Silas' heightened senses were not overlooked by Spectra. She followed his line of sight out of curiosity rather than suspicion. What could possibly be so distracting to draw his attention away from her? What was there drew sweet smile across her lips, lips which soon pursed coyly.
She didn't float straight into Hood's arms, though she swayed like a lily pad hovering on slightly disturbed water. Her very skin itched to slither away from the two men that had drawn her venomous ritual these last few minutes, but rather than abandon two potential meals in lieu of a third, she would prefer retreat to the center of the web and watch the flies kill off each other.
Although it wasn't a fair comparison. If Silas and Yuri were flies and she the spider spinning their web, then Hood was a terrifying locust buzzing the perimeter smart enough to avoid the web, but still sweep in for a meal itself. As Silas backed up, Yuri ran his mouth, and Spectra shot him a reassuring smile that he continue the tirade. How would Hood handle this? Swat him away with barely a lift of a finger? Or ignore him for the insect he was? How exciting!
"I do love raspberries,"
Spectra blinked those large, tilted eyes that swam in green mirth. There was a movement hidden beneath the swamp-like color of her irises. She would accompany him away, of course, but waited to allow him the show of dominance he may or may not display.
