Kiran crawls out his bedroom window and crosses the few yards to Somnis' house. He peeks in her bedroom window and sees Lamia sitting alone on her bed. He taps on the window and the no-longer-snake looks over with a start. She's still dressed the same as this morning. She walks over and fumbles with the window for a moment before managing to get it open. "Hello, Kiran."
"Hey, L-"
"Sh! Somnis and I decided it'd be prudent for me to use a fake name. We'll... explain more about that tonight. For now, just start calling me Tia, OK?"
"Er... OK. Tia. Where's Somnis?"
"In the shower," Lamia Tia says. "She said she's going to show me how to use it after she's done."
"You don't know how?"
"...Well, I've seen some at the mall, but they're just display models."
"Wait, have you never... y'know, bathed?"
Tia hisses. "Of course I have! Regularly! I've just always used a bathtub. Somnis says she only has a shower, though."
"Huh. Well, anyway. I'm kidnapping you, so could you crawl out the window, please?"
"Kidnapping...? Erm. I'm not sure what that means, but OK?" Lamitia crawls through Somnis' window. She withdraws a bit as she steps out onto the ground. "...Grass feels weird..." she says.
"Oh, that's fine. This is part of kidnapping, after all." Kiran scoops her up and carries her back to his place. He helps her in through his window. When Kiran comes in after her, he finds her frozen in fear.
"Wh-what is... that thing?" Lamia whispers quietly, pointing at Dogachu - who is sitting calmly on Kiran's bed. He's wagging his tail and has his head cocked at the new visitor.
"That's... a dog. His name's Dogachu. Don't worry. He's a good boy."
"O-oh... Hello, Dogachu."
"Arf."
"...You can pet him if you want. You know how to pet things, right?" Kiran asks. Lamia gives an awkward smile that clearly means 'no.' Kiran reaches up and pats Lamia on the head. "Uh, you just kind of... put your hand on his head and do this? Or pat his back like this. He also really likes if you rub his tummy like this."
"Oh... OK. I'm... not sure why you demonstrated on me instead of him, but that's... fine." She gingerly pats Dogachu on the head.
He's into it.
"So..."
(A) You've not spent a lot of time in the human world, huh? Let's go to the beach! It's the best part!
(B) Wanna check out the park?
(C) Want to use my bathtub?
(D) So... I've got a lotta questions for you. Lots.
(E) Hey, let's study together.
(F) I need another nap. You in?
(G) Let's go shopping and get you some proper clothes.

There is no normal not-weird option when you're taking a giant snake lady who tore off half her own body to become a normal lady also she's from an alternate dimension out on a not-date
I'm adding another option, btw.
(G) Let's go shopping and get you some proper clothes.

You can call her, sure, but spoiler: she doesn't keep her phone on when she's meditating.

"We're gonna do something fun! And you've already got the perfect outfit for one of my favorite places."
Lamia tilts her head. Her tongue flicks out and she, embarrassed, quickly raises her hand to cover her mouth. Did... Did she still have a forked tongue? Actually, now that you get a good look at her... Her eyes are kinda slit-y. Eesh. Kiran grabs a pair of sunglasses and slips them on her.
"Perfect!" he says. "Alright, go grab a pair of towels from the closet and give me a sec."
He sends Natsumi a text message. Almost immediately he gets her automatic reply back - "Busy, sorry -.-"
He tries Buttons. "The beach again so soon? No. I'm busy. With literally anything else. And I mean it this time."
Kiran pouts. Fine. He'll just take his snake-friend and leave. He sends Somnis a text as they hop on the bus. "Stole your snake sorry not sorry see ya at dinner"
Kiran leaps off the bus, flexing and shouting. "BEACH!!! Come on, Tia, time for fun! Oh, wait. Hey, make sure you don't step on anything sharp. It's pretty rare, but sometimes people toss broken glass and it really hurts if you step on it." He carries her past the parking lot and drops her into the sand.
Lamia stares at her feet, and curiously kicks at the new terrain. "This is... This is what you call sand? It's so... warm... So warm..." She smiles. Broadly. Her tongue pops in and out again. "And that... must be the ocean?" Her tongue is going in and out rapidly. "It smells... strange. But I can see why you like this place."
"You ain't seen nothin' yet! Hey, Tia, do you know how to swim?"
"...No..." Lamia admits.
"Volleyball?"
"No."
"...Ever eaten ice cream?"
"Hm... No. I don't have to eat in... y'know."
"Weird. Dang. OK. Where to even begin." Kiran is hyped.
Plenty of room open for sunbathing. Lamia seems to like warm things, so she'd probably enjoy it. But surprising her with some ice cream could be nice. Or teaching her how to swim! The beach stays tolerably warm for afternoon partying most of the year, but the ocean itself won't be warm enough for swimming too much longer.
Volleyball games. Is there a match they could get in on? Oh, yeah. Oh, dear. There's a 2-on-2 game going on. Looks like Freya and one of the other soccer club members are going up against... people Kiran doesn't recognize. One with short, platinum-blonde hair and a one-piece and a guy with shoulder-length white hair in purple swim trunks. The two guys seem to be... enjoying themselves, maybe? But the girls are really going at it. Screaming every time they hit the ball. Kiran's never seen two people so into a simple game.
(A) Swimming!
(B) Sunbathing!
(C) Ice Cream!
(D) Volleyball!
(E) Ditch Lamia
(F) Bury Lamia in the sand! She'll love it!

Hmm you Buy Lamia in the sand. Sounds awfully tempting.
Lets do some nice relaxing eating ice cream while bathing in the sun.

"Alright! I dunno about you, but I'm still kinda sore from last night, so let's take it easy today. Here!" He squirts some lotion on her shoulder. "That's sunscreen. Drop a glob, rub that into your skin, and it'll stop you from getting a sunburn. And don't forget your legs! Here, I'll get your back."
Lamia doesn't seem to understand, but lets Kiran rub some into her back. "What's a sunburn?"
"It's... kind of hard to explain, and maybe you can't even get it. But basically if you sit outside too long your skin turns run and it hurts and the outer layer peels off over a few days. They suck."
"How strange. I could probably just shed my skin, but I'll trust your wisdom, Kiran."
"There ya go. Go ahead and find a nice, quiet place to spread out the blankets, I'm going to go get you a surprise."
Kiran goes and gets a pair of ice cream cones. He takes a guess and gets chocolate for Lamia, and peach for himself. Mmm... Peach. When he gets back, he finds Lamia sitting with her feet already buried in the sand. "Here. Lick this." He holds a cone out and she cautiously examines it.
"It's cold..." she complains.
"Yeah. It goes great with sunbathing. Just try it." When she hesitates, Kiran reaches out and taps the ice cream to her nose.
She instinctively flicks her tongue out and licks it. "Wow. S-sweet... But cold. I can't decide if it's worth it..."
She decides it's worth it. You lay around in the sun for a while. Kiran keeps looking over and noticing she's buried herself a bit further into the sand.
(A) (Enjoy the quiet)
(B) So, about the other world...
(C) How do you like the world so far?
(D) Are you heading home tonight?
(E) So, got any hobbies?

Now now its not that I don't want to ask her about the other world. But well its a beach and kinda of a public area. Maybe we can ask her those questions with Somnis over dinner when she is more relaxed setting.
Hmm lets ask her C how does she like it over here. In this "world/area/place". At the very least we can play it off better.
