Deep in the jungle, up on the tallest tree branch, was Sophie the jungle girl.
Normally at night Sophie would be on alert for any potential threats before sleeping but was utterly tired from defending animals from threats all day, leaving her sleepy, but not without wanting to stay awake, just to be ready to defend more animals.

Little did she knew, that tree she's now it's close to another beautiful tree where reside and lives the Naga Marcus, who doesn't have to sleep for much during the night, he sleeps during the day, where the hot sun hits his long tail and warms him up.
Our kind and friendly naga was actually eating when he noticed in the other tree he has close, in the highest branches, a girl-cub! He had heard that some humans visit the jungle, but she doesn't completely look like the ones of the villages. Marcus can't help but stare at her with curiosity, as he does so, he notices that the girl-cub seems tired, but strangely she stays awake... What about he helps her? His coils after all are very comfortable to sleep in, and plus if she has problems with falling asleep, with his powers he can make her fall into a deep and peaceful slumber in no time.
Silently, our sweet Naga starts to climb towards the other tree and up to the branches she's in, making sure she doesn't notice him, he doesn't want to scare her making her think he's some crazy predator

Sophie was still trying to be awake and on alert while fighting her tiredness from a long day of hard work, she stood up to try and shake the grogginess out of her, while unbeknownst to her, something or someone was nearby while she was to tired for her jungle girl instincts to tell her of anything.

Finally our Naga got in some branches behind the girl-cub, looking at her struggling to stay awake and Marcus can tell she really needs a good rest.
The boy gently goes closer to her and tries to approach the girl-cub «H-Hey~» he shyly says getting beside her, with some distance so he wouldn't get hit if she gets scared

While Sophie was tired, her reflexes kicked in at hearing someone say hey to her and swiftly turned around in a fighting position to find to her shock what appeared to be a naga, which left her shocked as she had NEVER seen a naga or snake hybrid of any kind besides her frenemy Sabrina.
"W-who are you? Are you a naga?" Sophie asked in both curiosity and caution.

Marcus nods at her question with a soft and friendly smile, looking at her expression with curiosity himself, is she scared of him or just cautions? He didn't wanted to scare her in any way, he just wanted to make a new friend and help her.
«Oh yess~~ I am~~ My name is Marcuss! I live in that tree over there, just beside this one!» he says smiling softly at her, indicating his home, he seems like a happy child «I noticed you here all alone and i wanted to keep you company!~~» he says with honesty, at least he tells part of his plan, but for now he wants to have this girl-cub trust and friendship, so that he can then help her «What'sss your name girl-cub?~» he asks getting a little closer so he can look at her better

Sophie could see that Marcus was actually quite shy, unlike many hypnotist that tried to capture her, unless it was just an act, either way she still decided to be nice while still being cautious just in case.
"My name is Sophie and I'm not a cub, I'm actually 21, too old to be a cub, trust me." Sophie said in a polite tone while giggling slightly at the cub mention, wanting to let some people know that she was too old to be considered a "cub" as many jungle residents liked to refer to her as.

Marcus makes a "ooh" in understanding, he will be more careful next time abd won't csll her girl-cub again, especially since niw that she looks better at her, she totally doesn't look like a cub, but more like a woman like the ones in the village he spies time to time to learn something new.
«I undersssstand~ Ssssorry if I made you angry» he excuses himself with a nervous giggle and a smile still on his face, looking at the Sophie with a curios and happy look «I like your name!~~ Sssssssssophie~~» he repeats, loving her name «May I ask you why are you here?~~»

Seeing that Marcus seemed apologetic in calling her a cub, she felt at ease a bit seeing Marcus being quite kind and a bit shy unlike the many hypnotist she's encountered.
"Oh no it's okay, I'm not mad at you for calling me a cub." Sophie said in a reassuring tone. "I get that confusion a lot, and as for what I'm doing here, well, I'm here to protect animals from dangerous humans and have been doing so and succeeding all day, and I'm here trying to look out for more threats to the animals."

Marcus looks at her confused, treats in the night? Didn't he controlled his territory well? Are some of his animal friends in danger? It doesn't seem right he made sure very/everything was okay during the day between a nap and the other, so it wasn't possible that his friends were treated by someone.
«B-But it's night~~ You humanssss sssshouldn't ssstay up too late or all night~~ It's not good for your health~~ Plusss no danger assss ever come in my territory with me controlling it!~~ «He said proudly the last part as the rest was actually with a worried voice

While Sophie was still keeping her guard up with Marcus, she felt glad to know he was concerned for her.
"Don't worry, I'll be okay, I can take care of myself." Sophie said in a reassuring and co confident tone.

Marcus tough can see how tired she's feeling and she noticed that she has struggles staying awake, and he wants her to stay healthy and safe, so now he'll try to convince her without trying his power, maybe at least he can convince her to take a quick nap.
«But Sssophie~ It's not good fo-for y-you~~ You ssssshould re-really resssst~~ I can sssstay up without problems and I'll take care of any problem while you sssleep sssssafe and ssssound with me, if you want!~~» he tried, showing her his soft tail by giving her cheek a little caress with the tip of it, him making a soft smile at her «I can make you a bed with my tail! Oh! I can even make you an hammock if you prefer~~» he says a little to excited as he tries to convince her

Hearing Marcus' suggestions, Sophie did find that Marcus probably did want her in his coils but didn't want to be rude as she gently touched Marcus' tail on her cheek and gently put it away while politely saying, "no thanks Marcus, I can sleep okay without any snake coils."

Marcus makes a sad face as Sophie said that, she really doesn't trust him that much? He sigh and looks away a little, if he doesn't convince her she's not going to sleep and tomorrow morning she'll be too much tired that anyone can attack her in any minute
«... But i just want you to rest well tonight~~ And-And my coils are ve-very comfy~~ Pl-Plus I can make sure to give you the best nap ever~~ Y-You can gi-give me a chance to-to show you~~» he says smiling and mumbling a little as he looks at her and gets slowly closer to the girl, his tail trying again to gently caress her cheek and without her realising it very slowly makes sure she's looking at Marcus, this time she won't take it of easily, and Marcus will now make sure she rests, and that it will be the best sleep of her life

Even in her tired state, Sophie could tell that Marcus was hurt and really seemed to want to help.
Feeling the gentle tail caress her cheek, Sophie swallowed her pride in a sigh and said, "okay, I'll take being in a cocoon of coils for tonight."
