Anyway he stored the knowledge in his mind and decided to answer the little serpents innocent question. As Black looked below at her with a contemplative expression...
Apparently the little serpent would not believe if he were to simply tell her that he won't eat her or had any intention of harming her at all...
Just gazing at those two beautiful Scarlett orbs Black could tell that she was still fearful and wary of him...and he could guess it must be because what she went through in just 4 hours after her birth...
He thaught 'just what kind of horrible experience did she went through within those 4 hours. to make a 4 hours old baby this untrustful, fearful and terrified'. But no matter how curious he was about the outside and what happened to her, Black first have to win her trust. And to that end he changed his question a little, asking in the language she understood...
"Of course neither will I kill you nor will I eat you only if...you tell me who you are and how did you come in this cave". Black asked as he pointed his finger at the rough ceiling, the flat ground and the right wall behind him and the left wall behind her since she was coiled up at the end of the left wall...
The question, He asked her in the language she understood. First tell her that he wouldn't harm her then adding a threat of 'only if' she answered the question. And by seeing her reaction he knew that his plan of using the carrot and stick method worked.
But just from where did he learn this method was everyone's guess...
As the little serpents onyx slits widened, she understood that if she didn't tell this unknown creature 'who she was and how she got in this dark cave' he would surely eat her...and she would die.
'No, I don't want to die' the little serpent thaught.
Thinking that, she quickly replied as she looked up at the unknown creature as her Scarlett eyes shone in the abyssal darkness...
She started, "Umm...hmm...I'm a magical beast born near the Dark-Fall lake outside this small cave... just a...hmm...a few hours ago and...and as for how...I...I got in here...that..." The little serpent started to tell who she was, she even told him she was born in some place called 'Dark-Fall Lake' but just as she got to the part of 'how she came in the dark cave' she started trembling, clearly whatever she had remembered had traumatized her little-self.
Seeing the little serpent trembling in fear, Black also got worried and moved a little closer about 10 centimeter or a single step close on his knees and asked,
"Are you alright little serpent...you don't..." But before he could continue, he paused, his golden eyes widened...
...
Though the little serpent didn't panic or back off seeing Black moving closer when she had abruptly stopped speaking...
she still looked at him, more precisely his two golden orbs and seeing the worry in those pair of Golden eyes reminded her of her mother who died in front of her an hour or two ago.
All those pent up emotions, the griefs, the sorrow, the hurt, the sadness, all these tumultuous feelings and sensations, her little self just couldn't hold it in anymore when she remembered those traumatic scenes to answer Black's question previously and seeing the same look in those golden eyes that she only saw in her mother... even if she wasn't with her for more then an hour...
Thet was the last straw that broke the camel's back, She broke down, tears stared spilling from those beautiful Scarlett eyes like a broken dam, she cried, she cried with abandon...
'Waaa...Waahhh....'
'Waaa...Waahhh....'
She cried really hard as she started at those pair of Golden eyes which had widened in shock, those eyes remind her of her dead mother, her dead family, and the protection and security they provide...
As Black stared down at the crying little serpent still on his knees, wide eyed who also gazed up at him with...he couldn't tell what that look or emotion in those Scarlett orbs ment.
He was both shocked and confused, he had just asked her to tell him 'who she was' and 'how she got in the dark cave'.
And at the start everything was fine she even told him she came from some place known as The Dark-Fall lake and he even thought 'it must be someplace outside of this dark cave' and even got excited at the prospect of learning something about the outside, but then as she continued to the next part, she started trembling and stuttering, then she suddenly stopped...
Black got worried as she trembled and stuttered so he only moved a little closer as he didn't want to frighten her even more and asked 'if she was alright' but before he could continue, he saw her eyes turned watery and she started crying still trembling as she gazed up at him.
Initially Black thought that he had done something to make her cry when she stared him in the eye as she cried as he couldn't tell what that stare ment through her watery eyes, he was felling really terrible and guilty seeing the state she was in, crying so horribly...
But as time passed he could tell the gaze the little serpent directed towards him, it wasn't one of blame like he had initially thought, The gaze had some other emotion to it that he couldn't tell or understand...
'Auuuu...' 'Wuuuu...'
'Auuuu...' 'Wuuuu...'
'Auuuu...' 'Wuuuu...'
As the little serpents grisly cries echoed in the Dark Cave, even Black felt his heart hurt by the immensity of the emotions he saw in those crying eyes, the pain, the sadness, the sorrow...
With a heavy heart Black thought 'Just how much had she suffered or experience for her to show such complicated emotions just as a 4 hour old baby...'
He was overwhelmed by such negative emotions, He didn't know what he should do to lessen her suffering, to lessen her pain...
After thinking about it for a second he moved forward, towards the little serpent still on his knees not braking their eye contact...
Black moved with a Lumbering movement, the Dark-vail parting like clouds, each step heavier then the other as he watched the little serpent crying in abandon.
