Iyano frowned. Ok, so the boy definitely knew Sefii, there was no doubt about that, his description had been right on the spot. Yet...he had no intention of letting this human go. He and Azar had plans and he was too excited about it to put a stop to it.<br/>"What Sefii doesn't know, won't hurt him. Azar's right, the moment you crossed the river you were ours. Count yourself lucky that Sefii caught you last time, because others wouldn't have been so merciful."<br/><br/>He sighed seeing that both Azar and Shaidon were upset and glared at Jamie.<br/>"Now, you're going to stop this nonsense! I don't care if you are a friend of Sefii. Do you really think he would be angry at me for eating you?"<br/>Iyano chuckled mockingly, even though in his heart, he couldn't be too sure. "I don't think so! You're only a human after all."<br/><br/>He squeezed his coils a bit tighter, not to hurt him, but to warn him "I don't like it when my friend is upset, you'd do well to remember that. You're even upsetting your own friend. The little one was fine until you arrived and look at him now."<br/><br/>There, let him think about that! Iyano knew he would hate it, if he were to upset one of his friends, which is why he was a bit worried about this thing with Sefii.<br/><br/>"Keep this up and I will become very angry and you don't want that, believe me. We had plans with Shaidon and we're going to get through with that, whether you like it or not. You can either join, or I can tie you to a tree and leave you there until I'm hungry. I don't mind either, as long as I can spend some time with Azar and his little one."<br/><br/>This boy was infuriating!<br/><br/><br/>Shaidon looked at his friend sadly and begged for him to stop angering Iyano “Please…Jay…This isn’t helping.” He whimpered “Y-you’re only making things worse. He’s not joking! He will get angry if you don’t stop!”<br/><br/>It’s not like he didn’t appreciate what Jamie was trying to do. His friend had saved and helped him many times before. It never had been as dire as this though.<br/><br/>“Besides, I could never return to the village, even if your naga friend Sefii manages to get us out of this. I made a promise and you know I never break one…” He was slightly worried that Jay would be angry at him for making that promise in the first place.<br/><br/>He would be happy if his friend could get away, but he just didn’t see that happening. Iyano had just made that abundantly clear. It was wise not to anger the naga, because he definitely had somewhat of a mean streak, if provoked. The light bruises on his hips were witness of that and he hadn’t even done anything to deserve that!<br/><br/>In a last desperate attempt to make his friend see reason, he sobbed out. “I-I don’t want to see you get hurt…Don’t you dare make me see that! I…wouldn’t be able to bear it.”<br/><br/>When he felt Azar’s hand through his hair he turned his attention to him and leaned into the touch. He bit his lip. Azar was upset because of his crying. He knew he shouldn’t care whether the naga was upset or not, but he did. He didn’t want anyone to be upset because of him.<br/>Wiping his tears, he said “I’m sorry…I’ll try not to cry anymore. We didn’t mean to ruin your date, Jay just wants to protect me…”<br/><br/>He had somewhat accepted what was in store for him, he was afraid to die, but it’s not like he could change it. But Jay…He shouldn’t have come here, he should have been at home, annoying the village elders with his great adventures.<br/>They’ve had great adventures together.<br/>He would miss that…
