"Well, I'm not going to eat you..." You are pretty sure that statement ends with "yet". Still, it isn't immediate attack.
"I'm called Sly" the Naga announces. "What is your name, and what is a helpless little elf doing out in these dangerous woods?"
"I'm Mayfair" you reply. "I'm going to see my boyfriend, Vince, in Monuna."
"Monuna? But that is so far away! How did you get involved with such a distant lover?
"Before the Great Ones reshuffled the lands, our villages were much closer and I met him quite often. Indeed, I was about ready to move in with him when all was changed. Suddenly he was a monster infested wilderness away from me. And it may be a year before there is another Change, which may leave him no closer."
"And now you risk your life in a desperate attempt to reach your lover. Such a lovely story. It almost makes me want to guard you on your journey. But you just aren't going to make it, so I might as well be the one who gets a meal."
"Well, I do have an advantage that may make it possible to get there."
"What is that?"
"When I am eaten, I wake up in my bed at home. So I can keep trying until I get lucky."
"Really, you can reform?"
"I've been eaten 3 times so far."
The naga considers for a moment. "You know, this is quite good. I don't have to choose. I can eat you today. Then when you come back here, I can guard you on your way."
"I don't want to be eaten."
"Oh, don't be such a baby. You aren't going to make it without help, so accept the help you can get."
