"No, we are not. Not that I know," came the quiet reply as Xanril shook his head, his eyes still locked on Faust's. Only a little while longer and his mind would be in a sort of pliable state, one that would accept the suggestions given to him without Faust having to actually stare at him, and one that, if Faust kept him alive long enough, would cause him to obey just the sound of the hunter naga's voice. No human that Faust used this gift of his own, however, ever lasted that long--then again, neither did any naga. Faust had to admit, there was a sort of thrill in hunting his own kind, normally criminals or rogue naga, though, there had been times when a naga had gone out hunting and just never returned. Those days and night were very satisfying ones indeed. Hopefully this new toy would keep Azar too occupied to bother telling the others about Faust's trips across the river.<br/><br/>"I do think you are beautiful," Faust admitted, a slight flush of pink in his cheeks. He wasn't the sort of man to admit that he was attracted to another man, though heaven knows he had been very satisfied amongst the sailors and all that would come into the port. "A beautiful, serpentine god." He bowed his head, though, as usual, his eyes never left Faust's, and pressed his lips in deference to the collar of the naga holding him.<br/><br/>"You will worship him, won't you, human?" Faust's voice asked, though it truly sounded more like an order.<br/><br/>"Yes."<br/><br/>"Do all that he commands?"<br/><br/>"Yes."<br/><br/>"Give yourself over to his hunger, be it of the flesh or for sustenance?"<br/><br/>"Yes."<br/><br/>"And you will never leave, to return to your people, will you?" he added, almost as an after thought. "Your life for the naga, a trophy for Azar, and pet to play with as he pleases?"<br/><br/>"Forever."<br/><br/>"Ah, good," the larger naga sighed, closing his own eyes as he slipped from the branches and landed on the ground behind Faust, a clawed hand taking the naga's cheek from behind. "He's all yours, Azar. This is a little gift from me to you, to ensure that what this little boy has spoken today does not leave this place." He leaned closer, turning his head to face him fully, eyes focusing on Azar's. "If it goes any further, then the next time you hunt will be the last. Understand?"
