Vixen smiled from under her hood.
"You're kusarian. I thought so...don't worry, the two may be at war, but it doesn't mean that the two cannot still mingle...you yourself are an image of that, an icon..."
Vixen blinked, hiding her eyes for a fraction of a second. She looked around, her felinic features catching the light for a bare second before returning to the veil of darkness...
"You needn't fear that you are different...different is good."
She laughed for a second.
"I myself am...'different' to say the least...tell me, Kiri, you're afraid of my hood, aren't you? My eyes? It is shown through your reaction...and...i do not blame you..."
She straightened.
"So, Kiri, would you like me to take it off? I get the feeling that it'd make you more...at ease...but what you see may...confuse you a little. Well?"
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
