Among the sandy lands of the desert, Shantae ran and whipped her hair at every direction, at every enemy and goon in sight as she was on another chase against the pesky pirate queen Risky Boots. The woman was causing more trouble in Scuttle Town and Shantae did not hesitate to try stopping her, leading the pirate to mock the half-genie and sail off. Now in the middle of the run, the tan girl knew that she wouldn't be able to catch up so soon, so she might as well take a break somewhere to pass the time. Luckily for her, she saw an ancient tomb not too far from where she was at.
"Oh, good! A place to stay! Might as well rest for a bit in some good shelter," she said as she walked in, fascinated by the old and dusty hallways and rooms.

A large, no, massive reticulated python stared down at her. His bright yellow eyes gazed upon the curvy woman in curiousity and wonder. Never had he snake seen a woman with purple hair that long. Her appearance in his abode made him quite excited, but at the same time, quite nervous. He’d seen people come through his home before, but never had he interacted with any of them, for fear of saying the wrong thing, or just overall scaring them completely. His name was Orrin, and his scales all lining his eighty foot long tail were of a white color, with a stripe of red going down either side of his body, both connecting at the tip of his tail, and at the top of his head, where there was a red diamond shape directly center on his forehead. He slithered after her, still keeping his distance, for he didn’t know if she would take kindly to him being there. But after all, she was trespassing.

Shantae sat near a well lit area of the tomb, taking out a gator steak and orange to eat up for a snack, enjoying the juicy meat and the sweet taste of her food. She was just by herself at the current moment, unaware of the mysterious snake slithering about and around.
"Hmmmm.... Seems like a nice place, indeed. Though, it would be nice to get some company. Sky and Bolo had to be busy for this little adventure, they don't know what they're missin'," the half genie chuckled, referring to the meaty snack she savored.

Orrin peered down at her from up above. She seemed to be taking a rest, but hadn’t seemed to notice him. The purple haired lady had sat down directly where he liked to take naps in the cool shadow. Perhaps she hadn’t noticed all the rubbings from his scales scraping along the stones. He stared down at her, a bit anxiously, as he wanted to take a nap, but he also wanted to meet with her, but all the same worried that his appearance might startle her into a panic, so he kept up hiding near the ceiling just staring down at her. “H-hello?” He called down to her, still not revealing himself to her. “Y-you’ S-sitting In m-my s-spot.” His nerves were showing through his voice.

Shantae stopped eating her food as she heard the slithery, but somewhat nervous voice, looking around to see what the sound came from. Her blue beautiful eyes peered around the room, but was unable to see if anyone was present as it was still dimly lit and she idn't bring any fireballs to brighten her surroundings.
"Oh! Uh, hello? Who's there? I didn't mean to barge into your home if that's the case, I'll leave if you want me to," Shantae said aloud, hoping the source of the voice would hear her.

“N-no!” Orrin said, a bit more vocally than he’d wanted to. The snake continued staring down at her from up above. He was sure she’d run once she caught sight of him, so instead he stayed put. “W-well, I mean, yes th-this is m-m-my h-home, b-but you d-not have t-to g-g-go...” his voice trailed off as he felt his anxiety kicking up. The poor little white python didn’t know how he was going to convince himself that he needed to be more confident. Still, now that she head stood up, her full form was on display for him, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her. “Y-you’re p-pretty,” he said, immediately Regretting allowing those words to escape his scaly lips.

Shantae still looked around, eventually facing upwards as she heard the voice being above her, smiling as she heard the sweet and shy comment from Orrin.
"Why, thank you, it's very nice of you," Shantae giggled as she was complimented. It wasn't new to be told of her beauty, but she did always thank those who gave the kind comment regardless. "Where are you, though? You don't have to be afraid, I mean no harm at all, I was just resting here for a bit."

As the purple haired woman looked up, Orrin let out a quiet, “eep!” Before moving to a different part of the ceiling to avoid being noticed. “I-I’m hiding,” he said, not yet revealing his reasons for doing so. She made him quite nervous, but she seemed to have liked his accidental complimenting outburst. “C-can y-you fell m-m-me y-your n-name?” He called down to her from a different location.

"Oh, you don't have to hide from me, really, there's no need to be afraid. I'm Shantae, defender of Scuttle Town. Why don't you come down? Hearing from you, you sounds like a sweet person," she responded with a re-assuring smile, wanting to meet this mysterious person, or creature, hiding from her.

At hearung that she was a defender of a town, it let him know that she would probably be dangerous if he made her upset. But the word defender made him a bit less scared as well since it meant she cared for people. At her question, he gave it a bit of thought, before responding, “I-if I come down y-you’d b-b-be s-scared of m-m-me...” the snake stayed hidden up in the shadows for that exact reason. At least, that’s what he assumed.

Shantae chuckled, still seeing how persistent this mysterious stranger was in not wanting to appear towards her. She put her hands on her hips, still keeping her kind and caring smile.
"Nonsense! I promise I won't scared you. What kind of guest would I be trying to be afraid or hurt someone who doesn't mind me being here nor hasn't tried to hurt me?" she asked.

Orrin took a moment to think about it, before finally breaking the silence, “o-okay... y-you h-h-have a p-p-p-point,” He said, before making his way down a pillar on the side facing away from Shantae. He submerged his body in the sand below, and made his way towards her, still hiding his massive size in the sand, before just his head came peeking out from the sands to look at her. Now that he was closer to her, he could see her beautiful blue eyes, and was immediately once again nervous about his decision to approach her. “H-hi,” He said shyly as he looked at her from the sand.

Shantae looked down at the sand as she saw it move, figuring it must be some sort of sand creature that was talking to her. Sure enough, once she saw the head of a shy snake peek out and look right at her, she couldn't help smile cutely. She kneeled down and slowly petted the snake's head, feeling the head's smooth scales upon her palms.
"Why look at you, such a cute little snake! That wasn't so hard coming around now, was it? What is your name, by the way, since I told you mine?" she asked.

The ‘little’ snake blushed a bit at being called cute, and said, “I-I’m n-n-not l-little!” As she placed her hands on his head, he pulled away, bringing his head back beneath the sand, just his eyes and little snout poking out of the grainy terrain. She definitely was gentle, and her hands felt soft and smooth, but the sudden immediate contact caused him to become a bit anxious. “M-my name is Or-r-rin,” he said shakily, as he looked up at her, noticing her exposed bellybutton, he felt the sudden urge to want to tickle her, but didn’t know how to go about it, so he suppressed himself from acting upon said urges.

"Hello, then, Orrin. It's very nice to meet a new friend such as yourself," Shantae said nicely as she got to her knees, not wanting the shy, but cute snake to slither away so worried and easily.
"Why do you always have to slither away? You can tell already that I don't want to hurt you or frighten you," she said to Orrin. "What are you so afraid of? Well, besides from being in this dreary tomb.." she chuckled.
