Diamond in the rough (open)

don't you know there's a part of me

A python! Oh! Delta had heard of those! Snakes that were typically rather large that would choke their prey. Those snakes typically resided within the trees, so it was a massive shock that one would be white. Her curiosity was answered when Jigano confirmed he was an Attuned- explaining the unnatural coloration of his shift.

The following question earned a giggle from Delta and before she could respond, she saw a white head pop up. It really was a white snake! The compliment certainly earned a blush from her and she knew that she had a lot of explaining to do. "Thank you Jigano, but I'm not an attuned." Pause for dramatic effect. "I'm a mermaid, but because you asked, my shift is a Lion Fish. Thank you for the compliment." She offered him a sincere smile, a bit surprised by the random compliment thrown her way.

Reaching forward, Delta carefully lifted up the rest of the snake and tried to help him get onto the rocks, but would make sure not to let go until he confirmed he was safely on the rocks. "You are a magnificent snake, Jigano. I'm going to guess your color isn't natural in the wild? I've never really seen pythons before, seeing as I mostly just see water snakes or ones that like the sand."

that longs to go into the unknown
