Pleasantly surprised, she smiled and stepped closer. He was magnificent. His scales gleaming with the fire yellow of the streetlights that barely reached where they were, black as pitch. His eyes were beautiful and would have been terrifying if she had not lived as long as she had. His jaws filled with sharp teeth, two large venom filled fangs shone in the dim light.<br/><br/>"One of my own kin. A basilisk." She observed, stepping ever closer. "That explains you staring at me the way you were. Though why would you wish to kill me? I have done you no wrong." She stopped and looked directly into his eyes, unblinking. "Please consider my offer seriously. I will need much help, though I don't often ask for it, I am asking you. As partners, we could easily take down the evil that builds within this city and prevent a great tragedy from befalling others like us as well as innocent bystanders." Taking a few last steps towards him, she gently laid her hand on the side of his neck, smiling at him.
