Naomi kept her aim at the naga, although it was clearly unsteady.  "Drop your weapon," she growled, trying to sound braver than she actually felt.  "Drop it now!"  Odds are that the naga was much more of a soldier than her, but that didn't mean that Naomi would let it have its way.  "I don't want to hurt you.  Just put down your weapon, and back away."  She glanced over her shoulder to the teenage girl, making sure she wasn't in the naga's line of fire.
