To keep it alive, she must find a way to make it stop attacking her. And get its attention to focus on her.
'I have a plan!' Ciana said to her avifauna. 'What is it?' Her avifauna asked. 'Watch.' She attack back with trying to talk out of it.
"You want me to kill you?" She asked while being attack near on her right cheek but she prevent it. "Do you know, when I look at your face--you remind me of those useless old face beings."
"Why is that? Should I take that as a good thing?" Now, Ciana focused on being there nothing lively by looking at it. Seems the being could be a duplicate.
The being licked its fangs, "Do not talk high, cause all of you are worthless." Guess, she can not get out of all this talking, the being wants her to kill. Without a doubt, she use an effective way to win over the being. Keeping herself alive.
She exhausted all the possibilities of trying to talk it out with the specie, but it does not matter now.
