	The Knight Serpenta tried not to laugh; and much to her own surprise, managed to stifle most of it. The corner of her mouth twitching upwards in a smile, the Naga did her best to reply in as formal a manner as possible. [color=c4df9b]"Enthralling?... That is perhaps the most endearing thing anyone of a courtly status has said of me."[/color] Mari says with a slight bow before continuing.

Blinking twice to confirm that her eyes weren't deceiving her, she also spots Fleuri in focused conversation with Jerel & Tyaethe.

Ah yes, I have seen plenty of creatures in my youth to the east of Thaln that those from around here might consider to be exotic. Oh, I know, if it's stories of excitement and danger you're looking for, I did have a run in with a Manticore in my youth."[/color] The naga offers, arching a questioning eyebrow.
