Daphne was out in the jungle she had called her home since she was born. She was hanging out in a tall tree just watching the scenery within sight. It was a dull day today. There was no one around to play with. There may be some small creatures like birds and primate related mammals. Daphne lifts her long tail and plays with it in her hands. Daphne was a being that most of the world believed was mythical; a lamia. Her upper half looked human. Long blonde hair tied with a braid at both sides of her head. Rose pink lips, green eye, and fair skin. From her waist down wasn't legs but a snake's tail the same shade of green as her eyes. She sighed so board. But also lonely.

Not to far away, was newly jungle man Chris Harris. The large and beefy man was an impressive 6’5, and wore only a brown leather loincloth that showed off his defined and muscular body. The handsome human had short, faded brown hair, with the light beginnings of a beard, piercing green eyes, and chiseled facial features. The 28 year old was exploring his new home, trying to familiarize himself with his surroundings. However, Chris did not fully understand the dangers of the jungle just yet. And that as a muscular man cub, he would soon attract some unwanted attention. But the jungle hunk didn’t sense anything at the moment. He continued on, his bare feet stomping over leaves and branches, as he used his strong hands to push away the thick foliage. For some reason, it was easy for Chris to memorize where he had been, and where he was going. “Yea theres that mango tree I passed earlier. So if I keep on going....” he mumbled to himself.

Daphne hears a voice. Stopping mid-bite of a fig, Daphne turns her head down as that was where the sound came from. It seemed a bit away. As a predator she knew to be on guard from sounds even to be mindful of those you don't hear. She tosses the fruit over her shoulder and moves along the branch to investigate. Just to know if the voice was a threat for her. But there weren't too many animals in the jungle for her to fear. She could hold her own with a bear. Looking down to the jungle floor she sees a body standing upright moving passed the ground ferns. "Is that..."

Chris continued on, relaxing a bit and enjoying the day. It was this that lowered his guard slightly, allowing his senses to miss the rustling of the leaves and the obvious presence above him. The jungle man stopped for a moment, and wiped some sweat off his brow. His muscular body gleamed with sweat due to the hours he had spent walking in the hot jungle sun. Deciding to take a brake, the bearded hunk sat down under a tree for some shade, and sighed contently. Chris had a calm and peaceful nature. He respected all life in the jungle, and made sure not to disturb anyone or thing with his presence. But, unknowingly, he had attracted the attention of on nearby creature...
“I’ll rest here for a bit” Chris mumbled to himself, bringing his left bare foot close to him so he could brush off the dirt caked on his wide sole. “I gotta bathe” he said, realizing just how dirty he had become. Even his brown loincloth has acquired some stains. “I’ll *YAWN* find a lake...later” Chris mumbled, before his closed his eyes, leaned his toned back against the trunk of the tree, and began to a snore lightly, taking a nap to regain his strength.

Daphne wraps her tail around a branch from the tree the human was under. "I need a closer look," she said in a low voice. Supported by her tail like a possum, she lowers herself down the trunk. Quiet like a normal snake, she makes it down and was able to get up close and personal. As he slept she saw well, despite being upside down, his facial traits. Looking up she saw his toned body. 'He's handsome,' she thought. 'I wonder what type of human he is. Let's try a little something, this could be fun.' She moves close to his ear and says a light "Boo" in his ear.

Chris immediately opened his eyes when he heard a voice enter his ear. The jungle man shot up to his feet and got in a defensive stance, ready for anything. But there was nothing, except for a beautiful, young female staring back at him. “Oh- sorry. I didn’t mean to get up so quickly” the muscular man cub apologized, standing up straight and brushing some dirt of his chest. “You just surprised me that’s all. I hope I didn’t bother you in any way. I’m Chris, and you are?” the man explained. Chris was a light sleeper, and kind hearted. Even though he was ready to defend himself, the jungle hunk hated violence and would always resort to peaceful negotiations before ever turning to fighting.

She giggled at his hastiness. 'A little jumpy he is.' Still upside down she kept watch on the boy. Clear he hasn't seen her tail yet. Would he still be so warm if he did. "I merely was curious to know who was under the tree. The jungle can be dangerous. I am Daphne."

Chris shared a smile with the girl, who he know noticed was upside down. “It’s nice to meet you Daphne” Chris said, putting his hands on his hips. “I know the jungle can be dangerous but you don’t have to worry about me” the jungle man replied. This was true, as Chris came from a military background. All his training seemed to be embedded in his soul, and helped him to survive. “Why are you upside down? You can come down. Are you from the village?” The jungle man asked, not knowing that Daphne was not an ordinary human. Despite the smile he had shared earlier, Chris maintained a serious tone and expression. He would not be rude or cold to the girl, he was just orderly by nature. Chris was a friendly guy who loved meeting new people. He just had a hard outer shell that only a few had broken into.

"No I am not from the village. The humans there wouldn't be so calm when they see me. But then again most don't know of my kind." Daphne takes a risk by hinting something he failed to notice. She takes another bold move and releases her tail. She comes down but twist in the air so she lands right side up. Withe her back turned she lifts herself up straight, revealing her lower half. 'Is this one brave or a afraid. No matter which, humans will always become what I want them. No harm in a little fun before the real fun.'

“Humans? Wait but are you a humans too-“ the jungle man began to say, but was interrupted when the girl decide to come down from the treetops. Chris had been confused with Daphnes words, but it all became clear when she lowered herself, and revealed that from the waist down she was my human. Instead of legs, there was a very long and scaly tail, clearly strong and thick as it gripped the branches and ground. However, even though Chris was taken back, he did go yell or run. Rather, he was curious about what exactly Daphne was. “You’re...a snake? But a girl? What-who are you?” Chris asked, catching himself. He did not want to district the creature by calling her a what. She was resident of the jungle, a beautiful one at that, and deserved a chance to show who she was.

'Brave and curious himself.' "I am a lamia." She spreads out her arms to present herself better showing off her beauty. The only thing she had on for clothing was a fabric cover on her chest in a sky blue shade. In her mind she could see this being a decent choice. She's beautiful, he's handsome. This will be entertaining, she'll make sure of that.

Chris was brave, and stood his ground. But he wasn’t arrogant or hot headed. He kept his cool and was calm in all situations. “A what? Lamia? I’ve never heard of that...but then again I don’t remember much these days” Chris shrugged, crossing his stormy arms across his bare chest making his biceps bulge. Chris got a good look at Daphne, and realized she was beautiful. From her long golden hair, to her pretty face, curves, and ample chest with a sky blue cover. Even her scales had a remarkable pattern that seemed to shimmer in the sun. Unfortunately, the jungle man had no idea what the Lamia has planned.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked holding a thinking finger to her chin. She was going to let it play out a little. Drag this way a bit more. Let him lower any guard he has. He doesn't know about lamias, that they have a unique...gift.

Chris’s guard was falling. This lamia was easy to talk to, and didn’t appear to be dangerous. If she was going to attack the man she would’ve done so already. At least, that’s what the Chris thought. “Well I’ve never heard of a Lamia before, or seen one. But it’s possible I have and just don’t remember. When I washed up on the beach here I had no memory of my past or who I was, so I’m building a new life for myself in the jungle” the muscular man cub explained. The jungle hunk walked closer to the Lamia, trusting her a bit more. Chris trusted too quickly and some might say it’s his weakness. “Do lamias live just in the jungle? Or in the city too?” Chris asked, now curious about her kind and what they could do. The jungle man had no idea what a Lamia was capable of.

"I believe my kind would be more at home in the jungle. Though I wouldn't know if this sit-ee you speak of. No memories, so sad. But maybe I can help with that." Her offer it's a lie to say. She did know a way, but could it be a garenty that she would.
