((Heh, sorry, I posted to the others that life had gotten crazy here and my internet had been...  lower than normal on the priorities.  Sorry I let the notification thing I was doing slip through the cracks.  ^_^;  ))<br/><br/>Delilah looks down at her ribs, the bruise that was quickly starting to form as she was ejected from Jaku's gullet healed amazingly fast.  "I...  I feel fine now.  You're a mage..."  The first thing through her mind was wondering why they needed a doctor when they had a magic healer.  "Err, sorry, I'm Delilah.  Umm, I'm a doctor.  Why-"  Wait, she really doesn't want to ask why she's still alive, after seeing how the tailmouths deal with humans normally, was it out of honor?  If they dont' need a doctor...<br/><br/>Then she noticed Arkain's tail, and the subtle slit of a mouth on it...  One of the nagas must have tried to change him.  She also noticed the two children...  The nagas can breed normally when no humans around to change.  As she stared around silently, she figured it out.  The tailmouths didn't need a doctor, they needed a female that could be changed into one of them.  Her voice was shy as she looked at the two kids, "Um...  Hi?"<br/><br/>Feign looked a little confused at Vega's question.  "Um... they're right there." He nodded over at Tasu and Suri, who both looked about preteen-age.  He was about to comment on the Russian naga's perceptiveness, but then noticed that with the exception of a few glances at her surroundings, she was looking almost entirely at him...  "Um...  Did you say eleven siblings?"  Suddenly visions went running through his mind of a shotgun marraige and a den crawling with a dozen tiny nagas, all calling him 'papa'.  The thought made him look a little dizzy.
