"I wonder if the boys will actually be able to find this place.. it felt like we were walking for days.."
"It's probably just where we lived in New York.." she offered to Arya, hoping to calm some of their indifference while the boys were away. She didn't want to be at odds with the people she had to work with.. She just wasn't feeling all that great. Her emotions were sort of on the fritz. She couldn't exactly control the situation all that well. Her fever was getting worse. The walk definitely didn't help her situation. She leaned back onto the cave walls, sighing at the coolness as it touched her swollen cranium. It felt so soothing, one of the first comforting things she'd felt since their arrival in this god forsaken world.
"There's a small waterfall in here... it's so...beautiful.."
"I thought I heard running water.. I passed it off as my imagination." She chuckled a bit, a little surprised as she felt a damp piece of cloth pressed to her head. It was cool and felt rather amazing against her feverish skin, but she had to admit she didn't expect Arya to dote on her. After how she responded earlier, she half expected Arya to let her fend for herself. She was glad that she'd been wrong, once again reminding herself to see the best in others. Though.. I should be the one taking care of them.. She thought to herself, sort of depressed that she was the one currently being 'babysat'.
"Perhaps it will help with your fever.. you need to cool down.."
"Thanks Arya.." she whispered, a bit embarrassed by the situation, "Oh.. and I don't think he meant it like that.. I think Klaus is just worried about us in his own strange way.. I didn't see it right off.. but the walk gave me a lot of time to think more clearly on today's events.." She replied to Arya, a little skeptic about voicing her opinion. Arya had proven herself to be quite hotheaded when she disagreed with someone. Her quick temper definitely was not something Diana could approach in her current state so she tried to tread as carefully as possible.
The dabbing motion was a little uncomfortable at first, but eventually the throbbing in her head felt like a distant sensation. She barely felt it anymore, and her body temperature lowered to a comfortable level. The blonde seemed to mean well, but she definitely had a lot of issues to work out. She was kindhearted underneath all her layers of drama, but it was so aggravating to dig that far. She wondered how the girl got by in the real world. Well she did live in New York.. Rude behavior is typically overlooked there..
"Your name is Diana? Why did you- Well I don't care what your name is as long as you don't become a problem it's irrelevant to me."
She smiled a bit before nodding her head. The hissing noise that alerted Arya also caught her attention and she pulled the blonde next to her on the rock, hushing her as she quietly maneuvered them behind the large stones nearby.
"What was that?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Diana looked to Arya, hoping her facial expression said enough to keep her quiet, because whatever the source of that noise, it was definitely not an average snake. It was too loud and there was multiple hisses. Thankfully their silence paid off, because the source of the sound revealed itself. It was a reptile humanoid with piercing blue eyes. It's hair consisted of several snakes in the place of actual strands and she hand fangs instead of teeth. Her beauty was striking, but she was perhaps the most horrifying thing Diana had ever witnessed. She was almost frozen in place. Then she remembered something.. She'd heard of such a creature. Diana looked to Arya, tapping her shoulder.
Once she caught the blonde's attention she pointed to her eyes, then the humanoid then to the stones they used as shelter. Hopefully Arya was good at charades.. because she definitely didn't want to alert the creature. She just hoped this creature didn't have a strong sense of smell.. It wouldn't take her long to sniff the two of them out if she hunted by scent. It was now that she wished the two arrogant men would return. She'd "owe" them anything they want. She HATED snakes.
