Now there were two more people, one of them seemed to know Aten. The other was a seemingly shy girl with a great many plants... He was rather sure neither of them were completely human either.
Jitters was surprised by the sudden outburst from the injured girl. When he saw her draw that sword of hers, he automatically reached for his pocket where his knuckles lay. Luckily, it seemed that the girl was too injured to do any serious damage, she seemed to be in a great deal of pain. Aten seemed to be able to talk a bit of sense into the girl. Jitters watched silently as a different girl, this one surely a few years older seemed to manipulate plants to make a poultice of sorts and then treated the little blonde one.
The healer's methods were certainly unusual, but seeing as he had plucked out bullets from his brother's flesh using some moonshine and tweezers on more than one occasion and had heard of many more unusual methods of healing before, he wasn't to terribly weird-ed out. Simply impressed in his own quiet way.
When the healer took a bow, Jitters clapped for a moment. Then he tipped his hat at her, in a cool tone, one that did not betray any of his inner thoughts, actually it may have sounded like he wasn't impressed at all."You're quite skilled, it's lucky you came along when you did." Jitters made eye contact with the healer, his unnerving yellow-green eyes unblinking "I'm Jitters, could you possibly indulge me with your name Miss...?"
She was rather attractive, a male would have to be blind to not notice this... And Jitters could smell the scent of green things coming from her, hopefully he wouldn't scare her off.

Jitters returned her kind smile with a genuine one of his own, it may have been a bit to wide for some people's taste... He couldn't help that he smiled in such a manner. "Snow... What a pretty name." He looked on with interest as her plants shifted and interwove with each other to form a doppelganger of sorts and started to mimic their mistress. What a peculiar power, it seemed as if the plants themselves were sentient. His face returned to it's previous blank state
Jitter's refocused on the little blonde girl who was now apologizing for causing trouble. "I'm not sure why you're apologizing, you were injured after all." He was going to continue, but a screeching seagull swooped in and made the fatal mistake of coming within an arm's reach of Jitters. He snatched the creature out of the air, and broke it's frail neck with one hand, without a hint a qualm. His reflexes were indeed rather snakelike... A few dark drops of blood dripped from the now still bird's beak, and Jitters frowned slightly as a few got on his shoes. What a pain to clean. Jitters examined the bird, trying to gauge whether he should shift to his snake form and eat it, he was a tad peckish right now...But if he ate it, he'd have to wait for several hours so he could digest it fully before shifting back to his human form.... Decisions, decisions.

Jitters was slightly upset when the plant-being took the bird out of his hands. It was his bird! The flash of possessiveness was short lived; the more sensible part of his brain luckily soon took over. Jitters gratefully accepted a few pieces of fruit and began to neatly consume them.
While he was munching, and feeling slightly relieved he hadn't eaten the bird (their feathers always made him feel bloated), Jitters listened to Snow as she explained her plants to Kya. So she could hear the plants themselves? That was rather interesting indeed...
After he finished eating, he remained almost perfectly still, simply watching Snow talk with Kya. There was something about Kya that worried him... She somehow reminded him of one of his acquaintances, Dominic, who was one of the most solitary people he had ever encountered. But was her solitude self imposed, or orchestrated by someone else? Her eyes were becoming glassy, Kya seemed to be spacing out... To the point where she poured her cup of water into her lap. But that wasn't the only water spilled... A lone tear glinted on her face.
Something shifted in Jitter's eyes, he hated seeing girls of any age cry... Before he could take any immediate action though, the girl ran off. Jitters sat for a moment, then quietly excused himself. "I'll go see if she's alright... It was good to meet all of you." Suitcase in hand, he set off to go find her.
Jitters had exited in the same general direction, but soon realized that he didn't know away around the castle yet... Nor did he have any idea of where she may have been headed. Actually, he was rather sure that she was running around a bit unsure where she was going as well... Hm. Quite the predicament. Jitters pushed his hat a bit further down to shadow his face, he wouldn't want to scare her once he did find her after all. He shivered as white scales rose in sporadic patches, his arm muscles becoming less defined, the whites of his eyes disappeared as they became those of a snake. The most important part though, was what couldn't be seen. Pit vipers have a sensory organ between their nostrils and their eyes that allowed them to sense heat, coupled with a shaped sense of "smell" (it was more like tasting the air really), he could easily track someone over short distances.
A forked tongue peeked out from between his lips. There were so many scents he didn't know, but only one smelled still faintly of bird and plants... Jitters was soon quickly walking in pursuit of the girl. ((Exit to kitchen))
