Thread: The Great Serpent (M2) Dreamie~Middie

Really? Raan glanced at the human, frowning a bit, so Ammon adopted a young naga? The news made him stir, he was frankly pissed at humans still, and learning that they had murdered the young child's parents, leaving him an orphan in a harsh world. The Naga seemed visibly disturbed, he shifted a little, though the Amazon's appearance allowed him to rest a bit easier. The woman approached him and thrust a small package in his direction. The Naga examined the package cautiously and opened it carefully, trying not to teat or shred it's packaging. Venison Raan had never heard the term before, though he would likely figure it out as soon as he took a bite. Raan looked at the hunk of meat, distracting himself with removing the packaging when Ammon wandered off to attend to her business. 'Raan tried the meat, carefully lifting it up and taking a small bite from it. He had grown accustomed to catching and killing his own food over the years, so a gift of food from a human was a tad odd. The naga took his bite from the food and tasted it thoughtfully, he found he quite liked the meat, it tasted familiar, but the salt was an unexpected surprise for him. The male looked surprised, pausing with a bewildered look on his face before tearing into the food. 'Raan didn't realize he was tearing into the food until a couple seconds later when he heard the child's voice piped up. 'Raan hadn't really noticed how hungry he was. The male naga looked up from the meat he was scarfing down to catch sight of the child that Irving had mentioned, pestering Ammon about food. The Naga child was quick to begin with his mother, first asking if 'Raan was her husband, the naga almost snickered, but held it back, it WAS an amusing thought at least, the child's innocence brought him back a bit as well. 'Raan paused, stopping his eating long enough to watch the interactions between the woman and the child, his eyes sliding from one to the other... when the talk turned to Ammon leaving with 'Raan and tears came up, he couldn't help but feel a little bad for the child, he was obviously quite attached to the human woman. The naga watched as the child cried, and was sent off, before he could get away though, 'Raan stirred from his position, moving away from his spot. 'Raan moved quickly, moving in front of the child, it was odd for him to feel this way, but he saw too much of himself in 'Evra to simply let the child go thinking his adoptive mother was abandoning him, or worrying about her while she was gone with him, it moved the Naga greatly, even though he wasn't of Evra's breed, he still felt a tug of a paternal instant inside of him. 'Raan cut the boy off, moving in front of him, a great frown on his face, without a word he stooped over and placed a hand on the child's head, using the other to carefully remove a tear. Be strong, little one. I will take very good care of her, and she will take good care of me. 'Raan's golden eyes were unusually soft, he likely had a child of his own, though he wouldn't recognize that child unless he saw her. 'Raan was abandoned by his parents, he raised himself, though during the time he was with humans they attempted to 'raise' him in their own way, which he did not appreciate. 'Raan had moved in before Ezra could get too far away, he simply couldn't have let the child leave so heartbroken. 'Raan moved his hands, tilting the child's chin up to look into his eyes. We will return, do not worry about that. 'Raan smiled before he moved to the side, letting Ezra pass Go ahead, keep your chin up, be strong. 'Raan turned around and moved back to Ammon and the male human, 'Raan didn't know what the humans would think from 'Raan's sudden and unprovoked attempt to calm a child he did not even know... but he certainly felt better now. When he returned, 'Raan looked at Ammon Alright, I am fine to leave whenever you are The naga 'stood at his natural height, a little taller than most humans could stand on their toes, settling back a bit again. His body was still sore from the attack, in several places the humans had struck him or attempted to cut him, the Naga would likely have appreciated a little more rest. Where are we going though? Raan was a little curious, if they weren't going to travel with the main group, then what path would they be taking to get to this Haven place?. The Naga's golden gaze settled on Ammon, she was likely still not feeling too fantastic about having to part with Ezra, perhaps it wasn't best if they totally left. Do you have anything you need to gather before we leave 'Raan lowered a hand to his side, covering the painful, spot below his ribs.
