Her eyes widen slightly at your hesitation before she takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. "Yes... that's what I meant." Her tail continues to wrap around her body, giving her the appearance of a snake coiled up in preparation for striking or protecting itself. She swallows hard, unsure how you'll react to this.

"I understand if you're not comfortable with that," she says softly, "but I hoped... maybe we could find some common ground there as well."

Her cheeks flush deeper as she realizes how that might have sounded. "I just meant... that perhaps if we were to become closer during my stay here, it would help ease the tensions between our people." She pauses, gathering her courage before continuing. "Lamias are very affectionate creatures. We show our love through touch and intimacy. If you were willing..." She trails off again, unsure how to finish that thought without sounding too forward or demanding.
