The Basilisk's hiss became even deeper. It'd expected the immediate death of the boy but instead it continued to stand before him eventually changing some so that he was able to stare back. What should have been an instant win became something more than a standoff. "GORGON!!!~~~~~" came a disgruntled hiss from the large beast. It seemed that Athos thought this creature ugly and it understood enough of what he said to scoff at the comment. "You look like a tasty little morsel!~" and with that the Basilisk would immediately try to snap up the young man within its jaws aiming to eat the young man, even if it didn't succeed in this, contact with anything in its mouth would lead to a toxic venom being introduced to his person. Regardless of this situation, it seemed that the Basilisk wasn't at all concerned, many had come to kill it and none had succeeded.

Meanwhile, Deianira continued to watch from a great distance as the large beast rose, but beyond this point, it seemed that she now knew what Athos had been busy hiding and why he preferred to be alone. 'Oh, he's a Gorgon probably mixed with some sort of water nymph... that makes sense. Probably has a petrifying stare... so much sense is made by this.' she thought as she refilled her now empty cup, again it was just nectar, which she seemed to be enjoying like nothing else. This lonely boy was likely a strange mix of things, but by Deianira's approximation it still didn't really account for his lack of social skills.
