Looking around the market square you weigh up which race may be best to approach, you don’t know the customs of this land and think it best to step back so as not to get in anyone’s way. In moving back your leg catches on something, sending you balling into a person you hadn’t seen behind you.
You hear the smashing of glass as you fall to the floor, taking the other person with you. “Watch yourssself, idiot!” You hear as the person you bumped into begins to raise above you from the ground.
Taking in the situation you realise the creature before is one of the lamia you had spotted earlier, and the thing you had tripped on was her tail. The woman looks enraged, currently assessing the broken glass lying around you, picking out vials that had survived the fall andcursing under her breath.
“You’d best be ready to pay a hefty price for the damages you... you...” see looks over you more curiously this time and it dawns on you that humans might not be a common race here. “...ssspecimen” she says finally, with a tone that sends a chill up your spine.
You feel a tail wrap around your ankles and she moves in closer, giving you a better view of her lithe figure. A long green snake tail runs from your ankles to just below her hips, where it transitions to seemingly human skin, though it’s hard to tell through the skirt like clothing where the scales end and the skin begins, some scales do run slightly higher up her sides blending into her waist.
Her exposed midriff has a simple belt around it, a collection of vials and medical looking implements hanging from it, however it is overshadowed by two large breasts, tightly bound in a wrap it’s hard to tell what their true size is, but you suspect that the strips of cloth are struggling to restrain them.
Her yellow eyes seem to scan every inch of your body from behind a few dark locks of hair that have slipped free from a tight bun. A forked tongue sneaks out between her breaths and you make out two glistening fangs just behind her lips, and swear you see her salivating slightly as she sized you up.
“You are most curioussss, I’ve not had a chance to study a race such as yours. You will come with me to study as compensation for the damage you incurred” she says definitively, seemingly not caring for your input on the manner.
Tail still wrapped around your feet you weigh up your options.
