Sid's offer, and her warning, would remain unanswered for the moment. When Kalen returned to the kitchen, Trey set about finishing her soup, glancing up to watch the two adults with deep, wary eyes (almost animal in the way she regarded them.) When she'd finished, she cast her gaze back toward the foyer where she remembered seeing stairs. Sid had offered use of their shower, and Trey sorely needed one.
But then Kalen asked Trey whether she'd ever seen a two-headed ouroboros, and Trey... froze. Her eyes leveled on him, and beneath the table, her hand twitched and hovered over the back of her gun.
"Is that supposed to be a joke?"
She reached up with her other hand and tugged the collar of her t-shirt down, exposing the top section of what looked to be some kind of tattoo curving over her sternum: the head of a white snake swallowing a black tail.
"Need a better look, asshole, or can I go take a shower now?"
Sid's question didn't receive a response, and if the name held any meaning or familiarity to the girl, she didn't show it.
