Those long legs still struggled as she walked across the stone earth of the starry room, haven't seen her Troy in so long. He must be off training still, that had to be it. If she did stand up straight, the young female's head would be almost 7 feet up high yet she didn't carry her head high. It hung, her back was bent and her hopes low. Not much to look like really, even the Lord of the room thought so and only let her stick around since she knew plant magic and could help things grow. So tired. She walked over to a small stream that ran thought Orion and didn't need to lower to far down since she was already there for a drink. Jasmine was tired, and missed the green of the room full of life and plants; but promised she would stay here for Troy. He needed her, and even if he hadn't been around in a long time, she would keep her promise and wait. Taking slow, long gulps, the female did her best to quench her thirst. Long neck strained to rise back up and glance around the vast room. She wasn't expecting anything different to happen today, since everyone was the same. Who knew this one would be different for her. --------- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: let the games begin

@Gadanai

This room was not her favorite, but she did enjoy it. The sky was amazing, although the walls reminded her of her stupid loss against Brutus. She snorted to herself, approaching a source of water to quench her thirst. As she sauntered toward it, she saw a rather tall and pretty creature. Her body language screamed to Gadanai, and in an instant her mind was focused on a single thing: Jasmine.

Her trunk stretched down to the water and picked up a few gallons of water, which she stuffed into her mouth, bright crimson eyes locked onto Jasmine. She smiled sweetly, moving closer to her potential victim. Her ears fanned body, tail swinging freely. A low rumbled growled in her throat, a habit of an elephant.

"What are you doing here, pretty thing?" she asked, shamelessly reaching out with her elongated nose and touched the gem that protruded from her neck like a built in necklace. Like a built in collar, heh, she thought, her finger-like protrusions on the end of her trunk caressing the smooth green mineral. "I am Gadana Ama. Do you need protection?"

@Jasmine

Tired eyes lifted to the voice that approached her, glancing up to see a face that the giraffe had yet seen before. Where they passing through? Her question lingered in the air. What am I doing here? It was a strange question, but it did make her think. Slowly, she met the red gaze of the elephant, "I'm not so sure anymore." Voice was let out with a sign, but the kind tone of the stranger was an odd comfort. It had been awhile since someone spoke directly to her. But when she asked if she needed protection, Jasmine paused. Not sure how to respond to the question. Her gaze lingered on the other, seeing they were still very young but were already very confident and proud. "My name is Jasmine . . ." Trying to think of how to respond further. Standing there, a bit awkward as she formed her words together. A little out of practice in talking to others besides the plants. "Do I look like I need it . . ?" Dropping the question in the wind, assuming she looks worse then she thought, the Lord did mention she was no good for fighting. But was it that obvious? --------- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: ;3;

@Gadanai

Gadanai dropped her trunk, letting it relax. She gazed up at the taller creature, watching every twitch of movement that she could possibly. She gave a little one-shouldered shrug, then nodded a little. "You look soft and sad, like you need someone strong and smart to protect you." She moved a little closer to Jasmine, brushing up against her a little. "I would love to protect you from the dangers of these caverns." Her wicked smile was hidden by her dangling trunk. She was sure to sweeten it up before reaching out and petting Jasmine's neck, near that gem.

"You are so pretty. So many would want to hurt you. Let me protect you," she said. Her eyes held a wicked truth behind them. Such wicked evil... such evil sadism...

@Jasmine

The tall creature gazed at the other, completely unaware of their degenerate nature. The sweet words and promises touched Jasmine a little. It had been a while and the offer tempted the sweet thing. Oh, how tired she was; but could this mean of protect be the key to leaving Orion? But what of Troy? What would he think if she wasn't here when he came back . . would he ever come back? She would keep me safe . . so no harm right? Only looking away to gaze into the stream. Being able to leave and not worrying about the dangers of the carnivores on the outside? It didn't take long for Jas to return her gaze to Gada, "If you wouldn't find me a bother . . ." Stumbling on her words, ". . then I wouldn't ob . object to it." After all, what was the worse that could happen? She gave the elephant a trusting smile, letting herself lean into the touch of her trunk. --------- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: words words

@Gadanai

Gadanai had to put quite a bit of effort in containing her excitement. As the giraffe leaned into her touch, she pushed back a little harder, reaching a little higher to feel Jasmine's mane. It was softer than she thought it would be. With a deep breath, she gave a nod and stepped over the stream, wandering off to a destination she had no plan for.

"You will never be a bother, miss Jasmine," she said as she sauntered. "You are my... friend... now. Gadanai will take very good care of you."

She was very pleased with herself. It was wonderful to have hooked her first victim and it made her feel high. "Jasmine, have you ever been to a place that wasn't here?" she asked, glancing to the giraffe. She paused in her steps, gawking a bit at the patterned princess. Those legs were admirable, but also looked so breakable. Much like that long, beautiful neck.

@Jasmine

Those long legs were at a pause as Gadanai began to walk off and away from the stream. It took her a moment to realize what had happened, but she quickly moved to follow behind. Slowly raising her head a bit, not all the way, and smiled to her new friend. "I've only ever been to . . to the green room and the tunnel that connects it to this place." Each one of her steps was long, carring her with a gentle flow over the stone earth. "But, I haven't left this place in over a cycle." Ever since she came here, the Lord had told her it wasn't safe our there. But it would be alright now, Gadanai would protect her. "How many places have you seen?" Many have spoken over the many tunnels, claiming they went on for miles and it would take forever to see each and every place these caves had to offer. But, she only knew that from stories, who knew if it was true or not. --------- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: words words

@Gadanai

"I was born to Pisces, seen Cetus and Canis, and have been here for a while," she stated. "Would you like to... go to this green place?" It would be a nice excuse to venture away from here for a bit. She was growing bored of being in a single space. Same thing every day; nothing changed as far as sights went, and there was only so long that the stars could seem appealing to such an elephant.

@Jasmine

Jasmine took in those names of the places, curious what each of them were like and what sort of places they were. The possibly must be endless, since these caves were so unique in each one. Her attention went to high alert at the offer to see the green place. Seeming a little to excited over that idea, "Oh, I would love to go back there again!" Nodding her head quickly as both of the walked. --------- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: blinded by not wanting to see evil

@Gadanai

Perfect. Gadanai smiled wider than she ever had before. This was too easy. She was so eager, so simple, so sweet. She almost felt guilty for taking advantage of poor little Jasmine... almost. Unfortunately, almost just wasn't enough to save her future with Gadana Ama. "Do you know how to get there?" she inquired, not exactly sure what this green place was suppose to be. It sounded like a place full of food, honestly, which was quite appealing in itself. And, well, whatever made little Jazzy happy. It wasn't like Gadanai had anything better to do; her whole priority was to brainwash this damned giraffe, now. --------- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: Thank you for the table ;-; @Jasmine
