The group was unsure at first what Clark was doing. That was until they saw that he was speaking to a beast wrapped around the icy rafters above them in the hallway. The frozen river serpent clearly saw and heard Clark though.
As the group waited watching Clark who had moved ahead, the frozen river serpent slowly lowered its large body toward Clark without falling to the ground. With a few flicks of its tongue, the frozen rover serpent memorized their scents before looking at Clark dead in the eyes. The feeling between them portrayed the absolute fact that this beast would not hesitate to end them if even the slightest issue was to occur.
