*Thasinia's little eyes widened upon the change Nira underwent, her jaw nearly dropping upon this sight. That long tail with those red scales, how the thickness of the tail in certain areas looked and how the thinness in certain areas looked. Curvy. Her eyes took in every detail of Nira's newly formed tail and she never took her eyes off the tail once.

One would think she was shocked, no, terrified. But when Thasi's eyes looked up and met with Nira's, a big smile grew on her face.

**"Snake girl!"** She whispered slightly but also somewhat exclaimed happily.

Thasinia likes snakes.

Thasi kneeled down beside the tail and she investigated it closer, reaching a hand out and gently caressing down along her scales. She liked how snakes felt, their scales were awesome. She then looked up at Nira and she quickly stood up.

**"I sorry, snake skin look and feel nice. Your scales are pretty! Why keep it hidden?"** She tilted her head a little bit to the side in curiosity.

In her mind, things as unique as having a literal snake half should be embraced. She embraces the little freckles along her face and arms, why was this such a bad thing? It's not like she was some Medusa or something.*

*Nira was honestly surprised on how Thasinia had reacted to her transformation, it was less out of the usual disgust that she had seen with judgmental macens and more of a childlike excitement that was... Really cute actually. Was this Naga ever going to say such a thing towards the other? No probably not, but that didn't mean that she wasn't happy to be reacted to in a lighter note* "Oh don't worry about touching May scales or anything, I really don't mind"


*As for why Nira kept her lower half hidden, well she wasn't ashamed of her lower half nor was she embarrassed by it or anything of the such. It was mainly because the largest group of inhabitants of the city, macens, were more likely to trust blacksmiths of their kind more than a beastkin like her. So, she kept her lower half hidden for the sole reason of business... There was also the fact that transforming her snake half into legs was more compact, but that was a lesser reason* "As for why I keep this part of me hidden, well it's mostly because when people see that their tools are made by a race other than their own, they tend not to trust the quality I guess... It sorta hurts business so I just eliminate the problem"

*Nira honestly wished that her appearance wouldn't effect her business or anything like that, but that sadly wasn't the case... That was no problem though as there was a fix and she had been living with such for a few years now. Besides for the effects on her business, Nira couldn't really care less about how others saw her... Unless it was in a positive light like Thasinia had shown just now, she really really appreciated that*
Patty
*Thasinia seemed to genuinely get a little bit angered. She put her hands on her hips like a sassy little girl and she puffed her cheeks out a bit while frowning before she spoke.

**"It should not bother customers! They should appreciate foreign crafts, not dismiss them!"**

The idea that people would EVER think an object is of poor quality simply because someone who isn't a macen made it sounded incredibly preposterous to her. Not everything is authentically made from Macens, for example her longbow, which she had failed to bring with her on her adventure, was made by a wood elf. Herself. A mere Macen wouldn't be able to craft such a fine weapon.

Alas, Thasinia isn't a racist, but hearing news like this would drive her to become one. But she's better than that.

**"I sorry for customer preference you change such beauty of yourself. It not fair."**

To her it wasn't fair. Alas, who is she to say this? She hasn't really had a lot of contact with the bi-pedal world, but maybe judgements like this is what makes her favor animals. Thasinia suddenly perked up and she bounced once before relaxing on the spot.

**"Let's go to your home! If you are not busy with work, you can let your tail out free and be happy!"***
Mark
*Nira couldn't help but let out a small chuckle when she saw Thasi's reactions to her statements before, it was honestly a little funny but definitely a tad bit cute to see someone at her stature get so worked up one something like this. It wasn't like Nira disagreed with what the other said though, no she agreed quite a bit but before she could really speak up, Thasinia had mentioned actually heading to Nira's house. That was fine by this Naga as it was best that they waste little time after all* "Well I can tell you that I am not busy with any work so looks like I'll be keeping my tail out for now. As for heading to me home, follow me"

*And with that, Nira had turned and started to slither towards the path that lead to her home, she made sure that Thasinia was following beforehand first though. In all reality, it had been ages since Nira had company over in quite a bit of time. This was no problem though, as Nira usually kept things tidy in her home... Minus her forge which was almost always messy, but no one was really going to go there... Hopefully.*

*Besides that all another thing had happened, a small Swallow, which seemingly had flown from the direction of the city, went and landed on Nira's shoulder. This Swalloe was no other than Nira's pet bird which she aptly named Speck, after the black specks that dotted the bird's brown feathers. Now for now the bird was pretty silent, but Nira knew that it was only time until this bird thought it best that it speak up and talk smack about whatever it comes across...*

*Nevertheless, they were now on their way to Nira's home!*
Patty
*Thasinia actually stepped beside Nira, her eyes immediately caught on the swallow that had come to join them on their journey. Her eyes widened at the bird and she smiled more, suddenly immensely excited to meet the bird.

**"Oh, is this your companion?"** She asked before she gave a little wave to the swallow. **"Hello, little bird companion!"** She smiled widely at the bird.

Thasinia could talk to animals, of a low level. Neither Nira nor her swallow companion would know this, especially considering the bird hasn't spoken yet. Regardless, Thasi was incredibly interested in the bird. She liked birds, though her specialty was reptiles and arachnids. Bigger animals were okay, not comfortable for her, but they would do.

Thasi's eyes looked up to meet Nira's eyes.

**"What is your lovely feathered friend's name, Nira?"**

Adorably, Thasinia rolled her 'R' with each word she said containing the letter. It made Nira's name sound beautifully foreign, like it came from wherever Thasinia originally came from.

Regardless, Thasi brought a hand close to the swallow in an attempt to scratch under the bird's beak. Most birds like that, at least the ones in the wild did.*
Mark
*Nira knew immediately that she was gonna get an earful from the bird when Thasi had reached to pet it, what she didn't know that that the elf could understand what birds like Speck were saying... All in all, this may not turn out well.* 

"Watch where you are reachin you long eared freak!" *This is what the harmless looking bird had said just as it flapped its way up over Nira's head onto her other shoulder. With this statement alone, it should have been made known that this bird was a little shit. The deadpan look that Nira had upon her face even showed that this was a common occurrence... Though the fact that Thasinia could probably understand the bird, well that was something that Nira was not prepared for at all. Well, that bridge could be crossed when she came across it though* 

"I-err-yeah the bird's name is Specky and honestly I'm sorta stuck with her"
*The story in which Nira got stuck with this bird was fairly cliche, she found a sick chick and nursed it to health. This chick then grew up into a healthy sparrow and would not leave Nira, soon after that Nira soon could actually understand what the tweets of the sparrow meant and well... Most of it was shit talking, it wasn't like Nira could change this fact or get rid of the bird, that would just be mean and cruel... Despite obvious reasons on why she should. Other than such, Nira continued to walk a path towards her home with Speck on her shoulder and Thasinia following along*
