Now that Heesh'Nha discovered she can use Sissaal as a basis for communication with the prisonor she tries to explain what she is doing here in the lost city while also trying to get information about the prisoner themselves, though while it was faster than learnign an entirely new langauge it was not as easy as it might be as she found some words were different in their meaning or pronunciation. Meanwhile the being had been observing her quietly between questions with a curious expression on it's face, or at least as far as one could tell with serpent and lizard folk who'se faces tended to not show expressions well. Then it seemed to notice Heesh'Nha's rings, which she never stopped wearing since her accidental exile, and were a sign of her royal position in serpent folk culture.

The being pointed at her rings then raised it's own hand with it's back towards Heesh'Nha, then pointed at it's own rings with it's other hand. "Ssshow!" was all it said with a touch of excitement in it's voice. Puzzled she showed her rings to the being, now noticing it too wore rings in similar fasion of two rings and a thumb ring, although it's rings were a bit more fancy with two small pieces of the dark crystals set in each. Both of them stood there in silent shock at this strange coincidence but it was the being who broke the silence first lowerign it's head slightly and lifting it's left hand, angled down slightly with the fingers curled inward. A gesture that Heesh'Nha immediately recognised as the formal greeting between leaders of the serpent tribes. Normally she would supposed to be to introduce herself as the guest first before the other leader with introduce themselves in the same way to indicate they accepted her as a guest, the inward claws and lowered head being a sign of peace like saying "I keep my fangs and claws to myself" Though before she could respond properly the beign spoke it's introduction first.

"Aakaama Ssskan Nagasssa, Ksssuul Nagadrasssiil" Aakaama then stared at her awaiting her response while she regained her composure, her hand still trembling lightly ass he touched knuckles with Aakaama and repeated the ceremonial gestures "Heesh'Nha Xan Ssathriss, Xul Ssithrak" Stating her name, tribe and city in return the greeting was formally over and they were supposed to break contact but both had the same surreal feeling in this moment as two beings so different yet the same in some way. Could Heesh'Nha have discovered an ancient ancestor here? A missing link between serpents and dragons which all serpents believed thet descended from?
