Arkain laughs loudly at Strange's comment then shakes his head. "Noop. Looks like you have someone to keep you entertained." His tail when you start to play with him. It's coils stretch longer and a coil sweeps under your legs then as you fall backward his coils move behind you making a cushion of coils to land on. The tip of his tail quickly comes around and starts to nuzzle you in the belly and ribs tickling you.<br/><br/>Arkain looks at Zasx and nods. <Yes Zasx, your are right. The network is one way to describe this connection but it's so so much more to it. Every living thing is connected to it each in their own special way. I am lucky enough to have been given an understanding of it and ability to connect to it but there is only one who truly understands it all.> Arkain smiles thinking about it. Then he laughs. <The other predators? Yes, a small fox like you surely will catch their interest.> Arkain reaches down and puts his hand on your shoulder and moves you close to him then he rubs your shoulder gently. <You don't have to worry about that any more while you are hear. That is why I insisted in eating you first. My reformation magic is now fully protecting you. Anyone here can eat you and you will reform.><br/><br/>Arkain smiles as he looks over at Zecel and nods in his direction as he talks to Zasx. He can see the ice crystal on his shell. <Watch. I am going to have a little fun with him." Arkain closes his eyes and he points at the water and  line of water slides up his shell. Quickly the water starts to form a circle around the crystal that would best be described as a castle. After it is finished surrounding crystal the wall facing Zecel starts to shimmer then a drawbridge forms and drops and Zecel can see the crystal inside it.
