**"O-O-Onikzaki... Enma..."**

*H-HEEEEEEEEEEE*

 Enma almost squealed in the moment as the terrifying beast would peer closer at him, its cold breath brushing across his face which made him almost sick from fear. Body unable to move to its strength as his blade and arm were stuck. At that point, his heart couldn't stop beating as the adrenaline had pumped throughout his body. Until... It spoke a name?

 "Rai... Zel?"

 The smile it displayed was scary, however, endearing in a way. Enma would audibly gulp, before awkwardly smiling back, hoping the serpent was nice enough to not eat him. The tighter coiling of the beast would force the air out of him as his face turned blue, almost suffocating before it loosened again.

*INHALE!*

"Bhaaaaa! Haa~ Haa~ Haa~"

**"Nice to meet... You... Edma.."**

*Gulp*

*Is it... Introducing itself?*

 "Umm- Nice to meet you too? R-Raizel?"

 It was a bone-chilling experience, one that definitely left him mentally exhausted. He felt like his life would be in danger if he didn't make sure the serpent before him stayed in a good mood.

Raizel's mouth pulled into a broader grin before opening her maw wide like a spring trap before gently grasping him across the waste. Her sharp thornlike teeth are dulled down in a comfortable texture to not pierce the poor newcomer. 
She was indeed very happy to encounter such a kind person who stood their ground so bravely! 

Sadly, the way she interpreted his expression and state of shock as something that she didn't think as fear. There were plenty of aloof, docile and strangely calm students within the prison school that made it difficult for her to understand 'normality.'

*"Hmmm-Hmmm!"* Raizel hummed to mimic Enma's little melody.

Like a mouse hanging from a cat's maw, Raizel spirits him away down the hallway with a swift, graceful crawl along the walls, ceiling and floor.
With a swift skitter across the smooth exterior, the contracting muscles that run along her snake-like body help her push along the surface. The feet and claw-like hands have tiny setae on the pads which prevent her from slipping and falling. It was a new trick that she had learned from watching Animal Geographic to get a grasp of the creature's anatomy.

*Click! Clack! Click! Click!*

The sounds of her claws echoed when she made her way towards a place that appeared to be an office.

She lowered her head to set him onto the floor where she began nudging him forward with her snout. "Enma see the office!" Rai growled, now wiggling the end of her tail. "We friendz?"
Gene
It seemed like the serpent was in a good mood! Enma's calm serenity had helped him stay alive another day- Wait, why was she grinning? Wait a second, her mouth is coming towards him. Oh no, oh no no no, Enma started to panic, his struggle was now apparent as he tried to break free from the coil. He floundered, squealing, up until the mouth grabbed him he screamed.

"AHHHHH!- Ah- Ah?"

 

It didn't hurt? The jaws on his waist, they were blunt. A head tilt in confusion would occur as Enma would look around him to see the beast humming about whilst crawling around the hallways, taking Enma away on some sort of exodus. At this point, he had deducted that maybe this serpent beast simply got curious with the new person around. Placing his fingers on his chin, he wondered what exactly the beast was. He had never seen such a unique creature, and only heard of similar ones in folklore. Then again, he himself was a human who could control flames, that was already unusual to begin with. 

The clicking of its claws was quite eerie and scary, however Enma soon got used to it. The fact that he got used to a serpent clamping him down in its jaws was a weird occurence, but nonetheless he'd eventually arrive in front of an office. Having been finally lowered down, the boy regained his bearings as he fumbled about.

 "An office? Is this the principals office?"

**"We friendz?" **

Oh- What the heck! Enma hadn't expect that whatsoever. Staring at the creature, he was quite scared of it at first. Actually, he was still scared of it, however, seeing as it just wanted friend. Enma tried his best to calm himself, returning with a smile.

 "Umm- Yeah, we can be friends."
Marsha
Her ears perked and her glowing pale eyes lit up. *"We're friends?" Yesss!"* She let out a gleeful hiss when she lowered her head close to the floor. The rest of her slender frame swayed with much joy while shimmering sunlight glimmered from the blue tribal markings.

Raizel did her best to not bump into the walls or cause the floor to shake when she wagged the end of her tail once again. The smooth antlers barely scraped the ceiling when she raised her head to look down at Enma. Her round slitted eyes glowed pale with a crisp amusement that smiled at the young man. She was satisfied with their meet and greet that left a pleasant flutter in her chest.

*"Shall we meet again?"* Raizel asked, giving him a hopeful look. This time her voice did not sound intimidating, but rather almost normal before a snarl escaped her maw. She still has much practice to do before mastering proper speech in this form. It is always a challenge for Raizel to not let out a faint growl when she breathed. Even the cold cloud of air exhaled from her mouth or nose cannot be helped by her supernatural traits.

Patiently, she waits in anticipation for Enma's response.

**"We're friends? Yesss!" **

 "Ahaha... Yeah!"

 He'd sheepishly scratch the back of his head, awkwardly smiling and giggling alongside the serpent as it would happily lower its head and sway its body. Although its appearance was much like that of a terrifying dragon, its mannerisms almost reminded him of a dog. A rather large dog... With claws... Sharp teeth... Antlers and scales... And a lot of blue tribal markings too... It was somewhat endearing however, witnessing such a beast who commands great power acting like a house pet. When it rose up to meet Enma with a smile, he'd smile back having realized that Raizel meant no harm.

 "Oh- Umm, sure. If we ever see each other again."

 It started to grow on him how Raizel would act so innocently when Enma agreed to what she said. Though the snarl would often give his spine a good shiver. It seemed like it wasn't very fluent in speaking, from what Enma could interpret however. He didn't quite mind meeting Raizel again, though at the same thing, his eyes wandered upwards as he reminisce how she coiled around him and played him like a doll earlier in their meeting. 

*Definitely don't want that part happening again...*

 "Maybe next time, you could perhaps not coil around me?"
Marsha
*"Eh? What? That was a hug!"* Her head tilts in such an angle that her pointed ears shift to the other side of her head. *"My mum does that and I said hi!"*

She moves her mouth a bit to try to adjust to the strange sensation of the muscles when she rubbed it with her claw-like hand. Her jaw clicked as she rolled her tongue in her maw to try to get the feel of the English language. It was much easier communicating in her old dead language that is only remembered by very few elders from the village. 

*"I'll come find you later,"* Rai said, a growl trickled after. *"Got your scent. We will meet later!"* Her goofy smile returned again with her snout tilted up towards the ceiling with a playful look in her eyes.* "You're like me! Tradition!? We will talk more later!"*
Raizel twirled happily in one spot with her claws clicking against the floor. Her tail was almost wind in a twist with her large frame within it. 

*We shall meet again! Bye-bye!"* And the danger noodles squiggle away in a serpentine fashion when she slides across the floor before stopping near the corner. She raises her upper body to turn to Enma a kind wave by wiggling her claws like fingers. Then she turns away to disappear out of view when she rounds the corner.
