❝ is something wrong? ❞ far be it for the roaming perfumer to pry too deeply into the affairs of the volcano manor, doubly so when said affairs belong to one of the two ladies that manage the whole thing. yet rya hasn't said much of anything today, not even while watching him brew aromatics and other potent tonics in the small space he's been alotted for his services to the recusants. definitely more than a passing strange, that. crow tilts his head towards her consideringly, grey eyes narrowed with something that might just be concern as he rasps. ❝ not like ya. seemed a mouse, quiet as. what's on ya mind. ❞

" Oh..." the presence snaps the young woman out of deep labyrinths of her thoughts. Her gaze turns towards his voice, but the gaze of the green eyes seems almost.. empty. Moving as if searching a spot to focus.

His conclusion would be correct: Rya had always been there, hosting the champions and visitors of the manor - almost as if afraid of missing out of interaction.

Now, she had withdrawn from others to far quieter corner, accompanied by her own silence. How tired she must seem right now, and still trying to wear her best smile as if to say: 'don't worry about me'.

But that smile is far smaller, than her genuine one.

To confirm his words, she sighs with a nod. No, she isn't feeling well even if it was only apparent in her current demeanor. Yet, it wasn't anything strange or extraordinary. To Rya.

" You have sharp eyes." She comments with another small smile, shaking her head slightly. " I am not feeling too well... Forgive me for concerning you. This happens from time to time... ever since I was born I have these passing moments I feel the World gets blurry... But I assure you. It lasts a mere week and then, I will be just fine. "

best snake girl rya

Okay but Zorayas being happy with what she is and all snakes that exist - the potential to bond with Messmer in positive manner without prejudices has a place in my heart.

Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga (1972)

[zcrayas]

Whatever Rya puzzled her origin beginning would have been actually more terrible than reality. I still do believe she made her own conclusion out of horrors she saw.

She never found her amnion in holiest place of the temple, Tarnished already gave it to her. So we don't really know how she figured this ritual thing? Like did someone tell her or was she just so shocked of all torture. Maybe there were cut open people / albinaurics etc. and all unimaginable studies done she put one to one together.

I still stand with the idea of Rykard abandoning his humanity and making pact with the Serpent, melding with it, leading the serpent producing man serpent eggs / amnions... however this hybrid works.

And Zorayas clearly is affected with rune or somehow infused with demigod features. No other serpent in Gelmir seems to have that hue of red. Or she was blessed separately by firegod or something. Maybe she was first born. More reasons Tanith would adopt her out of all of those serpents. Maybe she is the eldest and other serpents came to be much later? I mean even her existence is a big middle finger to everything Golden Order represents. A child born out of this unholy union with a serpent.

Rya is aware they are against Erdtree and its supporters. Hearing the fact she would be born of Lord and Serpent after union shouldn't be as shocking as whatever she thought.

[zcrayas]

Rya most likely has had everything and more she ever needed. Only child... spoiled with pretty clothes, toys and anything noble woman could think of. But by personality, she does value generosity. I feel she had always the opposite problem. Lack of friends of her age. Accompanied only by adults. A playmate would have been her biggest wish - to play with her things together.
