(Again, my apologies for the delay.  Will be completely moved-in tomorrow though, so this shouldn't happen again.)<br/><br/>Looking back and forth between Jaku and Arkain as they explain their respective plans, Azlant realizes just how many people in the town likely know that they're there.  Although he had kept her covered as best as he could, there's only so much you can do when a massive naga comes bursting into a populated area.<span style="font-style: italic">"No, you're probably right.  As much as I'd like to be able to leave quietly, that probably isn't an option at this point.  However, if it's fireworks you want, I can help."</span><br/><br/>As Jaku motions for a pair of workers to stop, Azlant wonders where exactly she's going with her idea.  It's certainly obvious what it's meant to look like, but what she plans to do with them afterwards he's unsure of.  The foreman appears to have similar concerns, but Azlant can see some of the possibilities that Jaku might be hinting at.<span style="font-style: italic">"Regardless of how we go about this, Arkain and Jaku are right about one thing: it can't look like you're aiding us.  As for blackmailing them...it could work, but we have to consider what Chimera might do to the town afterwards; they may decide to punish them for not trying to stop us more forcefully."</span><br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Kellus can't really decide what to think about Tamara devouring Suri.  While it's obviously safe, given their surroundings, she goes about it with a desire and speed that hints at her being a rather voracious predator.  "Oh, I'm not worried that she'd hurt us; I'm not even sure if such a thing would be possible in here.  No, it's more just the simple fact that if she wanted to go after either of us, I don't think that there'd be much we could do about it."  Watching the slowly-moving bulge work it's way through Tamara's body until it finally comes to a relative halt, he's still a little surprised by the implication that she'd have room for all three of them if she so desired; obviously her stomach's normal size wasn't at all indicative of her apparent capacity.
