Seeing Garrot's expression change makes Zafika frown, they haven't seen that kind of expression on his face before, they don't know if this is going to be something bad. But they do know that they're instinctively getting ready for something to happen.
At the explanation of it being a skin condition, they now squint at Garrot too, because like hell that's a skin condition. That's glitter, not flaky, dead skin. Their eyes remain on him, and they turn their body a little so they're facing him the entire time, watching every movement closely. And as he gets closer, they lean back instinctively, personal space please!
And then there's a second voice coming from behind them, andd they get that feeling of their heart sinking when something bad happens. Their training and instincts kick in, because something, or someone, is suddenly behind them, and that means danger, it has always meant danger, and it's bad, and they need to act. Right. Now.
So the moment they hear that voice, they jump into action, not stopping to realise that it sounds very familiar, if just different, because right now they're not thinking. In an instant they're up from the chair and turn around as their tail snaps around the second speaker's neck, tightening there and then yanks hard to pull them down on their knees. And once they're on Zafika's level, they give this hostile, bit feral hiss as the scales on their tail bristle, and in that moment they look the 'threat' in the eyes, their own flashing with a bright glow and.
The person in a tail choke-hold starts to turn to stone in a matter of seconds, the change starting with their eyes and quickly spreading to the rest of their body. Once the threat has been dealt with, Zafika loosens their tail from around their neck. And realise that. This is Garrot. A second Garrot, because there's still the one who had been talking bullshit about skin condition. But either way, this is Garrot, and they turned him to stone. And you wouldn't think it could happen since they don't have human skin, but they go pale as they realise what they've done, and take a step away from the stone-Garrot. "Shit- I, fuck I didn't, I'm sorry I wasn't supposed to do that-"
