That Don't Kill Me

The dumb, narrowed gaze from Viper was probably nothing new at this point. She may have felt this way too, not that she really noticed herself but she looked mostly offended by everything Siren was saying. Logical, truth, her knowledge wasn't wrong. But Viper was reading her voice as offensive. It was actually very hard to get Viper not to like you, but she was feeling hateful towards everyone on the island. Though Chimera owned her in some way, she was feeling like she owned him in some way. That was far from a truth, if she had ever voiced that to him he'd probably let her know just how wrong she was. But Viper felt as she felt and did what she wanted. Except for right now. She had to hold herself back from hurting Siren, only for Chimera.

"It's what Chimera wants, isn't it?" Her voice was less agitated than her expression, and more like a genuine question. Like Siren would understand the sexual needs of her brother. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. Viper was too naive to notice. Viper ignored Chimera's time with Aliana, Viper ignored anything that would make her feel something other than the love that she felt she had been missing her whole life that she felt with Chimera. So whatever he did in his own time, she kept herself blinded by it. It could have been clear just from when she moved past Aliana and Chimera in the den when she was introduced to the new slave, but Viper was exceedingly hard to read, even though most of her interactions were silent with Chimera.
