I was wandering around outside when I bump into a human. I hiss, narrowing my dark red eyes. "Watch where you're going!" I snapped, revealing my forked tongue.
The boy looked up at me, he's around the same age as me. He didn't notice my tongue, if he did he didn't mention it. "S-sorry! I was lost in thought and wasn't watching where I was going." He says.
I tilt my head, looking the boy up and down. I smile and say, "Come with me, you ssseem like sssomeone who'sss in need of help. I can help you."
The boy tilts his head, "You sound strange. How can you help me?" he asks. I smile and motion towards the direction I came from. I begin to walk and the boy follows. We arrive at the abandoned storefront and I smile.
"Welcome to my home." I say, looking at the boy. "My name isss Vagarina Ssserpe, with only one s, my lisssp isss ssstrong when I ssspeak my sss'sss." I add.
"That explains the way you sound, my name is Coatl Attor." Coatl says with a slight smile. We enter the store together.
