What do you want?" Her voice had gone back to the cold, disinterest. Her peace and quiet was disturbed. She didn't care anymore, not that she ever cared very much at all. If the green one stayed, she'd have a child to raise as her own. If it left, fine, she would simply return to the deep one and continued her learning. Either way, she didn't care. She didn't have anything better to do.

notes: Just a reminder: Chaos might be smart, but she cannot read Reseda's mind.

It is then her alteration escalated. A vague voice, from the blackness that was too great and infinite, spoketh an advice she'd do best to follow. 'Το παιδί μου, πρέπει να χρησιμοποιήσετε το 'Gargoyle'(My child, you are to use the 'Gargoyle'). Reseda was not something Cháos found herself liking. So any relation nonetheless called for work.

Cháos hissed, her brows arched while she too grew annoyed, her mind playing with the intent to cause the komodo a day or two with a headache. Plus, it would pay for the shit Reseda stirred. No one had to be enemies. But Cháos wouldn't back down now. She'd finish it though quietly. Without the lizard's interference.

So Cháos takes her time giving the thing a chance as He asked her too; the one from her gestational period who seemingly always lurked. As if observing her development, and being. Protecting her and possessing her. A purpose Cháos had no clue about nor it's importance later in life. A child, she doesn't question the familiar voice that had been vague. It use to sing lullabies of damnation to the walls of her hematite chrysalis before she was born. She.. hadn't known better that the occasional whispers could've been a force or anything more.

But yes, assess the nuisance. Bleak, distant and unsure yet of what to do of the thing and what it had to offer. What could it offer anyway? Cháos needed a payment of some sort, her odd mind somehow convinced Reseda owed her something. "V'at do you have?" A vengeful little serpent.

Reseda stared unblinking at the green one, her eyes narrowing at its bold question. Did it expect her to list off everything she had to give? How rude. But, she decided, it probably wouldn't hurt. She'd watch and wait and see how it reacted and what it chose. A fun little game, perhaps, to make this annoying conversation a little more amusing.

"I have this cave. I have bones. I have magic. I have me. I have a powerful master. I have knowledge. I have sharp claws and teeth. One day I will have more."

Yes, one day, she would have everything. The deep one had promised that it would take over the caves with her at its side. She would rule beside it. She wondered if, one day, she would surpass it and take its place. She hoped that this would happen one day. That their plans would succeed. Perhaps the green one would be there as well.
