Wake, check traps, hunt fish, sunbathe, repeat.

Saphis liked his routine, liked that it was the same day after day without fail. Each morning he would wake in his grotto, check his traps on the bank and hunt any fish that swam too close to the falls, then sunbathe in the river until the sun went down. Routine was good, no unexpected surprises. Even when the sky boxes came, none had come close or even found his small river or his grotto, never needing to adjust his life like he had heard some of the other Naga’s had. Especially Viren with his very loud human mate...

The day had started, quite obviously, as it always had. He emerged from his grotto, covering the entrance with the makeshift cover of moss and river algae, then went about his morning hunt. By mid afternoon, with tired muscles and a full stomach, Saphis was ready to spend the rest of his day on his favorite rock and bask in the very warm sun.

Except his rock was currently occupied by one of the small humans. A naked small human. Saphis's brows furrowed, unsure whether he should be upset that his rock was taken or curious that the two-legged creature seemed to be preparing himself to jump into the water. He had no fins, no tails, no thick muscle to keep him afloat. Surely this tiny human would drown in his river. Head dipped low below the surface of the water, Saphis swam his way towards {{user}} watching as he paddled about with ease. This only made him more confused.

Without much thinking, and driven mostly by curiosity, Saphis reached out and grabbed him by one of his legs, rising out of the water at his full height and bringing him with him. {{user}} dangled upside down in his arms, his hand bringing his foot close to his face as he seemed to inspect each of his toes. “You ssswim without finss? What are these?”
