Izusa took the tea in hand and looked at it for a moment before looking back up and blinking. She was a bit... hesitant to drink the tea. What if it was poison? or a drug? The naga had been friendly enougb so far but it could of been a ruse... but she would probably have a better chance hoping that the tea was safe then trying to escape from Esszie's home if she really wanted to keep her there.<br/><br/>So she took a sip of the tea and looked back up to Esszie as she asked her questions, and thought how to word them without sounding.... insulting.<br/><br/>"Well... I consider myself a priestess of Shoni, and I might of accidently on purpose stumbled upon some forbidden rituals in my convent and the elder's decided that I should be punished. I don't consider myself a criminal... just.. curious!" She giggled a bit and flicked her tail.<br/><br/>"And yes... when i was growing up i heard stories and rumors about how horrible this land was, and how evil it is compared to the mortal realms" She paused "But you know, smart people don't believe things until they experience themselves. The best you can do is be cautious!" She looked at the naga and hoped that was an ok answer and not too insulting.
