<i>"Maybe they... gas in their bones?"</i>The royal naga answered Juleaan's quizzical gaze with a dumbfounded expression. It was one of the few times, perhaps even the first time for some, that the group could witness Maia slipping out of her innocent maiden character.<i>"How would it get in there? How would it stay in there?! Bones are porous yes but bone marrow serves it's own critical purpose."</i>Maia sighed, composing herself.<i> "Gas in hollow bones seems unlikely, but you'd need to know their mass before you could calculate their lift. Before we get into big theories, maybe we should catch one. Don't you think so too? Mhmmm?"</i>Maia suggested with a sweet smile.<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/><i>"Well, doctor Umbra, I'll trust your word on it. You know far more than me about these leaves."</i>Maia chuckled softly.<i>"Allegoria is mostly water yes, but it still has several landmasses. Though I didn't get to leave the palace that often back then so I can't say I have much firsthand experience with my planet's flora."</i>The water naga fell silent, focusing on the climb rather then the memories from back then.<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/>When Evy popped up when Maia and Alicia were talking, the water snake couldn't help but chuckle softly.<i>"Are~ Are~ Evy, Miss Miranda's posterior is quite cute, and mine isn't that big, is it?" </i>Genuine concern suddenly slipped in Maia's words as she glanced at her shapely rear where snake and humanoid half met.<i> "It's not fat, right?" </i>Just like most naga, Maia was blessed with a very slender waist and wide hips. It was a figure that would be very appreciated in many places in the universe. That the stunningly beautiful naga lacked confidence is her good looks was both quite charming and rather amusing.<br/><i><br/>
"Are~, you can't be comfortable on the floor like that though."</i>Maia curled her tail in front of her to form a big, bulgy bed. She patted her coils playfully while smiling at Alicia.<i>"Come come, there's few things more comfortable in the galaxy than a naga's tail. My suit makes it perfectly safe."</i>If Alicia accepted Maia's offer, she'd be surprised to learn that the suit covering Maia was surprisingly dry despite the humid athmosphere. The stillsuit likely absorbing water from the air around it. Not only that, but Maia's tail had a relaxing warmth to it and a surprising amount of yield that promised all the comfort of a waterbed.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
