Serpent Lake go for the throat

Rajani watched as the kid rolled his eyes at her comment. His bit of sarcasm annoyed her but she wouldn't let it show, although she thought to herself You're lucky to even be in my presence, boy. She found his carelessness intriguing.

When the boy said it'd be a decent meal, she wasn't sure if he was referring to himself or the birds- but her tongue slipped out her mouth to lick her lips slightly. How interesting that she had tried wolf and not vulture. When she had devoured her twin she hadn't fully understood how wrong it was- but by the time she did understand, she was not repulsed by it. She would probably do it again someday and this boy seemed to be somewhat apathetic to his condition. But she would not do anything presently; they were having conversation now and she wasn't that barbaric. 

When he asked if she was afraid of his iillness, she tilted her head before slowly shaking it side to side. "I can promise you I won't catch whatever you have." She guaranteed. Of course it wasn't true, she was surely at risk. But Rajani was a delusional girl, thanks to the beliefs she was raised by. She was absolutely confident that she would be immune.
