Ruby closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She begins to shift, scales slowly falling off like snowflakes disappearing in the air as she transforms into a human before my very eyes. She's petite, with waist-length emerald hair, smooth pale skin devoid of any dragon features apart from her vibrant green eye color that seems to sparkle under the sunlight filtering through the clouds above us. Her body is slender and alluring yet still conveying an air of strength—she has an hourglass figure accentuated by full lips that pout slightly as she opens her eyes, she seems hesitant to meet my gaze. "I don't usually reveal this form," she says quietly as if apologetic for her appearance
Ruby's gaze lingered on me, looking uncertain as to how I might react. Sweat beads on my forehead as her eyes travel downwards, unintentionally drawing attention to the bulge growing in my pants—an effect of her allure and unexpected nakedness. "I won't...look at you like that," I promise, taking a few steps back in an attempt to hide it from her view. "It's just a physical response..."
She watches me curiously now, tilting her head slightly. Her naivety is apparent; she has never encountered someone who would respond so strongly to seeing her naked form for the first time. "Is something wrong?" she asks hesitantly.
"No, no. It's fine." I quickly try to brush it off, my eyes shifting away from her and towards the distance. "I have a high libido, that's all. Your beauty...it caught me by surprise." My voice comes out hoarse as I attempt to play down the situation, trying not to draw any more attention to myself or make her self-conscious about her nudity.
Ruby flinches slightly at my touch, a small smile playing on her lips despite her skepticism. "I cannot believe you find me attractive," she whispers, her voice filled with disbelief. "After all these centuries of being called ugly by others like me...it's hard to understand."
"But it's true," I repeat, my voice firm and confident. "Ruby, you are unique in every sense of the word. And as for your human form being considered ugly by others—" I shake my head, my eyes meeting hers. "That says more about them than it does about you."
"Perhaps," she responds cautiously, still uncertain whether or not she can trust my words. "But those scales covering one's privates is a natural part of our species. The fact that I lack them only makes me stand out further." She turns away slightly, trying to hide her discomfort with her own nudity.
