[Dara continues to watch silently from above as the madness breaks out as screams. Not unusual when it comes to her victims. The part that has her raising an eyebrow is that the young man doesn't flee. Typically the average person would be sprinting away-- did she somehow not control the concentration well enough? The way he grabs at his chest is almost similar to when bones are meant to break, but his chest? Usually it's the arms or legs to be targeted first.
...Maybe she shouldn't be surprised that a person who's quick to get stabby tried to also aim an arrow at her.
Richard poses a certain type of mystery with his reaction. The majority of people who stumbled upon her territory were not necessarily the violent OR armed type. Another factor could be that they're from different cultures; two worlds colliding is one thing, but ignoring that, he still pings as a foreigner in her brain. The part of her that thirsts for knowledge wants to experiment. And considering her recent discovery and following mood, Dara gives into that temptation by raising a hand to manipulate more--
Richard should be so thankful for his animal companion. Catching Whitey from the corner of her eye makes the curse god freeze and fully turn her attention to him. Subsequently, the miasma production fades quickly while Dara squints at the boar. Not a sign of aggression! More...confused than anything?]
Why do you look so familiar? [A headtilt as she stares at the pet.] You'd think I would've remembered that I'd seen you before, but I can't place it.
[WHO CARES ABOUT RICHARD WHEN Whitey is so much more interesting!!! Dara slips down from her perch with the giant serpent tail splitting and braiding into leg forms. She certainly isn't going to chase the boar (instead choosing to take a seat on the ground), but she sure is showing her back to Richard again. From the god's perspective, he isn't enough of a threat when he can be driven mad so easily.
Whitey on the other hand is a fun mystery. She has limited ability to communicate with the animals living within her territory, but she hasn't felt the need to try it out here.]
