Katy swallowed, suddenly feeling nervous again when Jaku asked his questions, prompting Tamara to gently cuddle her and try to comfort the brown naga. It seemed to work and Katy visibly relaxed.<br/><br/>"I... We had to flee. Get out of you and try our luck on our own, before the Queen takes us and eats us all," said the young naga, a look of fear in her eyes. "Because that is why we are here, all of us : she wants us as food, and you delivered quite a lot of nourishment," added Katy while eyes switched between Jaku and Tamara.<br/><br/>Tamara blinked and looked at Jaku, then back at Katy. She looked like she couldn't make any sense of what the brown naga was saying. Suri had also stopped helping her father wash and was listening and watching, looking quite lost as well.<br/><br/>"You don't remember the village, and the ship before that, do you ?" asked Katy to Tamara.<br/><br/>"Ship ?" said Tamara, frowning. "There's no ship here, we're too far from the sea. And I don't need to remember the village : we're in it !"<br/><br/>"Not this one," said Katy. "The other one, the one we created next to the shore, soon after the ship deposited us here, along with the otters and some crewmates. You remember the otters ?"<br/><br/>"Otters... ?" she echoed, looking troubled. "What... are you talking about ?" added Tamara, confused, looking between Katy and Jaku.<br/><br/>"Yes, the otters ! Both of you took many of them inside you, and they went willingly, because of the promise of becoming nagas like you at some point, and enjoying your inner world in the meantime, a world of peace and love and joy," continued Katy.<br/><br/>"I... Jaku ? What... is she saying ?" asked Tamara to her mate, confused and not a little scared now.
