Why Am I Here? [Rhi!]

Ruben was going to put the naga's head through a wall.  He ground his teeth together than tried again, still speaking slowly and clearly.  "No.  I need drawings that are exact replications of the...the pictures on the wall."

Pictographs was probably too big a word, he realized.

"Oh," Charik said, expression turning puzzled. "Why didn't you say so?"

With a laugh (for Ruben amused him so!), he waved a hand to catch the eye of a scurrying servant and he bowed as he approached.

"The lady here would like a drawn copy of the wall carvings back that way," he said, motioning lazily down the hall. "Arrange for that to be done posthaste!"

The man rushed off, and Charik turned back to Ruben with a pleased smile. "See? All you had to do was ask."

That was...progress he supposed.  And it would go faster with multiple people working on it.  But how accurate would this naga's servant's be?

"I'm going to oversee the work," he said, sliding past the naga.

Rhindeer

"What? Why?" Charik said, and grabbed Ruben's arm. "That's menial servant work. You are now in a god's harem! You no longer have to worry about such labors. You can enjoy luxury instead!"

Ruben glared at Charik's grip on his arm.  The grabbing and the carrying was going to have to stop.  He had a go at pulling his arm free.

"Because I don't trust them to do it right."

Rhindeer

"Of course they'll do it right. They're the royal artists! We only have the best serving us, for only the best are fit to serve a God."

"Even so..."  He'd have to find who was truly in command here.  This naga had the mind of a child, it couldn't actually be him.

Ruben wrenched at his arm.  "Let go of me."

Rhindeer

Charik let him go at that, but laid a hand on his back to help guide him along down the hall. "Now then, let's get you fed and cleaned up! These clothes are atrocious. Certainly not fitting for the consort of a God."

Ruben allowed himself to be propelled along, if only because it got him going in the direction he wanted.

At least the naga's servants were swift.  The question remained as to their competence.

"Later," he said, "after I have proof they're going to do this right."

Rhindeer

Charik let out a long-suffering sigh. "Of course they'll do it right. They want to serve us to the best of their ability, for we are their god! Now, as for your clothes..."

For Charik was starting to grow bored of this subject. He wanted to see what Ruben would look like in something that suited him better than all that awful cloth!

He had guided Ruben to his own chambers, which were large and exorbitantly elaborate. Gently pushing Ruben inside, he slithered toward his wardrobe and selected a colorful sarong.

He held it out to him. "Go on, put this on. You'll sweat to death in those awful clothes!"

The second the naga turned his back to rummage through that garish wardrobe, Ruben stalked right out of the room again.

That the servants would fulfill the naga's orders to the best of their ability, he did not doubt.

He just doubted that the best of their ability was worth anything.

Charik still had his back to Ruben as he shuffled through his wardrobe, his other hand extended out behind him, so when no one took the garment, he waved it impatiently. And when Ruben still didn't take it, he frowned and looked behind him--and saw his new pet was gone.

Ugh! Couldn't she stand still for five seconds?!

"Darling!" he called, coils twisting and sliding over themselves as he turned around and slithered from the room, already feeling exhausted! This girl was simply exhausting! She ran around so much! Whereas for Charik, it took a lot of effort to get himself moving and he was already ready for one of his several daily naps!

He frowned when he caught sight of her back as she headed down the hall, and he picked up his pace with a grunt.

"Darling, wait! We found you some gorgeous new clothes!"
