Mar listened to the man explain about the Foreas, her eyes flickered to Coco and registered the name with the plant, but her knowledge about the species didn’t extend any farther. It was little of a surprise since there wasn’t any such creature -at least she had encountered-in Yarsomere. She took in the image to memory, noting key absence of facial features, the leaves curved about the form and much more before turning back to Althalus. The man had taken off his mask, revealing his face to everyone, and then made a slight wave to lean on. 

It was too bad the man was human her earlier scent caught had affirmed her thoughts as usual, or he would’ve made a handsome Naga. A few blond hairs peering over his face and rather pretty eyes that Mar had staring a little more than necessary, easily mistaken for determining if she was going to slap him with her tail for his gesture. Her attention was jerked in the plant creature’s direction when the Foreas hastily began to shake her head while pointing at her odd necklace. She still spoke in her broken sentences then lightly clapped when it seemed they found the right answer. 

Mar nodded then in understanding. Slowly, her face still watched the man warily, mostly, she moved in front. There was little worry the pair would attack her from behind because in moments they would’ve been shot or stopped many of the vast teachers, staff or even a few students themselves. In the short time she arrived, the Naga had noted many of the students had been very capable of defending themselves when the need rose and their fellows despite some of the clear prejudiced views existing. Most thought she didn’t notice their unseen glances or whispers behind her back, but instead she paid it little mind. Words were merely just that and nothing more. 

Her tail slithered over the courtyard scenery then noted the Rune master, Val, in conversation with… Mar stopped dead in her tracks at the bizarre sight. Reptilian and standing upon a long tail like herself, the creature seemed to have distinct features that both similar and very different from each other. Immediately her tongue flickered out to catch his scent. He had the strong Naga scent in addition with male, salt water and finally….a fish scent. She waited for the male to feel eyes staring at him before Mar even considered to approach, her instincts a bit unnerved to seeing the creature like herself yet so different and strange. Mar half expected it to be a trick of sorts by the other students as bipeds tended to like to be rather foolish creatures at times.
