In a quiet more secluded corner of the courtyard lay a winding coil of snake like tail. It was a quiet morning and Nalimani had slunk off to resume their original form and warm up in a patch of sun. They didn't truly begrudge being essentially confined to legs for most of the day, but it was stifling. This was a patch of garden a bit tucked away that generally had less foot traffic. It wasn't entirely a secret, they were more than willing to give an answer when asked. Though when they attended classes they generally assumed an appearance that was not dissimilar to an Elf. Like other Nerevyn there were a few signs to those in the know, mainly a littering of scales across the legs. However, considering Nalimani wore linen pants this detail rarely factored in. Still they didn't want to potentially cause some big fuss so they had sought out a more secretive area to unfurl.
They rested their head on crossed arms sneaking a bit more sleep. Nalimani struggled a little with the rigidity of an academic schedule. It was easier on warm sunny days like this but they were far from an early riser. The drifting morning sunbeams lit up the sprawled tail in a spectacle of color. A scaled expanse of pale almost pearlescent white emerging from the robes they wore and transitioning to a deeper and deeper blue down to the tip of the tail.
Their scale caught the light in a dazzling iridescent way. Nalimani was prideful about very few things but the color and quality of their tail was among those.
The Nerevyn softly snoozed to birdsong without concern.
