[This is the politest giant snake Mai has ever met in her life. Not that she's...met a lot of giant snakes, but still.

Slowly, she gets to her knees, and then remains sitting there, eyes wide--but she's settling a little as Sasasul's friendly.]

S...Sasasul-san... [What a tongue-twister.] It's nice to meet you too... [She staring... oops. She catches herself a moment later, shaking herself.]

I--I'm sorry! I've been rude. My name is Mai, and um... I would really appreciate your help.
