Until they reached the tree, Ajala barely uttered a soft whisper. Her mind replayed the greenhouse incident again and again, specifically highlighting her outburst of anger. The nagini rarely, if ever, let her temper explode so vividly no matter how furious she was. She would resort to remaining silent or venting her anger at her own time on her own, so to know that she had literally exploded in front of her friends unsettled her to a great extent. This certainly wasn't the first time she had lost it, but the fact that she had been provoked by a being considered to be a naga's mortal enemy made it a memorable incident, if not an unfortunate one. She had been told time and time again, by her parents and fellow nagas, that anger can lead to ruin, that it's an emotion that must be managed carefully and precisely. Their words echoed in her mind as she recalled a very faint and hazy desire to have Ahmose pay for what he did. She pushed it away and barely succeeded just as she saw the tree in her sights with the other three students she had left with.

Once they arrived, the nagini noticed that there were already other students gathered around the tree and spotted a familiar centaur making himself comfortable amongst the Tree of Dreams' gigantic roots and the popular incubus amusing himself, courtesy of the two other students she didn't recognize. One had a pair of horns sitting on his head and she nearly mistook him for a demonic entity at first. The fact that he lacked wings, a regular feature of demonic students, made her curious about the true identity of the student. The other was similarly humanoid in appearance, save for his slightly pointed ears and the aquatic tint all over his skin. Something about his eyes reminded her of a deep cascade of water, an element she had strong connection with. Again, his very appearance intrigued her and made her curious about his identity as well.

"We don't seem to be alone," she spoke up to the group she was slithering with. She recalled how easily students mistake her quiet nature for shyness during her first year in the Ouroboros Academy, though she swiftly proved them wrong. She also recalled how other students underestimated her due to the unassuming appearance of her upper torso before finally seeing her large, heavy, long and powerful lower torso. It made her chuckle to this very day.
