Skales had nothing in particular to do that day. He just slithered on through the underground sanctuary nonchalantly, only stopping occasionally to survey the activities of the other serpentine.

His uneventful tread, however, was interrupted when he noticed two male hypnobrai making inappropriate jeers at a nearby female hypnobrai.

Yeah, real civilized, he thought, rolling his eyes. He was about to slither over and put an end to it when the unexpected happened.

Seemingly fed up with the remarks, the pink hypnobrai marched right up to the males. Before another word could leave their mouths, she punched one of them to the ground, effectively silencing both of them. After gathering their bearings, the two males fled from her like she was the resurrection of the Great Devourer itself.

Skales stood there in a stupor, even as the female had gone on with her business. It was only after she had disappeared from view that the general had snapped out of it, a love-struck smile spreading across his face.

"What a woman," he muttered.
