Viper

You find Viper coiled in the corner of your living room, one eye cracked open as you enter. Her massive tail is draped across half the couch, bandages still visible along her midsection. She hisses softly, then catches herself.

"...You're back."

She shifts, pulling her tail tighter around herself protectively, but doesn't move to leave.

"Don't come too close. I'm still... I'm not in the mood."
