It might seem odd that Janin would play this game with Jath. After all, his greatest fear was being eaten, and his greatest desire was not to be treated like a human at all. Yet here was Jath, acting as though he was about to become prey, treating him like he would any human. The truth was, the game was...comforting in a way. With Jath he could let go, because he knew Jath saw him as a naga, to the extent that sometimes he forgot Janin was human. He didn't have to prove anything to Janin, or be on his guard or defensive. All he had to do was trust his brother, and he did.<br/><br/>Jathew would never eat him, well, swallow him maybe, but he'd never be a meal, not really. Jath would die before he'd see him hurt. So this game was safe, and it was kind of thrilling to play out his fears in a completely safe way. Although, right now, he was hungry, and talking about eating wasn't helping. Still, he would have hated to spoil the fun.<br/><br/>He feigned horror at being licked. "No! Please don't eat me!"
