RP:Maneater

Summary: An arrogant Avian meets an arrogant Ha-Naga.

Kelay Way

Fallen leaves and drying sprouts crunch underfoot, as the tamed walkways come to a halt, buried beneath the motley-colored blanket. The veil of nature closes in at the edge of the woodland town of Kelay. Through an outcropping of deep verdant tints, smoke rises from the chimney of a stately home just east of here, while a narrow dirt path juts off to the north. Southward, you spy the beginning of a well paved road heading east.

Manasa had just left the forest, wet and some dried blood remained on her lavender lips, licking her lips with a black forked tongue. Her nose cringed at the sight of different races together in one place, circlets covered the crown and wrapped around her forehead as a sign of high rank along the Nagas. Numerous jewelry covered the female along her body as well as orange scales with a rainbow glimmer to them, she stood a tall six foot with six feet of tall wavering in a slither behind her. Violet hair pulled up into a tight pony tail, the Ha-Naga was not a happy camper to have been frozen for so long, still working out the stiffness. Her hands rest on at her sides, sparks of lightning flashed out from underneath her silver stained fingertips. Her attire was of what some consider a bikini top, highly decorated in amethyst. Around her neck she had many beaded necklaces covering her breast from sight. Lifting up her left hand she suck blood off from each finger, the deer got away but not the idiot who somehow shot their selves. Her favorite meal, an easy dumb one.

Irenic swung off his black cloak with a chill in his gaze, his wound on his side fully healed now leaving only a pale hand print in it's wake and he can finally get stronger like Lady Dragana told him to do. Large ivory wings reflecting hues of pearl and silver in the slivers of waning sunlight through the trees and his long-sword slowly unsheathed. He hadn't realized the nearby Naga, yet and his long sword slices into a wild boar with brilliant precision. His muscles seem to tense in tandem with his wings and its nearly like a dangerous dance when he started to move towards his next victim. His light brown locks falling into view to which he doesn't care to smooth out of his sight. His elongated pointy ears pick out the sounds of something shifting through the woods and his attention was stolen to Manasa's direction. He doesn't near closer towards this creature he thinks he's never seen before. He doesn't bother sheathing his bloodied sword, even leaving it out in case this stranger attacks.

Manasa pulled her thumb out of her mouth with a pop, stopping in her wake. Staring at the Avian, she had never seen an Avian before as there city floated. Coiling her tail up behind her, raising herself up a little bit more now a six foot five. A black forked tongue flicked outside of her mouth, watching the food get killed she couldn't help but watch each muscle flex. A smile formed, showing off the double sets of elongated canines. When he looked at her, lighting flicked about both her hands. His stance lessen the defensive stance, but still defensive. Her nose cringed, making her septum ring move. "Are you going to eat that, or just stare at me? What the hell are you? What winged extra large elf?" Her body began to coil up tighter, her lower torso swaying like a snake does before it strikes.

Irenic simply picked the fat boar up with one hand and tossed it in front of the Naga, "You want it, take it!" His low gruff tone grunted at her before those silvery eyes narrow, "I'm an Avian, one of the first races to come to Hollow after the Dragons… What are -you-!" She had quite the attractive upper half and the bottom was interesting as she appeared to be a snake. His guffaw out come off as obnoxious, "More like the Elves are just lesser versions of us." His weapon stayed out though lowered and he inched his way a little closer to the stranger.

Manasa smiled widen as he tossed the boar, inside spilling out. Rubbing her tummy, patting it, "Just had a spear human, I am stuffed." She tilted her head, he said 'lesser'. "Ha-Naga...well Naga simple terms for you." Her rainbow boa like tail uncooked out from behind her, six foot of tail. Moving up to him, quickly encircling him but not touching his flesh. "Pfft, most two legged beast are lesser..Wait they all are." Her copper serpent eyes took in his form, now her tail did contract about his legs. Holding him still, blood dried hands ran along his wings. "They are attached! What the heck? My kind was created by God's..we are the creatures that use to be the reason why a baby cried for no reason. Why nightmares happened... Why you don't venture into the dark." Her tongue flicked back out, wrapping more of her tail around him as she moved in front of him. Her hands running along his ears, she was completely curious about this 'Avian' species.

Irenic would be attempting to slink from the Naga's tail, "Miss! Miss…" His limbs manage to break himself free after a tough struggle from himself, "Hands… Er… I mean tail off my goods. We are perfect beings and have no gods!" His chuckle was menacing and his wings spanned out ready to take flight if she tried that again, "You know what eagles do to snakes?" His scarred brow quirks at her, "That’s right, they claw into them and then drop them from the skies… That sound like a good enough nightmare to you?" His brow was moist with sweat and he would wipe it quickly with the back of his hand. "But I going to be doing that to a half pretty lady like you…. I think."

Manasa hissed deeply as he moved away, "The name is Manasa, not miss." She had to laugh, deep throat laugh. "You are the perfect race, right... Right." The tip of her tail banged on the floor, getting a bit aggravated as he threatened to drop her from the sky. "Yeah but problem is you are more of a turkey then an eagle. Do you know what boas do to their prey? Constrict, choke break every bone and if around water, drown pretty birds. My only nightmare was waking up and getting told we are equals to two legged freaks." She moved back and forth as she readied to dart forward to the other side of the avian. Smirking, "Charm does not work on me, but already know I am pretty. No need to think about it, I am... But you definitely do not have a body for a turkey.." She chuckled, moving around him again quickly almost to quick to keep track of.

Irenic squinted, "Manslaughter… Or did you say Man-eater?" His guffaw disrupts the air again, but was cut short watching her dart around him, "Hey, I am a roguishly handsome turkey, thank you, Maneater." He continues to get the 'Ha-Naga's' name wrong. "I was just stating the obvious, Maneater." When she got close again he whooshed himself some distance between them again, then her sort of compliment hits his ears and he poses with one arm folded behind his bowed head, wicked smile and his thumb tucked in the brim of his slacks, and flex. Those valleys deepen in the tawny skin and his silver gaze would steady on her, "Look at you, flattering me." His wings hug tight to his body while he changes poses again, jutting out a hip and now both arms fold behind his head to grasp on the peaks of his wings. He's really just making fun of her now.

Manasa couldn't help but to laugh, waving her hand at her face. "That is the sweetest mess up of my name..I think I might she'd a tear!" Her copper eyes narrowed as he put distance between them. "Is the handsome turkey skittish of a snake hug?" When she said snake she added a hiss mixed into it. "Just keep posing, wings, I am just thinking of all the ways I can eat you up." She snapped her mouth towards him, launching herself at him. Leaving only a foot between them, raising her hand to grab his chin. Giving his head a shake, she was enjoying this taunting game between them.

Irenic was chuckling too, "Just don't squeeze me too tight. Lady Dragana wouldn't be too happy…" He doesn’t expect her to know who Lady Dragana is and when she grabbed his head it reminded him of what he did to someone else recently, "How about you eat my ass, Maneater." He yanked his head away and his wings span out again and upon this close proximity the Naga might be enchanted to smell her favorite scent emitting from him as this time he wasn't running away. He was stubborn like that. His silver gaze narrowed, "I knew where you can acquire some overgrown rats to feast on. There are Fermin and live nearby here. Don't snakes eat rats?" His silver optics look her up and down.

Manasa made herself eye level with the him, smiling widely revealing her canines again. "Aww. But a good bone popping squeeze is always good for you. Didn't your..who ever that is tell you?" When he told her to eat his ass, her head dropped down some. Doing her best not to crack up, her hand reached around digging in her nails. "It's tender, I just might need salt and pepper though. " She smelled the scent, it was incense and the smell of other Nagas. Lifting her eyes back up, looking dead into his eyes. Her serpent pupil moving to grow more large then small again repeating such, her voice came out in a soft hypnotic manner. "Fermin don't taste right...I prefer elves or humans." Her right hand lifted, making the bells jingle on her bracelet. "You are just to fun to be on a menu. I think I'll keep you around, turkey."

Irenic took the Ha-Naga's hands in his own, they would feel warm, he felt the little shocks from it like static electricity, "I know there are sparks between us, Maneater." He is trying to hardest not to crack his acting with laughter from the pun, "But you have to promise not to fall in love with me." He fakes a sad sigh, but his acting broke as a wicked smile started to spread across his scarred lips and a menacing chuckle after as he dropped his grasp, "Bye for now, Maneater. Maybe you can dine on my behind another time." He chuckled again at his awful rhyme while he backed away to fly off into the night skies.

Manasa jerked her hand away with a hiss, "Do not ever try to hold my hand, I could never fall in love with anything not Naga. It's gross and not right. Don't even think about touching me like that again." Well, he flipped the button, went from 0 to 100 pissed off. She spat a mouth full of green venom beside him that sizzles like acid. "Watch it, turkey." She watched him fly off as she took off into the tree line.
