June wandered through the jungle, looking for rare plants or animals to snap a photo of with the camera hung around her neck. Being a fairly naive tourist, she was under-dressed for the occasion, wearing just jeans, sandals and a old t-shirt that was a bit too small for her now, revealing a small strip of her tummy with tufts of soft belly fur poking out. Her ears wagged happily as she went along without a care in the world. She even had her earpods in, humming along to the song she was listening to - something very unwise to do in a treacherous wilderness where the slightest sound might indicate an oncoming predator. Since nothing bad had happened to her before though - at least, so far as she was aware - she didn't expect anything bad to happen to her now.

Verona heard a familiar sound however at the same time unusual sound. Verona was a lamia shapeshifter leaping through the trees. The strange sound getting louder and louder as she gor closer. To Verona it definitely sounds like a young woman. Verona got closer and closer to the young lass till she was in veiw. Getting a good look from her from a downward behind angel Verona could tell she was furry of some kind.
Intruiged Verona wanted to tease the young lass. Verona changed from a half human half snake into a full grown python. Verona couldnt help but grin as the teasing began. Verona lowered her tail down behind the young lass and and tail tip lightly tapped her shoulder enough for the young lass to notice. Before the young lass could turn around Verona pulled her tail tip up beforethe young lass saw anything

June felt a tap out of nowhere on her shoulder, and whipped round to see who was there, breathing heavily - only to find nothing. A look of worry passed over June's face, and she pulled her earbuds out to listen for what might be out there - only silence and the distance chirping of birds could be heard. Her ears twitched as she strained, but no other sounds revealed themselves. She decided to continue on, but stowed her mp3 player and earbuds in her backpack now, made wary by the strange experience.

Verona grinned as she made the young lass caucious. Verona licked her lips and waited a good five minutes before tapping June's other shoulder. When June however turned around this time Verona was behind her. Verona then placed her snake tail right ontop of June's shoulders much like a necklace. Allowing her body kind of fall in fromt of June resting in front of her. The cool scales of Verona's tail was actually keeping the furry lass cool from the hear. Verona waited to see how the girl would respond first before revealing her python head and human speach see if she was comfortable with a python

June yelped in shock as she turned to find a python facing her. "Oh my god - you scared me! Just another animal, though." She said, thinking she was only pretending to talk to the python, unaware of it's true nature. As the tail came to rest on her shoulders, though, June became uncomfortable again and tried to lift the coils off. "Uhh - no no, time to let me go now little guy..." She said nervously as she kept trying to remove the coils, incorrectly guessing the python's gender.

Verona couldnt help but giggle as June thought she was a guy python. Then suddenly Verona popped her head into view. "What dont you like my coils young lass?" Verona spoke in a friendly tone as if greeting someone however Verona's voice was also calm and relaxed showed no signs of hostility. Verona used her tail tip to lightly tap June's shoulder like before so June knew it was her that teasing her.

"What the hell?! Am I dreaming?" June asked as a talking head came out of the python. She pinched herself to make sure - not a dream. Maybe a hallucination? As June's shoulder was tapped by this mysterious entity, fear returned to June's eyes. This... Thing had been watching her, following her... For how long? For what purpose? June was beginning to tremble in terror as she kept trying to get the coils off of her shoulders, more desperately now.

Verona couldnt help but sigh in disappointment at the young girl. "Oh just relax will you?" Verona said clearly not making it easy for young lass to get away. Whenever June pushed a coil off of her Verona kept on putting it back on around her. "I wont hurt you. Or eat you. I just want some company besides this thing around your neck." Verona used her tail tip to point at the camera. "What is this strange object you have beautiful girl?" Verona said im a flirtacious tone to get the girls attention hoping to get her calm down with some flirting.

"R-relax? But you're - you're - a thing! Shapeshifter, I guess - I thought that sort of thing was just fiction!" June exclaimed, finally giving up getting rid of the coil around her shoulders as it just got flung right back onto her. "B-beautifuL? W-well, that's a camera... It takes, um, photographs." June explained, abashed but also confused. What did a shapeshifter find attractive, exactly? Perhaps it was just a compliment to get on her good side.

Verona couldnt help buut giggle at June's naivety was refreshing. "My name is Verona. I couldnt help but be drawn to such a lovely girl. May i ask your name?" Verona asked politely and gave a light bow with her head to properly greet herself. "A canera you say huh? You take pictures?" Verona asked confused eyeing the object and booping it with her snout. "Would you like to take a picture of me?" Verona asked with a giggle not sure what exactly taking pictures meant to June

"I guess I can tell you my name... I'm called June. Nice to, uh, meet you." She answered awkwardly, copying Verona's head bow. She fidgeted nervously at the continued praise - 'lovely girl' - she wasn't really used to it. Not to the compliments as such, but hearing them so soon after meeting a stranger, it was certainly odd. Well, the whole situation was utterly bizarre anyways, she reminded herself. "Yes, it captures images from light reflecting into the lens - ah, yeah, I'll snap a photo of you, that will demonstrate it well." June quickly returned to familiar territory as she explained the camera to this strange Verona person. With all the weirdness going on, it felt good to talk about something familiar - taking a pace back, she raised the camera to her eye, and with a click of the button and a flash, she'd taken a photograph of Verona, and the camera printed out a little card. After a moment, the photograph developed, and she handed it to Verona to look at.

Verona looked at the camera but when the flash hit her she couldnt help but blink in surprise and her whiplashed back a little wasn't expecting shch a thing. "that took me by surprise." Verona said then shaking it off. Looking at the camera photo seeing herself. "Oh ok. Thats interesting. Now how bout one with you and me with you wearing my coils like that so and my head next to yours?" Verona said in a playful tone as she moved her head to June's left side

"Oh, yeah, the flash... I forgot to turn it off, sorry. I should have warned you - but then again, you should have warned me that you were going to pop up behind me like that..." June said, rationalising her response in a partly joking manner. "Oh, um... Y-you and me? With the coils...? Why do you want that?" June asked suspiciously. She turned the camera to face her and Verona, but didn't press the button yet as she waited for Verona's answer - though Verona could simply press the button herself if she wanted.

Verona smiled teasing June. When June was facing the camera Verona for a moment before June pushed the button Verona revealed her human face to the camera. Then reverted herself back to a python head waiting to see if June would notice. "Oh no reason I just thought you'd like to have a picture with me" Verona said and waited for the camera to spit out the picture and June to look at it

June wasn't entirely sure how to respond as the picture developed. Verona had already revealed herself to June as a shapeshifter, so it wasn't as if June was unaware of what was going on. She shrugged to herself as she figured that the woman was still trying to mess with her, and handed Verona the photo over her shoulder. "You're a bit of a mischief-maker, aren't you?" She asked rhetorically, putting her camera back around her neck. "Well, it was nice to meet you, but I'd really better get going..." June added, stepping away as if to go. Verona might have had other ideas, though.
