The injured soldier hears his comrade call out. He hobbles over toward him speaking in a firm but low tone. "Quiet you damn fool. Do you want those nagas to find us again? Don't you see all these big snake trails. We have to be near their lair. We have to get out of here." The soldier looks around nervously.<br/><br/>Arkain nods. "You are right. Two of them and...." Arkain quiet steps forward and looks through a bush and sees one appears to have been badly injured. He backs up and has them move back some with him. He whispers to them. "And they are very close. Looks like you are going to have your first live hunt. They don't appear to have any weapons. I could be wrong. You always want to be careful with humans. One appears to be badly hurt. I am going to heal the injured human. There's no sport in chasing them when they are hurt. Right?" He snickers with a sly grin. "I want you two be ready. Give them a head start. You don't want to make it too easy. Then they are yours. And remember you each get one." He eyes Suri knowing she probably would be quick enough to get both. "When you catch them, bring them back to the lair then you can eat them safely in here. Try not to let them see where the lair is, OK? Here I go."<br/><br/>Arkain steps around the bush staying low and walks up to them looming all about pretending to be scared and lost. "Shhhhh! Your closer then you think." The injured soldier jumps back seeing the big lizard approach them. "What the..." Arkain puts his finger up to his mouth and crouches low to the ground.. "Shhhh! Your need to get out of here. Now!" He looks at the injured solider. "He's not going anywhere fast. Listen, I don't think anyone should be food for those nagas. You are going to have to trust me when I say I am a healer.  I can heal your injuries so you can travel but decide now cause I don't plan to hang around and be food for them."<br/><br/>The injured solider looks his comrade nervously torn if he should trust the lizard or not. "What should I do? Do you feel we can trust him?"
