Food was food right, and Sefii looked like he could use a decent meal. He then looked at the human boy with mild curiosity. As rule, he'd stayed clear of his own kind, if they could be considered that. Really, Janin didn't consider them that. He was raised by naga, and a member of the naga pack, and even though he could never be a naga except in his heart, he surely had more in common with them than with humans. In fact, he disliked humans, he almost hated them because he hated that he was one of them, instead of as he ought to be, a naga. Yet, he was still Janin, and Janin couldn't really hate anyone, he was too nice for that. <br/><br/>"He's Sefii, and I'm Janin, but people don't usually introduce themselves to their meals, do they?" He asked, tone light almost mirthful. "and you want to be eaten? That's silly, no matter how bad things seem, you shouldn't want to die, but since you did come over here," he looked at Sefii, "well, you should probably grab him before he changes him mind. He was asking for it right, and you do need to eat." He said sweetly, honestly concerned for his, perhaps overly sensitive friend.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Sefii sighed, janin was right, and this meal seemed so willing... but it didn't make it right to kill the poor creature. "Do you really think your life is that pointless, that you would rather give it to me? Is there really no one who would be sad if you didn't return home?" He gracefully slithered over to the young human and paused, looking at him.<br/><br/> "How old are you Jace...?"<br/><br/>He wasn't sure why that mattered, but surely the boy was just that; a boy. The human had barely begun to live yet, could his existence really be that awful for him that becoming a naga's meal was the preferred option? It just seemed so sad to him.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>"I'm... I'm 18." Jace said quietly. This naga seemed different than he expected, almost nice. With any other naga, he was sure he'd just be gobbled up right away, but this naga, Sefii, was asking him how old he was, like he cared. "And to be honest, I don't care what happens to me, I've been kicked out of my home, all for..."<br/><br/>Jace admired the naga in front of him, his slender form and bright blue scales tickling his interest "...liking... guys. And now I don't know what to do tonight. I have no place to go." He looked up at Sefii "So that's why, you see?"
