CLEO ROUX-CIPHER
Cleo most certainly heard Vandal's ruckus loud and clear this time, ears immediately pinning against her head as she stole an innocent look up. She didn't expect to come face to face with the creature that she saw, sanguine eyes widening when she realized that the canine was far from normal. But then again, so is she. Her oddities aren't so much physical though, more so stemming from her withdrawn persona and reluctance to get close to anybody but snakes. She loved her family, but was not the type to be outward about it, preferring to keep her secret ties to each and every one of the Roux's and Cipher's a secret. Instead, she easily sported creatures like Eshe - her favorite of her companions.
The aforementioned snake appeared relatively unbothered by the disturbance, a forked tongue appearing only momentarily as it scented the air. Large ears would perk, an obvious attempt made by Cleo to hear some part of Vandal's words. Another Roux? So they were family? She supposed that that was interesting, but she didn't exactly know who this was, regardless. She had never seen her before (she would definitely remember someone as fascinating looking as Vandal, she was sure of it) but knew that they weren't siblings. Too old. Too different. Maybe an aunt then? Or a cousin? [color=#445544]"I'm Cleo Roux-Cipher," She responded finally, [color=#445544]"And this is Eshe." She paused momentarily, glowing eyes narrowing, [color=#445544]"How are we related?" She wasn't saying that she was suspicious... but she was suspicious.
Before she could interrogate Vandal any farther, Caesar arrived and immediately piqued her attention. The half-deaf bengal would study her grandfather carefully, a scrutinizing gaze softening slightly when she remembered their familial ties. [color=#445544]"Not a pet," She responded softly, a bit appalled that he'd even think to suggest that. [color=#445544]"A friend. A companion. A weapon." But not a pet. Eshe would never be regarded as a pet. [color=#445544]"Her name means 'life'.... but oh, how she can kill you."
