Sure enough, Scalene found herself looking at three surprisingly snakelike creatures.
"Sso, you're the new demon of lusst, huh. I guesss that explainss my new look. And thiss weird tongue thing I've got going on here..." The apparent leader of the group, a male naga looking otherwise exactly like Scalene, gestured down at himself. "I hope you're better than the lasst guy. Or the guy before him."
"Who are you?" Scalene asked.
"You can't figure it out jusst by looking?" The other naga sighed in frustration. "We're your henchmen. Or lackeyss. Or whatever you want to call uss. We come with the job. The lasst guy kind of ignored uss the whole time, but you ssaw how he turned out, so don't do that."
"I might ass well introduce mysself and thesse two. I'm your ssecond-in-command. I'll alwayss be lesss powerful than whoever I sserve, but I've been at this job for a long, long time, sso I've worked out ssome trickss of my own. I can give you pointerss if you need them, too.
"If you're wondering what to call me, I'll ansswer to whatever name you give me, sso long ass it'ss not prepossterouss or anything."
He gesstured to the smaller of the creatures that had accompanied him into Scalene's cave, an adorable cross between a kitten and a naga. "Thiss iss Kitten. Don't call her anything elsse unlesss you want her to ignore you. Her thing iss being cute. That'ss about all sshe doess, really, but you'd be ssurprissed how powerful that can be on itss own."
Kitten, for her part, just smiled at Scalene. Evidently she wasn't much of a talker.
"On the other sside, we have... thiss thing. It... might have ssomething to do with curiossity? Honesstly I'm not ssure what it doess." The blocky serpentine thing made a sort of bleeping noise in response. "It'ss managed to ssurvive thiss long, anyway."
