Well, on the bright side, tall-dark-and-shithead didn't seem to be getting on the snake-lady's good side. Served him right, calling the dead Youkai art like he was some sort of painter and not a complete psychopath. Then again, how would he react to her comment? Cinwi had come in offering help -albeit a tad naively- and the man had been on the verge of trying to fucking [i]eat[/i] her. Maybe he was scared of her too, though, not that Cinwi would admit the lady unnerved her to no end. 

And wouldn't you know it, the woman's gaze turned to her, and Cinwi couldn't help but jolt a bit when she was addressed. Come closer? Like hell she was gonna get anywhere near this lady. Then again, she didn't really have anywhere else to go, the house was surrounded by those massive snakes and something told her running would be a fairly unwise choice. So fuck it, she thought, going along with the lady's demands seemed undoubtedly to be the safest option. 

Cinwi looked to the creep, unsure if the guy was going to lose it, before turning back to the lady and cautiously stepping forward. [color=7ea7d8]"D-don't try anything...I mean it..."[/color] she muttered to the woman, cursing herself for the stutter. Dammit Cinwi, you're not scared, you're [i]not[/i]. If this freak went for the throat she'd get a face full of claw. Yeah, right. 

When at last she was but a couple feet away, Cinwi came to a stop, deeming that close enough. She stood stiff as a board, arms frozen at her sides, as if with every inch she drew nearer to the lady turned her body to stone. Can't freeze ice, Cinwi, just don't lose focus and don't get caught off guard. 

[color=7ea7d8]"Who are you?"[/color] she asked, eyes going to the snakes on the floor momentarily. What the actual fuck. Maybe she should have asked [i]what[/i] the lady was instead.
