บท 192: Objection!

Ophelia stared at the purple scaled serpent in front of her. 

They were in the middle of their speech lessons, where she would say a phrase in their 'snake tongue' and try to get her to understand its meaning.

[Now, try to repeat after me.] Ophelia said.

'She' nodded, but her eyes strayed towards the stack of fruits, the hiss out of her mouth barely coherent as she gobbled down one of the fruits. 

Ophelia snapped. [No. Pay attention!]

The mirrored snake curled up once more, her dark eyes downcast and pitiful.

Why did it seem like she was the bad guy who was forcing her to study?

Typhon who was beside her sighed. [Take it easy, it will take some time.]

[Easy?] she hissed at him. [Why don't you stop being a distraction and be serious too!]

You would think that since 'she' was also a snake like them, she would understand their language easily, but that was not the case.
