There's little doubt that Tamara is ready to jump into the fray, and only Jaku's arms are preventing her from going in. She glances back at her beloved mate and nods, then looks back at the massive snake currently swallowing the brown naga. Her lips are retracted into a silent snarl, showing the glistening pearly whites, and she has unsheathed her claws. That naga is their only link, their only means to establish contact with the locals and learn more, and she'll go in and slice the brown snake open through it's length if she has to, to get the naga out.<br/><br/>Suri slides up next to her mother and adopts the same stance, although she looks a bit less sure about this than her mother. The brown snake looks immense, and there's no telling how of it is still hidden under the bushes. They might be trying to bite more than they can chew. But even she knows that they have to save the naga before it's too late. She looks at Jaku and nods as well, then glances at Arkain to see his reaction.<br/><br/>"We can't wait," whispers Tamara. "If we strike now, while it's feeding, we'll surprise it and have more chance to save the naga. And that might make him more trusting of us if we help and save him, shows our good intentions."
