Thought: girl who keeps finding a slowly increasing number of kobolds hanging around her house and around her and takes adorably long to put two and two together even as the little ones beg for her attention and give her (often slightly baffling) gifts
They're curling up next to her in bed and she's getting increasing itches on her forehead and back and making growls by instinct without thinking and she still doesn't get it
Her scales start appearing on her wrists and her reaction is to put moisturizer on it and expect it to go away in a few days
She's not panicked, she's not in denial, she's just completely oblivious... until her scales spread more and her tail starts to come in~
