Snuggle Snakey times!
Now with 50% more egg puns.
Sya was making herself small as things took a turn, Orion, Tia and Kiara intervened in different ways, as a calming force, the One seeking to help and the one who seemed to want to eat him. She curled up behind Orion and hid herself deeper into the water and tried and failed to gain traction to slither away from the situation in her unfamiliar limb. She was stuck ans they where her protection right now.
The Lord had pushed her too far and her instincts chose flight too worn down to fight this time for a second time. It hurt too much, no where to run but Jo will to fight.
Her panic overwhelmed Sya even as people arrived and she remained in a state of panic as emotions she suppressed in a neat little box exploded out and she felt everything all in one go. The Lamia-like woman had tried to control it all and the dam broke loose.
“Thankyou… for Helping, protecting …me.. You good eggs.” she looked round at the two blightborn and the priestess with her emotions written plainly on her eye and body. She was deeply thankful for their aid, and promised to repay it when and if she was able.
“I….” Sya lost her words and found the nearest safe person and latched onto them Awkwardness and modesty be damned, her head fell onto them and she cried and sobbed deeply, her tail instinctively holding close as she gave up hiding how much damage she felt.
Sya had gravitated to Tia and her calming aura, shifting and letting her emotions go Sya began to shift and loosen as she realised the mess her tear streaks left on her robes, her wet self marks left behind and long dark hairs where it had caught white visible. The deep brunette could not hide her signs of her desire for support and human comfort.
“Ssssorry….I… “ Sya tears kept coming somehow, she had water left in her somehow as she realised she had snuggled her into her and wrapped her up like a snug bread roll… Sya Just needed this.
“Sorry… I …I get used to my life and life throws rocks at me, its…so much. My friend cannot look at me. It just hurt too much…too much too fast.. Blightborn seen monster.but we hurt. I hurt, i can only take so much. Am i just want people to gove me a chance, and maybe ssssomeone to care for me... Treat me with kindness...”. Sya took several minutes to fully settle, her aura was deeply calming, the snake turned hybrid of a woman. She babbled out and without really thinking, her emotions just flowing freely.
“I ruined your robe, im …ssssorry. ” Sya said sadly as she pulled back finally, eye sore and red, shaky but a little more composed than before.
“Thankyou truely, I'm…going to take a short ssswim and try to… return to the Eye when i feel ready, i'll send someone over to bring you some of our sweet treats, the Bakery is just starting out. Thankyou for your ssssancttury and care. He… He egg with rotten yolk. No sssshiny shell can hide it.” Sya said with genuine thanks and good faith, fresh cookies would make Tia happy right…
Sya unsure what to say pushing off from the rock into the deeper waters, to try and avoid not knowing what to say. Her powerful tail pushed naturally through the water and she found a spot nearer the spring centre where it bubbled up feeling the hot water push over skin and scale alike sighing how it was like a water massage. The current pushed her about and Sya did not mind as she circled the centre, she could even laugh a little as the water tickled the end of her tail.
Testing things a little more she dived into the clean and supposed to be healing waters moving under it with surprising speed and agility. Letting her instincts take over she found swimming came easily, her muscles moving with little effort and understanding what she needed to do on a level without conscious effort.
All good things must come to an end as Sya beeched herself back on the rocky edge, reaching back to squeeze the water out her hair and stretching her long glistening tail out into the moonlight with a soft sigh. Getting out the water was harder as her ability to push her new form out was different to when she had two legs.
The one thing she could say, her cold immunity was rather a gift right now as she was fully comfortable.
“Maybe they were right About this place being healing…” Sya said to herself, why would a god extend any Form of blessing to a blightborn…embarkin, curses to die, live and be considered monsters by many? Or just maybe for once a Goddess cared?
