here, lizard...

The sound of a voice dragged his attention to the side, and Chaos blinked for a moment in curiosity to see the stranger prancing up to him with wagging tail. Dark like him, with flecks of lighter color to break up the darkness, but she barely came up to his chest in height. How weird to see such a tiny, delicate-looking and happy creature in such a dismally hot and mucky place. But he knew better than most that appearances could be deceiving. Just look at his mother - built like a racing hound and always smiling, yet in many ways she had the morals of a jackal. He tilted his head down and around to regard this stranger and grin at her words. "Maybe. I hope they at leatht try," he lisped in return before surveying the boggy land with anticipation. "Crocodileth or alligatorth maybe. I bet they tathte good. Wonder what elthe huntth here."
