"It's my boyfriend" explained Emily.
"You want to change him?" asked the store woman.
"No. I want to change myself for him. I like him and we have a good time together but...well, I'm not as important to him as I'd like to be. He's fascinated by snakes; says he always has been. So I want to really get his attention. I want to become a snake. Well, a half snake. Maybe like one of those...I think they're called nagas? Human above the waist but with a snake tail. Maybe one of those?"
"I would advise against you changing yourself to please someone else like this. But I can only advise - you are the customer and it is your decision."
