[I need for him to say a little more, look, at least that trident is still on its back and not pointing at you. That should count for something.] Silane replied, as she waited for the reptilian to say something other than the initial hiss.
The reptilian stepped forward, pulling its robes up away from its hands, revealing densely muscled forearms, covered in the same orange scales that covered the rest of its body.
It stood, arms outstretched to either side, palms empty and facing upwards. Its muzzle like mouth was now closed, its scarlet tongue darted in and out of the air.
