A smirk contorted her blood-caked countenance as strings of her own saliva dripped from her velveteen lips, failing to hit the center of her adversary's face in favor of the side of the sable brat's face courtesy of her own sideways motion. Her defeated opponent would not take kindly to the viper's act of contempt, allowing her hind limbs to shoot up with the intentions of impacting her stomach but missing their target as the babe removed herself from atop the brat, hind paws barely grazing the interior of her left thigh, extracting a wry snicker from the babe rather than a growl as she registered the attempted assault. "Perhaps you should show more appreciation towards the one who spared you," the wench hissed as she lingered by the side of her opponent, skull lowered to bring her muzzle nearer to the brat's own. Mismatched gaze would narrow slightly before her lids draped over a single lens, throwing a wink towards her fallen adversary before whispers meant only for the sable bitch vacated her unhinged jaws: "Had he not shown, the tale you'd bring home to my father would be much different -- understand?"



Once she had maneuvered a safe distance away from the sable brat and her infuriated sibling out of confusion rather than intimidation, the babe allowed her skull to lower over her breast and her tail to unfurl near her ankles, the very tip flicking minutely with impatience as she awaited an answer to her voiced question. The sable brat would dare navigate to her brother's side as if to instigate further conflict, and the phantom child would react immediately, skull ascending from its position lowered over her chest in protest, irritation evident in her stance as her pupils attempted to interlock with her sibling's own, gaze tacitly speaking against Devya's choice and demanding her brother remove himself from his close proximity to the brat. Ears would careen forward as her brother spoke her given moniker with conflicting tones, an exasperated sigh following suit before he granted her with undesirable information. The rage that had previously wracked her countenance faded then as her mismatched gaze bore into the lavender of her brother's, succumbing to silence for a long moment as negative emotions seared through her diseased mind. Pain was the only thing that the viper could register, but it was not only the physical pain of her injuries that affected her; the mere fact that again another of her family members had stepped to the aide of the sable brat rather than their own flesh and blood anguished her, and she couldn't quite understand it.



"Had you been here five minutes sooner, I wonder if you'd feel the same," the babe spoke, speech emotionless as it typically was. She would not diverge on the topic of Devya's disrespect to both she and their mother, but would instead leave it up to her brother's imagination, hoping that he would see the brat for who she was: foolish and weak. After all, her sibling ought to have known she would not have attacked so ruthlessly without good reasoning; but then again, he had abandoned her in favor of the sable brat, so there was not much he could possibly know about her.
