As soon as he saw Zaana cry, Nova cursed at himself as he hugged Zaana's head and told the snake in a soothing tone, "I'm sorry, Zaana, that was cruel of me to say.  You probably haven't hurt anyone yet, but that little wag of your tail that took out that forest might have put a lot of animals in danger, and I know you don't want to hurt anything."  Nova brought a hand to his chin as he wracked his brain for a plan on what they'd be doing next.  Soon enough, he snapped his favors as he told the snake, "I have a plan on what we can do, in the meantime.  We could go to the mountains about 25 miles from here.  They're completely devoid of any animals or people due to a few shrines to the gods that are scattered around the mountains, so we wouldn't be in danger of hurting anything.  If we go there, then we can wait out for a while until you get back to normal size, okay?  Now please, don't cry, Zaana.  I don't want to see you cry or to see you sad."
