The fresh breeze hit Sajiras face which made her smile joyfully. She had been traveling through the plains for some time now and had only encountered one small horde of the Nomadic Horsemen that roamed the plains, And they fled at the sight of her. Of course at that time it was night and the moonlight made her look like a wraith or a ghost which scared the living daylights of the guards they had posted and very soon the camp they had set up was empty of life. She had been in the camp since the horde had fled.
-"Well it was nice of them to leave most of their supplies..."
She said and chuckled a bit when she took a large bite from a piece of meat she had cooked over the fire that also had been left from the horde. Sajira had set up her own things inside of the camp and feeled very secure in the camp and thus were not wearing anything to cover her body, Mostly because she liked the feel of the breeze against her skin.
-"...Not many villages around here"
She said and looked out from the camp an out to the open plains that were around the camp. Her long tail coiled up beneath her and she rose up in the air and looked about for any life in the area. She sighed loudly and lowered herself and laid on top of her coils and looked at the fireplace before her.
Ven wasn't sure where Set had gotten too. He had been walking along and chatting and not paying much attention and then realized his friend wasn't walking next to him. And his attempts to locate the elf had ended in failure and he was lost.
Not only was he lost, but he was lost in a big open space! Wincing, Ven cast glances up at the sky, expecting it to do something at any moment. When he finally noticed the camp, Ven made a beeline for it, confident that the people there would help him!
Only to find a single occupant. Flopping down across the fire from her, Ven let out a dramatic sigh, "Oh thank the earth you are here! I have been wandering for hours with no food and I am just so tired! And why does it keep getting so dark here? It was bright only a few hours ago!"
Sajira had just taken a bite of the meat she had when a man appeared from nowhere saying something like "Thank the earth" or something, She almost choked on the piece of meat she had in her mouth out of sheer supprise, After getting a hold of herself she looked at the man with a somewhat confused expression.
-"Ehmm... Well that's what happens when it's night"
She said and raised herself a bit supporting herself on her elbows giving a clear view of her cleavage. Why would the man thank the earth? did he find something in the dirt or something? For the life of her Sajira could not understand what the man hand meant by that. Sajira tilted her head and looked at the horns that the man had on his head and instantly became interested in the man before her and smiled somewhat amused.
-"So you're hungry eh?"
She said and smiled amused and waved around a bit with the piece of meat she had taken a bite from.
"Well, I don't see why! It's not natural and it is quite inconvenient." Plus, people seemed to feel they had to sleep all in one huge hunk while it was night and Ven was having trouble getting used to that. Everything seemed to come to a stop when the light went away.
The night was much easier on his eyes though. They sky was still terrifying, just in a new, different way.
Then he got a glimpse of the cleavage the naga had just exposed. Turning on all his charm, Ven gave her what he assumed was his sexy face, "Oh yes. I have...appetites that need filling."
She raised her eyebrows at first but then looked down where the man had looked and then smiled amused and intrigued.
-"Ah you're more hungry for another kind of meat i see."
She said in a teasing tone and took a large bit out the piece of she held and looked at the man with a slightly seductive gaze and using her arms to press her breast together further enhancing her cleavage.
-"So who are you then?"
She said giggling a bit and then tilted her head sligthly and smiled seductively.
Ven had words and he had been planning on using them to charm the pretty woman. Then she had done that thing with her breasts and all thoughts had fled. The fact that she was a naga really hadn't registered to Ven yet and with her breasts, he really wasn't likely to care.
"Uuuuh...what? Me? Venyamin! Yes. And you?"
She giggled amused by Venyamins stammering and somewhat cute akwardness.
-"My name is Sajira Asonaka."
She said while smiling seductingly and swayed her tail back and forth behind her while sizing Venyamin up from head to toe with her gaze.
-"Did you say you were hungry?"
She then asked smiling widely and took a bite from the piece of meat she had while still looking at Venyamin with a seductive gaze.
"Oh yes. Very." Ven still hadn't dragged his eyes away from her breasts. After so long with Set, it was nice to see an agreeable female shape. Not that Set wasn't attractive, but he lacked...well...those luscious breasts.
"Would you mind sharing?"
-"I would not mind"
She said with a seductive tone and smiled widely at Venyamin and tore off a piece from the meat she had and placed it on top of her cleavage and giggled lightly.
-"But you'll have to get it yourself"
She said giggling some more and wagged her tail back an forth. Sajira did not mind men touching her but she knew where and when to draw the line so this man needed to mind his manners at least to some degree.
This had to be a dream. Or a trick. Or both. Probably both. But there was no way Ven was backing away from this. Even if she slapped him or whatever, it would be totally worth it. Moving forward, Ven closed the distance between them and gave Sajira a cheeky grin, "A lady never has to ask twice."
Leaning down, Ven kept his hands behind his back and carefully lifted the hunk of meat she had rested on her breasts. Oh if only he could taste that skin. But Ven contented himself with eating the meat instead, savoring the taste.
She Smiled charmingly and observed Venyamin when he leaned over and picked up the meat from her cleavage.
-"Daring"
She said and grinned widely before slithering her tail around them both making a full circle. She raised herself and looked at Venyamin smiling gently.
-"So what are you doing around here?"
She said while slithering around Venyamin stroking one of her fingers seductively over his chin before placing her other hand on his shoulder and then leaning against him.
Okay, the slithering was a little weird and Ven wasn't sure how he felt about the snake bits. But the top half of her was lovely and she was actually flirting back! That hadn't been happening much since he had come to the surface.
"Uh...um...I..." Ven couldn't seem to make the words happen and stammered for a moment, staring wide eyes at the naga, "I came...for uh...what's your word...uh...seeing things. And I misplaced my friend..."
She smiled at the man and then slithered back to where she were from the beginning and coiled her tail beneath herself and laid on her back on top of her tail.
-"Sightseeing? Well theres plenty to see around here."
She said and stretched her body making a very provocative and seductive pose while looking at Venyamin smiling amused.
-"So liking what you have seen thus far?"
She said and giggled a bit and relaxed her body and looked up at Venyamin.
Whoa! The chick was totally into him! Finally! All these service girls were so prudish! And made a lot of rather rude demon comments. But finally one had taste!
The snake half was a little bit of a turn off, but he could deal, he was sure of it. Grinning, Ven did his best to look suave, "Oh, there are some very lovely sights."
-"So tell me, what sights do you like the most?"
she said and chuckled amused and rolled her body over laid on her stomach again placing her arms benath her breast enhancing her cleavage once again. This man were amusing thought Sajira maybe she can tease him some more.
((oh hell ya, Sajira The Teaser XD))
"Oh there are some....mountainous ranges that are very impressive." Which, actually was true, regardless of the double entendre he had been going for. He was still getting used to the amazing sights above ground.
-"Sounds nice"
She said in a teasing voice and then giggled a bit before picking up the piece of meat that was left and put all of it into her mouth and swallowed it whole.
Ooookay. That had cooled his libido a little. It was one thing to thing about the benefits of a jaw that unhinged, it was quite another, quite un-erotic thing, to see it in action. Blinking, Ven gave a small laugh, his skin a little pale, "Oh, uh, yes. It was. This place is very different from my home. I don't like this weather stuff though. Very inconvenient."
She looked back at Venyamin and giggled loudly before "Sitting" down on her coils and looked at him with an amused smile.
-"I see that put you off a bit"
She said and laughed a bit before picking up her shirt that were lying besides her on the ground and put i on.
-"There we go, So Venyamin where is your home?"
She then asked and smiled somewhat friendly at him.
The shirt confused Ven a little. Why hadn't she been wearing it earlier? And he was finally noticing that there was no one else around. Yet they were in a settlement of some sort.
Now Ven had a queasy feeling in his stomach and he started to wonder where that meat had come from.
"Oh...uh...down there." He gestured to the ground, "Uh...what happened here? Where is the rest of the people?"
-"From the ground?"
She said and her eyes glimmered with interest and curiousity, When he asked about the people that had been living in the Camp she looked around some and then back to Venyamin.
-"Well it seemed that tho only living in theese tents were cowards so they ran the second they laid eyes on me... I'm not that scary am i?"
She asked and put her index finger on her lip and tried to look as cute as she could while looking at Venyamin.
"Uh...yes. Below the earth. It's very lovely. Haven't ever been above ground before, not many of our people have." He was still a little nervous of the naga now. He edged away from the woman a little, "You are a vision of loveliness. Uh...they just ran away you say?"
-"Yeah just ran away, Then again i think it was because of the moonlight. You see my skin luminates a bit in the moonlight so they must have thought that i were some kind of ghost or wraith or something like that."
She said and laughed amused while looking at Venyamin with a friendly expression.
-"So you live under ground normally?"
She then said and scratched her side a bit with her nails and then shifted a bit on top of her coils to get a bit more comfortable.
That seemed logical, though Ven decided it was best to keep his distance from the snake woman for now. He nodded in response to her question, "Oh yes. It's lovely. And doesn't have all this irritating light changing and suddenly water and things come falling from the sky! I tell you, it's not natural!"
-"Water? oh Rain... Can't remember that it has rained lately though"
She looked up into the sky and then looked back at Venyamin and raised an eyebrow.
-"... I dont bite if that's what you are wondering"
She said and laughed a bit amused and crossed her arms under breasts enhancing her cleavage visible through the hole in her tight shirt.
"Well, it has. Buckets of the stuff. It's just creepy! I feel like I'm going to drown every time it happens. Disgusting." It was so much simpler below ground, made sense. The cleavage display was nice, but Ven still wasn't so sure the snake wasn't some monster, so he kept his distance this time.
-"Hmmmm well you know Rain is not that bad if you have some roof over you and a nice liquer to drink while watching it."
She said and smiled at Venyamin before looking over her shoulder spotting an parcel lyin on the ground.
-"Oh lucky!"
she shouted and slithered over to the parcel and picked it up, After she opened the parcel a bit she twitched in supprise and looked at the content.
-"Ehm... I think that they forgot something..."
She said and slithered back to Venyamin holding the parcel carefully and showed it to him revealing a small baby wrapped in the cloth sleeping soundly.
Ven stared at the baby with growing horror. There was no way some family just left a baby, not while fleeing. No mother would have left her child in that danger. The snake must have eaten them. Oh sweet earth spirit, please let that meat have been an animal.
Feeling a little sick, he gave an uneasy smile, reaching to take the child from her, "Oh? Really? Well, why don't I just take this and see if I can find it's mother..."
-"That's probably for the best... i mean they'll just run from me, i wont really have the chance off..."
She paused for some seconds and pulled the baby back the while looking at the it with a pridefull expression, She softly stroked the back of her hand against the babys cheek.
-"You know what.. I can't just give up like that, I have to find this childs mother i mean it's my fault that they are not toghether"
She said and coiled her tail up and made almost a bed with the coils and placed the small baby there softly on top or her coils.
-"I can't imagine why they would leave a baby behind.... Am i really that frightening?"
She said with a troubled expression and looked over to Venyamin.
"Yes that is wonderf-no-no, really, I can get her. It's no problem." Ven cursed his luck when she pulled the baby away. But luckily for him, she set it on her coils, probably saving it to eat later.
He reached down and carefully lifted the child, brushing a finger along his cheek, "You already said the mere sight of you caused panic. It would be best if I looked for the mother."
-"No i were the cause of this horrible tradgedy so i should be the one that fixes it"
She said and looked over Venyamin's shoulder on the child and brushed one of her fingers over the child's cheek like Venyamin had done but befor she could draw back her hand the child grabbed her finger with both of its hands. Sajira completly froze on the spot when the child did this and simply stared in awe as the child played with her finger laughing some.
-"...."
She could not bring herself to really say anything and her amazed expression soon turned into a soft smile and she laughed a bit herself.
-"Well aren't you the cutest little thing"
She said bringing herself a bit closer to both Venyamin and the child, letting the child play with her large index finger she just looked at the child like she were dreaming.
(( Sorry! i had no idea of how i should reply on this one. Sorry it took so loong for me to reply! ^.^' ))
Oh dear. That wasn't good. The naga had a weird look in her eyes that Ven didn't like. The cause of the horrible tragedy indeed! She ate the damn village! And now wanted to eat the baby. Ven shifted the child up onto his shoulder, gently breaking it's grip on the naga's finger.
He didn't care if the kid liked her, she wasn't going to get her hands on it, "No, no. I insist." He began to edge away, smiling awkwardly, "Really, I should get going on it right now. So I will just...see you...later!"
With that, Ven turned and ran full tilt away from the woman.
-"What? Ah!!"
Sajira looked at the back of Venyamin when he ran from her with the child in his arms. She sunk a bit downcast sighed somewhat sadly while looking after Venyamin with a lonely expression.
-"They always run... sooner or later"
She wiped her hand over her eyes quickly and looked at the direction where Venyamin had gone. She tightly clenched her fists before slithering after him very fast despite not having legs, Small patches of black colour started to spread over her scales and skin givin her a very good camouflage in the night. "I don't know if i can trust him with that child..." She thought to herself while she slithered after Venyamin in the shadows of the night quietly stalking him.
((Sajira has gone Stalker!! XD))
Still cradling the infant, Ven did his best to follow his nose to locate where his friend had gone off too. He was distracted enough by the tiny human and scanning for Set that he hardly noticed the sky changing or the naga on his tail.
Eventually he caught side of Set's bright head and he started to jog, the baby curled up asleep in his arms. He didn't want to yell and risk waking the baby so he waited until he was closer and gave a rough, whispery call, "Set! Pssst! Get over here!"
Set ventured further into the settlement. He was ready to move on, and if he didn't find Venyamin soon he would take his leave without saying farewell. The rain had stopped and there was good daylight to be used.
He turned his head and saw Venyamin coming towards down a side street. "Ven..."
He trailed off as he approached Ven and saw what he carried in his arms. Set stopped before him, looking down at the bundle. "That's a baby."
"No kidding." Ven gave Set an unamused look, "I rescued it. Sort of. Well, I mean, I did, but, guh. So, okay, I got lost, right? Then I ran into this camp, thinking I could ask for directions and stuff. But no one was there, just this half naked snake chick."
Ven glanced around, half expecting the naga to appear like some boogyman, "And I think she ate them all. She said they ran away, then she pulled this baby out of no where and said they left it! Who leaves a baby!? So I took it and ran and uh....we have a baby now!"
He beamed brightly at Set, "What shall we name...it?" He glanced down, realizing he didn't actually notice the sex of the child.
Sajira had followed Venyamin for some time now and were for the moment hidden in the bushes in the forest with an peering eye on Venyamin and his friend. She listened closely on what they both said and looked down dejectedly when she heard that he thought that she had ate all of the raiders from the camp. But when Venyamin said "We have a baby now!" She looked back at him with an enraged look and rose from her hiding place with her hood flared and an very angry expression, Her scales and skin changed back to the milky white they were from the beginning.
-"Liar! You said you would return the baby to it's mother!"
She hissed at Venyamin as she rose off from the ground more than usually, Like an animal she were trying to make herself look bigger to intimidate her prey. She had her fingers crooked showing that her claws were ready for an attack, The black colour remained around her hands and forearms.
When the naga appeared, Ven screamed, which woke up the baby, who started crying loudly. Moving with lightening speed, Ven ducked behind Set, curling protectively around the child, "SEE! SEE! The bitch is insane!"
"We do not have a baby now," Set corrected. What they had was a some other person's child, which Ven had rescued or possibly stolen. Set wasn't taking him on his word as to which it was. Sometimes he still wondered if Venyamin wasn't touched in the head. "You should return it to where you f—"
The naga's sudden movement cut him off. Set grasped the haft of his glaive and took a step back, wary but defensive, making no move yet against the naga. What she said only confused him further.
He did not move from the naga's path. Not to protect Venyamin, but to protect the child. He did not know this woman, nor her intentions. "Did you take the child from her, Ven?"
"Sort of! I mean, it's not her baby! I told you! She ate that village!" Ven kept the crying baby curled protectively against his chest, baring his teeth at the naga, tail lashing in anger. He was going to protect it from her with out without Set's help.
-"You said you were going to bring the child Back to it's mother! Apparently i cannot trust you with that!"
She yelled at Venyamin baring her own set of teeth and fangs. Her tail curled up benath her in a way so that she could lounge herself at Venyamin at any momen but she stayed in place patiently. The man beside Ven semed to be more of a warrior than Venyamin and he also had a weapon which made her curse at herself for not bringing her own weapon with her when she followed Venyamin.
-"And Also i do not eat humans!!"
She shouted obviously insulted by that statement and looked back and forth on both of the men in front of her, The black colour spread on her back so that it did not have to take so long for her magic to act but she kept it on her back only so that they could not see it.
Near as Set could tell, one or both of them had stolen a babe from someone or some place, and he now somehow found himself in judgement of the situation. He kept his hand on the haft of the glaive but did not draw it from its sling yet. He didn't want to be the one to spark violence here.
"Where did you take it from? You should take it back to where you got it."
"I told you! There was this deserted village, where that crazy woman killed everyone! It was all alone and she kept saying they left it! Who just forgets a baby? No one! Mother's think of their young before themselves!"
Ven kept Set between him and the insane Naga, still shielding the baby with his body, "She's gonna eat it!"
