Hopefully she was successful, but if she wasn't, she could always just compel it to listen to her. So, the albino sat and murmured commands to the reptile as it slithered about in front of her, eyeing the small snack she had, which she was planning on rewarding it with once it started listening.[/fancypost]

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0; width:350px; color:white][justify][size=11px][color=#aa88aa]"You talk to snakes?" A skeptical-toned Claire inquired, pursing her lips as she padded towards Ivana. [color=#aa88aa]"That's probably the coolest thing I've seen since joining. Claps for you kid," She continued with a simple shrug, [color=#aa88aa]"What's its name? Tell me it isn't like 'Slither' or 'Scaly', that'd totally make me lose any respect for you." Okay so she was a tad-bit blunt... it wasn't like she could help it though- it was simply her personality and she just assumed that everyone and anyone would know how to handle it. [color=#aa88aa]"Oh yeah, my name's Claire but I think you know that. You're that girl that accepted me, aren't you?" The ebony femme proceeded to half-inquire half-introduce, flicking her tail nonchalantly before taking a seat.

"I... No. Her name is Apricot," she explained, gesturing towards the orange stripes on the reptile's body. [color=#ccbbaa]"And yeah, I accepted you. I'm Ivana."[/fancypost]

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0; width:350px; color:white][justify][size=11px][color=#aa88aa]"Good. I didn't pin you to be the type of girl who named her pet basically like that," Claire responded with a shake of her head, a playful smirk appearing upon her features. [color=#aa88aa]"Out of everyone here, you're the only one that's gonna get this: nice to meet ya." She was being sincere too, rare for the usually detached and apathetic femme. [color=#aa88aa]"So, can I ask what secrets you were whispering to Apricot? They must be important if you're sharing them with a snake."

I wasn't whispering secrets. I'm training her to follow some commands. See, watch." With that, the child turned her head towards Apricot, whom couldn't have been more than a few feet from her. [color=#ccbbaa]"Apricot, come." The snake looked at her blankly. [color=#ccbbaa]"Apricot, come. Come here. Come to me. Come here. I have food for you. Come here. Please." After a few minutes of failed attempts to get her pet to respond to her, her shoulders slumped in defeat. Great, her first potential friend, and she'd totally embarrassed herself.[/fancypost]

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0; width:350px; color:white][justify][size=11px]Claire tried not to laugh, she really did, but it was impossible when the snake was doing anything but listening. [color=#aa88aa]"Wow.. you're a mighty fine snake-whisperer. How 'bout I try?" She inquired, an almost mischievous glint appearing within her eyes.


    Not even waiting for an answer, she strode forward, assessing the reptile for several moments before speaking, [color=#aa88aa]"Jadilat gezri, come snake." Hopefully that would work better than Ivana's attempt... the language she spoke was special.

It faded, though, as she watched with deep fascination as the older fem spoke to Apricot in a language she didn't recognize and the reptile obeyed. "But... How did you..." Ivana trailed off, watching her pet with her jaw slightly dropped in shock.[/fancypost]

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0; width:350px; color:white][justify][size=11px]Amused by Ivana's confusion, Claire breezily continued, [color=#aa88aa]"Hash shafka dirgat mae qemmemmo? Do you think it's strange?" She certainly didn't, but then again, she had grown up exposed to the language and thought of it as second nature. [color=#aa88aa]"I can teach you how to make the snake come if you'd like? It's just two simple words."

    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 380px; margin-top: 8px;][justify][sub]Well, truthfully, she was feeling a mix of confusion and fascination, for obvious reasons, and it didn't help that Claire kept speaking jibberish. "I... Okay, sure," Ivana replied with a small nod.
