"If you do not want to be inside us, we will not force you," said Tamara to the brown naga. "We only ever take those who are willing. If you've been watching us as you said, you certainly realized that we did not force anyone to come to us. All the ones who did join us came willingly, of their own accord. We would never force anyone to join against their will because it would bring negative feelings into our inner realms, and we want to keep them a place of joy, love and happiness."<br/><br/>Suri nodded in agreement with her mother's words.<br/><br/>"We would like you to bring us to this queen of yours," she continued. "We want to get our friend back, and we won't let your queen eat him if we can prevent it. We do not take anyone unwilling, by force or any kind of coercion, and we won't allow this to happen to any member of our family," she said with a resolute tone and look that Suri shared.
