"Oh wow, I feel pretty special~" Jiten's hand patted his chest, briefly wondering if there were other chimaeras at school. But he dropped the thought as Xiu expressed interest in his tail, craning his neck back to look at it. He had never had anybody interested in his tail, living in a clan where that was the normal standard. Instinctively, his tail moved forward, Jiten refocusing his attention on the crouching Xiu, as the snake preened under her interested stare. Jiten realized now, that Xiu has her own tail. "He's living-- Not as independent as a familiar but he's not a dead tail either. I guess the best way to put it... is a living limb?"

Jiten never had to explain his tail before.

".. Uh.. Yeah, it's usually friendly." Jiten's tone was slow and awkward, thrown off by Xiu's question. He pulled back some of his long white hair, to give room for his tail to move. The snake slithered forward, in the air, mouth obediently closed, red eyes keenly alert.

"That'll be great, if we're lucky enough! One that's tail friendly would be great, just in case. I think my tail likes your colors-- huge fan of red and white." His hand turned back to give his tail a quick pat, the action carelessly natural.
