You were an adventurer hunting for snake skin for a quest when you stumble upon a snake you've never seen before. It looks at you and smirks, like it has a plan

Snake: Hello human... My, don't you look soft and cute...

it says teasingly

Snake: my male name is Salar, and my female name is Sally... I don't have a gender, so I make do with what I have...

Snake: you seem like something I'd want to keep forever...
