She walked in skin well worn by one who had fought her whole life. There was a cold shine to her eyes, and Maraigh had just come from a scrap - the first one, it seemed, and her first interaction in this world. She did not align to the subservient mannerisms that her kind was supposed to have, and she viewed the world with a malevolent intent.
Did it make her a sadist? Perhaps. She was, she enjoyed watching them squirm. Those of her own gender she tended towards, preferring their company, but even they were those she had no qualms in striking should the need arise. She had been sequestered as a child, hidden and taught violent delights.
And it was all she knew now.
It was through the cold gaze that she saw the bedraggled figure, drawn to her for the toughened exterior that she recognised. She was not the first, nor second, it seemed, but Maraigh slithered towards them all the same.
Drawing close, she heard words spoken by the grulla, and a name, a name she ignored as her own ears laced to her skull and Maraigh menaced her and the other who had literally slid up, teeth bared as she swung her head towards the pair. There was no reason other than testing, prodding at the beast and waiting to see how it would respond.
If Koala tried to attack her, Maraigh would relish it. If she acted like prey, the same might happen. The same for the other, but then the teeth were hidden once more and Maraigh reclined, head back and gaze hard as she surveyed the three - the tough, the small and the wet.
“Strange and stranger meetings,” she speaks. Her voice is harsh, almost guttural. “What a strange little group we make,” she then says with a bizarre grin adorning her features, one that did not meet her eyes.
Let’s see how this first meeting goes then, she thought to herself. She liked the look of the first, perhaps she could find out more, but Maraigh wanted to see the toughness of the other two - and to see if they were those she might spend more time speaking to.
[ooc] hello sorry Maraigh is so unfriendly :D]
