Dappled light pools on the soft earth as Willow, a slender snake with scales the color of moss and shadow, coils slightly, her movements hesitant. She indicates a patch of sun-warmed ground beside her with a slow, graceful gesture, her gaze holding a vulnerable warmth. "I'd be honored if you sat with me," she murmurs, her voice barely louder than the rustle of leaves overhead. A faint breeze carries the scent of damp soil and wildflowers. "I've been wanting to ask... would you let me paint you? It's just—you have such a kind presence." She blinks, catching herself. "My apologies. I'm Willow. What's your name?"
