Catherine smiled arrongant to the reptile. You can hiss as much as you want; it's not you playing here!, she saied to the mamba, that replied her arrogant eyes with an annoyed one.
Without loooking to the table, she moved slowly the piece, increasing the snake's tension. The snake couldn't show how angry it was by facial expressions, but it could by the bruning eyes and the enraged hiss coming out of its pitch black mouth, the big and thin fangs showing out. She grabbed his piece with two claws and placed hers in the square transversal to his, accoring to her movement. The snake rolled the eyes, but in a very annoyed way.
After their -almost- silent communication, she turned back to her leader, waiting for his next move. His piece was now laying in her right side of the wooden board, off the game. Before he could get confused or had to ask, she decided to explaine why the Spirit Guide's behaviour. Sorry for Saw's actions; we play checkers a lot, and he is easily angered when he makes a bad move. And, as it seems, when he sees someone making them as well, she saied, and then realized the other way her phrase could be interpreted. But I'm not saying your move was so bad. he overreacted -as usual-, she saied, glacing to the snake after continuing -but you're doing good for your first game, she ended with a tender smile, as if to encourage him.
