Re: Aloysius, Hyperion, Quinn, and ZJ
She had feasted heartily before getting dressed for the evening. Fear was a delicious ambrosia, one that her true nature latched onto and almost IMMEDIATELY went into 'hunter mode' for. And she was grateful for Aly's wisdom in giving her extra blood.. because had she not slurped up so much of it, Zahara's little gasp and the immediate reaction that peppered her scent would have no doubt caused a major issue.
As it was, it only made her smile (and as the dragon, that was gloriously dangerous-looking).
The smile did not last long, though, for soon her Protector was morphing into his own version of a dragon. He had also told her what THAT was going to look like, and again his thoughtfulness in doing so allowed her not to react as she might've normally done. For she had seen dragons on the movie screen. On the tv screen. But never in person --which was exactly what he appeared to be doing at the moment.
It didn't look like an illusion at all, but a REAL dragon. Did she look like that?! Wow!
Her shoulders bunched in a threatening manner, and she bowed her head toward Hyperion, respectfully responsive. "I will distract him, Princeeeee," she promised. "Ssssssave your beautiful love." With long, graceful moves, she approached the Ice King, tail-swishing. "Releaseeeee her, you Icicle-Brained Malevolent Sssssnake!"
