Arkain sighs shaking his head. " I am glad to hear that. MMmm. Yea. I am sure it was unnerving. Good thing you are a good shot."<br/><br/>Arkain chuckles hearing your excuses to leave pile up. He always finds it amusing the excuses he hears to avoid being eaten. "Ahhhhh. A prototype.  I see. I am sure it was also expensive." He nods pretending to look concerned as he listens to you. "Well, you know, if your suit that bad of a flaw, then you should hope the enemy gets a hold of it. Right? So I think it will be OK if the suit stays out there a bit longer."<br/><br/>Arkain chuckles casually moving a bit closer to you. "Yea, you could say that. I am sure you could. The problem is I am really not interesting in THAT kind of military food. You see, you have already used the water from my watering hole and payment must be rendered. But you see there are advantages to the catch I was talking about. Everyone I eat is reformed. They come back alive and a good as new. My magic also heals them. The other advantage is that as long as you stay here at the Watering Hole, my magic will protect you. Say if you get eaten by someone else, you will be reformed. It's a pretty good arrangement especially with the things are giving how scare water is."<br/><br/>He grins a big toothy grin. "Anyone can leave any time they want, if they are crazy enough to want to brave the heat and lack of water out there but you, my friend, have a debt to settle before you go any where." He doesn't try to grab you yet but his tail is as tight as a spring ready to strike in case you try to make a run for it.
