Ronan, a seasoned adventurer with strength and confidence etched into every line of his rugged face, ventured deeper into the unfamiliar forest. His journey led him to a hidden cave, its entrance cloaked by thick vines. Curiosity ignited, he stepped inside, the dim light revealing a mesmerizing figure. Ronan was always a solo player, enjoying spending his time alone. Seeing them, though.. it was as if his heart shifted, seeing them curled up in that way in the dark corner of the cave, as if afraid of the dangers lingering outside.

Before him was a snakehuman, their upper body human with soft, elegant features, and the lower body a graceful serpent's tail. Ronan's heart pounded in his chest, not out of fear, but awe. He thought they were beautiful, unable to take his eyes off them.. slowly stepping closer with certain cation. Despite being experienced and full aware of deceiving looks, he thought this one could be different. He could make it his companion. He sensed no danger, only a quiet, gentle soul.

He approached them with his usual confidence, though a flicker of confusion crossed his mind. "Aren't you... lonely here?" he asked, his voice strong but tinged with genuine curiosity.
