It was another warm day in the jungle. Savage and unforgiving, the searing heat only heightened it’s unpredictable nature. Amidst the predatory danger that lurked in every tree, under every rock, and beneath every stream, there were small pockets of calmness and tranquility that had yet to be discovered. And one denizen was enjoying a fairly quiet day.
That denizen was Ryan the lone jungle boy. At 23 years of age, Ryan was athletic, lean, tall, and lightly built, far removed from the uber-buff Tarzan stereotype. His lightly tanned and toned frame sported a slight six-pack, wide shoulders, and strong arms and legs. He wore a red loincloth, with short black hair and blue eyes rounding off a handsome appearance. A paint tattoo of a wolf paw dotted his left shoulder, indicating his past affiliation to the local pack before he departed to the manvillage at 18 years of age.
23 rains with his lupine friends had come and gone, moulding Ryan into a courageous and fearless specimen of a man. He strolled through the undergrowth, keeping his keen senses on full alert for any predators that seeked to make a meal out of him.
Little did he know, was that the opposite effect was waiting in the wings.

For in the jungle haply at home in the tall canopy was a creature of both fear and beauty. A beautiful Lamia by the name of Ro was just relaxing in the sun from her nest while enjoying her meal of banana and figs. The sun was very warm today and being half snake she enjoyed it, but later she plans to go for a swim in the river. Ro had a body shape a belly dancer would be proud of, slim but not too thin. Light tanned skin, long brown hair that was tied with two small braid on the side that interlocked behind her head. Her long tail turquoise in color and the only clothing she wore was a aqua green cover on her chest. The whole jungle was calm, yet as Ro relaxed in her home something was on her mind. She felt the longing for something fun to do and not one she would do alone. But not sure of all she was feeling anxious for.

Ryan knew every path and trail through the jungle like the back of his hand. Some lead to beautiful lagoons and dwellings that were unseen by human eyes, while others lead to barren wastelands that were inhabited by deadly predators and carnivorous plants that would make bite-sized snacks out of their helpless and terrified victims. But the jungle lad hadn’t seen danger for a long time - and he preferred to keep it that way.
"Another hot day. Not surprising." Ryan mused, the sounds of running water in the distance. He was not far from a hidden lagoon, so he picked up the pace and continued his walk. Upon pushing past a few branches, he came to a clearing.
A lush waterhole, replenished by crystal clear waters and surrounded by tall trees with a small waterfall, greeted him. A smile played on his face.
"Perfect. Now I can relax. But first....." He chuckled, leaping up to grab onto a nearby branch, beginning a series of chin-ups. Exercise was what kept him in shape, and, more often than not, was always interrupted by an inquisitive animal. And he had no idea one was in the vicinity.

At the same moment, Ro had left her nest and was heading to the lagoon for a swim, traveling trough the treetops. She was quick on the ground too, but for it more fun in the trees leaping and swinging from the branches. And in no time had reached one of the few hidden lagoons. Ro was about to climb down when she heard a grunting noise. "What is that?" she asked herself. Looping the end of her tail to the branch, she lowered her body down the side of the tree headfirst. Once she reached the last few branches that would reach the ground she saw what was making those noises. Just a few feet away at another tree, a human male was doing chin ups on a low hanging branch. The sight shocked her. He was strong looking even though she was only glimpsing him from behind. From his clothing he didn't seem like the men that would live in the villages just outside the borders of the jungle. With a grin on her face she reeled herself back up before she was noticed. She has a seat in a high branch and makes sure he was in her sight while she waited to see more of this interesting human.

Unaware that he was being watched, Ryan continued his exercise. His strong arms moved him up and down in a series of chin-ups, allowing the unseen watcher a glimpse of his toned back and taut buttocks that were covered by his loincloth. Unlike the majority of unclean and primitive men who lived in small pockets of villages outside the borders and only understood violence,, he kept himself fit and active. Though he too made a nearby man-village his home, the jungle always interested him.
After 10 chin up’s, Ryan let go of the branch. Small beads of sweat dotted his brow, but it was worth it.
"A few more and I’ll cool off." He smiled, beginning a series of stretches as he moved his bodies in a series of tantalising poses that would have any female snake eager to ensnare him.

He was in the right position for Ro to just drop down her tail and catch him like certain species of spiders that go to the prey, but she didn't. No not yet. Now wasn't the right moment to...ensnare him. Unlike most of her kind she was more gentle in her methods. The lamia silently climbs down the tree and down to the ground. She then goes around the edge of the water, keeping her eyes on the boy making sure he hadn't noticed her yet. Ro reaches a part of the lagoon where the waterfall was. Slithering to the edge she sat down while most of her tail was dipped in the cool liquid. She than went to untying the small braids in her hair.

Once the jungle lad had completed his stretches, Ryan turned around, eager to take a dip. His blue eyes didn’t notice the beautiful brown haired woman sitting at the edge of the waterfall, untying small braids in her long tresses. Not just yet.
"That’s better....." He mused, slipping into the clear azure waters. He began a light breaststroke, propelling himself forward as his legs and arms began to work.

Once the hair tie ribbon was slipped free, she combed her fingers through her hair. After it was all neat, she grabbed it all and tied it in a low hanging ponytail with the ribbon. Ro then sets her hands on the ground and pushes the rest of her body in the water. She swims over to the gentle section of the waterfall that wasn't pouring water down so hard, no more than a good shower-head. She stands under it with her back turned to the human but her head turned slightly to look behind. She then feels ready to finally speak up and gives a gentle 'hello' to the human.

Once that kind and soft greeting reached Ryan’s ears, he stopped mid swim, treading water. He had to be careful - most lagoons housed hungry octopi that grabbed unsuspecting prey with their tentacles. But there was no danger of that.
"Who said that? Hello?" Ryan called out, hoping to find an affirmative answer. The unseen watcher was enjoying his confused reaction.

The 'unseen watcher' giggled from where she was at his little reaction. "Your acting as if a crocodile as touched you." Ro slips behind the stream of water having it run down in front of her like a curtain of water.

"There’s no crocodile’s here in....." Ryan stammered, his eyes suddenly catching a small glimpse of a silhouette behind the stream of water that cascaded down from the waterfall. Slowly, he began to swim forwards, hearing a very flirtatious giggle that beckoned him closer and closer.
"Hello? Who are you?" He called out lighltly.

The figure flicked her wet hair with her hand. "My name is Ro. I hope you don't mind sharing this lagoon. It is warm out and I came for a swim, but I never thought someone else would be here too." As she remained behind the fall she wondered what would happen, especially when he sees her full self.

"Ro? Short and sweet. Rolls off the tongue." Ryan mused quietly to himself, listening to her inviting voice. He eventually came to a stop by the stream of water, a mere inches from seeing her beautiful upper human body.
"I’m Ryan. Sorry if I’ve disturbed you, but I was just looking to cool off." He apologised, resuming treading water.

"Oh thank you," she said smiling at the compliment. "You haven't disturbed me, I was concerned I would disturb you. Iinn fact I was wondering if you would like me to hang around with you? You see I'm a little board and would like a friend to 'play' with if you would like to say it that way." Ro crosses her arms behind her back giving a shy look.

"Well..... there’s no one else around for miles. But we can hang out together.” Ryan responded kindly, unaware of the long snake tail that was underneath the clear blue waters, waiting to surprise him. Not just yet. His strong arms and legs couldn’t keep treading water forever.
"Can you come out from behind the water, please? I just want to see who it is I’m talking to." He asked, proposing the question as Ro prepared to reveal herself.
