"Sefii," Janin hissed, "maybe we shouldn't get so personal with prey, you won't be able to kill it if you get attached, and you certainly can't keep him." He didn't mean to be cruel, he wasn't a cruel person, but he couldn't look like he pitied a human. No that would be weak, worse than that, it would be traitorous. Janin was a naga in his heart, and he couldn't afford to feel anything toward a human, lest someone think he really did belong with that kind instead of with the serpents. It was probably best he didn't speak to the boy at all, but he couldn't help be moved my his story. "The one who birthed you abandoned you for that? Is this common with humans?" he looked disgusted, "no wonder we see their kind as lower beings." Then again, he already knew that. His own mother had left him to die in the wilderness, when he was just an innocent baby who had done nothing to possibly offend her. Jace's fate was just as cruel, no family should turn on it's own like that. The story further cemented Jace's dislike of humans, even if he felt sorry for the one before him.
