*Mortar calls down to comfort her* Don't worry, I'll get you! *Mortar dissolves into the ground, reforming behind Venia in the hole and hugs her tight*

Edited by NightBloomsFell: 3/2/2017 6:26:16 PM[i]she looks at mortar when he appears behind hugging her tight.[/i] "Ok thank you mortar...my leg hurts..."says venia [i]the girl for brief is looking at something in the dark tunnel ahead them. [/i] "There's something out there in the dark..."says venia [i]a fork tongue is seen flicking in the air as a pair milky eyes are seen a large pale reptilian like creature lurks in the shadows clearly avoiding light and them. It was clearly drawn by her cries.[/i]
-
*Mortar stares at it while pulling out his PST and tapping it's screen with his thumb* Come on, Let's get you out of here. I don't really like where this is going...
-
[i]a low voice is heard coming from the shadows. "No... hurt....child.. harmless i am...." Venia clung to him frightened of the strange creature. [/i]
-
*Mortar glares at it, then opens a portal next to Serenity. He picks up Venia and hands her to Serenity* She doesn't seem too hurt, but I would suggest taking her to the hospital to check that leg out. *He closes the portal, facing back the thing* What are you?
-
[i]serenity takes venia when mortar hands her venia she simply nods at him. The lizardlike creature speaks again as it flicks its tongue again for a second. "I am... known as alkyl i have... long stalked these tunnels... as to what i am is unknown to even i...." [/i]
-
Okay... But how can you prove you're harmless? If you are as old as you say you are, you must have defended yourself.
-
[i]"always lived down here never been to surface...not even once... so i dont see many people..."[/i]
-
Hmm... Okay...
-
[i]"like i said im no threat im just very old blind lizard"it says[/i]
-
*Mortar nods* Fine. I will not kill you, because this will be Harambe all over again. But if you attempt to kill ANYONE here, I will finish you myself. *And with that, he opened a portal to Serenity and Venia*
-
[i]"i never leave these tunnels and people rarely come down here so you don't worry about that plus only eat the insects and the vegetation thats down here." The lizard just stood in shadow not doing much.[/i]
-
*Mortar stares at it before disappearing into the portal* Fine. *He appears next to Serenity and Venia, his face softening*
-
[i]venia is clinging to her mother when mortar reappears in front of them. Serenity watches him appear.[/i] "Thank you mortar"says serenity
-
You're welcome. Just be a little more careful when you play, okay? I don't know what I would do if I lost even one of you.
-
"Oh okay mortar sorry for scaring you two"says venia [i]venia hugged her mom a little tighter.[/i]
-
*Mortar smiled as she hugged Serenity* It's okay, Venia. So long as you're safe. We all make mistakes
-
"Oh okay mortar well i did hurt my leg when i fell though."says venia "We will have someone look at that sweetie"says serenity [i]she kisses venia on the forehead as she holds her.[/i] "Thanks again mortar"says serenity
-
It wasn't a problem. But I am somewhat concerned with what else is down there.
-
"Why what's down there other than the lizard she mentioned"says serenity
-
Well, the lizard...
-
"What about it? I feel like your stalling a bit"say serenity
-
Stalling? No. It's just that it's hard to trust a large lizard that lives underground when it says it's completely harmless. I know lizards, and when they flick their tongue it's an intimidation tactic that they use before they attack
-
"Hmm that depends dont they normally hiss if there being threatened?"says serenity
-
Well I gave it no reason to make it feel threatened, except for the last couple words to it... I don't know. I just want to make sure whatever is down there stays down
