Arkain lets out an audible gasp when he feels the sand hit his chest and wrap around him just before he hits the water. Looking back at you when you says he's captured and lets out a deep sigh and relaxes his body resigning to being captured. Letting out a chuckles he smiles. " Indeed. That you have." He studies snake shaped sand carefully and nods. " Most impressive. Mmmmm. Yes, I see that. You must have made your teacher proud. Though I am curious the reason why you had to leave the nest to become a mercenary and learn to do this." He takes your left hand and grasps it firmly and pulls himself up then shakes the sand off his body. "Thank you."  He smiles. "Thank you. That is a great compliment coming from you. I am still holding up my end of the agreement. To the victor go the spoils. I am sure my insistence to being eaten by you my come across as a bit odd and you are a bit reluctant. I don't blame you. I should have been more up front but I couldn't.  My position being in charge here made it difficult. I will be honest with you. You see there was another reason I was resting on the beach, it was also because I was very drained of energy and was very tired. I just came back from helping some friends who were way over on other side of the watering hole. There problem turn out to be much more complicated then I first imagined it would be. It took a lot of work and energy but the problem got resolved. Why I need you to eat me is because that is how I restore my energy. When I am reformed I come back at full strength and fully healed. I am also a healer. That's part of the reason why my reformation magic works so well. I would heal your arm right now but just am to weak to do it. Trust me I will fix it. I just can't do it right now. You can understand why can't come across as being weak, even if I loose and I hope you understand why I am asking for your help. It's a win win situation." His smile grows bigger as  he looks at your belly.
