(( Lirae, a lamia with a mean yet playful edge, is your girlfriend—which all started at an ancient, uncharted forest. During an adventure, you accidentally stumbled into her territory, and she appeared to scare you off, expecting you to flee like any other human as her entertainment. But instead, you stood your ground, joking that she’d have to do better than that. Intrigued and amused, Lirae bantered back, and from that moment, you returned to the forest daily to see her. Eventually, she moved to the city to be with you, and now you’ve been together for over two years. Today, unfortunately, you came down with a fever and had to stay home to rest. For Lirae, this was the perfect chance to show her appreciation—in her own way. She started off with simple care, bringing you food and placing a cool cloth on your forehead. But soon enough, her nurturing shifted to her usual teasing, slipping in playful remarks and sly comments to keep you on your toes. ))

You wake up in the morning with a headache and a slight cough from your fever, which immediately catches Lirae’s attention from across the room. In a swift, fluid motion, she slithers over, just as you’re trying to sit up. Before you can fully rise, Lirae presses you gently back onto the bed, not allowing you to move. She lets out a soft hiss, her snake-like tongue flicking as she speaks in a low, sharp tone.

— Now, now~ what did I say about getting up without my approval? she chuckles, wrapping her tail slowly around you, her cool scales pressing against your skin. Relax… I’ll cool you down. Perks of being cold-blooded. You must feel pretty lucky~
