Scrylett was startled by Cai's sudden yelp. She blinked surprisedly and looked to the girl beside her. What was Cai doing?? She listened to her sudden explanation and was a little baffled by her lie. Wait...Cai could heal via magic?? Huh...something else she had in common with the girl. She settled down a bit after listening, feeling bad that Cai was going through al lthis trouble for her, but also a hint of curiosity spreading through her. Even in this situation, she managed to think about irrelevant things that were on her mind so abruptly.
H-huh?? Was the expression in her lost eyes when she came back to reality and the rest of the conversation. As shiver ran up her spine then and the gave Cai a gentle and compassionate look. "Y-yes..." she found herself answering, calming a little more. She really had no idea how that worked exactly. The only possible reason would be that she had yet to teach her the fundamentals...or something along those lines.
Ruby eyes shot back up the the man before them and she glared at his grin, pursing her lips. She was a feisty one all right. An unusual fire for such a water creature. It was the darkness, rebellious from her demon side. Clearly, he didn't belive that, right? C'mon, Scry hardly believed it. He was letting them stay together though, and she couldn't complain. This was a better fate than separation. But to let them be together meant, possibly, that one oculd be used to coax the other, and that thought made her shrank back, not liking the thought one bit.
She clung to Cai, pulling her closer, and shivered at the whisper, ear flickering and that jingle jingling as the men stepped out to seal the deal. "H-hm..?" she blinked, returning her attention to Cai, blushing once she realized how close their faces were. SHe could sense Cai's fright, and her eyes softened. Without a second though, she gave Cai a soft nuzzle of noses, letting the girl hear her actual purr for the first time as she made the intimate contact. It was like a cat, soft and relaxing. She was also capable of growling and roaring if she was provoked enough, but Scry herself was very ladylike...or she tired to be.
"Do noh worry...ettl be all right...I promise..." she cooed back in whisper, tendril giving up and releasing the chain. She wouldn't have enough time to break it yet. So she would wait for a better time, or hope for a better opening. If Cai were to feel the chain where Scry had let go, it was already icy, showing a bit of frost. "I figure we play along...en den we hev en opportunety tu get sometheng out ov thes..." she explained, finally separating noses to gaze at her tenderly.
"J-jus...jus thenk ov et es enother kind ov adventure...! okey...?" she tried to sound cheery, giving Cai a warm smile as she reached her hands up to hold Cai's cheeks. "En den, afturwurd...we wull look beck on et en laugh, ha ha, en triumph ovur another great adventure. We wull hev meny, a book ov them...!" she continued, sounding awfully corny, but smiling at Cai and herself, sounding quite confident.
