(Sorry for the delay, I'm just back from my UK trip and going away in a couple days again.)<br/><br/>Suri holds as well, joining her father in holding the snake's jaws wide open and tightening her grip as tight as she could on his throat, to prevent him from swallowing the brown naga. She could feel the strain in the muscles of her four arms and her tail, but she wasn't going to give up so easily. They would prevail, as a family, as they always did, by working together. There was nothing they couldn't do. She smiles triumphantly when she feels the jaws of the large snake give up and open, and she looks at her mother when Jaku yells.<br/><br/>Tamara pulls on the brown naga's tail with all her might, the tree she has wrapped herself around creaking under the effort as she tighten her coiling tail around it. The brown naga slip out of the giant snake's maw like soap slipping on a wet floor, sending both Tamara and the naga tumbling backwards. She almost let him go, surprised by the ease at which he comes out, but she manages to hold on his tail and prevents him from slamming against the tree.<br/><br/>The brown naga squirms and struggles, not really understanding what was happening, though glad to be out and take a breathe. His upper part was soaked with saliva from the snake, and he coughed and sputtered to clear his airways of the mucus that accumulated during his short stay inside the snake. Tamara quickly lifted his head to upper part up until she could speak to him.<br/><br/>"I hope you can run," she says, simply, knowing full well that the serpent was not going to abandon so easily.<br/><br/>Then she looks at Arkain, and grins seeing how he has coiled the snake's tail around a tree or a log. It might not hold for long, but it should give them a headstart.
