You took a turn down the hall, seeing a half human half snake leaned against the door with their head hung down, resting their hands against the two swords in their side-holsters. They seemed to not notice you at first, due to you being in the shadows.

Upon hearing your footstep, their head jolted up, their snake tail flicking as the grip on their sword tightened and they sat up slightly. They narrowed their eyes at you.

They sat in silence, waiting.
