Hoshor Plains two suns in the sunset

A step back, a shake of the head. Sen had expected the female to be an easy target, someone easily persuaded, but that just wasn't the case. She denied her, the offer given, which caused a frown to settle itself deep into the serpent's features. Her initial approach had been a failure, clearly, but that only meant it was time to try another. For as long as she was not in danger, she would remain persistent. Numerous things were present in her mind, plenty of fruits ripe for the picking, and yet she chose not a single one. For events thereafter had inspired her, something that was partially true and partially a lie lingering on the tip of her tongue.

Something happened, an occurrence she was unfamiliar with, yet still saw an opportunity within. "Are you sick?" Sen did not know if she would be heard, or even what had just transpired, but nevertheless the distance between them was shortened. False concern morphed with an equally fictitious expression of shock, gaze reluctant to leave Hiisi's own. "Come with me," she repeated, urging the other woman to accept her offer. "We have an amazing medic. She can help you." Rather, she and Depp could stuff her with some sort of placebo until they actually had a medic. Same difference though, right?

Sen had believed her offer to be tempting, perhaps so much so that there was no chance it'd be turned down—of course, she had been wrong. Rather than accepting her offer, the other woman decided to take her leave. This time around, the serpent did not stop her. It was futile, she'd discovered, and the girl just wasn't worth the trouble. She had places to be and couldn't be glancing over her shoulder every second to ensure the stranger didn't sneak off, making the act of letting her go the only logical solution. The Gorgon had watched her leave, however, half expecting her to realize the mistake she was making, but the thought never hit her. Hiisi had long since vanished from her line of sight before Sen, too, turned and left the area. One miss, sadly, but her next would be a hit for sure.
