Re: Overturned snack tables (5 second rule!): OPEN
Raven noticed the movement in his peripheral vision, and as he finished greedily wolfing down another appetizer, he hopped around to face his visitor. The feathers at his throat ruffled instinctively for a moment at the figure that met his gaze.
...woah, giant snake. Didn't see that one coming.
He regarded this new menace for several moments, head cocked at increasingly humorous angles in typical avian fashion. Those glistening scales were impressive, as was the creature's overall girth, and was it....getting....bigger, wait, that wasn't a good sign! Raven spread his wings in an answering gesture; in a matter of moments, he'd suddenly swelled to three times his original size. That's right, no serpentine sleazeball was going to intimidate him.
The question, when it came, was almost laughable, and Raven responded as such with a harsh, grating cackle. I hope that question was rhetorical. The voice was surprisingly smooth, deep, and practically oozing with biting sarcasm; it simultaneously did and did not belong to the body of his current human host, although something of Shae's essence still lingered around the edges.
There was little formality in his speech as he addressed his companion, hopping closer and relishing the fact that he now towered considerably over the snake. I'm right at home, thanks for asking. Looks like you're the new kid in town.
