Greetings, I have come to ask an important question. At least one that is important to one as myself. If it is of no burden, I would like to ask of you whom became monsters...

[She goes to take a deep breath and then slowly lets it out.]

How did you know what type you were changing into? How soon were you able to figure it out? And for the undesirable instincts.... How did you fight against them?

I still do not know what type I am and I cannot seem to stop the spread of the scales or the pain in my legs, no matter what I do.

Thank you for indulging one as myself.

I couldn't say. I didn't have wings beforehand.

[He can't blame her for not liking the idea. He hadn't been a fan of it either, but he'll admit to spending a lot more time on the floor than most people. He didn't do much running.]

The lower half of your body becomes snake-like as a naga. It takes some adjusting to. I can't even tell you what to expect as far as when each change will happen, as it's different for everyone.

That is okay, my lord. I think that I am the only one with wings before being a monster.

[She didnt like it. It was scary to think of being without her legs. She doesn't show them and tried to keep them covered but still... She would lose them.]

Is my lord a naga as well? How can one get used to losing their legs? How can one keep their modesty when they no longer have their legs?

I am.

It... Well you can still move around. As I said, it takes some getting used to. As for your modesty...

[Most things are, well, tucked away.]

You shouldn't have any trouble wearing a dress or a skirt. I tend to wear my shirts longer.

I see... How long did it take for you to get used to it? To move around without your legs?

[She goes to let out a sigh of relief.]

I am glad to hear that, my lord. It... It probably seemed to be a silly thing to worry about.

A couple weeks at least.

[It might not be a fair comparison. He's something of a weakling with very little arm strength and even less stamina.]

And you'll be turning into a monster. I hardly think it's silly to worry about the changes.

A couple of weeks...

[She goes to ponder a little. How could she get used to such a thing as quickly as that.]

Do you have any advice, my lord? If I can be so bold as to ask.

You will most likely become cold-blooded. If that happens you'll want to seek out a way to regulate your body temperature, especially as the months get colder.

Potions or an enchanted item of some sort might help. A witch will be able to recharge the latter for you.

What will happen if I am not able to?

[It will be good to know what would be the punishment will be if that happens. Just so she will know what the signs are.]

A portion or enchanted item, I understand. When I go out next, I will look for such items.

Then you will need to stay somewhere warm. Reptiles can't regulate their own body temperature. Anything below around 65 degrees Fahrenheit or 18 degrees Celsius will start becoming dangerous for you. It will be more difficult for you to function.

Thank you, my lord for the information. I fear that I don't know much about reptiles. It seems that while I have legs, it would be in my best interest to seek these items out as well as find a witch who will be willing to recharge them if need be.

You should have a few months before all your changes are complete. Hopefully that will give you enough time to adapt.

A few months? That is good news to hear, my lord. That amount of time, I pray that I will have fully adapt by then.

I thank you for your kindness upon this one, my lord.

[Kindness isn't something he's known for, but Near can at least take pity on a fellow naga.]

You're welcome. Though I'm sure you would have eventually gotten plenty without me.

Even so... You took time to answer to indulge my questions and worries.

[She goes to let out a long sigh.]

I am known as Leanne, my lord.

I'm afraid I'm not much of a lord. My name is Eli.

I'm a toymaker.

It is a pleasure and honor to meet you, my lord Eli. Even so, I still wish to give you respect.

A toymaker? What kind of toys do you make?

A variety. Wooden figures, puzzle games. Several other items are outsourced.

Puzzle games?

[Please forgive the pause as she tries to figure out how to ask...]

Would... Would there be a way to get one? A puzzle from you? I can pay for it.

If you want to visit my shop or have someone get it for you. I don't exactly do deliveries.

[If he wasn't so short staffed he might consider it, but his kindness only goes so far.]

Of-Of-Of course I wouldn't expect you to deliver it, my lord Eli! I just wasn't sure if you had a shop or not.

It's called Life's Playthings. You can find it in the northeast section of the shopping district.

There's a brightly colored sign out front so it's hard to miss.

Thank you, when I go a supply trip I will be sure to go in and purchase some items.

Especially with the type of sign that it has.

Your business would be appreciated.

It will be the least I can do. I look forward to shopping there.

If you do get lost, you can contact me again.
